Representatives from the Omaha, Winnebago, Santee Sioux and Ponca Tribes as well as the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs and State Senator Brett Lindstrom met with Nebraska State Senator Tyson Larson in Lincoln on Thursday, November 12 to discuss a variety of issues including economic development, education and social services. The purpose of the work group is to identify issues and opportunities for Nebraska tribes that can be addressed by legislation in the next legislative session which convenes in January. The group plans to conduct several more meetings yet this year so they can discuss issues in more detail.
