Boozhoo! Niigaanosekwe indizhinikaaz, Miskwaabikaang indoonjibaa, makwa indoodem. My name is Woman Who Walks First. My legal name is Delores Gokee-Rindal. Most people know me by Dee. I'm the new Family & Human Services Administrator.

I was born and raised here in Red Cliff, and I've spent most of my life here. I have a doctoral degree in Educational Policy & Administration, but my true education has occurred through my lifelong quest and experiences with indigenous ways of knowing and being. After 40 years of working in administrative capacities throughout Indian Country, I retired last year. However, my tribe is calling me back! It will be my honor to work with our Family & Human Services staff.

I appreciate the opportunity to once again serve my community. Miigwech, Mi'iw.

Join Giwiidosendimin Circle of Healing at Ginanda Gikendaasomin Red Cliff Library this Saturday January 20 from 11 AM - 2 PM to make your own feast bundle!

A feast bundle is a bag you use to carry your own plate, bowl, and utensils when you attend a ceremony or feast.

The goal of bringing your own feast bundle is to help reduce the amount of landfill waste and garbage created when gatherings/feasts generate large amounts of styrofoam or single-use plastic garbage.

This is a simple way we can help protect Mother Earth and do our part in keeping her clean for future generations!

Please call 715-979-1554 with any questions. The Library is located at the cultural grounds, 36750 Hwy 13 in Gaa-Miskwaabikaang.
