New Blog Name: Sicangu Shortcut, New Butte Creek Council Rep

Good afternoon Rosebud! Today, RST Comms decided on the names for our new blog and radio show. The new blog name is "Sicangu Shortcut" which was suggested by one of our FB audience members. We thought it was very spot on with what the purpose of the blog is. Sicangu because we are Sicangu of course and Shortcut because we'd like to get a short and sweet, weekly update on whats happening within the Tribe. Perfect and to-the-point!

The new radio show will be called "Rezelations" which was also suggested by one of our audience on FB. Our plan for the show is to talk about various topics that might interest the people of Rosebud. Topics will range from light or carefree, to a little more serious but whatever the topic, we aim to be relatable to our listeners. You can look forward to interesting discussion on, for example, governmental affairs or even frybread recipes, with a little native humor mixed in of course. RST Communications is all about the people; working to make Tribal information accessible and creating new ways to connect and share.

Yesterday, Thursday, October 26th 2023, a Special Election was held for the Butte Creek Council Seat. There were a total of four candidates and after tallying the votes, Evastine "Cowboy" Wright was elected. Today, the RST Election Board held the swearing-in ceremony at 1:45PM in the council chambers here in Rosebud.
