“While we have had preliminary discussions with the Governor's office, talks of negotiation would be premature without the in-depth conversations that are necessary to move forward.

We have also clearly stated that we are open to discussions, but first and foremost the Governor must respect our authority as a Sovereign Nation. We hope to build this relationship to better explore what options will be available moving forward.”
