Congress appoints former ON Congressional Speaker as interim Editorial Board member

Interim board member appointment comes in wake of new legislation prohibiting ON board and commission members from serving beyond their terms

The Osage Nation Executive and Legislative branches of government are seeking two appointees to serve on the Editorial Board after both branches did not reappoint and confirm two board members earlier this year when those terms expired. The board’s third position also expired this year.

In the meantime, the Third ON Congress voted to appoint former Congressional Speaker Jerri Jean Branstetter to a six-month interim Editorial Board term. Congresswoman Shannon Edwards made the motion on Oct. 1 – the last day of the Tzi-Zho Session.

Letter to Osage News readers from former Editiorial Board members

Editorial Board members no longer serving due to new legislation targeting Osage Nation board and commission terms

October 5, 2012

To Osage News Readers:

Earlier this week we learned that new legislation from the Osage Congress effectively ends our service as members of the Osage Nation Editorial Board. We respect the law and end our terms hopeful that our work has established a stable foundation for a free and independent press in the Osage Nation. Though we were appointed by Osage Nation governmental bodies, our commitment has always been to you as Osage readers and to the principles of a free press.

College professors Warrior and Teresa Trumbly Lamsam interviewed for the three-person board which oversees the Nation’s newspaper

The Osage Nation Congress selected one of two Osage academic scholars considered for the Editorial Board which oversees the Osage News during its Special Session on Wednesday.

By majority vote, the Congress chose Robert Warrior, director of American Indian Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, as its appointment for the Editorial Board after a congressional committee conducted separate phone interviews with Warrior and Teresa Trumbly Lamsam who sat on the newspaper’s Editorial Council appointed by Principal Chief Jim Gray last year.
