Description; At the General Council meeting, there was a discussion about non-tribal members being present. A motion was put forward to ask them to leave, and it was passed. The primary issue addressed at the meeting was the transportation of oil and gas off the reservation using multiple trucks during all hours of the day and night. This scandal has attracted the attention of the media, and Sonosky is facing criticism at the center of it.
