A Letter to Our Nation
Aba'ashtenah
I acknowledge our Elders and our ancestors, who carried our language, our laws, ethics and morals, and our way of life so we could be here today. It is because of them that we stand strong.
Today, we are being called home, not just to vote, but to remember and live out the ancestral values that define us as Stoney Nakoda people. We are people of relationship, responsibility, and respect.
I am stepping forward as a candidate to become your leader, to work in service for the hearts and minds of the People.
We are a strong Stoney Nakoda people.
We have always been here.
And we will continue to thrive.
Let us move forward in unity, bringing our Hearts & Mind together!
Ishneesh,
Reg Cardinal
Chief Candidate
Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation
Election 2026
Four Priorities for Our Future
The foundation of this campaign
Strong Hearts — Healthy People
Support wellness, recovery, culture, and families. Invest in mental health, traditional healing, and programs that strengthen our people from within.
Safe Communities — Tribal Peacekeepers
Safety is a foundation for everything else. Our Elders, youth, and families deserve to feel secure.
- •Develop harm reduction systems for addiction related violence & crime
- •Support Tribal Peacekeepers with resources and cultural competency training
- •Create safe spaces for youth activities and Elder gatherings
- •Address root causes through prevention and support community-led safety initiatives
Clear Minds — Financial Strength & Transparency
Open reporting, strong oversight of Nation-owned businesses, and long-term financial discipline. Managing resources with accountability the people can trust.
Together — Accountable Leadership & Unity
Leadership that listens to Elders, communicates openly, and remains accountable to the people. Moving forward together through respect, kinship, and shared direction.
Called to Serve
Community members, Elders, and families have called on Reg to step forward and offer his name for Chief. This decision was not made alone — it came from the people and reflects a shared desire for leadership grounded in integrity, accountability, and service.
With deep respect, humility, and commitment, Reg offers his name to serve as Chief. His purpose has always been to listen to the people, honour our ancestors, and help build a strong, united future for our Nation.
