Thank You, Relatives

I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported me, encouraged me, prayed for me, and stood with me throughout this campaign.

To our Elders, families, youth, volunteers, and community members who took the time to listen, share, and offer kind words, I am deeply grateful.

This campaign was always about more than one person. It was about unity, accountability, and building a stronger future for the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation.

As we move forward, may we continue to care for one another, listen to one another, and work together for the good of our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come.

Hearts and Minds Together, Moving Forward.

Ishnish,

Hûgakebi Reg Cardinal

Four Priorities for Our Future

Priorities for our Nation

01

Strong Hearts — Healthy People

Support wellness, recovery, culture, and families. Invest in mental health, traditional healing, and programs that strengthen our people from within.

02

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
03

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.

04

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.

Honoured to Serve

Community members, Elders, and families called on Chief Reg to step forward and serve. This was not a decision 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, Chief Reg serves the Nation. His purpose has always been to listen to the people, honour our ancestors, and help build a strong, united future for our Nation.
