While Minnesota’s primary election was yesterday, some tribal elections are already in the books, and Red Lake Nation’s runoff election swearing-in ceremony was held Tuesday at the regular Tribal Council meeting.

Allen D. Pemberton, who was re-elected Redby Representative, was sworn in and recited his seventh oath of office, while Thomas Barrett, the newly elected Little Rock Representative, was sworn in for his first term.
