The Red Lake Nation has a new Hereditary Chief.

At Tuesday’s regular Red Lake Tribal Council meeting, the Hereditary Chiefs unanimously recommended Percy L. Spears to the Red Lake Tribal Council Members as their selection for the vacant Red Lake Hereditary Chief seat of the late Chief Greetings Spears Jr., who died on October 3rd.

The Tribal Council voted 10-0 in favor of Percy Spears as the new Hereditary Chief, and he was immediately sworn in.

Chief Percy Spears was honored with a couple songs and was seated with the other chiefs and the Tribal Council during the regular session today.
