Temporary Closure of Tribal Public Buildings on August 4, 2025
August 4, 2025

Dear Tribal Members,

Out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our community as our top priority, the Tribal Council made the difficult decision to temporarily close all tribal public facilities on Monday, August 4, 2025.  This action was taken in response to an imminent threat to a few key staff members, and while we understand the inconvenience this may cause, the protection of our people must take priority.

Law enforcement and tribal officials are actively assessing the situation, and we will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available. Essential services, the GTB Clinic, Tribal Police, and ETM services will continue to operate at their physical locations. Other GTB governmental services will be staffed remotely where possible. Emergency contacts remain available for urgent needs. The reference to COVID protocols in the first announcement was to inform the membership that it is necessary to call the clinic for admission into the facility. We did NOT mean that the threat of COVID as a medical condition is present. We regret the misunderstanding this caused.           

We respect the necessity of confidentiality in the tribal police investigatory process, and we will inform you as soon as the investigatory process permits.

Further updates will be shared through official channels, principally GTB Regroup Text Messages and direct communication. Please avoid spreading unverified information and rely only on authorized sources.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Stay safe.
