CORRECTION In the June 21, 2018, issue of the Kalihwisaks the article titled “Special General Tribal Council meeting convened” incorrectly re- fers to the tabled Employment Law agenda item as having been brought forward by Madelyn Genskow during the June 18 GTC meeting. This agenda item was tabled by Ms. Genskow in a pre- vious meeting and was not her item. The Kalihwisaks apologizes for the error.
