Tribal historians will no doubt look back with fondness at 1981 as a year filled with momentous events.
The most recent such event was the 1981 general election. Ten candidates (winnowed down from 38 hopefuls - 24 official ones and 14 write-ins - thanks to the Tribes' first-ever primary culling, back in October) vied for five 4-year terms up for grabs. When all 960 (approximately) votes were tallied December 12 and 15, three of four incumbents were soundly defeated. (The fifth incumbent, Joe McDonald of Ronan, declined to run.)
The new Tribal Council faces belong to Joe "Joe Dog" Felsrnan, Jim Steele, Al Hewankorn, and Robert McCrea. Only Poison's E.W. Morigeau managed to retain his post.
The most decisive unseating of an incumbent was in St. Ignatius, where Joe Felsrnan easily outdistanced Bearhead Swaney by more than 300 votes. Felsrnan has the added distinction of earning the largest number of votes in a decade's worth of balloting. (Exact totals for everyone are on page two.)
The second biggest upset was in the Arlee district.

Special 'pull-apart' issue...-
This issue of the Char-Koosta was designed to be torn up, so to speak. The inside sheet, featuring the winter schedule of classes for the Salish Kootenai Community
College, can be removed for future reference. Pages 12 and 17 (which aren't numbered. . .) can then be removed, and you'll have a 1982 calendar.
