The Sault News
As of March 19, Whitney Gravelle is leading an all-women exeuctive council in the Bay Mills Indian Community.
“(When I first found out that I was to become chairperson, I was) shocked, excited, grateful, humbled, and honored,” said Gravelle. “I thought of my grandparents, especially my grandma who I lost just a few weeks before I ran for president, then I thought of all my ancestors that helped lead me to this moment in my life. I found out the results at 10:57 a.m., and then had to run upstairs for a meeting at 11 a.m. There wasn’t much time to celebrate, but I knew the real work was just beginning.”
