Vets Stipend Remains In Flux

By James Walling

The Fort Peck Tribal Executive Board voted on July 27 to approve approximately 60 tribally enrolled veterans for a one-time stipend of $500, opening up the offer of a stipend to all qualified tribal members.

Council Member Jestin Dupree told this newspaper that interest in the stipend took shape when the board passed a $500 donation for U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Catlin Tanner Eagleman during the July 13 meeting with little discussion about the ramifi cations of the move. According to Dupree, no limit to the list of possible applicants has been voted on and no official deadline has been released.

Stipends are currently open to all Fort Peck Tribal Members who served in the armed forces. There are no official forms for applying. Local applicants can submit their DD-214 to Fort Peck Veterans Affairs at the Fort Peck Tribal Building in Poplar.

Off reservation applicants can email program head Medicine Bear Lone Warrior and staff at medicinebear. lonewarrior@fortpecktrbes.net.

You can also call 406768-2354 or 406-768-2445 for more information.
