Modernizing the Constitution
In 1938 the Caddo Nation was given a constitution we chose to accept, in order to survive. Now, we have the opportunity to collectively create a constitution that we choose, a government we choose, that meets and incorporates our culture,...a constitution that will help us thrive.
Caddo tribal member, Todd Goodman, will be leading an effort to modernize the Caddo Nation constitution. He will be gathering input from Caddo tribal members in an effort to create a constitution and government to meet contemporary needs for the Caddo people. This will include public meetings with our tribal members over a 12 month period, town hall style meetings, listening circles, mail outs, online surveys, analysis of data and a final report of the data and preliminary conslusions.
