Verna Whitebead Castillo, Treasurer

My parents are the late Reuben and Rhoda Whitebead of Scott, Oklahoma. My grandparents were Frank Whitebead and Lydia Penn, also Esther Coffey Smith and Reed Wilson. I have one son, Michael, also known by "Snoopy." I have two brothers, Matthew and Pete. 

I graduated from Binger High School and attended Haskell Indian Jr. College in Lawrence, KS. I transferred to the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in Chickasha. 

I retired from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 2015, where I had worked with the CFR Court, Human Resources and IIM Accounts. Previously I worked for 15 years with the BIA Law Enforcement. Currently, I work for the Caddo Nation Division of Housing. I've been with Housing for five years. 

I am honored to serve on the current Tribal Council and to do the hard work before us of making our tribe strong again and bringing our people back together. I believe in the ability of this administration to do just that. I am happy to hear from our tribal members, their expectations and ideas.
