SELF-DETERMINATION, TURNING THE DESERT INTO A TRIBAL VILLAGE OASIS.
The Trubian Village Choctaw Tribal Organization Operations Manual
Article I: Leadership and Governance
1. There shall be a Chief Yakaba, who serves as the head of the Trubian Village Choctaw Tribal Organization, symbolizing our unity and shared vision.
2. Under the leadership of the Chief Yakaba, there exists a Chief Governing Administration Council, which functions as an extension of the Chief Yakaba's authority. This council plays a vital role in assisting the Chief Yakaba in decision-making and ensuring the efficient operation of our tribal organization.
3. The Trubian Village Choctaw Congress is a central institution within our tribal governance structure. It is responsible for crafting and implementing tribal policies, operating within the framework and guidelines established in the Trubian Village Choctaw Constitution.
Article II: Truma and Community Building
1. The Trubian Village Choctaw traces its origins to 144 families, who were organized into four tribal groups, each consisting of 36 families. These groups are referred to as "Truma."
2. Within the framework of Truma, each family contributes $750 per month towards a tribal land lot. This financial commitment collectively creates a monthly budget of $750 x 36 = $27,000 for each Truma. These funds are dedicated to acquiring land and developing self-sustaining tribal community townships.
Article III: District Chiefs and Truma Councils
1. The Chief Yakaba appoints four individuals known as "Yakuba's" to serve as District Chiefs. Each District Chief presides over one of the four tribal groups, known as Truma.
2. The term "Truma" is not merely a name; it embodies the essence of community and council. It derives from the concept of "Household Heads" or "House of House Chiefs," emphasizing the importance of collective decision-making and unity within our tribal structure. Through these leadership roles and community-driven initiatives, we, the Trubian Village Choctaw, aim to uphold our values, traditions, and vision for a thriving and culturally vibrant tribal community. Together, we shall work towards a brighter future, honoring our past while embracing the opportunities of the present and the promise of the future
