Council meets Gadugi summer students; program runs six weeks through July
Summary
Sean Crittendon presented the Gadugi summer volunteer program and introduced participating students (who identified themselves by name and school); Crittendon said the students are Cherokee Nation citizens and the program runs through July 13.
Sean Crittendon, speaking for the Gadugi (sometimes transcribed as 'Godogee') program, gave the committee his first report under a transition and invited council feedback on presentation preferences. Crittendon offered Gadugi staff and volunteers as a resource to assist with community calls and projects.
Crittendon introduced the summer students one by one; students gave names, hometowns and school plans. Those who spoke included Ashley White, Connor Leach, Miranda Meyer, Autumn (last name not provided in the transcript), Audrey Nicholson, Liam Flores, Rachel Williams, Marquise, Savannah Baker, Dina Martin, Sage, Toby Durden, Elizabeth Wallace, Kevan and Braden West. Crittendon noted the students "are Cherokee Nation citizens," and that the program runs for six weeks and continues through July 13.
Councilors and committee members thanked Crittendon and urged use of student volunteers to assist elders and community projects. Members highlighted the value of students' time and asked council colleagues to meet the volunteers and engage with first‑language speakers where present.
The committee received the introductions; no formal action was taken.
