We don't have an official band yet to represent us, so we haven't had that election. Within the non-status bands, there are some women who are chiefs. Man, woman, child, elder, if their heart is pure and they have the best interests of the people in mind and they talk to the grassroots, then they will be a good leader. Being a woman or a man is just one of the categories, not necessarily the most important one. It's if they fit the other categories that matters. That's my personal belief.
