Cheyenne & Arapaho Governor

Press Release

Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes
Concho, Oklahoma

Subject: Governor Flyingman’s Health Recovering

On Sunday afternoon, January 13th, Governor Darrell Flyingman suffered a mild heart attack while working on his farm in Fort Cobb. The Governor was taken to the OU Medical Center by air ambulance. He underwent routine angioplasty and is now recovering. There were no complications.

Doctors responsible for his care have commented that he’s doing well, and that they expect a full and quick recovery.

Governor Flyingman was overwhelmed by the warm response from Tribal Members, as well as from the many visits by other area Tribal leaders. Due to the overwhelming response by so many visitors, it was necessary for the medical staff to restrict visitation to permit Governor’s rest.

The Governor’s wife and close family have joined him and seek to provide a supportive environment during his recovery, which is expected to last the remainder of this week. The family appreciates the tremendous response from the Tribes’ membership, and from Indian Country. The family states they will be happy to answer inquiries regarding Governor’s condition and appreciate everyone’s concern in his recovery.

Governor Flyingman is the first elected Governor of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. He was also recently elected Regional Area Vice President for the Southern Plains Region of the National Congress of American Indians at the organization’s 64th Congress, held in Denver.

Economic Development and Art

Recently I found that in Indian Country most Gaming Tribes are getting on board and really making a difference in the Tribal economics for the betterment of all Tribal members. I ask if that is important to you how do you as an individual benefit from such enterprises that your Tribe maybe entering into contracts with or buying businesses to operate to futher the revenues of the Tribe.
As a small business owner of www.agalleryofnations.com I have worked hard and learned alot by trial and error and can always use help in promoting my business,tell your friends,visit the website,got questions ask me info@agalleryofnations.com
When all Tribes see that working and networking with each other all Indians benefit. Small businesses can grow and become a positive force within the Indian communities helping hands not a handout is needed. Buy Indian,Promote Native Artists, Educate our Youth,respect our Elders,Retain our Cultural ways,Support New Native businesses.
