The Da’naxda’xw (pronounced Da-NUK-dah) have been ruled for a generation by Bill Glendale, who is described as a “hereditary chief” in a 1987 band resolution signed by 21 members, and his wife, Anne. Both are 83.You divvy up the governmental largesse, that amounts to $535,000.00 for each family member since 2001. Just a little something to consider while you ponder what diverse & wonderful things the government does with 50 percent of your wages.
They and their late son, Fred, have been the only council members since the resolution was passed [26 years ago]. The only other residents on the reserve are the Glendales’ children and grandchildren, numbering 17 in total.
