St. Regis Tribal Elections First Women On Saturday, June I # 1985, Rosemary Bonaparte and Brenda LaFrance became the first women ever elected to the position of chief and sub chief, respectively. The result of the Tribal Council election was as fol- lows: Chief, three years, Rosemary Bonaparte, 360: Bigtree, 259; Sub- chief, three years; Larry Thompson, 314; Warren Conners, 295; Chief, two years, Julius Herne, 339; Andrew Cook, 269; Sub- chief, two years, Brenda LaFrance, 380; Reginald White, 230 Incumbent Carol Herne, running unopposed for the position of tribal clerk received 516 votes. (Eds. Note: Rosemary Bonaparte and Brenda LaFrance received the most votes in the election, an indication that the St. Regis Mohawk Indians obviously feel that issues, ideas and platforms are more impor- tant than the gender of the candidate. We laud this progressive stance as not so much a feather for women's rights, but as one in further- ing human rights. PWM.) SUN'S Centennial Year v< >!..
