Dear Ms. Mann-Klager:

I do not know where to begin to thank you for all you have done for the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. You have been indispensable in providing us with expertise necessary for us to proceed with numerous Natural Resources projects on our reservation such as endangered species, Agricultural Resource Management Plan, Climate Change Adaptation, Range Survey Projects, and many others. You proved to be vital in the partnership between the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Hard work cannot go unnoticed. It is commitment like yours that makes a difference in a meaningful way and reflects the spirit of you as a devoted individual.

We wish you a happy retirement.

Sincerely,



Kathleen Wooden Knife, President
