National Travel. Local Questions.

Chaisson has appeared at national conferences, federal meetings, and out-of-state events. The issue is not travel by itself. The issue is transparency: who paid, what did it cost, what was the funding source, and what did UHN citizens get back?

UHN citizens deserve a clear accounting of which Chief Chaisson trips were paid by UHN, which were paid by outside organizations, which were paid personally, and what concrete results came back to the Nation.

Travel is not the issue. Secrecy is.

  • Was it UHN, NCAI, DOL, AIANTA, Tribal Solutions Group, another sponsor, or personal funds?
  • What was the total cost?
  • What official report was provided afterward?
  • What concrete result came back to UHN citizens?
  • Why are the full records still not posted?
