“On behalf of the entire MLC team, congratulations to Chairperson Stuck on this prestigious honor. I’ve had the privilege of working with him for years and have witnessed the work he does for his Tribe. This recognition is well deserved for a person who tirelessly advocates for not only his Tribe but also on behalf of all Indigenous people for the betterment of their communities,” said MLC partner Brendan Ringlever.
