The Sappony have about 850 Tribal members who all descend from the seven main families or clans, each with unique but related histories that have enriched our community. One person from each of the seven families serves as a representative on our Tribal Council. The seven feathers found on our Tribal Insignia represent the seven families of the Sappony.

An elected Tribal Chair and Tribal Chief lead the Council and an executive director carries out the directives and goals of the Council along with the Tribal treasurer and secretary. Committees are used to address specific community concerns and priorities such as access to education, economic development and organizing important Tribal events.

Our mission, stated above, is reflected in our current programs and used when considering any new initiatives.
