VOS VICE PRESIDENT TO CITY COUNCILMAN

Guess who’s tribe has their very OWN sitting on the Nome Common Council?!!!

You got it right, if you haven’t heard, you are hearing it now! Village of Solomon’s Vice President, Cameron Piscoya is officially a City Councilman for the City of Nome. VOS’ V.P. ran against Derek McLarty in the 2022 election for Seat E. Please see below copied/pasted from the City’s Resolution confirming the election results.

The Tribe could not be more proud to have our very own long time leader, representing a tribal voice at the City Council Chambers. A longtime need for the City of Nome, Alaska Common Council. The City of Nome population represents 70% Alaska Native population according to US Census Data. It is about time the displaced tribes residing in Nome have more representation.

Councilman Piscoya joins Councilwoman Sigvanna Meghan Topkok as Alaska Native representation on the Common Council.

Quyanna Councilman Piscoya for joining Councilwoman Topkok!
