Portabello, porcini, wood ear, shiitake, cubensis, oyster, enoki, chantarelle. They're so good!

It just never happened tbh
Not like there was a campaign for this either as a good chunk of the folks I know on the rez are a bit apathetic to the tribal government (that changed a bit with covid of course). Would not surprise me if this is the first time some have heard of the role, though I'm sure folks were made aware when the last speaker got into a scandal. Nice that this has happened and it's great to see more of the younger gens take note on the tribal government and hopefully reform it for the better.

That’s Crystalyne. She’s the daughter of my great-grandmother’s sister. (Thanks for that confusing fact, Mom)

And she automatically becomes the speaker. Reverse gerudo.

This woman has learned to speak for the house. She is our Lorax.

It’s really telling of the US’s track record with First Nationa people that that’s the first conclusion a lot of us leapt to.

Counterpoint.
Navaho Nations Council Elect First Female Speaker
Clear, concise, and shorter than the current title.
