Members of the Siksika Nation are going to the polls on Wednesday to elect a new band council and chief.
Nearly 60 candidates are vying for the 13 jobs and five are in the running for chief.
Dion Red Gun is running for council and says the flood forced the community to pull together and he hopes that attitude continues in the future.
“What I’ve noticed is a change in attitude, people care for one another. And when that flood came, it was a sign, you seen it, I witnessed it. How the people came together forgot about politics and went hand in hand, said Red Gun.
Noran Calf Robe grew up here and says he’d like to see some changes.
“I’d like to see some changes out here, so many shortfalls with education and employment. That’s why, one of the tihings I want to do is run and see if I can make a difference,” said Calf Robe.
Council members will be elected to a three year term.
