The Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians, also referred to as the Gun Lake Tribe, received Federal recognition on August 23, 1999. The Tribe’s Constitution was adopted in 2000 and continues to guide the Tribal Government. The seven-member, popularly-elected Tribal Council has authority over all affairs of the Tribe and its subsidiaries. The Tribal Council, through the Tribal Treasurer, is responsible for administering and monitoring the fiscal matters of the Gun Lake Tribe. The Finance Committee is a standing committee of the Tribal Council, established pursuant to section 4(a)(3) of the Tribal Constitution and is chaired by the Tribal Treasurer. The Finance Committee is responsible for, among other things, the establishment of investment policies, the monitoring of investment performance and ensuring compliance with policy.

We, the members of Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, will maintain our elders’ vision, integrity, spirituality, culture and economic self-sufficiency by protecting our sovereignty, treaty rights, traditions, land and natural resources for our future generations.

The Gun Lake Tribe is seeking an independent advisor(s) with demonstrated institutional investment consulting experience to assist the Finance Committee in evaluating our current investment condition, identifying long-term financial objectives, and developing a strategy to achieve our financial goals. The selected advisor(s) will be responsible for implementation and ongoing management of a comprehensive and coordinated investment program.
