June 2005 - Both Submitted Designs Rejected

The Executive Board at its last meeting formally rejected the two previously submitted designs for the new longhouse. Both submitted designs adhered to the traditional aspects of the original longhouse, however the executive board felt that they did not represent the vision going forward as a year round ceremonial and training facility that could be used and cherished by all who come to experience Camp Pigott.
