When Sadie was President of the Saskatchewan Indian Women's Association, she utilized and paid women Elders and she strongly believed they had a wealth of knowledge they could share with the younger generation. They were life consultants. Today, we see our Provincial First Nations organizations appoint women Senators. She believes women should be more involved at the FSIN political level such as being elected to the Vice-Chief level. She says that men have forgotten the women in politics and women should be equally represented at this level as we enter the new millenium.
Life has to improve.
No longer can women be left at home keeping the fires going and raising the children. Sadie, today, is retired but still serves as a Councillor for the Cote Band. She was one of the first women Councillors to be elected and has served many terms. She has given grassroots and family knowledge resources to her leadership in her terms as Councillor. Sadie is busy and sits on various committees at the Band level.
