Voters elect 2 young leaders to top spots in Gwich'in Tribal Council

Two young leaders are now at the helm of the Gwich'in Tribal Council, after voters opted for change during Monday's election.

Bobbie Jo Greenland-Morgan, 39, was elected the new president of the council — the first woman to ever hold the position. She also took the win by a wide margin and against two seasoned leaders.

"It just means a great deal to me, not only to be elected, but to know that I'm the first female elected president," she said in an interview this week.
