The Chief's Facebook Page

Of course Michell Hicks isn't the only Principal Chief candidate who has a Facebook page. Juanita Wilson also has one. He is however the only candidate who has the control of the media in Cherokee to the degree that he does, which puts the others at a disadvantage. Patrick Lambert won't be getting all the happy stories in the One Feather about his accomplishments, nor will Wilson. But Chief Hicks enjoys all the happy fluffy propaganda pieces at his disposal through that paper, particularly now that an editor with no journalism background has been hired who likely won't question anything that could pose a conflict of interest.
Most of the "accomplishments" listed are those published in media that he controls. Also interesting to note, the number of non-tribal members who think Michell Hicks is wonderful. That goes for the non Indian media as well (Two executive editors for the Asheville Citizen-Times have told me that they were very impressed with Hicks.).
What really matters in the end is what the tribal members think. From what I'm hearing from tribal members, Michell Hicks is wasting his time and money running for reelection.
