Tina Cardinal is a dedicated councillor at Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation, with a rich heritage and a profound commitment to her community. She is the granddaughter of John & Sophie (Potts) Cardinal and Adam & Helen (Alexis) Letendre, and the daughter of Phillip & Doris (Letendre) Cardinal.
With over 15 years of experience working in the Social Development Department, Tina has played a pivotal role in creating and implementing programs that focus on youth empowerment and community development. Her extensive experience in this field was complemented by her academic achievements, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and a Certificate in Business Management. These qualifications have equipped her with the skills to manage and develop projects effectively, including the financial expertise necessary for successful project execution.
In memory of her mother, who served as a dedicated Director for over 40 years, Tina spearheaded the creation of a memorial garden outside the Social Development Income Support Office. This project stands as a testament to her commitment to honoring her mother’s legacy and improving the community’s well-being.
Raised by parents who were passionate about bettering the lives of their people, Tina continues to follow in their footsteps, particularly those of her mother, a devoted social worker. Although she humbly acknowledges that she cannot fill her mother’s shoes, Tina strives to match her dedication and commitment to the community. Her work is driven by the same spirit of service and the desire to create a better future for the Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation.
