Christina Dabney-Keel was born and raised on the reservation.  This mother of one, is a third generation of council woman.  After the passing of her mother, Christina knew that her mother would have wanted her to help the community.  In knowing this, Christina decided to run.  In 2004, Christina was elected to Tribal Council, in January of 2005, she was elected Tribal Secretary by nomination.   

Christina finds the day-to-day operations of being the Tribal Secretary challenging.  The mix of community, government-to-government and social issues are very difficult to find balance.  With this said, Christina has managed to find balance in herself, which in turn enables her to balance the day-to-day operations and maintaining the Tribal community infrastructure.

Prior to joining the Council, Christina was a board member of the Tule River Housing Authority for 6 years.

A Family oriented person, Christina loves to spend time with her son and extended family members.

When time permits, Christina loves to spend time on her Polaris 500 Quad.
