Political activist Chief Wana Dubie notified The Salem News Friday that he will be making a public announcement 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Dent County Courthouse.
“Come and hear some real news at the courthouse for a change,” Wana Dubie told The Salem News via telephone. “I have something to say that will shake up not only Salem but all of Missouri.”
Wana Dubie was guarded as to the details of the announcement, saying only “if you know what’s up, then you’re going to be down for my powwow.”
The speculation around town is Wana Dubie may be once again entering the political arena. A former candidate for the Missouri General Assembly in 2006 and governor in 2010, Wana Dubie has been keeping a low profile as of late. When questioned as to his recent political hiatus, Wana Dubie said he has been getting in touch with nature and ministering at the Church of Wana Dubie.
In 2006, Wana Dubie won 556 total votes during his campaign to be the 150th District’s representative in Jefferson City. The vote total for his 2008 gubernatorial run is not known, as he ran as a write-in candidate. However, Wana Dubie claims his entry into the race is what forced then Governor Matt Blunt to abandon his re-election campaign.
“It was Dubie versus Blunt,” Wana Dubie said. “My doobie was better than his blunt. He couldn’t handle it.”
