Vig served as the Vice Chairman from January 2012 until August 2012.[1] He became the Chairman of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community following the death of Chairman Stanley Crooks, on August 25, 2012.[1][2] The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community is the most influential Native American tribe in Minnesota [1] and the single-largest benefactor for Indian Country nationally[3]. Vig was the youngest of his family's nine children.[1] His grandmother, Minnie Otherday, was a descendent of John Otherday, who saved many settlers and U.S. government employees during the Dakota War of 1862.[2] Vig was raised in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.[2] He moved to the region around Prior Lake in 1969 when his parents became some of the founders of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.[2] His father died from cancer when he was nine years old.[1] He began a career in construction, specifically masonry, once he graduated from high school.[1] Vig married his wife, Donna Vig, a social worker, in 1981; they have five children - four sons and one daughter.[2] Vig first worked for the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in 1992 as a project manager for the tribe's new Mystic Lake Casino, where he oversaw just three employees at the time.[1] He became Vice President at the casino within just three years and supervised more than 800 casino employees.[1] He served on the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux's board of gambling directors for seven terms.[1] The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community now employs 4,100 people, making the tribe the largest employer in Scott County, Minnesota.[4] Charlie Vig was elected Vice Chairman of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in January 2012.[1] He succeeded outgoing Vice Chairman Glynn Crooks, who had served in the office for the prior sixteen years.[1] Chairman Stanley Crooks died in office of a respiratory and lung ailment on August 25, 2012.[1] According to Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux, the vice chairman becomes chairman in the instance of a death, so Vig became chairman.[1][5] The tribe's treasurer and secretary, Keith B. Anderson, became the new Vice Chairman.[5] Vig noted that Crooks' death was a shock, but not entirely unexpected, "The chairman's health had been failing for a while, and this wasn't totally unexpected...One of the reasons I stepped up is because most of the people knew the chairman might not make it to his next term. They had the confidence in me to follow through.[1] As chairman for the remaining three years of Crooks' term, Vig planned to continued Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community's commitment to charitable donations.[1] The SMSC has donated nearly $272 million to organizations and causes between 1992 and 2013, including more than $29 million in 2012.[6] The tribe has donated more than $350 million to organizations and causes, and is one of the largest charitable givers in Minnesota[7]. Outside politics Vig constructed his own campground along Bear Butte Creek, located six miles south of Deadwood, South Dakota.[1] The campground includes six cabins and 3 and a half acres for tents and RVs.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 {{cite news|first=Curt|last=Brown |title=Powerful tribe has new face, Little known outside of Shakopee Mdewakanton, Charlie Vig steps into the limelight to succeed Stanley Crooks.|url=http://www.startribune.com/local/south/168278346.html?refer=y |work=Minneapolis Star Tribune |date=2012-08-02|accessdate=2012-09-18}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Vig, Charlie}}2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|first=|last=|title=About Charlie Vig |url=http://www.startribune.com/local/168278336.html |work=Minneapolis Star Tribune |date=2012-08-01|accessdate=2012-09-18}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=SMSC announces more than $3 million in donations |url=https://www.swnewsmedia.com/prior_lake_american/news/smsc-announces-more-than-million-in-donations/article_10dd038a-5199-58fd-9f14-7136c61ab0af.html |accessdate=February 19, 2019 |publisher=Prior Lake American |date=July 26, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community Celebrates 40 Years as a Federally Recognized Indian Tribe |url=http://www.indiangaming.com/istore/Jan10_40 SMSC.pdf |accessdate=February 19, 2019 |publisher=Indian Gaming |date=January 2009}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|first=|last= |title=Stanley Crooks, Chairman of Minnesota Tribe, Dies |url=http://kaaltv.com/article/stories/S2741508.shtml?cat=10151 |work=KAAL |date=2012-08-26|accessdate=2012-09-18}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.shakopeenews.com/news/general_news/tribe-says-it-donated-more-than-million-last-year-to/article_552abe10-506e-5005-ac6e-ac6ce168cdfa.html|title=Tribe says it donated more than $29 million last year to charitable groups|date=July 16, 2013|work=Shakopee Valley News|publisher=Southwest Newspapers|accessdate=September 12, 2013}} 7. ^{{cite news |title=Shakopee Tribe donates more than $5 million to Indian Country |url=https://www.indianz.com/News/2018/12/05/shakopee-tribe-donates-more-than-5-milli.asp |accessdate=February 19, 2019 |publisher=Indianz |date=December 5, 2018}} 5 : Chairmen of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community|Native American leaders|People from Eden Prairie, Minnesota|Living people|Year of birth missing (living people) |
