The Health Educator, Thelma Selwyn, has a very limited budget that is small compared to the amount of Health information that is really needed to educate the members of our Tribe on the many issues that need to be disseminated out. She has attended many workshops on Tobacco, Meth, Cancer Summits, Teen Pregnancy, Alcohol, Aids, and many other related Health forums. Through visiting local Schools, and with the Local Health Fairs, Pow-wows, and sponsoring Walks, she has promoted the wellness that we need to seek.

The Youth Outreach Coordinator, Mabel Eagle Hunter, works with the children and evaluates and makes assessments, recommends placement, transports when needed.
