• We are a small Indian Nation. We dont have the
  experts that the state, regions, and counties
  have.
• We cant put out huge forest fires or clean up a
  big hazmat spill, but we can save lives. We can
  save property and we can help keep the
  environment safe and protected.
• We do have
• The will to survive
• The desire to do the best that we can
• The stamina to keep on going
• The ability to do something, even just one thing
  about disaster preparedness. It may mean to seek
  out those who can help the experts, the
  partners many are in this room.
• And, finally, when we have made the right path we
  have the love to take everyone around us with us.
