ezs note:  The Wind River Reservation bravely supports us, and we should support them.  To cite just one instance, the average lifespan is just 49, in the range of Chad. There is a need for doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professionals and paraprofessionals.  You should, before going, acknowledge and respect the traditions of the tribe.  Good luck.
