Revamping the main streets with landscaping through the Reservation towns.
Hosting movie theaters at the local community centers.
Entreprenurial opportunities with assistance.

Please come contribute your ideas and later your elbow grease.

The Vision Launch was held on September 27th at the Plummer Community Center. Forty-five community members discussed the issues and concerns which came out of the Visioning Rally. These included a lack of support for educaiton, a lack of investment in the future of the community, a lack of community pride, a non-inclusive environment, a lack of connection between the communities, youth issues and concerns for young people, Tribal and local governments not working together, a lack of future for the children in the community, a division within the community, and a lack of relationships between people.

Four Action Teams were formed to work on issues so that the vision can become reality.
