First, we have formed a women's support group. This group meets each Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. at the Tribal Office. I have identified three areas that our tribal women may have concerns with: marital, personal and parenting. I will be showing videos and film strips on these subjects, have people come and speak to the group, and we will be visiting other women's support groups. If you are interested in building self-esteem and a more positive image for yourself and family, I urge you to come to our women's support group meeting. I'm sure these sessions can assist you in building a better life. EASTER The women's support group has planned an Easter activity for our tribal youth. If you would like to help with this Easter activity, please call 879-5211. The Easter activity will be held Saturday, April 2, 1988 at the Tribal Office.
