Feb. 5 10 Community Center Tribal Community Center Letters Dear Smoke Signals: I am writing on behalf of my husband, who is a Tribal member. Due to health concerns, his doctor strongly recommended that he move to a cooler climate with better air quality. We are looking to move to the Reservation so he can connect with his heritage. We have been in contact with Housing. However, if anyone in the Grand Meadows Mobile Home area is looking to rent, we would be very interested. You can contact me via e-mail at Pam@lakeisabella.net. Thank you.
