I wanted to let you know that I’ve sent out invitations to seven people to speak
on our panel at the Listening Session (listed below) – and have sent the
attached flyer to all of the tribes in MT. Please feel free to share it with
your lists as well. We also have a Salish elder lined up to begin our session
with a prayer. We will work on letting press know, but will also have our state
press on-site to take pictures.
Thank you both for all of your help in pulling this together! Let me know if you
have any questions.
