It's time to recognize that Native Americans have many of the same issues and concerns as Anglo-Americans, like Diabetes for example.  That, coupled with new-found wealth from casinos, makes them a force to be respected and reckoned with.

For those of us that can't make it to the Res for events, here are some of the numerous mostly *F*R*E*E* events for the rest of us:

  Native American Recognition Days, Phoenix area (click here)

  Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff area  (click here)

  "All Of Us Together", Tucson area  (click here)
