I hope this is used wisely and helps these people who have so desperately needed it for years now.

Living on the Coeur d'Alene tribal reservation in Plummer, Idaho for 6 years-you see the need for more housing development. The waiting list to get into a house is long if you have no children. I am not sure if Coeur d'Alene tribal people are going to benifit, but I see where the Kalispels are and they are a pretty wealthy tribe, this is from what I have heard from other natives. I hope all can be helped with this-this is needed!!!!!
