Spoke with Mr. Russell Gates, Tribal President. (701) 854-7165
Anything anyone sends is greatly appreciated. Clothing, blankets, coats,
medical supplies, fuel, food that can be stored. Checks are easier and
faster. If anyone sends a check, make sure that the intention is written
on it... Clothes, Fuel, Blankets, Medical, Food, etc. It will be used
for that intention only. You may also mark it General Fund, and it will
be used for whatever is most pressing.

Assistance is needed throughout the spring as the spring rains and
run-off from the melting snow are going to be disastrous. 4 of 8
communities are devastated right now. They expect it to get worse once
the flooding begins.
