sincerely try to help another without helping himself…<br />

Main Office<br />

REALTY............................................................................................................. 842-5257<br />

Helping tribal members get title to their land and help in managing their property is the<br />

foundation of the Realty Program’s work. Realty staff can help with trespass cases,<br />

gravel sales, partitions, easements and subdivisions. Landowners are urged to take<br />

advantage of another important Realty service, help in the writing of wills, to avoid<br />

inheritance disputes among heirs and family members.<br />

VPSO Program ................................................................................................. 842-5257<br />

Village Public Safety Officers provide law enforcement of misdemeanor crimes in rural<br />

villages, and can serve legal orders, such as restraining orders. The VPSO’s primary<br />

responsibility is to ensure safety, for example, coordinating search and rescue or<br />

responding to immediate danger situations. Village Public Safety Officers can provide<br />

community presentations about safety, for example, water safety.<br />

There is a fantasy abroad. Simply stated, it goes like this: “If we can resolve<br />

our conflicts, then someday we will be able to live together in community.”<br />

Could it be that we have it totally backward? And that the real dream should<br />

be: “If we can live together in community, then someday we will be able to<br />

resolve our conflicts”?<br />
