History of Working Together for a Safer Tomorrow:
In 2006, Elizabeth City State University was awarded a $5,000 grant to develop and
implement a pilot program designed to bring together populations residing on federal
Indian trust lands and neighboring non-Indian communities. The Oneida Tribe of Indians
of Wisconsin served as co-hosts for the first Intertribal Risk Analysis Symposium.
In 2007, the program was relocated to Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence,
Kansas, and a three-year grant was awarded to the Haskell Foundation to continue the
work developed during the pilot period. |
