[RTC List] Tri-County Independent Living & computers

[Dwight Winegar]

When I read this I'm wondering if the various local Tribal Offices  
have been contacted as well.  I know of a couple that were trying to  
create a 501c3 called "Salient Endeavors" to address the unmet needs  
of computers for "No (Local) Indian Child Left Behind."    In recent  
informal discussions amongst some of my fellow board members of a few  
organizations I belong to, plus fellow Apple Consultants, we are also  
just beginning to discuss the idea of the small laptop computers that  
are being sent to Africa, to also perhaps serve the needs of some of  
our local Native American children - such as in some parts of the  
Yurok and Hoopa Reservations there is not even electricity, and one  
school house that runs on a generator.
