Please crosspost and forward, but keep message in it's entirety, there is
important info in my message below. Thank you!

I wanted to pass this information along to you all, if you know anyone that
can use their assistance, please forward this email to them. You can contact
these folks directly at the emails they have provided below.

This is a fantastic opportunity for assistance in home building on the rez!
For the folks that are here in South Dakota, you can contact you local
Forest Service office to inquire about getting a log permit. There are about
11 different areas in the Black Hills that are open for log collection. They
are already cut and stacked in these designated areas, all you have to do is
get your permit (which is free, they also have another permit that is
$20.00) and pick them up. I spoke with the F.S. District Manager in Custer
last fall and I know they were working with the Tribal Offices with this
program, the rez's could get as much as they needed, there is no limit. I
have been to many of these areas and the stacks are huge! Its mostly pine.
For other folks out of the area, you may also want to check with your local
F.S. offices, they may offer the same program.

Anyway, please forward this info along to anyone that may be interested, it
sounds like these folks are willing to travel to any of the rez's!

Hope it helps.........

In peace & solidarity,
Tamra
