Associated Press article on Asthma in Puerto Rico

I am curious what other Tribes are doing to address asthma in their communities. We recently had a Health Fair of sort with our General Tribal Meeting. There was a table set up with information about Indoor air pollutants and hand outs addressing some of these issues. As a Tribe without a reservation this sometimes makes it difficult to reach Tribal members. The Cowlitz Indian Tribe is one of the few Tribes that does not have a reservation and with the latest census not being available yet the numbers are somewhat scurried.
