Tribal Traffic Safety Summit

     FLANDREAU, S.D. (AP) - South Dakota's Native American tribes
will share traffic safety success stories during a summit in
Flandreau Wednesday and Thursday.
     The opening session of the 2nd Annual Tribal Transportation
Safety Summit offers each of South Dakota's nine tribes a chance to
share a transportation safety best practice or success story. The
summit also focuses on traffic safety programs, resources and
assistance available to tribes from various state, federal and
nonprofit agencies and groups.
     Officials say that one goal is to address specific tribal
transportation safety issues and gain a better understanding of the
needs of each South Dakota tribe.
     The first Tribal Transportation Safety Summit was held in Lower
Brule last year.
