Attached are the top five preliminary recommendations reported by each of the five facilitated working groups at the Summit. These recommendations represent several hours of discussion, thought and work by those Tribal representative present at the Summit. The proposals are intended to complement existing efforts by Tribal Nations to help their communities effectively address drug and alcohol issues.

Not all Nations were represented at the Summit. Not all decision makers within Nations were able to join their colleagues on August 1. For this reason, Tribal Nations will work with NAMSDL to establish a review process to ensure that all Nations and their decision makers have an opportunity to refine, enhance and add to the preliminary recommendations which their colleagues crafted at the Summit.  NAMSDL will make available through its website any such future refinements, enhancements or additions.
