February Happenings at the
Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Library/Archives

Marketing Your Business Online

Today, it is more important than ever to have your business show up online. The emerging popularity and convenience of smart phones are replacing home and business telephones everyday. Importantly, people are constantly searching the web especially when traveling. Visitors when driving through a community are looking for places to eat, locating gas stations, car repairs or just finding out what is unique and available for them to see. Phone books are becoming obsolete so it’s important to stop hiding and get online.

All interested local and tribal artisans are encouraged to attend an informational gathering at the CRIT Library on February 7, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. when Mr. Gilford Harper, Computer Technology Specialist and Sarah Harris from the University of Arizona/La Paz Extension Office will jointly discuss how important it is to develop a webpage. A series of classes will be announced at that time. To sign up, please call the number below.

Birds of the Desert Southwest

Come and join a morning presentation on Birds of the Desert Southwest presented by Linda Masters, La Paz County Extension Director at the CRIT Library on February 8, 2012. The time will be from 10:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. Ms. Masters will be sharing a diverse array of her knowledge on local and birds of the southwest. Attendees are encouraged to bring their questions for Ms. Masters to address. Please register at the number below.

New Wave of Drugs- Heroin & Synthetic Drugs Webinar

What is Spice, K2, Salts? We are being told by our relatives and training clients that many Native youth see synthetic drugs as an easy and safe way to get high. Synthetic drugs can actually be very dangerous, recognizing the chemical compounds can have unpredictable effects. The packets are usually labeled "Not for human consumption," and no words could be more true.
Join us Wednesday, February 1st from 10-11 AM MST for this engaging, tuition-free webinar to examine the ongoing trend of synthetic drug abuse and the return of heroin abuse. This webinar will offer prevention resources to help service professionals, parents, and communities.Featured Presenters include:
Walter Lamar (Wichita/Blackfeet), President and CEO of Lamar Associates Steven Juneau (Haida/Blackfeet), Vice-President and Director of Training for Indian Country Training. Register at, e-mail info@lamarassociates.net, or call 202-543-8181.
