We wanted our tribal members to get post-secondary education and just somewhat be able to provide for their families. And the tribe wanted to give that encouragement. And so far, if you took the total of ourtribal membership, we went from, I want to say, pretty close to 1%. We're now at pretty close to 6% of 13,000 tribal members attending post-secondary, which is great. But right now we are trying to figure out how we can help the barriers, starting from early childhood into high school. What are the barriers? How can we get them to stay in school, go to school, and hopefully that will help the rates a little bit more.
