Draft Report: Currently being circulated for Tribal leader and health director review and comment. Please provide comments by October 30, 2012 to Liz Heintzman at the National Indian Health Board at EHeintzman@nihb.org. Dedication This CMS American Indian and Alaska Native Strategic Plan is dedicated to three colleagues whose contributions made the Tribal Technical Advisory Group (TTAG) stronger and more effective. Robert Dean Moore, Rosebud Sioux (1963 - 2010) Tribal Council member for the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Robert Moore was the Aberdeen Area representative to the TTAG. Earlier in his career, as the Indian Affairs staff member for former US Senator Tom Daschle, Robert raised awareness of health disparities and the need for long-term care for Tribal elders. He was a friend and warrior for all throughout Indian communities. Kristine Anne Locke (1950 - 2012) Technical Advisor to the Tribal Self Governance Advisory Committee (TSGAC) representative on the TTAG, Kris Locke brought technical expertise, wisdom and experience to the process of defining values and core principles, fostering team work among all participants, and providing technical and program support for TTAG subcommittees. She worked tirelessly on behalf of Tribes and American Indian and Alaska Native people. Elmer Brewster, MSW, MPH, Paiute (1949 - 2012) A friend to all who knew him, Elmer Brewster was engaged with the TTAG from its beginning, shared data and information about the costs of Indian health care, advocated for payment systems that were inclusive, and represented the Indian Health Service and the Indian health system honorably. 2
