   Without losing sight of the impact the Shakopee have had on the local economy, infrastructure and charitable organizations, Lori Crowchild, the Shakopee secretary-treasurer, noted the tribe's primary responsibility is to its members. "With that in mind," she said, "we've been able to develop a whole series of health and social service programs."
   
   One of the more beneficial, she said, is the tribe's health insurance plan: "We're self-insured and we work with Blue Cross and Blue Shield for administration of the plan. Our community members are able to maintain their relationships with their chosen doctors and they can see any provider that they want to see for health care. We have a nurse practitioner on staff here who sees patients and who can do assessment and treatment and refer them if necessary. We also have a dental clinic on site, and operated by a Native American dentist, that was started in the early '80s. We have a variety of social service and mental health types of programming. We have counselors who work around areas of substance abuse on an individual and group basis."

   One program close to the hearts of Crowchild and Crooks is a Dakota language program in operation at the reservation.
