Is it duplicatable with the founders approval?

Is duplicating it even a good idea?

Duplication (or an effective version thereof) might be a beneficial free sourcing .

Is it an internal private matter?
Where do indigenous draw the line to others arriving on reservation ground and investigating?
Federal authority and federal resources get to be intertwined pretty quick.
My worth a single coffee opinion is that parties from reservations should be accessing resources of research and more through education enough to apply resources shared/made available.

It cost little for a library visit once on site.
Is it available? Is it's (an individual) district able to access further districts material and data?
.
Biology and forensics as studies. But studied where? They are already studied.

None of which is my call.
I'm not entirely ignorant of the topic of the missing.
Or the line between reservation law enforcement and the U.S. federal government and state law enforcement.

Who should be liaisons?
I don't mean head of Indian affairs or a groups elders or a given nations governing folks.
I mean networking across the board to shared resources and data.

Once upon a time tracking meant...tracking.
Still does.
But there's a lot of fluff and delay in todays.
Both are detriments.

Methodology can be nauseating and time consuming when tracking is paused.
Know what I mean?
Delayed data and digesting data in real time are very different.
First reduce delay in the goal of eliminating more delay.

Team needs to be accessible and mobile quick like. Before tracks blur ,erode ,fade. even cool . Or heat.
And beyond that real time team moving slow needs to be eyes on the peripheral.
Hey if you know the area you know where to expect sign or sitings of movement.
Those who run hounds can explain cold trailing and strike dogs and it all relates.
Knowing the terrain helps.
This is why oriented folks need to be involved. That does not mean an outsider can't provide resources. Conflicting technique or knowledge shared in advance would be far better than during.

Such is why I suspect the potential of Ohkomi is so real.
But can a template or attribute gage be dropped elsewhere and have a similar result?
It would need adjusted to fit the new range.
Custom to the terrain. The people. The conditions. The resources.
I say doable. But that's the easy part.

Good questions and you make a lot of good points. It is extremely complicated.

East of Erie was getting a lot of lake effect yesterday.
I'm not seeing the snow slanting that way right now as it did yesterday..
But the wind there could be more varied.

Of course we're getting streams of snow from Lake Michigan here.
But it (the big lake) tempers the cold at times. Depending on amount of ice coverage during winter. Takes a cold winter to get much ice but a lot of ice reduces lake effect. Till it melts.
But it's a lot of water to freeze! More so when the wind is cutting it.

I hate it when selling something and agree to meet at a certain place which you waste your time going to and they change their mind only to let you know hrs later.

Had quite a blizzard when I was in high school.
Took a long week or more for V-plows to punch through.
I and some friends in my first car went to an area known for high incomes and shoveled roofs.
Folks were happy to see us as ice was backing up under their shingles.

That's crazy to think you are happily driving somewhere then next thing your cars getting buried under snow falling. Its gotta cut the life short of vehicles in places like that for sure!

They're big on pouring on the brine & beet juice up here.
Rather have straight salt mixed with sand.
The streets still get that mixture.

Sand is superior when it is much below freezing.

someone once stated they had a crushed corn or something corn related for traction.
No we don't need deer attracted to the roads with crushed corn.
i have watched then frogging road gravel on the edge before while working outside.
I suspected salt after I looked where they were touching.
The green along roads often an attractant too in certain seasons.
 

6 dump truck loads of logs moved today. 3 of saw logs, 3 firewood.
Took some persuasion to get the truck started.

Plugged in the battery charger into the generator, pointed the exhaust in front of the motor.
Vroom!
Moved it to the yard plugged in a rubber heating pad device and laid it across the motor for the night.
Might be a glow plug issue.
Says the 1995 F450 with the 7.3 diesel had block heaters if Canadian.
Nope.

Tractor tires get beet juice now a days.
I have some with chloride that leak out the valves. Gotta park them with valves above the chloride level!
Meaning turn a tire if I slipped/broke traction and it turned out of position near the opposite tires valve position.

I hope we don't get too much ice this winter.
Crushed oyster shells work great for the steps. Spread when wet, it freezes in place. Paw friendly, in the spring the birds take it away.

We've used the oyster shells for 8 yrs now.
Even the paw friendly isn't great for the soils.
