That she recognizes the responsibility with the title and is doing something about it speak volumes of her adoptive parents.
I agree. Neat people.
Cool story.
I agree; her adoptive parents must be wise and good people. This situation could be a godsend for her tribe, if she really does shoulder the responsibility and continue to work for them. (And raising money IS important; how is she supposed to fix their schools, infrastructure, etc. without it?) Good on her!
