Several Oklahoma tribes have sent their fire crews to Texas to help find debris from the space shuttle Columbia, which disintegrated upon re-entry to Earth last Saturday.

The Cherokee Firedancers, the Pawnee Fire Scouts, the Iowa Tribe and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation sent teams to help out. Members of the Cherokee, Caddo, Comanche, Cheyenne- Arapaho, Iowa, Sac & Fox, Kiowa and Creek tribes are represented.
