Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico has received $11 million in long-awaited emergency funds.

The Los Conchas Fire burned 16,000 acres of the reservation a year ago. Since then, there's been two floods, leaving the tribe in constant danger of more damage.

The tribe has estimated recovery costs of at least $29 million.
