The heat may be letting up in parts of the western U.S. 

But dozens of wildfires remain a threat for the region. 

At least one town on tribal land in Washington was forced to evacuate. 

The fires are one more challenge for Native American communities that were already struggling to conserve water and preserve hunting grounds.
