The Cherokee Nation is training first responders on how to handle patients involved in a terrorist attack.

It's part of a three-day training exercise. And it gives tribal EMS agencies a hands-on approach. The trainees are given a scenario in which they have to treat the patient.

The patients are $200,000 mannequins. They breathe and blink. And they die, if the EMT doesn't treat it correctly.
