Several people have contacted me expressing an interest in working on a
letter-writing effort. Letters would go to the office of the Secretary-
General of the U.N. The new mailing list, called "nn.hopi," will enable
us to draft a letter which we could recommend that people wanting to
support this effort could send, or to develop the outline for such a
letter, at least. If the Hopi elders already have the text of such a
letter prepared, it will be posted in the NATIVE-L (gen.nativenet) list
(conference). Otherwise, we'll prepare one ourselves.
The steps I have taken presently include:
1. setting up the new "nn.hopi" mailing list
2. taking steps to secure a FAX number for the Secretary-General
3. sending out an initial article to those people who have con-
tacted me expressing an interest in working on the effort
I want to get more information about the specifics of what the Hopi elders
would suggest we do in support of their efforts, and to verify that we
proceed only on the basis of authenticated information. If we draft our
own letter, I would like to ensure that it is approved by the Hopi elders,
and has the benefit of any comments or suggestions they would like to make.
Anyone wishing to work on this effort should send a message to the address
"nn-request@gnosys.svle.ma.us" with the text:
subscribe nn.hopi Your Name
(where "Your Name" is your own name). PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ADDRESS IS NOT
THE SAME AS THE LISTSERV ADDRESS FOR NATIVE-L, NAT-1492, NATCHAT, NAT-EDU,
etc.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with me personally.
Thanks.
Gary
