There has been some recent discussion in the last two months on the
INDKNOW list on the Human Genome Diversity Project as well. You can get
onto the list by sending the request "subscribe indknow <your name>"
to: listserv@uwavm.u.washington.edu.

You can get past messages by first getting an index. Send an e-mail
message to the address above, with the one-line message "index indknow".
Once you have a list of the files, send another e-mail message with
the one-line requests: "get <filename1>" and "get <filename2>" (don't
include the quotes or brackets). The notes are from December and
January. I will post the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP)
response to a presentation made to them by Henry Greely at the
WCIP 7th International Conference of Indigenous Peoples at
Quetzaltenango, Guatemala in December, 1993.

The Human Genome Diversity Project has also been discussed by the
Rural Advancement Foundation International (RAFI). Look for May, 1993:
Patents, Indigenous Peoples, and Human Genetic Diversity. RAFI

The RAFI paper that Preston cites is the one I was thinking of. Someone
sent me a printed copy of that report recently. It looks quite well done.
