Please excuse possible duplication of information in this post, but I haven't
seen it mentioned in the NativeNet groups I belong to, so thought I'd send
it in. I got this information on a mailing from Lake Superior State
University, which hosts a bi-annual conference on Native American Values. If
you have questions about it, please contact the person listed below, not
me--I'm just passing on the information:
