Since there has been no evidence of articles that I approved for NATIVE-L
or any of the other NativeNet lists since Friday as of nearly 9AM EST, I
am going to approve some articles now, which should arrive shortly after
this one. I am given to believe that the approved articles are in a queue
in Texas that is in the process of being freed. I do have copies of all
of those articles and could re-transmit them if necessary. I'll give it a
few more days, though, since I don't want the deluge I mentioned yesterday
to be a double-deluge, if you know what I mean.

There was one announcement about an important event at Harvard University
tonight, for those of you in the Boston/Cambridge area. It is being spon-
sored by the Native American Studies Program at Harvard. If anyone is
interested in that event, here's the basic info:

| Thursday, 18 January, 7-9pm
| Austin Hall West, Harvard Law School, 1515 Mass Avenue, Cambridge
| (a short walk from the Harvard T stop)
|
| The World's Indigenous Peoples' Movement 1996: What have we accomplished?
| Where are we going?
|
| For more information call 617-495-4923.

I plan to attend this event myself. If anyone plans to attend and wants
to meet up there, please drop me a note or give me a call at 617-776-0121.

Thanks to those folks who received my article on the "NativeNet slowdown"
yesterday evening and who wrote expressing their understanding and support.
Again, I may not be able to respond to everyone who writes at length, but
I want you to know that I do read everything I receive and I consider it
as carefully as possible (I've gotten some good suggestions, and plan to
tell you all about them in a forthcoming article).

Well, I have lots to do to catch up after the latest machine failure. I
may just replace the power supply for the disk drives, which are housed
in a separate box from my computer itself, since I think it's the most
likely source of the problem, even though it's under a year old.

That's all for now.
