Your observations on the lack of attention paid to the contributions of American Indians is so on the mark! After the gathering, do you think we might plan something in which we can all participate for the web site in November. Of course, you might be able to come up with something for all year long. Perhaps a page featuring a different person each month - someone like CrazyHorse from history, a contemporary Native American writer or artist. Oklahoma and New Mexico abound with wonderful American Indian artists. Just a thought to kick around.
