Received the large packet yesterday- great timing as I was on the Blackfoot Reservation 2 days ago and was able to buy Indian- made art at the Museum of the Plains Indians.
Packet contained a Dreamcatcher which was Made In China! How does that help a Native Economy?

I am in my 80's and my wife is disabled. I doubt then that we will ever be able to visit your school. However, we were teachers: she on the primary level and I on the high school and college. What we have seen in your mailings and on your web site shows that you have established a a good foundation for their world--especially, in their culture and language. If you wish to destroy peoples, forbid their languages and ways. That was done to the American Indians and also to the Irish and Scots et al. Yet, people's ways and customs expressed through their languages are the source of who they were and still are. As Pope John Paul II warned we should not rush to assimilate others but to help them adapt so that the multicultural reality of God's Church can be seen. That said there is also the need for them to be able to advance in our rapidly evolving technical world. We, they, can never stop learning.

I am very suspicious of the few positive comments about this facility. After so many negative comments the positive ones just do not seem real. I would imagine that it is the staff or Board of Directors person making the comments in hopes of defusing some of the negative aura of the whole place.

I will not give to an organization that will not remove you after repeated attempts to be removed. They seem to be a "Mill" running rampant and flooding any possible market in hopes of getting some cash. Well, not from me.
