Lee, although a confirmed lurker, I support several first nations people
by being a link through Internet.  Are there any plans to document the
proceedings electronically or otherwise?  I also represent a small
foundation which wishes to be an outlet and vehicle to accomplish the
purposes of the seminar.  The benefits of this valuable conference would
be multiplied greatly if it's proceedings were recorded and distributed
(even at cost) to those of us not able to attend.

thanks for the consideration,

jeff
