Thanks Maggie,
I am DEFINITELY searching outside of Michigan. I love it here as well but there just aren't any jobs here in general let alone in the museum field :( I have applied to several here but all were dead ends. Ideally, I would like to find myself in the Southwest, specifically in Arizona or New Mexico, but I am not picky at all. I am using all of my contacts presently and applying to anything tangentially related. 

I like your consultation idea; how would one go about asking an institution if they needed help? Would starting with the institutions with unfulfilled  NICs on the NAGPRA site in the area help?
