subject: Solicitaton

 Did anyone else receive a solicitaion in the mail for a school in
 Manderson, South Dakota called "The Wounded Knee District School"?
 The very nice poignant letter, signed by Hobart Yankton, is a plea to help
 this school.
 The problem I have with this soliciation is that if my donation is for $30
 or more, they will send me an authentic Lakota Sioux dream catcher made on
 the reservation. They enclosed a copy of the old ("Long ago when the world
 was very young...") Lakota Sioux legend of the dream catcher. (At least the
 literature doesn't claim my bad dreams will _really_ go away.)
 
 Does this sound "phony" to anyone else in this echo?
 
 I have no doubt a school on a rez in South Dakota needs help (particualrly
 when school officals _allegedly_ abscond with $2.6 million) but "selling"
 dream catchers????
