 Again, like I told Dennis. It's the "dreamcatcher" part that gets me. BTW,
 the very next day I received _another_ one from a _different_ school in
 South Dakota. (Run by "Father" somebody or other.) This one had some pretty
 little floral note cards (like blank all-purpose greeting cards sans NA
 motif) and wanted me to send money to pay for them.
 I suspect that perhaps the National Museum of the American Indian or the
 Native Peoples magazine may be selling their member/subscriber lists. But...
 I have no way of knowing fer sure.
 
 The other irony of it all is that the solicitations come right during the 
 big controversy over the embezzlement of $2.6 million dollars of Lakota
 Tribal education funds. ($2.6 million would have bought a lot of little
 note cards and dream catchers.)
