Jim is running off to a big meeting and asked me to forward Michelle Cheung's letter to PEN-L. I don't think he'd mind if I also forwarded this: ----- Also, Chronicle of Higher Ed is getting on this--reporter contacted me aqnd I sent everything. Please thank Doug. Bear Chief just called me and Hasart misunderstood an e-mail and inquired if I was using College resources to set up paid employment to teach on the Reservation--more attempted cherrypicking. He is writing her back as I write this. Thanks. Now I'm offf to a meeting with the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (Yakima, Umatilla, Nex Perce and Warm Springs Nations). Apparently the College want's an Indian on staff for "celebration-of-diversity" purposes but the Indian isn't supposed to live/act like a real one. Thanks, Jim ----- One other thing I'd mention. Jim has an article in the Winter '98 Dark Night Field Notes on the Makah controversy. It is a reply to Sea Shepherd's leader Paul Watson titled "Ecoimperialism: Real Whales, Real People". Dark Night is a peer-reviewed journal that includes Ward Churchill on the editorial board. Contact Dark Night, Box 3629, Chicago, Ill. 60690-3629 for subscription information.
