Sorry for the inconvenience of my typos, but here is another REALLY important omission (because it changes the meeting dramatically).I have inserted the missing word IN ALL CAPS which is in Parting Words: Part Three, #3 :

Recently I've noticed two items in the news that I will share before ending. One was Attorney General Janet Reno announcing grants to assist with deterring violent crime against Native peoples -- which is perpetrated, according to this article, at more than double the rate for any other racial group and more than for any other race, from people who are NOT of this racial group. That statistic alone says that we need to do something.

I've also had a question from a participant about the use of the word
"race." Perhaps it should have been ethnic instead or minority instead or something else instead?? . But I did take it from the original newspaper article.

Onward!

Eliza
