[Lasa] Twentieth anniversary encounter of Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities

[Marc Becker]

In June of 2010, Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities are gathering in 
Quito, Ecuador, on the twentieth anniversary of a similar encounter that 
represented a dramatic step forward in continental Indigenous organizing 
strategies (see http://www.encuentroaguilacondorquito.org/). In order to 
raise funds for this important meeting, we are offering for sale copies 
of four books from Donna Lee Van Cott, a leading scholar of Indigenous 
rights movements. The books cost $5 for paperbacks, and $10 for 
hardcovers. Naturally, any additional donations to bring Indigenous 
peoples to the encounter are warmly welcomed, and are fully tax 
deductible. Please send any funds to:

Seventh Generation Fund for Indian Development
PO Box 4569
Arcata, California 95518 USA

Please email Marc Becker at marc at yachana.org noting your donation and 
requesting which book(s) you would like to receive. The four books are:
