Start of the Update
===================
I thought I would post a few things, and ask you for your input on
something else.
Also, a reminder: I average over 1,000 spam e-mails each day at the
americanindian.net addresses. Because of this, I have added an e-mail
filter. Occasionally, if your include a certain word in the subject
line, or if your e-mail comes from a source which has sent me lots of
spam, I may not get your e-mail. While it might take me a day or two, I
always answer the real e-mail I get. If your mail comes back as
"undeliverable," or if I do not respond, it is because of this. This is
seldom a problem at the rocketmail address. So, if I do not respond to
your e-mail, try the rocketmail address below.
Again, if you would like to get a copy of my book, it is available in
many bookstores in the US. You can order a copy through my website for
less than bookstores at:

I have planned on discussing movies about American Indians in an
upcoming newsletter. If you have a favorite movie, let me know. Tell me
why do you like it. The opposite also applies, tell me if you have a
movie which you really dislike, and why.

Here are the postings:
Tex Hall to speak at Seminar in Denver Nov. 19, 2002
Tex G. Hall, President of the the National Congress of American
Indians will be the keynote speaker at the American Indian Program
Council's 10th Anniversary One-day Seminar on Nov. 19 in Denver,
Colorado. There will be sessions on Traditional Knowledge and the Tribal
College Initiative, as well as speakers Richard Williams, Executive
Director of the American Indian college Fund, and Raymond Cross of the
University of Montana Law School.
The American Indian Program Council (AIPC) is a subcommittee of the
Denver Federal Executive Board, and is concerned with the recruitment
and retention of American Indians in the federal workforce. This
seminar is chargable under American Indian Heritage Month diversity
training, but attendance is not limited to the federal sector. Anyone
with an interest is welcome to register. The registration deadline is
Nov. 1, and the cost is $80. The Red Lion Hotel has a special rate for
attendees if reservations are made by Nov. 1. Please go to the website
at www.aipc.osmre.gov to download registration materials, agenda and
posters. If you would like more information contact Lori Windle at
lwin-@osmre.gov or Rebecca Redhorse at rredh-@prs.usbr.gov

Application Deadline: February 3, 2003
The Foundation sponsored and implemented its first Native American
Congressional Summer Internship program in June 1996. For ten weeks,
Native American college students work in congressional offices and the
White House to gain a firsthand understanding of the federal government.
They also take field trips and meet with congressional members, agency
heads, and cabinet secretaries.

Scholarship support for preservice American Indian teachers
The University of Oregon has recently received a Federal grant that will
provide scholarship support for a number of American Indians who want to
enroll in one of the following teacher education programs at the
University of Oregon (each is a "fifth year" program that assumes a
bachelor's degree):
1. Elementary Education
2. Middle School/Secondary School Education
3. Elementary School Special Education
4. Middle School/Secondary School Special Education
I have added an American Indian page to the OTEC Website. It is at:
http://otec.uoregon.edu/american_indians.htm
If you know of students who might be interested in these
scholarships(they pay tuition, fees, a stipend, and so on), have then
contact Pat Rounds.
Thanks,
Dave Moursund
