I joined this list thinking it would be on the lines of genealogy and possibly I could get some help here. However it seems the real big discussion is the census and funding, which I feel is probably being handled in conferences, seminars and workshops set up just for this purpose to educate those who need to know about it. Which is fine and as should be. If I am on the wrong list then I will be unsubscribing and looking for the Native American list that will be discussing genealogy. Can someone tell me the true purpose of this list? Barbara in Idaho
