["Dick Pierce" <dickpiercedesigns@gmail.com>]

Shavani, I would be happy to share more with you as your groups, geography,
and specific needs develop. For openers I would recommend contacting Clayton
Brascoupe, Tuscarora, of the Tesuque Pueblo outside of Santa Fe. He has run
the Traditional Native American Farmers Association for the SW for many
years. Their orientation and programs are refered to as American Indian
Permaculture - they were having 1-2 PDC classes per year at a selected
Pueblo - free to American Indians, a fee for others. Scott Pittman and
several of the Santa Fe PC folks have been involved. TNAFA is in place and
working - they always need help and support to expand their efforts.

Please let me know (dickpiercedesigns@gmail.com) more of your specific
plans, tribes, locations. I worked with the American Indian Science &
Engineering Society several years ago - one of my projects was Traditional
Agriculture, in several regions around the country. Many of my contacts are
still alive and several of the projects are flourishing.

Traditional Agriculture is a worthy cause, and a near prefect match with
Permaculture. Thanks for doing what you are doing.
