hi Alexis

glad to help

can I suggest we might do a couple of things

1. could the organics consumer association sponsor a high-quality web-video
on USA Indigenous Permaculture, in colloboration with the Indigeneous
Permaculture group in Berkeley
http://www.indigenous-permaculture.com/media.html
2. could we do a web/cam skype interview to discuss the article, for
Permaculture TV ? i.e. http://permaculture.tv/?p=1326

*it would be really great if the consumer organics association, perhaps
forming a coalition of stakeholders could organize an Indigenous
Permaculture web video/viral campaign*

we are too busy at the moment - heading to Copenhagen for Klimaforum09

also, you might want to reference further, the book
1491 New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1491:_New_Revelations_of_the_Americas_Before_Columbus

regards
