>We would like to ask that we take about 15 minutes from Rick's time on the
>Access Grid to have a traditional Indian Blessing of the Grid, the Alliance,
>and the Chautauquas.  We will have the Governor of the Santa Domingo Pueblo,
>here to do the blessing.  It consists of a prayer followed by a dialogue
>between the Governor and his Spokesperson. The Spokesperson's son, Benny
>Atencio, is a Ph.D. who directs Indian education for the BIA in the
>Southwest and he will introduce his elders.
>
>Ernie feels it is most appropriate to do this after Larry has introduced the
>Access Grid to the audience - and after all the sites have been brought up.
>Larry would then briefly turn the program back to me for the blessing
>ceremony and I would introduce Dr Atencio.  After the blessing Larry and
>Rick would do Rick's presentation on the Access grid.

>Sincerely,
>Frank
