Thanks for this. It is great to help people. The people at Big Mtn. wonder why you didn't share any profits from you hit song "Big Mountain" with their stuggle from sovereignty rather than keeping all of the profits... this all seems self-promoting in some respects... Also, some of the families get left out of the 'Thanksgiving' in the outer reaches... I hope you are working closely with BMIS...

I confused you guys with another band, sorry. I was up there in 96 & 97. It's clearly been too long. Thanks for all of the great work. Feel free to delete the other stupid comment... Blessings...
