<DIV><FONT size=2>A group of Fort Nisqually volunteers is starting a Chinook
Jargon/Indian Sign Language Class. We plan to meet every other week or so
throughout the summer. I would like to invite the members of
this list to join us. Our first meeting will be this Friday,
June 11th at Fort Nisqually. Fort Nisqually is within Pt. Defiance Park,
Tacoma. We will gather at 6:30 PM. Push the gate in the Palisades
open and come in. The gate will be closed but not
locked. Please note that this will be a drug and alcohol free
event.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>None of our group know much Chinook Jargon or Indian Sign
Language. We will be the "Blind leading the Blind" so to speak. So,
come with that in mind. We plan to use Duane Pasco's book and tape to
begin our Chinook Jargon. For the sign language, we will be using
"North American Indian Sign Language" by Karen Liptak. </FONT></DIV>
