Next year's ChInUk Wawa gathering

[terry glavin]

hi dave:

my preferences: seattle, vancouver, grande ronde, fort vancouver, spokane.
reasons: seattle over vancouver because this year's was in kinchotch/sto:lo
illahie, next, to be reasonable, in boston (tribal territory?) illahie;
vancouver next, over other boston places, because the exchange rate is so
damn good for boston dollas, bad for kinchotch loons; grande ronde because
it's grande ronde, fort vancouver because they understand the importance of
lalang (wawa); i like spokane, but there we are. . .
