The pow-wow was wonderful. All the things you mentioned plus they have a group of survivalist (natives using local materials) that gave lessons and lived in tee-pees on site (yes the teepees are out of place for SC, but they're portable and pleasing to the eye). The tribe was the Waccamaw-Chicora (they are a tribe of about 6 families that were given land and are applying for recognition to the SCIAB; no luck yet, 9 years and counting). Many other tribes were represented, but this little group sponsored it. From the literature there's only a handful of recognized native groups in SC, but there was over 30 different tribes before the taker thunderbolt. We did not distribute much Quinn stuff, but these people (the natives, not the tourists) seem so much closer to leaver than I would have imagined. We didn't want Quinn to be another white man's philosophy, but it's was just the feeling we got, except now we trust our feelings and instincts much more completely. Our response for materials, to take with, was fulfilled overwhelmingly by other ether-net revolutionaries (thanks especially to John Kurman (KC) and Brent Houstou (msp)(Oakland). It was great to know that this medium of tedium can be physically responsive because there is always another human-animal on the other end. I love the human-animal, it's brawn, it's brain, and it's bravery. That's a lot coming from a former long-time extreme misanthrope, now animist tribesman, future leaver.
