Thu Jul 13 03:52:16 EDT 2006

Greetings Aeve,

Thanks for your question. 

We are compiling the stories as they come in and have just begun the  review 
process.  After the August 1 deadline, the four of us will be  meeting to 
discuss each contribution in depth before making the final  selections.  We will 
let authors know as soon as those decisions are  made.  

Remember, all profits from this book go to NAME for scholarships and  
educational outreach, so keep those stories coming!!!

Warm Regards,
Gina Boltz, Director
Native Village Publications
