I did one with group including a number of Southern Utes in Durango (for which I received a wonderful talking stick which is used occasionally but usually hangs on my wall). Mark Carmel who lives in Pueblo CO has been a lot closer to a lot of this stuff, but unfortunately he is not on the listserve. But his phone number used to be 719-583-6011 email <mcar...@usa.net>. If he answers, tell him not to be a stranger, to join the listserve (he has probably done as many Open Spaces as anybody in the world), and that I said Hi.
