>> The Invitation - by Oriah Mountain Dreamer, Indian Elder -

Oh! Who was speaking by the way, Oriah or someone else, and is Oriah
Male of Female if you know, and where did you get the tape by the way?

>> Oriah can be reached at:
>> 300 Coxwell Ave. Box 22546
>> Toronto, Ontario Canada M4L 2A0

> Great, I will order the book.

I might too, I just want to know a bit more about the book.  So I went
to Infoseek and Searched using "Confessions of a Spiritual Thrillseeker"
and got 3 Listings: The first didn't work anymore, the second was the
one I gave you last time, and the third was:

USGenWeb Oklahoma Indian Territory Potawatomi Indian Tribe -
http://tri.net/~kheidel/nativeamer/index.html

and at the end of the Page I found:
-----
Oriah Mountain Dreamer is ...

Confessions of a Spiritual Thrillseeker : Medicine Teachings from the
Grandmothers by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Published by Moonfox Press
Publication date: October 1991
ISBN: 0969536119
-----
So I guess she's a Female - That answers that!!!

I also went to Amazon.com and it said:
-----
Availability: This title is out of print. It is no longer available from
the publisher; we'll query our network of used bookstores for you and
send an update within a week.
-----
So I guess it's off to the Used Bookstore Network to find it or maybe we
can contact Oriah herself to see if she has anymore or extra copies; but
I'm sure if we want to find it we will and can.

This was a Special Occasion so to speak I felt and so did my more Normal
Sign Off that I do when sending a Message to a Friend, so you won't have
to worry about me doing this anymore like in the past since I got your
Post about it before - :)

 - Take Care My Friend!!!

 - Gregg!!!
