A newsleffer for members and friends of the AALL Native Peoples Low Caucus.

Ideas to Discuss at Our Nexl f\lecting You'U notice th at this letterhead look ~ hkc the bcgiruung of a brand new newsletter. Actually, our caucus has nut decided on a ncw~lclte r. I'm afraid th at I haven 't been able to send out more than one general infom1ation lener du ring the past year. Perh~ps someone would like to act as an editor. Also, should we have officers'! Last year there was a decision to have just a coordinator, but more hands make the work.load lighter. Whar about a steering co1111ni11cc'I A purpose and 1mlicy statemenl? Or should we keep our caucu~ informal aud a ~soc i ationa l ? The future of the cu ucus is grand but the 1lircc lion is up for grJl>s. --1\Taria l'nrtli. Caucus Coordinator

Aho!
