I 'should be very interested in reading your paper
concenrning the Uitoto, Witoto Indian
Specifically regarding the influence of such a clearly

There is an open "files" folder on this list where any
files and graphics may be placed for members
of the list to read - if you have a text/graphics file
and if you wish to do so.
