Thanks to our translators, to Brian Daffron and Maya Torralba for videotaping and notetaking service, and to the vendors who brought their art to the Summit. We also wish to express graditude to all of the embassies and consulates that assisted with visas, and to the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Consulate in Ekaterinburg, Russia, for sponsoring the International Indigenous Student Videoconference on Culture and the Environment.
