Archive-name: auto/alt.native/Columbus-Quincentenary-protest-files-available-via-ftp

Nearly the entire contents of the archives of the NAT-1492 mailing list,
which has been in operation since September, 1991, have just been made
available for ftp access via anonymous ftp from ftp.css.itd.umich.edu
(141.211.182.11).

The NAT-1492 list, which deals with the subject matter of the effects of
the voyage of exploration of Christopher Columbus from a non-traditional
perspective, was spun off from the NATIVE-L list, which itself deals more
generally with the subject of the indigenous peoples of the world, par-
ticularly with threats to their cultures and way of life.  Information
on how to get more details on NAT-1492, NAT-EDU, and the other mailing
lists operated by NativeNet are given at the end of this article.

To obtain articles via ftp, if your system supports the command, do the
following:
                ftp ftp.css.itd.umich.edu
             or
                ftp 141.211.182.11
                        (enter "anonymous" at the login prompt, and
                         enter your own user-ID at the password prompt.)
                cd /poli/nativenet.d/1492.d

Now you will be able to go to individual directories containing the
actual files, as indicated by the following list.

You can also obtain the entire archive via ftp from redspread.css.itd.umich.edu
(141.211.182.91) using the same procedure indicated above, but log on using the
commands:
                ftp redspread.css.itd.umich.edu
             or
                ftp 141.211.182.91
                        (again, use "anonymous" and your user-ID)
                cd /poli/nativenet.d/1492.d

This machine has the files in compressed form, so you'll need the "uncompress"
or "zcat" program in order to uncompress them.  Each file in this directory
structure ends with the string ".Z" - which indicates a compressed file.

The original articles may also be obtained from the archives associated with
the Bitnet-based LISTSERV archive at site TAMVM1.  To learn how to use these
archives, send the message:

                get nn-intro archives native-l

to the address:

   listserv@tamvm1.tamu.edu  or  listserv@tamvm1.bitnet  (that's "TAMVM1")

The advantage of using the LISTSERV archive is that you can retrieve articles
based on a full-text keyword search, which is explained in abbreviated form in
the document mentione above, or in a more complete form by means of a document
which can be obtained by sending:

                get listdb memo

to the listserv address.

These files are the product of one year's dialogues concerning the 1492-1992
Five Hundred Years Anniversary (Quincentenary / Quincentennial) of the voyage
of exploration undertaken by Christopher Columbus, with special reference to
the devastating effects of that voyage and its aftermath on the native peoples
of the Americas.

The ongoing dialogue is available via electronic mail by means of a mailing
list called NAT-1492 which is managed by the Revised LISTSERV software at
site TAMVM1 at Texas A & M University, and is one of several mailing lists
operated by NativeNet, designed and managed by Gary S. Trujillo, who can be
contacted via the address "gst@gnosys.svle.ma.us" or as "gtrujillo@igc.org"
on the IGC (PeaceNet/EcoNet) system.  (43 Jackson Road, Somerville, MA 02145,
Phone: 617-776-0121)

To get more information on NativeNet and how to subscribe to NAT-1492 or any

containing the text:

                get nn-intro purpose native-l

(that's "NATIVE-L")

One of the NativeNet lists (NATCHAT) is linked to the Usenet newsgroup
"alt.native."  The majority of the remainder of the lists are also available
on the IGC (PeaceNet/EcoNet) system, which is accessible via telnet and via
local dial-in through Sprintnet.
