New website here. There are numerous upcoming events listed there as well. One that we have not yet announced is here (pdf), an event in Oklahoma on April 23-24.
(on a side note, NARF does a great job with its website addresses for these projects, making them very easy to pass on at events or when speaking: narf [dot] org [slash] icwa ; narf [dot] org [slash] peacemaking. It’s a little thing, but much appreciated.)
