Re: [humanmarkup] Voting - Note From ROB (Nixon)

[James Landrum <James.Landrum@ndsu.nodak.edu>]

In case identity of Rob in previous Note from ROB wasn't clear, that is 
Rob Nixon.  He sent the note via my email account.  If needed, later 
today he will send the note from his account.  Let me know if that is 
necessary and I'll pass the word along to Rob.

Rob is here at NDSU doing motion capture of Native American Powwow 
Dancers for use in the Archaeology Technologies Laboratory, Native 
Dancer Project, a Diabetes Health Care Management game under development 
in collaboration with the White Earth (Ojibwa) Tribal Council.  Native 
Dancer will emphasize use of 3D avatar dancers to challenge Native 
American youth who are at risk of Diabetes Type 2, by offering them 
culturally sensitive powwow dance exercise routines that will also train 
them in traditional dance techniques, etc.
