All ApologiesIn the headline to last week's eNews, we made the unfortunate choice to use the word "powwow" to describe this past Thursday's Plastics Reduction Forum. As several readers pointed out, Native Americans consider a powwow to be a sacred ceremony, and consequently, that term should not be used to describe a non-spiritual meeting. We regret that word choice and will make more careful decisions about the terms we use going forward.
