The only odd thing is that you are wasting your time here, when you have so many dragons to slay elsewhere. Learn to read. As I posted, the company has a phone number, use it. Ask them yourself. FYI, since your time is so taken up with investigating RMIL related "conspiracies" (if ever a "hammer'' has fallen, it's there), I'll save you some time - here's what has gone on at IWWC over the last few months as reported by them (by the way, I met with them in Sausalito, you might try information there -- 414-555-1212). SAUSALITO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 1998--Indian Wells Water Co. (NASDAQ:IWWC - news) today announced the finalization of an agreement that will make the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, an American Indian tribe located in northern Minnesota, the company's largest shareholder. The Mille Lacs Band's Corporate Commission last month approved a $10 million investment in the company. Indian Wells Water Company will market and distribute water bottled by American Indian Tribes from protected sources on tribal trust lands. The company has signed letters of intent to enter into joint venture agreements with five tribes located in the Northeast, the Pacific Northwest, Southern California, the Southeast and Upper Midwest (with the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe) to bottle naturally-sourced water, and is in discussions with others with protected, high-quality sources on their trust lands. SONOMA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 1998-- Indian Wells Water Company (NASDAQ:IWWC news) announced today the addition of three members to its board of directors: Bruce Nevins, a founder of Perrier North America and now a senior executive at Reebok International Limited; Eileen Johnson, a member of the Corporate Commission of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians; and Kenneth Mimmack, commissioner of corporate affairs for the Mille Lacs Band.
