Roger,
      To quote from one of their catalogs: "Native Seeds/SEARCH 
works to conserve the traditional crops, seeds and methods that 
sustained native peoples throughout the southwestern U.S. and 
northern Mexico." 

     They use organic methods to grow out many varieties of 
native corn, beans, chiles and other food and herb crops. They 
sell the seed and such stuff as various chile powders. They are 
also one of the sponsors of the annual Fiesta de los Chiles in 
Tucson.

     You can contact them to order a catalog, etc. at:

                    Native Seeds/SEARCH
                    2509 N. Campbell Ave #325
                    Tucson, AZ 85719

Phone # is (520) 327-9123, but this number is for information 
_only_ - they will not take orders over it. You can order by 
using their fax line - (520) 327-5821.
