OP, thanks for posting this information!
Since reading your post, I have contacted an NAC branch near where I live and will be attending a Washumita and Sacred Pipe ceremony soon.
They accept donations, and in my area, ask for about $200 for the ceremony. However, that being said, they don't turn people away for lack of funds. I have run into some tough economic times over the past several years, and after explaining my situation to the NAC representative, was immediately told that I was very welcome, even without making any donations!
I look forward to hanging out with Mescalito again, in the near future.
Thanks OP......
I am certifiably insane, as such all posts written by me should be regarded as utter nonsense or attempts to get attention by using totally fictitious verbiage...........
