What is DAMA Dark Matter Detection Compatible with Other Searches about?

We present two examples of velocity distributions for light dark matter particles that reconcile the annual modulation signal observed by DAMA with all other negative results from dark matter searches. They are: (1) a conventional Maxwellian distribution for particle masses of 6 to 9 GeV; (2) a dark matter stream coming from the general direction of Galactic rotation (not the Sagittarius stream). Our idea is based on having a signal in Na, instead of I, in DAMA, and can be tested in the immediate future by CDMS-II (using Si) and CRESST-II (using O).
