The teachings tell us that the Veterans POW-WOW was initiated by the women of the Midewi win Society to honor their warriors. During the 70's this POW-WOW was held in Hopkins burg, MI, later in the 70's it moved to Allegan, MI, and in the latter part of the 1980's came to Grand Rapids and was held as a cultural gathering at the West Side Complex, where it was sponsored by the Grand Rapids Inter-tribal Council. In 1991 the Grand Rapids Community College invited the Anishnabe to the Ford Fieldhouse as a Co-sponsor with the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council with the assistance of the Vet Center, and has been held there 3 years. The POW-WOW has historical, spiritual, and social value to Native American people. In addition to participating in the traditional dance and song, Native American people visit with family and friends, make new acquaintances, and trade their arts and crafts. The POW-WOW has also become a means of providing an opportunity for cultural sharing with non-Native American people. During the POW-WOW, wisdom passes from elders to the children. To Native American people, the elders and children are particularly important. Both the young, who are just beginning their journey through life, and the elders, who are near the completion of their journey, share a closeness to the Creator. To those who have newly arrived and to those who will soon leave it, the world is especially beautiful. �BEAD POW WOW PEOPLE Coordination of events during a Pow Wow is very important. In order to keep things running smoothly, the "Head People" are asked to take major responsibilities for the Pow Wow. They are selected for their knowledge, skill, and ability to carry out their tasks. It is a great honor to be selected as one of the Head People. BEAD VETERAN DANCER The Head Veteran Dancer is one of the most important dancers in the Pow Wow. He is the dancer who carries the eagle feather staff during Grand Entry and represents all Native Americans who have given their service and lives in defense of our country. He leads the rest of the dancers into the arena during Grand Entry. Head Veteran Dancer - Frank Bush , U.S. Marine Corps , Wounded WWII The Head Veteran Dancer is one of the most important dancers in the Pow Wow.

Sydney Martin is Pottawattorni, Wolf Clan, First Degree Mide', Three Fires Lodge, Midewiwin Society. Syd is the only child of renowned basket maker Gladys Sands.

His daughter Angie lives in the Houghton Lake area and attends college and directs a photography studio in that area. Bill is presently employed by the Counseling Center at Ferris State University and also teaches in the Social Work Department. ARENA DIRECTOR The Arena Director is often the busiest person at the Pow Wow. He is responsible for coordinating everything which will ensure the dancing commences smoothly. If any singerordancer has a problem with anon-site deficiency, the arena director makes every effort to remedy the situation. He must make sure all the drummers and dancers have everything they need to participate in the pow wow. He coordinates Grand Entries and specialty dances plus deals with anyone who may be behaving inappropriately during the dancing or in the arena. �THE GRAND ENTRY The Grand Entry is the first dance of the Pow Wow. The dancers enter the dance circle arena from the east in a single file. The Eagle Staff (representing Native American nations) and the United States flag are carried atthe head of the line. The dancers at the front of the line have a place of honor, respect, and responsibility. The dancers create a circle on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing the sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and their ancestors to witness this physical testimony of the continuation of traditional values. MEN'S TRADITIONAL DANCE Acting out feats of bravery through dance, dancers use story telling movements. They represent an older, distinguished sector of the Pow Wow. The Southern, orstraighttraditional dancers, wear ribbon-skirted regalia with bead work piecesof hide, and a red roach headdress of porcupine quills or horsehair, but no bustle; they assume a dignity of movement. Moving clockwise around the drum, Northern dancers imitate animals with side-to-side movements of their heads. Typically, they wear buckskin, on bustle, leggings, a breast plate of bone and a roach; they often use mirrors to reflect back what is given. What to watch for: Most interesting is watching the story line develop as each dancer challenges the enemy. Even with the slow tempo, the rhythm must be in harmony with the drum. Try to interpret each motion and compare the different ways dancers imitate the eagle or the porcupine. Jerry Pigeon, Sr., Eagle Clan, Potawatoml, Traditional Dancer, Weekaun (spiritual officer) of the Mide' Widjig, Vietnam Veteran. WOMEN'S TRADITIONAL DANCE This dance of honor reflects the women in Indian society, including their roles as givers of life, keepers of home and family, decision-makers, and heads of households. Northern dancers dance in one position or area. Southern dancers move clockwise around the drum. Although styles of dress vary, buckskin or cloth dresses with ribbons and shells are often worn. What to watch for: Discipline is essential to the slow, graceful movements of the dance. Dancing in perfect harmony with the drum, while never breaking the sedate spirit, is the essence of the dance. The dips and sways are executed with no break in dignity. Virginia Pigeon, Traditional Dancer. Elder and member of Cedar Women's Society, Mide' Wldjig. �INTER-TRIBAL DANCES The dances are sometime called friendship dances and are a chance for everyone to join in the dancing. It is not necessary to be dressed in regalia to participate. The Master of Ceremonies will often announce the inner-tribals, which make up the largest portion of the dances, and encourage the audience to join in. GRASS DANCE The people travelled and often made a new camp. Different tasks were given to those most suitef for them. The energy of young men made it natural for them to help set up a dancing place. As the grass was very tall in the days before the land was worked into farms, a group of young men moved around the common area and with their feet pushed down the grass, pressing it again and again until the area was more comfortable to move through. Their movements recalled the wind restlessly swirling the grass. ..L MEN'S FANCY DANCE WOMEN'S FANCY DANCE Today's men's colorful Fancy Feather dance based on the traditional and Warrior Society dances. The dancer's talent and skill is reflescted in his foorwork, body movements and his ability to stay in step with the drumbeat. What to watch for: Following the rhythm of the drum with the steps, the motion of the head and the flow of the body are important elements in the Fancy Dance. Since the steps are individual, the expression of the emotion of the music and the change of pace from the slowernorthern style to the faster southern beat are important. As in all Native American dancing, the finish in exact time with the song is significant in the judging. This dance is popular with young women today as a competitive piece at Powwows. It may have originated as the Butterfly Dance. When her mate is killed in battle, the female butterfly mourns and goes into her cocoon as interpreted with the shawl. Her emergence celebrates freedom and a new life. The dancer makes her colorful shawl, worn over the shoulders, dance with her. Creativity and smoothness are the keys to an outstanding performance. What to watch for: Since each dancer has her own individual style, the essence is how well the steps and motions express and harmonize with the drums. Being in time with the beat is important, as is the ability to end the dance precisely. �THE JINGLE DRESS DANCE At a time when there was widespread sickness and weakness among the people, many people were searching for a way to restore the health of the community. A young Chippewa girl had a dream in which she saw how effective prayers could be made. The next day she went to a wise grandmother, a medicine woman, who helped her with the realization of her dream. They sewed onto a dress of beautiful fabric many small cones of metal. Each one went with a prayer. And, when it was worn in the dance, the dress made a jingling sound recalling the saying of constant prayers. THE SACRED We dance within the Sacred Circle and become all that it represents. All things contained within the Circle are equal within it. The Circle is the Universe. It is change, life, death, birth, and learning. It is the cycle of all things that exist; our way of touching and experiencing harmony with all other things. All things of the Circle have life and spirit; the rocks, Earth, sky, plants, and animals. Our spirit is determined and made whole only through the learning or harmony with all our relatives, the other spirits of the Circle. And the Circle is the way of seeking this understanding; it is our mirror. (Adapted from Seven Arrows Hyemeyohsts Storm) The Pow Wow grounds are arranged in a series of circles: the drum, the drummers, the singers, the dancers, the dance area, and the traders. "You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days, when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This knowledge came to us form the outer world with our religion. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and al ways come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children." (John G .

As much as I would like to join you today at the Ford Fieldhouse, prior commitments will not allow me to do so. t As you honor area veterans in this very special ceremony, we are reminded of our nation's heritage and diversity which unites us and is the source of our strength. We shall never forget the Forgotten Warriors - those special servicemen whom you honor today - for their bravery and devoted service. Ceremonies like today's Pow Wow demonstrate our people's resolv~ nev~r to jorget the ultimate sacrifices of so many of our loved ones. I will truly miss being with you. DWR/smj SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF FORGOTTEN WARRIORS Korean War July 27, 1993 marked the 40th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. The War lasted three years and 32 days. The war was fought between the communist North Korea and China against South Korea and 22 United Nations (U.N.) including the United States. This was the first major war of the nuclear age. Korea turned out to be struggle of wills - whether communism or individual freedom would prevail. The Allied men and women fighting there met that test and the tide against communism was turned into a victory often forgotten by history. Welcome home honored American Korean war veterans and veterans of the armed forces of South Korea and the Allied Forces. Vietnam War March 29, 1993 marks the 20th year since the last American troops left South Vietnam. The war between North Vietnam and South Vietnam and the free world forces lasted over 11 years. The free world forces consisted of the Republic of Vietnam, the United States of America, Australia, New Zeeland, Thailand, the Philippines and volunteers from Canada. Welcome home honored Vietnam Free World Forces. November 11, 1993 marks the dedication of the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project, Welcome home to the women who served . .{#Jt=+=G=45•:.c::~=ng=-~cnd=N:::,,~oc.~=,~::::,ndac:d= ••=:.•~c::~=:=.•~cnr=4::::,,5:ocr=i::::,baca=/•Cc::,~=16"":c1~=.~=>3oc:::~~ 1940 Eastern SE Grand Rapids, Ml 49507 �:-· :•>.,.•••., ...............,,::::::: ..

Earthquakes, fires, floods, drought, and diseases will ravage the world in preparation for the Purification that will cleanse Mother Earth of the pollution inflicted on her. The prophecies say the destruction of the natural world will be caused by man's greed for material things, and "all over the land, freedom of the people will be suppressed as evil ruler look more to material things than to the spiritual laws of the Great Spirit". The Hopi were told to watch for signs that mark a critical time in human history, a crossroads at which man's actions will decide the fate of all life on earth. The Hopi were given instructions on how to avoid the annihilation of the world which included a directive to travel to a "great house made of mica" (glass) built on the distant eastern shores of this continent where leaders of the earth's nations would gather." There, the Hopi were instructed to knock on the door of this house in order to deliver their message to those gathered there. If refused, they were to knock again, until they had done so four times. Since 1949, the traditional elders of the Hopi have knocked three times on the door of the United Nations and have been turned away by world leaders whose "house made of mica" sits on Native homelands. This year, in the International Year of Indigenous Peoples," the fourth and final knock on the door produced a historical gathering that is the final fulfillment of the spiritual instructions given to the Hopi. On November 22 & 23, spiritual leaders from the four directions gathered at the United Nations "house made of mica" to share ancient Native prophecies warning of environmental destruction of the natural world at a historic conference called " Cry of the Earth, the Legacy of First Nations." Ceremonies included messages from Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Secretary General of the United Nations, and Interior Secretary Ada Deer, as well as an oration on sacred places by N.Scott Momaday, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Delegations from the Algonquin, Lakota, Hopi, Iroquois, Mi-kmaq, Huichol, and Mayan Nations delivered powerful messages handed down through the rich oral tradition of their peoples. "It's prophesied in our Instructions that the end of the world will be near when the trees start dying from the tops down - that's what the maples are doing today," said Leon Shenandoah, Tadadaho of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy. "Our Instructions say the time will come when there will be no corn, when nothing will grow in the garden, when the water will be unfit to drink. "We were instructed to cany a respect for all the beings of the Earth and recognized that excessive exploitation can only lead to our own destruction. We cannot trade the welfare of our future generations for profit now. We must stand together, the four sacred colors of man, as the one family that we are, in the interest of peace.

What he did was stand up for his people against the wishes of energy conglomerates to mine the rich uranium, oil and coal deposits beneath the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. What he did was dare to say "no" to continued injustices that were a part of life at Pine Ridge in the 70s. For this, he was convicted of the deaths of two FBI agents during a shoot-Out at Pine Ridge on June 26, 1075. He remains in prison today even though the government has actually admitted it doesn't know who killed the agents. THE BACKGROUND In the early 1970s the traditional I.akota people at Pine Ridge opposed leasing and selling reservation lands fro uranium rrurung. The government-backed tribal leader, Richard Wilson, favored uranium mining and was not adverse to vehemently attacking anyone who got in his way. Much of this violence was aimed at destroying the American Indian Movement (AIM) whom traditional I.akota people had summoned for protection against the onslaught of Wilson's FBI-backed police. Leonard Peltier was among the AIM members who answered this plea for help. They came, aware that Wilson's police were backed by military assault weapons, tactical support, and FBI-supplied intelligence about AIM supporters. The formidable presence which the FBI maintained on the reservation during this time was difficult to ignore. THE SHOOT-Our It was in this atmosphere of violence that, on June 26, 1975, two FBI agents drove onto a family's land on the res_ervation at high speed, in cars nobody coul~ identify, allegedly following a Native American in a red pick-up truck who had been accused of stealing cowboy boots. Their behavior precipitated a shoot-out in which the agent and a Native American man, Joe Stuntz Killsright, were killed. According to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, within hours for the shoot-out hundreds of paramilitary-equipped, combatclad FBI agents and U.S. Marshals staged a dragnet through the reservation in a fever of revenge in which men, women and children were terrified and properties and houses were ransacked. There was no investigation into the death of the Native American. THE TRIALS Of the four men eventually indicted for the murder of the agents, one was released due to "weak" evidence. Two others were acquitted in July 1976 when a jury concluded that although they had fired at the agents, they had done so in selfdefense. Leonard Peltier was indicted on the same charges but was not tried until the following year. Fearing for his life after the shoot-out, he had escaped to Canada but in 1976 was arrested and extradited based on affidavits that in 1985 government prosecutors admitted were fabricated. The government successfully created an atmosphere of fear and intimidation around Peltier's trial, and the presiding judge rejected all attempts by the defense to introduce evidence of FBI culpability. This, along with a prosecution team that withheld exculpatory evidence showing that the shell casing found closest to the scene of the Gary sh'e:a.han · = ~:e: ! i~:g:r·K::=i:w=~·,.

In properly applied discipline, ooth the parent and the child know and understand the desired outcome of any action taken. The parent tells the child or demonstrates the desired behavior in a positive, supportive way. The child may then be allowed to practice the behavior, receiving praise for attempts to achieve the goal set by the parent. Parent/child interaction does not threaten either and allows ooth to express genuine feelings. Children can participate in making rules for the family, especially those that apply directly to him or her. Any failure to comply with rules has consistent, clearly defined, and appropriate consequences that help the child learn and grow. Abuse is improperly applied punishment taken by the parent to vent anger, express negative thoughts aoout the child, and eliminate opportunity for the child to understand parental motives. Impulsive, ·inconsistent, or harsh behavior by the parent is received as condemnation by the child. The message received is usually one that convinces the victim that he or she is a "bad" person. Resentment, hostility, and thoughts of retaliation often result instead of the desired outcome. Parents who apply the same "discipline" for every misbehavior are not in tune with the child's needs and the result is that the disciplinary action is usually ineffective. This leads to frustration and may even frighten the parent when the child becomes resistant, or defiant. The result is an acceleration of parent/child misunderstanding, harsher punishment, and perhaps mutual distrust and hatred. Parents who use corporal punishment exclusively on misbehaving children will find that as the child grows, becomes bigger and stronger, the "spanking" also must become stronger. The obvious result is that adolescents are perhaps beaten as the only control the parent now has over the child. There are ways to rear children without destroying their human potential or creating another child abuser. Since I have joined the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council, I have seen the growth in the Young EaglesNision Seekers program. When I first came in I saw the Monday night and Wednesday night group and each had about 8-10 youth in each and now that number has increased at least double. The group that Diane Leaureaux runs on Tuesday night has also grown dramatically and some of the parents had even wanted them to expand the time from one hour to one and a half hours. When I first started Susan Ives showed me how the program worked on Monday nights and I appreciate the things she taught me. I really miss her as my partner and was nervous about continuing without her. Although I was left to work those nights solo I found strong support from various families. A special thanks to Kelly Loonsfoot for becoming my volunteer partner. I like where I work and believe that Hunter Genia has proven to be an excellent leader at work and all around for that matter. I will not say he is a boss for he is not bossy but more of a person to give direction. I thought I was here to share myself with the kids but I find they have just as much to share with me. The kids have taught me the most this year. They have given me a higher self-esteem. I have pride in our youth that just cannot be beat. They taught me many things, one being the acceptance of others who are true to themselves. They can show so much respect no matter what activity we are doing. The way they worked putting the Senior Care Packages together made me proud. The teamwork proves our future is going to be brighter. The week of camp, lock-ins, picnic, trip to colleges and the pow wow was great to experience with them. I see many powerful things from this group and I just want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to work with them. Migwech!

TIIE APPEALS Since Peltier's conviction in 1977, the courts ruive rejected three appeals for a new trial. During the second appeal, the Justice Department admitted that it had no idea who did kill the agents. When an appellate judge commented that he saw no credible evidence of first degree murder, the prosecution argued that Peltier should remain in prison because he had "aided and abetted" in the murder of the agents. Because Peltier had been convicted of close-up, first degree murder (not aiding and abetting) it was this change of theory by the government that became the basis of a third appeal for a new trial. But on July 7, 1993, this request was again denied. During the second appeal, the court acknowledged that Peltier had not been tried for aiding and abetting. They added that because charges of government misconduct either could or should have been litigated earlier, they could not be litigated now. The case against Leonard Peltier is so riddled with perjury, suppressed evidence, coerced witnesses and fabricated affidavits that over 20 million people from around the world, as well as 55 members of Congress, are urging the President to grant Peltier executive clemency.

One cannot sell one's Mother. You cannot carve up and distribute your Mother who is the source of nourishment and support for your very existence. Yet that is happening." There is a crying need to mend this hoop of all nations which is included in our prophecy of Mending the Sacred Hoop. We all belong to and are a part of this sacred hoop. These past 500 years, our sacred relationship we have to one another has been eroded. Our spiritual life has been severely limited by our lack of connection to our Mother Earth." "Our sacred sites have been confiscated, our people have been prevented from praying at these places. We must again be allowed to access our sacred sites for the continued existence of all nations and for peace and harmony." The conference was preceded by a ceremonial planting of a Tree of Peace in New York's Central Park offered by the Iroquois Confederacy. Story written by News From Indian Country "PLAIN TALK" dealing with the angry child Handling children's anger can be puzzling, draining, and distressing for adults. In fact, one of the major problems in dealing with anger in children is the angry feelings that are often stirred up in us. It has been said that we as parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators need to remind ourselves that we were not always taught how to deal with anger as a fact of life during our own childhood. We were led to believe that to be angry was to be bad, and we were often made to feel guilty for expressing anger. It will be easier to deal with children's anger if we get rid of this notion. The goal is not to repress or destroy angry feelings in children- or in ourselves- but rather to accept the feelings and to help channel and direct them to constructive ends. Parents and teachers must allow children to feel all their feelings. Adult skills can then be directed toward showing children acceptable ways of expressing their feelings. Strong feelings cannot be denied, and angry outbursts should not always be viewed as a sign of serious problems; they should be recognized and treated with respect. To respond effectively to overly aggressive behavior in children we need to have some ideas about what may have triggered an outburst. Anger may be a defense to avoid painful feelings; it may be associated with failure, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation; or it may be related to anxiety about situations over which the child has no control. Angry defiance may also be associated with feelings of dependency, and anger may be associated with sadness and depression. In childhood, anger and sadness are very close to one another and it is important to remember that much of what an adult experiences as sadness is expressed by a child as anger. In dealing with angry children, our actions should be motivated by the need to protect and to teach, not by a desire to punish. Parents and teachers should show a child that they accept his or her feelings, while suggesting other ways to express the feelings. An adult might say, for example, "Let me tell you what some children would do in a situation like this ..." It is not enough to tell children what behaviors we find unacceptable. We must teach them acceptable ways of coping. Also, ways must be found to communicate what we expect of them. Contrary to popular opinion, punishment is not the most effective way to communicate to children what we expect of them.

Julius Good was our sweeper. He was a slightly-built black man. Ile went to school as far as the sixth grade. He didn't remove his cap when he talked to anyone, but he let you know he respected everyone. He followed instructions to the "T' and was dependable in every way. We called him Goodie. One morning he asked me, his foreman, if he could show his wife around our warehouse. He said he wanted to show her how he "brought home the bacon." She startled me when she showed up, promptly at noon. She came up behind me, I had forgotten she was coming. She had three small boys with her. The boys spotted Goodie and his cleaning cart at the far end of the warehouse. All three ran faster than fast, shouting "Grandpa, grandpa!" the full length of the warehouse. The two biggest boys reached their grandfather first, the little fellow couldn't keep up. They grabbed his legs and pinned Goodie in a corner. When the littlest one got there, he couldn't get past his brothers to his grandpa. So he reached through and got hold of Goodie's pant leg. He didn't care what it was, a shoe, a leg, an ankle, just as long as it was a piece of grandpa. A Hi-Lo driver had pulled his machine up beside me and was watching this scene unfold. Then the driver said simply, "There's a man who is a success." Mrs. Good laughed and said, "I've got my Julie's favorite right here in this dinner pail. I asked what his Grand Rap ds favorite was, and was thinking about the endearing way she said "my Julie." "Two big juicy pork chops and some compone," she told me, "I know that will taste good," I lied, not knowing a compone from a corncob. They sat with Goodie while he ate his lunch, then he showed his family around his place of work, and how he brought home the bacon. The day wore on and we did all the things men do in warehouses all over the world. It was near quitting time and I went to the wall and threw the switches that would close the big overhead windows. I saw the sky was full of black clouds and heard the muttering of thunder in the distance. It was starting to rain. I saw him walking toward me in the big main aisle- he looked so out of place. His thousand dollar suit, white shirt and tie, highly polished shoes, just didn't fit in a warehouse. Then I glanced through an open door toward the loading docks and I saw the reason he was in our warehouse. A big Cadillac Towne Car was parked among the semi-trailers, under the overhanging roof. The Chairman of the Board didn't want to get any rain on that expensively tailored suit. "Hello Bill," he said, "You're doing a fine job in this warehouse. I'm told that by all the people who do business here." I thanked him and wanted to say something nice about his job, only I didn't know anything about being a Chairman of the Board, so I let it go at that. I looked out the door, and she was wagging her hand at me, a hand and wrist covered with Inter-Tr continued on page 7 bal .Council �From The Director •••••••• Boo-Shoo! n late October the Arrerican Indian community was saddened by the tragic death of Duane Raphael, who was a victim of violence.

By observing the animals, man can see what someday shall befall man him5elf." As is true with most noble Chiefs, Seattle was a man of great wisdom and an even greater natural insight. His type of wisdom wasn't the kind you could find in a volume of "Encyclopedia'', nor hope to pick-up from watching ones favorite 1V show. In short, "The Native American Way" is a spiritual understanding of life and nature. In recent years the The Michigan Department of Corrections has recognized the Native American Indian as an ethnic group within itself. Even the Native American spirituality has been accepted as a recognizable religious practice. This recognition was only accomplished through a great deal of work and group involvement. Yet according to D.O.C. policy directives, the group may only practice its spiritual beliefs with the aide and assistance of qualified volunteers. Unfortunately, popular opinion of what sort of riff raff and scum resides within the Iron House has greatly hindered all efforts to attract the interest of any outside volunteers. No one seems to care about our brothers and sisters who have been prosecuted and sentenced to prison. Regardless of this popular opinion, those who have suffered this fate will someday rejoin the natural world. They will once again be our neighbors and once again work along side of us. It would be better to have them return with a well rounded spirituality then to have them released with sad hearts and little faith. A medicine man can point out how the animals can show us the way in nature, but when we have no Medicine Man, and we have no animals, then we lose sight of all nature and the world becomes a dark place indeed. The American Indian culture is of such importance that any time a brother or sister shows an interest to grow spiritually within the way of our people, it becomes the responsibility of us all to offer as much support as we can, Let the Great Spirit show us the Way. submitted by Ron Water Walker Jansson '(!L~~~1 .,',,Ttl!~! :Jt~'t:!!?-' H a·:rv~'y]·)\: Jl ~-:irs o n iifi:~: '"5:~i:q _J:1 11 g h 3s~~-~;1:::~enrlct~~~sd D~ ~€\ R J-~:tet'.f:::>.

That means the Father of all that is good where no wrong can dwell . Then it says, "Hallowed be thy name." That means, darlin, that we should love and respect all that is good. Then it says, 'Thy kingdom come, they will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.' That means, darlin, as we fill our hearts with love and the good, the true and the beautiful, then earth where we mow are will be like heaven. 'Give us this day our daily bread.', meaning to feed our hearts and minds with kindness, love and courage that will make us strong for our daily task. Then after that, the line of the Lord's Prayer is, 'and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.' The meaning being, we must do unto others as we would want them to do unto us. 'And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.' , meaning, darlin, to ask God to help us to do and see and thing right so that we will neither be led nor tempted by anything that is bad. 'For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever, Amen', meaning, darlin, that all the world and everything that's in it belongs to God's kingdom. And as we know that, and act as if we know it, that, is the real spirit of Christmas. ''All That is Good." I came across an article years ago. Now it's a beat-up, old ragged newspaper clipping. I figure it's time I shared it's message. The Lord's Prayer is said by many of us, time after time , over and over. Sometimes, I'm sure, it's said so automatically we're not thinking about it. The words are right, but our minds are elsewhere. We know the words, but maybe aren 't sure of their meaning . And even those, perhaps especially those, who do know the meaning will , I hope , appreciate this interpretation. "Amos 'n' Andy" was a radio program back when radios had weekly shows and families sat around radios the way we sit around television today.

Although the native American Indian people in this area have patronized the Tandy Leather Company, we are no longer inclined to do business with those marketing practices include crude, stereotypical portraits of the Indigenous population. What could have possibly induced anyone to print, "Dress up your little Indians." We don't encourage our children to dress up like little Caucasians. And, we certainly don't think prancing around in a tuxedo or a gown and grease paint could represent an entire group of people. Imagine what it would be like to answer the cry of "Trick-or-Treat!" at your door, finding two native American children waiting for their goodies. "Oh, The family of Sarah Ann Day wishes to express their appreciation to everyone for their support and prayers in the recent loss of our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt. Your prayer helped ease the pain and thebeautiful flowers so matched the · beauty of Sarah'sinner strength and character that look!" you exclaim, "it's Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers!" Bewildered, the children reply, "Why, no. We're dressed up like white people." As a further illustration, native Americans wear varied regalia. Each nation has its own unique style, which relays considerable intonnation about the person wearing his or her traditional garments. Thus, we do not wear costumes. Moreover, many of our accessories are significant and meaningful objects, worthy of legitimate, respectful duplication and demonstration. Nevertheless, each October, dozens of young people attempt to demonstrate their impression of Indian behavior. In disgusting displays, they dance through neighborhoods waving tomahawks. Bedecked in warpaint, bells and feathers, they whoop and holler every step of the way. But, I wonder how you would feel if children were dressed up as a Bible carrying ministers each Halloween? What would you think if they rolled and convulsed from door to door, waving Bibles and pretended to speak in tongues? While non-natives grope for appropriate words to identify us and our traditional attire, I find your attempt to peddle a stereotype highly offensive. touchedthe heartsbfso many people ih sd than)'< · •· . ways. . ) .• < <•• ····-:::·::··-:: ::<:>.:>:::·:::::::::· ·:_::<>::.":':',','',,,, Yourthough~ulnesswill always ~rerrierrii)erecJ. ~ •.• speciaJthanksfo tJ1e drufn · for singing ahfa>n()r ~rig for Sarah. · ThankYou; >· · Meg\Vetch . .• .Grand . .. . ... \Ve-wa~Nah! •· >·.

Although you may feel it is hannless to promote your goods as "fun frontier lore," or to associate dance bell kits with "ward(ing) off evil spirits," you are teaching your children that our beliefs and feelings do not need to be respected or taken seriously. For each non-native person who struggles to uproot and destroy personal misconceptions about all aboriginal people in North America, there are those who cannot see beyond their silly fears and prejudices. Thanks to your advertising, these ideas are kept alive and extended to other countries. It's bad enough that textbooks and movies are filled with negative, derogatory and inaccurate images of native Americans, without trying to reinforce the stereotype by selling supplies to help make the fantasy come alive. The Tandy Leather Company has behaved irresponsibly and insensitively in promoting products without respect to native Americans. Rather than soil ourselves and our regalia with your merchandise, native American Indians in this area will take their business elsewhere. And, you can be certain that I will do my best to convince other communities to do the same.

"Tom" Wemlgwans FACT: Once is not enough. A mammogram can detect breast cancer when it is in its earliest, most treatable stages, but only if done regularly. Myth 4: FACT: "I don't need a mammogram unless my doctor says I do." Don't wait! The American Cancer Society recommends that once you turn 40, you should have a mammogram every 12 years. Starting at age 50, have a mammogram every year. Examine your breasts monthly and make sure your doctor gives you a breast examination once a year. Myth 5: "Mammograms are painful." FACT: A mammogram is simply an x-ray of your breast. Although the procedure may cause discomfort, it is very brief. Myth 6: "If a mammogram does find something, it's too late." FACT: Over 90 percent of women with breast cancer survive if the cancer is found and treated early, before it has spread beyond the breast. Myth 7: "Mammography gives off unsafe levels of radiation." FACT: The radiation exposure from mammography equipment is very low, similar to being in the sun for two hours. It is far more dangerous to allow breast cancer to go undetected than to be exposed to very low doses of radiation For more information about breast or cervical cancer, contact: American Cancer Society, Kent County Chapter 364-6121 .Council ~ ~ ~ ~ I ~ ~ ~ ~. ~ s IO Great Spirit, ~ Whose breath gives ~ life to the world and ~ whose voice is ~ heard in the soft breeze,we need ~your strength and *:l wisdom.May . we ~ walk In Beauty.

' But you should have seen that face change when her husband, the Chairman, opened the door to get in beside her. like a snake or an alligator was crawling in the car. You've heard the expression, "If looks could kill ... " That face went in an instant from radiant beauty to a mask of pure hatred. The Great Spirit alone knows what made her hate him so much. Now, let's use rooney and rank as a yardstick to measure these two men: the Chairman of the Board and the small man who swept up. The Chairman wins easily without question. He sits in the owner's box on opening day at Wrigley field, and throws out the first ball. The sweeper sits somewhere in the bleachers, out in left field. He's lucky to get a bag of popcorn. But now let's take another measurement. We'll use love as a yardstick this time. Immediately we see an altogether different picture. I'm thinking of how his wife said, "my Julie" so lovingly. And about the three little boys who ran to get hold of their grandpa's leg. The Hi-Lo driver said it best: "that man is a success." Put that beside the beautiful face that turned to ugly hatred, and now it's the sweeper who's made the home run. Using love to measure success, the Chairman isn't out in left field, he can't even get into the ball park. Yes, it would be nice to have all that rooney and rank, but I couldn't take all the hate it took to get it. I'll take what the sweeper had, cleaning cart and all. How about you?

GENERAL SHERMAN SAID THAT and anyone who has ever been in mortal combat will agree. "Kill or be killed" is the fitting motto. The roar and din of the war machines is something that one never forgets. The strain and pressure on the nervous system is so great that some rren break down and never recover. You can see them in the Veterans' hospitals fighting, in their minds, the same battles over and over until the day they die. BUT EVEN IN WAR THERE ARE BREAKS WHEN pleasantness happens. And how much more these breaks are appreciated because of the timing. Llke a cold drink of water to a thirsty man in a desert. One of these breaks happened to two of our Indian soldiers in World War II. OUR ARMIES HAD LANDED SUCCESSFULLY ON the "toe" of Italy and were engaged in fierce fighting up the "boot" of the peninsula. Our men were pushing the Nazis back slowly, sorretimes yard by yard. Give the devil his due: the Nazis were hand fighters . Remember that at one time they were fighting half of the world all by themselves, and winning. ONE OF OUR INDIANS, ALBERT "POKEY" Shomin, was in a platoon that had fought its way to a place called Pisa. The German resistance had stiffened and the street fighting had gotten agonizingly slow. German artillery shells were in-coming. Enemy machine guns were trying to trap our men in the crossfire. This place called Pisa was turned into the "hell" General Sherman had spoken of. Our soldiers were ducking door-to-door, when the word came down to take cover and wait for tank support to come. POKEY BACKED IN TO A DOORWAY, bracing his rifle. He would hunker down and wait for word to start advancing again. He turned and noticed the door was opened a bit. It was a wine shop, by now deserted. The whole world knows what good wine makers the Italians are. Pokey decided he would put a bottle of "Dago Red" in his pack and enjoy it wherever he would spend that night. The store would probably be destroyed by the end of the day. HE WAS MOVING AMONG THE WINE RACKS when he heard a noise at the back of the store. His rifle carre up in position and he froze statuestill. Someone was moving, and in his direction. His eyes watched intently for the light green of the enemy uniform. His finger was on the trigger, ready to stop one more enemy soldier dead in his tracks. THEN IT HAPPENED - ONE OF THE MOST pleasant rremories in this soldier's life took place. Instead of German jack-boots, the brown combat boots of our own soldiers appeared in the doorway. His eyes went quickly to the face of the friendly soldier; his heart leapt for joy. It was his brother Enos! THEY HAD NOT SEEN EACH OTHER SINCE the States, and there in a world gone mad with hatred, these two brothers rushed to greet each other. continued on page 7 Grand Rapids Inter-Ir bal .Council �From The Director M•••••••• gritc . directors: PRESIDENT- John Hutchinson he Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council, Grand Rapids Community College, and Vet Center <·. • ·•/ ••••••• are co-sponsoring a Veterans Pow Wow .. :Whfol:l\Vill be held at the Ford Field House on the . ~~~p\l§pf th~ c9J!ege in downtown Grand Rapids on · N()v~I1lber}3, 1993:<Jhis is the third year the Veterans . · PdW be held at the Ford Field House. / TREASURER- Andra Robinson SECRETARY- Rosie Holmberg MEMBERS: Loretta Antoine, Roger Williams, Jeanne . .v. / .\ of VICE PRESIDENT- Mary Roberts BOO-SHOO! m m board w&wwm T::~ ;~~~j~ ~'phasis w1;: '~~ 9n the g1£®i/~~: :arrior f The Pow w()w Committee feels §ff{.}llgiy that there are too many veteransoffqreigrJw~i~who have been virtually forgotten ,.

Cooper was rcponing on a University of Michigan study which, according to Ms. Cooper, "indicates that for poor children the chances of dying rich are slim, no matter how hard they work". The number of poor in the United States has climbed to 36.9 million people, with 40 percent being children under 18 and one in four pre-schoolers living in poverty. The anicle continued by stating that boys raised in poor families earn more than 40 percent less than those from middle - upper class families, and being a minority diminishes the chances of climbing out of poverty even more. Arloc Sherman stated, "The impact of poverty in childhood is huge for later life." Where does this place us nationally with other nations? According to the study, the United States is rated the poorest among 27 Grand other industrialized nations as having children in deprived living conditions. Why is it that as one of the richest nations in the world we allow our children to grow up poor, while other nations are taking steps to prevent this from happening to their children? Intervention and prevention will not only bring better lives to our children but will also help more children to survive childhood. This is due to the fact that children born into poor families are more likely to die from car accidents, fires, drowning, suffocation, infections and parasite diseases than the middle or upperclass -income children.

It is the second most common birth defect in the United States. Babies with FAS can have: • • • • • • • retardation small head and unusual facial features short height and lighter weight heart defects joint problems poor coordination behavioral problems WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT, OR WHO WANT TO BECOME PREGNANT, need to know about the problem of alcohol and pregnancy. Alcohol hurts the normal growth of an unborn baby. When a pregnant woman drinks, the alcohol goes right into the baby's blood; which can cause serious health problems for your baby. When you drink alcohol, whether it's a cocktail, wine, liquor or beer, your unborn baby also drinks the alcohol, and it crosses the placenta into the baby's blood. Because your baby is still growing, its delicate system can be hurt by even the smallest amount of alcohol. FAS WAS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN 1973 AND WASN'T CONSIDERED A leadingcause of mental retardation. Native American women are at a higher risk of producing a child with FAS for the following reasons: • Native American women have the highest @•.Grand Rapids Jnter-Iribal • • rate of late or no prenatal care of any reported group Alcoholism among Native Americans is at a death rate of 5-6 times that of the U.S. population Native American women 15-34 years of age, experience a cirrhosis death rate which is 37 times greater than for non-Indian women at the same age. TIIERE IS HOPE AND YOU CAN DO somethingBeing aware of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is everyone's responsibility. We as a community have the ultimate responsibility to care for one another. FAS is 0% curable, but 100% preventable. Educating ourselves and family members is the first step in reducing the number of babies born with FAS and its devastating lasting effects.

It seems no matter what grade were dealing with I always get asked, " Do you still live in teepees, do you ride horses, how many scalps do you have?" and this is just to name a few. It wouldn't necessarily be right to put all the blame on the school systems due to Hollywood's perception of American Indians and also sports teams who use Indigenous logos and do their half time entertainment. More recently I went to an area school and one of the first questions we asked was, when you hear the word American Indian or Native American what is the first thought that comes to your mind. Some of the responses were good like, " survivors, a different culture but one response that caught me is that we were a people of "a long ago". Ahhhhhh, what century are we in people but okay these kid~ are D in the 4th, 5th 6th grades so I shouldn't be to harsh, right?. Although what really gets me is that when asked to name three tribes that predominantly make up Michigan they couldn't name one. Most of the responses are Cherokee, Sioux, Shawnee (are we getting closer?) and even Pawnee (too much Dances With Wolves). So often our rich history and heritage here in Michigan gets so overlooked that I'm even wondering if I'm in the wrong state (joking). BASICAUY THE SCHOOLS EITHER HAVE A choice of making a commitment to their students or continue doing us a crime and their students who are learning from the system. Food for thought: IT WOULD BE NICE LlKE IN CANADA where all their children on the reserves speak their language to have something like that in Michigan. Why can't we? Couldn't we offer a school where they would take language, drumming or cultural arts as well as learning the regular school classes. We can complain, moan, groan about how were losing the language but the bottom line is if we don't do it ourselves, it will never happen. Do we expect the State's school system to adopt these courses as electives, "not". Even if they did, when the state's continuing cuts come around again it will be the first ones cut. So the time where our parents, grandparents were taught not to speak the language, cut their hair and just basically "forget that old Indian stuff' was strictly taught to them through the Government schools, we can make decisions today that will make our future generations much stronger. continued on page 4 Grand Rap ds Inter-Tr bal touncil �From The Director· M•••••••• gritc ············ < >> < \ • oay, ? .·.·.·... <~"N§topher Columbus as a great y§yagegy.rho discovered the New J fl~~~ ;~~~l4~ir~~~~b~~a~sf ~e~a~if!~r;ntly cl'eaf~y q~i¢Jo the W~stern Hemisphq~> for rfChe~i f t.. ·<·· ' Some\V@pper why aft~r 501 y¢ars, Indian peopl&: Jare still ups¢t.Jfpo\it ~e~,~~~:~~1\1i11~!)t~11,,~~ijlllt::: ~~~: 111liist~j611'~~ii d ;~II~;' i's u~1j 0 0 Andra Robinson SECRETARY· Rosie Holmberg MEMBERS: Loretta Antoine, Roger Williams, Jeanne Harding, Bill Dunlop, Rita Blumke, Jonie Abella, Francis Davis, Larry Peshaba, Bruce Trobridge g who has been gla.;Qlgttzed too lqng. r c i s a Levi A.

Greed, the love of money will be the main cause of this collapse. The pity of it is, the white men in charge of this system know it - know it even now as the destruction takes shape. But they are helpless to stop it, for they too are ruled by greed. Mammon, the love of money, is a sickness. A drastic sickness for which the cure is also drastic, and yet it is simple. just turn that love in another direction: love of God, love of Mother Earth, any positive direction. But tell them this and they will laugh in your face. Their corruption is so complete that you are a buffoon to them for not being in love with their god, Mammon. They double over and guffaw with laughter because the Indian calls the tree his brother. They can't seem to understand that the tree is our purifier. That the tree takes the poison (carbon dioxide) out of the air we breathe and puts oxygen back in so it is fit for us to breathe once more. Truly, the tree is our brother, without whom we would suffocate. But we are savages, not to be listened to; poor fools who call the earth Mother. They have cut down almost all the virgin forests of this country, there is very little left. There is no more pure air. The last of the pure air in this country tested out near Denver, Colorado in the 1940's. Still they devastate on and on. The huge rain forests of the world are disappearing rapidly, and still they cut on. Mammon drives them to it. They are beyond rational reasoning.

We will be covering areas from self -awareness, general health issues and of course cultural projects which have always been a favorite of the Young fagles. The Young Eagles program meets for a wide variety of activities intended to prevent the use of substance abuse and gain a better of awareness of our culture. We will also through these various activities build: self-awareness, self-esteem, cultural enhancement and look at solutions to combat issues prevalent among our youth.

In a recent conversation with Kenny Pheasant we had a chance to share thoughts and comments about why the Anishinabe language is so important to learn and maintain. The following comments are a few words that my brother Kenny shared and would like all the readers to think about... ..... "Anishnabemowin is the language of Anishinabe people in this region. There are four different dialects which include the Potawatomi, Ojibway, Odawa and the Cree." to instructor of Anishnabemowin. The reason being because I have the Odawa dialect and when you talk to people they make a big deal because I don't teach Ojibway language but what is important to know is that the base word is the same for all four dialects. When you take a look at fluent speakers from Canada who are Odawa and the Odawa people from Michigan there is also a different dialect but the base word is the same. So we should not be concerned whether it's an Ojibway dialect. I'm a speaker of the Anishnabemowin. I found out that those people who complain can't speak the language at all."(chuckle) to save an endangered bird or animal but our language signifies the importance of our people. The language truly identifies the meaning of our people. If people lose the language they have lost the meaning of our culture and traditions. We are lost in the white man's tongue, we use their language more than ours." Ahow! submitted by Hunter Genia "A lot of people aren't familiar with the language so they're afraid to make a commitment to learning it." "One of things that I am going to do is change the wording on my business card from instructor of the Odawa language A: " Because it belongs here, it's home and the first language of this land.

It makes one millionaire and a million paupers. There is no complete happiness under its ebb and debasement. This country of ours is 4-1/2 trillion dollars in debt, and we have nothing to show for it. Nothing but the paper it takes to write of it. The outrage is that we go deeper in debt by the rate of one billion dollars a day! And what do we get for our billion dollars? Nothing! That's because it all goes to pay the interest on the loan our government procured without the permission of any of us. Listen carefully, young Indians. Can't you hear the cracking of the foundations? Goosanh. Study the ways of the very old ones, qua-sanhs. Learn how your greatgrandroothers did it. The time is coming when you will have to emulate them to survive. I heard a politician say on the air the other day, "We are going to have to inflate our way out of this debt." Read that line again, for it is the death-knell of the monetary system of this country. Their false god, Mammon, is coming apart. But they are too blinded to see it. Let me ask you some questions, white men, from the mind of the red men. Does your system guarantee tribal control of tribal interests? Are its largest efforts to relieve misery and suffering of the whole tribe? Does your system guarantee absolute freedom of religion? Does your system provide for the sick, the old and the stranger? Is everyone in your community guaranteed food, shelter, protection and dignity, so long as your tribe has those gifts? Does your system work for the greatest happiness of the greater numbers? Does your system give each man and woman the product of their work? Docs your system accept the fact that material things are of doubtful value, while things of the spirit are enduring and worthwhile? Does your system set the larger value on kindness rather than strict justice? Does your system guarantee to every individual the force and rights of being in human-hood? Does your system discourage large material possessions in one man? And this one: does your civilization guarantee the absolute freedom of action so long as you do not encroach on the equal right of your neighbor to do the same thing? I'll save you the trouble of answering - no, it does not. These things spoken of are all in the Indian way. The way of life you strove so hard to destroy since you intruded on us 500 years ago. All white men are not possessed by this thing called Mammon. The other day I saw a bumper sticker that read, "Let's save their culture, it might save ours." To these, let us offer the message, the creed of the red man. We offer our culture as an improvement on their own. Even the implementation of our culture to the betterment of all, not the good life of plenty to the few at the expense of all the rest. You will agree that this is how it stands at present. Let us all, red, white, black and yellow take counsel of our creator. By whatever name you choose: Jehovah, Allah, Gotoma, Yahweh, Elohim or Jesus. It makes no difference, for there is but one God. Then we must do exactly as counseled. Then only will we experience the near heaven on earth this country of ours can be. This was how it once was and how it can be again. We have only to adhere to the two adroonitions of the Great Spirit: love the Creator, and love one another enough to show it. i rir t .Grand Bap ds l f'l/!lll , '•' '•/ ' " Inter-Ir bal .Counc l•fu) �·····················~······················· NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION PROGRAM VVOMEN'S GROUP IT'S TUESDAY NIGHT AND YOUR SITTING HOME wondering what there is to do? Well, every week you can find committee meetings going on - the program, finance and pow wow are all busy. You'll find the Young Eagles hard at work making one of their projects or discussing something important and the women's group meeting as usual. Women's Group? You mean there's a women's group, you got it and it's been meeting since April. There are regularly 6-12 women who attend each week on Tuesday's from 7-9 p.m .. The women's group is a self-support group that come and do everything from cultural projects to talking about women issues. The group provides women the opportunity to discuss issues that they face everyday from spouse topics to AIDS and more. The cultural projects have consisted from making mocassins to doing earrings. Responses have been good with people and when asked why they attend responses such as: "learn to make cultural arts", "able to talk freely with women about anything". The women's group is open to all women 18 & over and you don't have to be Native American to attend but the focus of the group will still be on Native women's issues. So don't say you didn't know there was anything going on, just come and check it out and see what you think. submitted by Carolyn Ogilivie Cohen @•Grand Rap ds tnter-Iribal The election of officers for the Parent Committee of the Native American F.ducation Program (fitle V) which is located at Westbridge School was held on September 8, 1993. Elected President was Simon Francis, who is very excited about being elected to the (X>Sition. Mr. Francis succeeds Fran Comix>, who served as President of the Parent Committee for the past three years. Fran served the (X>Sition well during her tenure. The Parent Committee is unique because no other program of the Grand Rapids Public School system has such parental involvement. Also, elected were Barb Shenoskey (Shawa-nos-akih), Vice-Presiden~ I.aura Mulholland, Secretary; and Madelyn Murray, Treasurer. The Parent Committee meets on the second Wednesday of the IJX>nth at 6:30 p.m. during the school year. The Committee reviews the Native American Program and helps to set the direction of the overall program to ensure American Indian students are receiving the best (X>SSible education. SPECIAL NOJ'E: This fall, Title V is S(X>nsoring Anishinabe language classes. Kenny Pheasant will be teaching the Odawa language on Mondays beginning at 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. Elementary aged students will be taught from 5:00 - 6:15 p.m.; High School students and adults can participate from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Other activities are also being planned for this fall. For more information, call Pat DiPazza at 771-3318. The Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council would like to say a K-chi-Migwech to Fran Comix> for her commitment to the education of Native American students. ~ounc �·······················~····················· ALCOHOLISM: A FAMILY DISEASE If you have a family member, friend, or fellow worker who is dependent on alcohol, you many have noticed what an all-encompassing disease alcoholism can be. Not only does it trap the alcoholic, it absorbs that person's family, workplace, and society, as well. Because of their strong emotional ties, family members of alcoholics are especially affected, and often become as trapped by the bottle as the alcoholic is. But there is a way out for the family, for the alcoholic and everyone concerned can play a role in making that happen. GET HELP: Reaching outside the family unit for help is a necessary step in breaking the hold of alcoholism. Family members need support and guidance from people who understand the problem. Fortunately, there is plenty of help available for both the family members and the alcoholic. CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS ,<: ·: . ··. A FAMILY DISEASE: Alcoholism is an illness that bottles up entire families. It seals off the alcoholic and isolates family members from each other and from the world around them. Because the feelings, thoughts, and actions of everyone in the family are being governed by the alcoholic's drinking, alcoholism is more than just an individual's disease, it is a family disease. GRITC is in need of volunteers to provide office support: • Answering the telephone A FAMILY REMEDY: To overcome the family disease of alcoholism, family members must first concentrate on freeing themselves, regardless of the alcoholic's drinking. This requires getting help from outside the family. Once they have broken the hold alcoholism has over their own lives, they may be in position to try to help the alcoholic, as well. There are three steps family members need to take in order to get the process of recovery started: they should learn about alcoholism, understand family roles, and get help from outside the family. • Filing • Typing • Computer - data entry LEARN ABOUT ALCOHOLISM: Alcoholism is a harmful chemical dependency that affects the alcoholic physically,k spiritual, mentally and emotionally (medicine wheel.) By unraveling the myths and learning the facts about this disease, family members will understand how to deal with more effectively. UNDERSTAND FAMILY ROLES: Family members play important roles in the alcoholic disease process. Often, out of love for alcoholic or to make life easier for themselves, family members do things which actually contribute to -the problem. By understanding how this works, family member can avoid being part of the problem. ~rand • Opening Mail .Rapids POW WOW VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO ASSIST AT VETERAN'S POW WOW NOVEMBER 13, 1993 FORD FIELDHOUSE CALL LORETTA YOUNT AT 774-8331.
