Lit.tle Deer wc;_s very very .p•1zz.led. - .. �Slowly, he turned around and followed the trail back home. All the way there, he kept thinking of the fate of the butterfly. It ~{as sad that the butterfly had to die, when Little Deer tried so hard to help it. When he reached his home, he related his tale to his mother and father, with tears in his eyes. Little Deer's father was a very wise man and he said, "now Little Deer, the butterfly was being born or hatched like a bird is hatched from his shell. What you thought was a trap was really only a covering to protect him until he was ready for this life. The butterfly needed the struggle to get out of the covering because the struggle would make him strong so that he could survive J.n life. But, because you . tried to help him in that struggle he did not develope the strength to survive. And so it is in all of life, Little Deer.

We be.lieve it to be an Office of Manae;ement and Budget decision based on cost rather than on the issue of' what's good for the Indian children. Testimony pre~ented to the President's Commission on Mental Health indicates that 25% c>f all Indian children are removed from Indian famiU es for some sort. of placement. The Bill, as you krrow, would go a long way toward eliminating the abusive child welfare practices that have led to the unwarranted separation of Indian children from their families and towards allowing Indian tribes the opportuni.ty to provide for their own children. The Bill passed the Senate November 3, 1977. It has been referred to the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Indian Affairs and should be acted on early in this session. People in the Grand Rapids area and all over the United States should write letters to Congress!Tl{·irl Henry Reuss and Clement Zablocki, House Offtce Building, Washington, D.C.

A NOTE FROM THE NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION PROGRAM In my last contact with you I explained our "American Indian Book 11 project. That was completed last month; so, at this time we are waiting for the arrival of the books. The distribution of them will, then, take place. 4i The staff of the N.A.E.P. have been ~ec I .: P! .:: 0 \.· 1 e l"" C 1tre.:.;. ch, Q L.'' :'"' tVt:'. p:t:::: . whi-:h i s ,~~h.ii:.a. tr SGr~v· :~ . :·.::.-i:.~ ,;·u:- a ctual ~~(«) 1 ~ '~·! . ron Ot.t t - having in-service training sessions through Community Counseling. The weekly ses~ions started in January and ended this month of April . The purpose of the sessions was to develop personal growth, communication skills, counseling process and ~ rai n ing in other skills to meet spec i~ l needs. We all feel the training was worthwhile and hope to meet periodically to review what was l earned or to seek help. i " • • ' 1"' "~ J ~.,' r. ·l c D o . . ~ s. 1 r:- 1 J) : r 0 c :,, n 1" Parent C&mmittee members have taken 'J11tr e ct c .1 ')t·p2v + .. , ,,. advant3ge of the help "The Bridge B<i?tween Two Worldsff has had to offer. The meet i ngs in Muskegon and Lu~~ngton were both attended. The Parent Committee has found the information and training that the Bridce Between Two Worlds had to offer was helpful. 3 �At this time the N.A.E.P. Staff and five Parent Committee members are looking forward to attending the Native American Critical Issues Conference in Lansing, Michigan. The workshops look very interesting. There was no special newsletter from the Native American Education Program for the month of April 1 due partly to the spring vacation. Hopefully, you did receive a flyer which announced the regular Parent Committee monthly meeting on April 12, 1978 at Straight School. The Parent Committee does meet monthly on· on the second Wednesday of each month. Everyone is invited to attend. The meetings are usually at the West Side Complex in the Multiouroose Room at 7:00 plm. You may ~xp~ct a newsletter from the program for the month of May. Since we did not take students for Career Day to Lansing, Michig2n, we <:1re in' the process of planning career dav for secondary students in in the Gr~nd Rapids Public Schools. The Career Day will be held on May 4, 1978 at Lexington School. Students are receiving more specific information through the Specialists. Planning meetings for the Native American summer program have started started. You can expect to be receiving information in the very near future. There have been special meetings on Friday mornings for the Specialists, primarily, to become more and more familiar with resource persons. The person responsible for these meetings is Shirley Collier from the Parent Program in the Grand Rapids Public Schools. She, herself, has given a number of helpful sessions, also. A lot of useful information has been given. 4 Many kinds of activities and plans are going on all the time. We are truly kept very busy. We are hnre -to help and if help or information is needed, do give us a call at 456-4226 or stop and see us at the West Side Complex at 215 Straight St. N.W.

It was in the article from the CETA I Program that we put the Native American Education Program's phone number. This is just to say that we do SOMETIMES make errors.

And while he is new to this position, he is by no means ne w to the community OR the Council. HJs most recent association here , was that of Cnairman of the Board of Directors, from which he re cently resigned in order to fill his new position at the Council . It is my understanding too, that he was one of the original organizers of the Council at its inception. April 3, 1978 TO: Members of the Board FROM: Roger L. Sprague SUBJECT: Resignation from the Board Dear Board Members: It is with much regret that I must resign as chairman of the board. Effective right after this meeting. There was a lot of thought over a period of months before I came to a decision. An aura of quiet dignity surrounds Roger who was born in Bradley, Michigan and is both Potawatomi and Ottawa. ·"--··-----~---"--·-------- He is married to Rita I. Lett, who is also an Indian, but from the British West Indies, and they are the proud parents of five children, Lee 18, Richard 17, Janina 16, Michael 15, and Anthony l.1 . Sports of all kinds interest Roger, and he has been the promoter and coach of a lot of teams in tne arfc:a. My thinking is that I can serve the Indian Community more effectively as Program Director of Employment 1 at the Inter-Tribal Council. I am very proud to have served for two different periods. First as Vice-Chairman for 21 years, then as Chairman for 2 years, 9 months. Watching our Council grow from zero ground 10vel to what i t now encompasses and the programs it offers to help our comm~nity has raade me very proud. It shows what a sound and intelligent board and st~f! working together can accomplisn. We knew that Roger will do great in his new position. Welcome aboard, Roger 1 and much success to you!!! I can only hope that the rest of the board and the Community remembers me as being an honest and ~edicated board member and I can assure you that I'll be the same person in my new job. I am confident that I'll leave the board in competent hands, with a nucleus of dedicated and hard working people to carry on. Yours truly, Roger L.

Native men are portrayed as grunting, groaning idiots who have uncontrollable lust for white women and whiskey. �5. The characte~ Iran Eyes Cody portrays is a passive 1 mindless slave to a white dominant male (Lone Ranger and Tonto image). 6. The woman is portrayed as pro perty of two men. 7.

We are , currently working on Easter f,1rojects. - Outreach would like to mention that there are families i~ the area in need of furniture such· as beds> sofas, chairs, etc. They also need pots, pans and dishes and aome are looking for apartments - particularly on the northwest or northeast side.

Toni says she is the best woman pool player in Graqd Rapids! Now I've never seen Toni play pool, but she sure hustles around the Inter-Tribal Council! She is also Coordinator of the Graphics Department here, as well as resident l~cturer at local elementary schools, high schools, and colleges, which makes her a very busy gal!!!

She then worKed with Ruthann Bailey, as secretary aide for Ed White Pigeon, Director of the Council at that time. Her next job was here who is responsible for that of receptionist here at the Council and then she moved into TURTLE TALK as Peterson - an individual so unique that it's going tobe difficult to put her on paper! Circulation Director. It may sound absurd to say that the Grand Rapids Inter- ies, and leprechauns, and that there is a certain lady the ma&ic ! ! ? She comes i.n the person of one - Joe Ann At that time, Moose Pamp and Kathy Genereaux were the editors. When they left the Tribal Council has an "Auntie Mame," but I think thatts just 4 �about as close as I can get. And we do love her!!! She arrived here as part of a .genie-kit, and pooofed out of a bottle!!! No, that•s not right - she drifted in on billowing gossamer clouds! Doggone? I guess that's not really the.way that it happened, either, but it sure seems like it! In actuality, I guess she just walked through the door, but then Joe Ann doesn't just walk through a door. She-swoops in, or floats in or something. At any rate, she's here, and she arrived here {amidst a fanfare of trumpets?) as part of the Council's Adult Education Program. September 1977 was the date, and I don't think the Council When has been the same since. she first started, her teaching duties consisted of typing and filing, then expanded to office proceeCiures 1 and soon sbe wi.11 until the age of 13. At that time, her family moved to Kalamazoo> and that is where she graduated from Central High School. Kalamazoo is also where she attended College. She did attend Michigan State breifly, but didn't like it, so then went to Kellogg Community College {kornflake U). Western Michigan was next, and that is where she received her B.3. in Education, majoring in Speech, History and English. She is currently working toward her Masters. Wtile at Westernt she worked on 43 plays 1 as constume assistant and make-up artist. In 28 of them, she performed. Since leaving College, she has done plays in Saginaw, Sister Lakes, Indianapolis, and Civic Theatre in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids as well aa Circle in the Park, here, and has done everything from Shakespeare to Neil Simon. Our lady from Never-NeverLand, says so.me of her favorite parts have been Maria (The Tw8lveth Night), Honeyt CWho 1 s a~raid of Virginia ~oolf), and Pegeen Mike (Playooy o~ tne Western World}, under thP direction of Vincent Dowling from Abbey Theatre of Dublin. s.be hcts a few special words to say about Sophocles' Oediput Rex be teaching use of office machines.

The family is very active in the powwow circuits and have traveled many miles. Buddy likes to bowl and says he also likes to take in a r ace or two at Hazel Park. He has been here at the Council for 21 years and is a very very busy man, but radiates warmth and always ha~ a ready smile. As I took leave of his presence, he was immediately occupied with something obviously important, judging from the pensive look on his fa~e, as he studied the papers on his desk. LORETTA YOUNT BUDDY RAPHAEL Calm, cool and collected? That sums up Loretta Yount in a nutshell. Not really, but that's almost it. Here is a very reserved, quiet, efficient lady, who says she would rather stay in the background than be "up front". Never a hair out of place 1 she always looks as though she stepped out of a band-box. She is so quiet that if you did not see her about once in a while, you would not know she is here. How did I get this story? It wasn't easy. Ever try to catch a butterfly? Also not easy. But I think it would be easier than trying to track down Buddy Raphael. It took a lot of tricky maneuvering, such as hiding behind his desk to catch him when he arrived in the morning, calling him on the phone and telling him it was his mother, to tripping him in the hall. I had thought of using a lasso or butterfly net, but fortunately didn't have to resort to those tatics. The important thing is, I fin~lly did get some information from him. Buddy, who is Assistant Director here at the Council, was born Joseph Raphael in Detroit, and was raised in Peshawbestown. He is cf Ottawa decent and is married to a very very attractive lady (who by the way happens to be a Sioux from South Dakota)t and has three children. Very efficient in her role as Office Manager, Loretta is a Potawatomi and has been at· the Council since October 1974. Formerly Loretta Wesaw, she is married to Andrew Yount and is mother to Andrea and Dav.id. In the hobby department, she likes to sew and bowl. But I have a pretty good idea that .she pretty much e'7ijoys. her work here, and take! pride in keeping e~erything "running smoothly." · 6 �/ Indian Center Clerk Typist Parts Dept.

We realize that the people ~ho come to the Council are more important than the forms they are required to fill out.

After a hearty dinner, Jean returned to the airport, hoping that th~ game of "musical planes" would be finished. The prop was still in disrepair, so another plane was sent in for them.

I spent Saturday with my family. But to unwind was impossible, since the very next day I would be boarding a plane with my sister Kathy Bowen, and friend Dora Harris, for Niagara Falls to attend the 10th annual convention of the National Indian Education Association. Could this really be me??? More adventures ahead!!! .SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH. After a sleepless night {I mean honestly, how COULD I sleep'?), I was up and packing. How did I ·get into all this? Well, being a member of the Kelloggsville Schools Indian Parent Committee, I was pursuaded to go by our Coodinator, Mr. Timothy Moore. Departure time was soon upon us. The three of us went thro!.1gh that gismo • metal detector thing, and then moved on, but only after they were sure we were · not going to hi-jack the plane and head for Wounded Knee or the Little Big Horn or someplace like that. "Do you have your tickets?" asked my practical level headed sister 1 (being throughly familiar with the antk:3 of her scatter-brained sister). "Of course I do!" I answered assuredly 1 as I fumbled through my purse as .:. m.at.-· ter of routine. A more frantic effort ensued to locate th(=l!l 9 when they wern' t where I expected them to be.

The famj."l iar image of an Indian woman as a suller: drudge who lives out her days "in a powerless and subordinate existence, is ow:· which was first fostered by wt;ite male h5-stor.i:i.ns and missionar~.l'lS, who inter;);··eted what they f,aw j_n Indian society from tbE: i r mm framework of make supcr2..ori ty. ·:he other less common, bcit every t·i t as persistent myth surroundj_ng the Amer.L.,ar.

It's time to start buying school clothes and lli.D.Jdiu: in with the shopper's at all the various Malls around you. The Northern Michigan Ottawa Association will meet in Petoskey thi:a September to determine the eligibility of tribal members for a portion of a $1.5 million land claim settlement. School's just around the corner and soon all the children will be gone off to classes. Seems like when vacation-time first started, the children were up-and-at-them at 8:00 in the morning, (every morning). But now that school will soon be opening, it's a different story, they tend to sleep in ¢11111:00. Well, I guess that's the way the ball bounces. An estiaated 2,000 to 3,000 members of the Ottawa and Chippewa tribes will share in the money, which was authorized by Congress last year to settle a claim involving an 1821 treaty. The association noraally meets in June, but it will meet this year at 1 P.H., Saturday, September 17, at the Petoskey Fair Grounds. Anyways, I hope all of you had a really nice vacation like the rest of us did. Seeu like you didn't do enough and then you wish that you could try it all over again.

He said the DNR's efforts were "blatant discrimination." Fox ordered the DNR within 48 hours to withdraw a June 15 letter from George Dahl, the department's law enforcement director. Dahl had written every fish wholesaler in Michigan. Part of Dahl's letter said "a wholesale fish dealer is ••• not authourized to sell Indiancaught fish of any species." He also warned dealers that buying from Indiana could mean losing their licenses. The new issue of Akweaaane Motes are on sale at the Center.

Bemis has served on the Commission since July of 1976, and her election as Vice Chairman marks a new trend of ideas taking place on the Commission. Hs. Ilene Tuffelmire of Grand Rapids was elected Secretary, replacing Doris Adams of Petoskey. Ha. Tuffelmire was also appointed in July of 1976, and as with all the other Officers, will serve until the second meeting following appointment of the Commissioners by Governor Milliken. The new Chairman stated his goal while in office will be to chart a new direction for the Commission into areas of Indian concern which are vital to the Indian people. During the next year it is expected that the Commission will phase out its technical assistance role and begin concentrating on addressing the problems created by the Indian hunting and fishing controversy and itelllS of a nature which can best be addressed by working with State and Federal Agencies, the Legislature and the Congress. Mr. Alexia, a member of the Potawatomi Tribe, and longtime resident of Benton Harbor was first appointed to the Commission by Governor Milliken in 1973, and has served as Vice Chairman since 1974. He is married and has four children and has been very active in several Indian organizations in the Sou.t hwestern part of Michigan.

With the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, glass beads were introduced to the American Indian. Europeans traded them for furs, used them as gifts to win friends among the Indians, and found them helpful when negotiating treaties. Indian women soon became very adept with this new found craft and before long, beadwork adorned many of their personal articles such as bags, knife cases, items of clothing, and ceremonial and utilitarian objects. As the women became more skillful, the designs became more elaborate. ~IC MUSEUM HAPPENINGS! er 18 - November 13, 1977 SEARCHED EXHIBIT ON BEADS ro GRAND RAPIDS PUBLIC MUSEUM bit entitled "BEADS: Their Upper Great Lakes Indiana," 3 the historical, cultural, and economic impact of the ead on American Indians. hibit will open to the public September 18 and continue Sunday, November 13 in the apids Public Museum.

Pressure continued to be applied in the twentieth century to the Indian populace to subordinate their own values and cultures in favor of the white mans. Many gave up their beadwork and other skills, but in re. cent years there has been a resurgence of interest .to learn again and retain their traditional crafts which resulted in the creation of some spectacular beadwork. In addition to the display of prehistoric and European glass beads and the vast array of objects decorated with beadwork, there will be a film showing beadmaking and beadworking techniques. An 84 page catalog with color plates and black and white prints of all items in the exhibit, will be available at the Museum Gift Shop.

Ni'CA attacks Deloria's Book In a letter to the Executive Director of the Field Foundation, National Tribal Chairman Association President Joe DeLaCruz said that the Foundation's publication A Better Day for Indians by Vine Deloria, Jr., contained Hmisinformation, inaccuracy and near-slander about American Indian tribal governments and their elected leaders." The letter said "this vitriolic publication plays into the hands of anti-Indian organizations whose goal is to destroy tribal governments and to claim our dwindling natural resources." NTCA asked the Field Foundation to publish refutation of the Deloria pamphlet to be prepared by a writer of NTCA's choice and to cease dissemination of the Deloria work. • • •• JUST A REMINDER! 11 The General Membership Meeting will be held at the Center on September 29, 1977.

"We're looking for information principally," MacDonald said. "We believe they have a certain amount of information and technology that would be most valuable to us." MacDonald declined to identify the countries with which the Indians met on June 28 and 29 in Washington. He said- the discussions were 1nitiated by the Indians and that a statement would be issued after this week's meeting. Among the tribes represented in the discussions are the Apache, Sioux, Navajo, Crow, Blackfeet, Shoshone, Cheyenne, Utes, Pueblo, Chippewa, Cree, and Yakima. They represent about two-thirds of the Native American population, and their reservations are spread over 10 western states from the Dakotas to Washington and south to Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. According to estimates supplied by a spokesman for the Indians, about 8o percent of the nation's uranium reserves and about one-third of all the low-sulfur strippable coal in the country lie under those reservations. • • • • AMERICAN INDIANS ASK HELP OF ARABS Denver - (AP) - Twenty-three western Indian tribes are seeking the help of Arab-dominated OPEC nations to develop vast uranium and coal reserves beneath the reservations. Two meetings have been held in Washington between representatives of the Council of Energy Resource Tribes and six member-nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, an Indian spokesman said. A third meeting is to be held there this week, said Peter MacDonald, tribal chairman of the Navajo nation and chairman of the Council of Energy Resource.Tribes.

To UDderstand the role of Native American women, we should keep in mind the fact that the process of "civilizing" in our country was equated with Area Gourd Dance Society is the process of Christianizing.

In 1887, the Dawes Act stipulated individual land ownership "to such Indiana ••• aa desire it" with added provision for compulsory allotments and variant provisions for particular tribes. Those Indiana who adopted the habits of civilized life were to be declared citizens of the United States. Thia excluaive move by the government did not guarantee citizenship to all Indiana. To combat the government's exclusive move, the Indian Citizenship Act was passed on June 2, 1924, whereby citizenship was conferred upon all Indiana. It is ironic that Indian a have been citizens for only fifty years in the land of their birth! ~hoctaw woman! A person born > identities.

Both sexes citizenship and voting right - ' except •eased and feel the brunt of for those who had received land title under the Dawes Act in 1887. As result of this process called civilization, the Native American woman began to feel a break in the extended family system. The extended family soon was to develop into a nuclear family vi.th less security for widowed, single and aged women who were a part of the extended family. Kinship patterns were realigned. The Indian community soon was to become self-sufficient through individual land ownership. Some Indian women were encouraged to marry white men as a sign of being civilized. The Native American community norms of generosity, hospitality and interdependence were soon to be on of the past. "The End of the Trail", a sculpture that depicted the Indian as tired and dejected, soon became America's image of a "vanishing race." The Native American did not vanish! In 1970, the population totaled 792,7'?/J, reflecting a growth of 51 percent between 1960 and 1970. Since 1890, the Indian population has grown by 208 percent. The 1960 and 1970 censuses were the only ones in which self-identification was the basis for enumerating the Indian population. occupations. Only 9 percent of the men were employed at a professional and technical occupation. For every 1100 all American families earned, Indian families made about '61. I believe that the Native American woman can work and be supportive of a movement that adresses itself to the basic issue of human rights for both women and men. Because of strong family ties, it would be more difficult for the Native woman to identify with movements that were antimale of antifamily. At the same time, she must not allow herself to be swallowed by a movement that approaches her only on an identity as a minority woman. It is a mistake to assume that all minority cultures are alike. It is a greater mistake to assume that all Indian tribes are alike. It would be wrong for a woman who has never shared the culture and history of the Native American experience to define the identity of the Indian woman. This would be equally true of the brother who, in his right to be free, may unintentionally oppress the woman.~ Each culture experiences stereotyping of the woman as portrayed in the school textbooks and media publications.

Last year over 20,000 spectators attended. Moving the site of the Pow Wow to the Riverbend Pavillion was positive as it is a much better site for such a cultural event. This year's Pow Wow is dedicated to all those who have followed the Pow Wow trail and who now walk in the Spirit world. Last year at the close of the Pow Wow, Mr. Raymond Ramos suffered a fatal heart attack. He and his family had spent the weekend with us. Mr. Ramos will be honored at 2:30 pm on Saturday with the planting of a cedar tree in his honor. We are glad that you are part of the circle here today. MEGWETCH! The 1993 Pow Wow Committee 3 �POW WOW ETIQUETTE Everyone is welcome at Pow Wows; however, it is important to realize that the dances are ceremonial as well as social events and should be observed with respect. 1. During Grand Entry, Flag Songs, and Honor Songs, please stand, remove hats, and refrain from taking photographs. 2. Eagle feathers are especially sacred to the American Indians. If an eagle feather falls from a dancer's regalia, a special ceremony will take place to retrieve it. When an eagle feather is being retrieved from the dance circle, please refrain from taking photographs. 3. Always ask permission before taking photographs of dancers when they are outside the dance circle. Also, please ask permission before taking photos of drummers and their drums. 4. The East entrance of the dance circle is reserved for dancers. Spectators are asked to refrain from congregating in this area. 5. The dance arena is for participants only. The arena is blessed prior to the event. In this respect, we ask spectators to consider this sacred ground for the duration of the pow wow. You may be invited to enter the dance arena during the Inter-Tribal or Honor Dances. 6. The dancers' clothing is called regalia, dance clothes, or dance outfit, not "costumes." 7. The chairs immediately surrounding the dance circle are for elders, dancers and their families only. 8. If you have a question, ask a member of the Pow Wow committee, designated by the red ribbons attached to their button. 4 �POWWOW HISTORY The Pow Wow has historical, spiritual, and social value to American Indian people. In addition to participating in the traditional dance and song, the people visit with family and friends, and make new acquaintances. Often it brings together families who may live apart throughout the year. It is also a chance to demonstrate and display artistic ability with the many arts and crafts common to the Indian people. Pow Wows are more than social events. They are a time of learning and carrying on a rich cultural heritage. The Pow Wow has also become a means of providing an opportunity for cultural sharing with non-Indian people. There is a spiritual significance in the dances, songs, customs observed, and even in the preparations for the event. The Pow Wow provides an opportunity for our young to learn from our elders and carry on traditions. In Michigan alone, numerous Pow Wows are hosted by Indian groups and communities throughout the year. Modern transportation has made it easier to travel from place to place for these events. This has established intertribal friendships throughout the Great Lakes. An important duty prior to the gathering is blessing the grounds where the event will be held. This is to insure that only good thoughts will occur there, and everyone will have a good time. Once the ground is blessed it is considered sacred, and everyone is asked to keep it as clean as possible. No drugs or alcohol are allowed on the Pow Wow grounds. Morning prayers are offered at a sunrise service the morning of the event. Traditional or Contest? There are two types of Pow Wows. The contest or competition Pow Wow is one in which there are cash prizes offered for dancing. The dance contest is judged according to certain criteria, with prizes awarded to dancers who demonstrate the best ability in his/her particular style. There are categories for different ages and styles of dance. Traditional Pow Wows, such as ours, offer no competition dancing. These events offer a variety of dances for the participants, and often include strictly-forfun dances such as the two-step. This weekend, we will be celebrating a naming ceremony for a small child, and a tree-planting ceremony for someone who has passed into the spirit world. 5 �The Drums & Their Songs The drum not only sets the tempo of songs and dances at a Pow Wow, it is a very important symbol to Indian people. The sound represents the heartbeat of our people, our Mother Earth and our nations. The drums' circular shape represents the unity the Indian people and our oneness with the universe. The traditional hide drum is made by stretching a hide over a wood frame and lacing the two sides together. The singers are able to control the pitch of the drum by warming the hide near a small fire or in the sun. Another commonly used drum is the bass drum. All drums are treated with respect. Our elders say that when songs are sung with these drums they are heard by the spirit world. Each drum has a lead singer who leads off the songs in his language. Each song has a special meaning or story to the person who carries that song with them. Some songs are very old, some are newly composed. While many of them are of a serious nature, such as the veterans' song and honor song, some are humorous and meant to cause a smile, and help us to not take life so seriously. Singers are expected to know a song for every type of dance. Songs are carried by the singers in their memories and not written down. You will often see a young boy sitting at the drum; this is when training begins for learning and remembering songs. Among Great Lakes Indians, women do not sit at the drum, but they do sing with the drummers, Joining them in certain songs. Notice that the Pow Wow grounds are arranged in a series of circles: the drums, the drummers, the singers, the dancers, the dance area, and the traders. The circle is a sacred symbol in our Indian ways. I 6 �HEAD PARTICIPANTS Head Pow Wow people are selected for their knowledge, skill, and ability to carry out their tasks. It is a great honor to be selected to one of these positions. Master of Ceremonies: John Bailey It is the responsibility of the MC to coordinate the Pow Wow activities and keep events running smoothly. All announcements, information and explanation of events are made by the MC. The MC must have knowledge of all the songs, dances, customs, culture, tribes, and general information about Pow Wows, as he is expected to explain all aspects of Pow Wow activities during the event. He must be "on stage" for the entire Pow Wow. Host Drum: Little Weasel Thunderchild Singers (Shingue-sase) The Host Drum consists of five or more male singers. The Host Drum leads off each of the Pow Wow's dance sessions with the Grand Entry Songs. They also provide any specialty songs requested, and are ready and capable of singing any song requested. A typical drum group may have a repertoire of hundreds of songs. Head Male Veteran Dancer: Simon Francis Head Female Veteran Dancer: Josie Walters The Head Veteran Dancer is one of the most important dancers in the Pow Wow. He or she carries the eagle feather staff during Grand Entry, and leads the rest of the dancers into the arena. The Head Veteran Dancer represents all American Indians who have given their service and lives in defense of our country. Head Male Dancer: Tim Gibson Head Female Dancer: Mon-ee Chivis It is an honor to be chosen as a head dancer. Head dancers are chosen for their extensive knowledge of the cultural meaning and purpose of Pow Wows. Head dancers are very skilled in their style of dancing and set an example of proper Pow Wow etiquette by upholding the traditions passed down from our American Indian ancestors. The Head Male Dancer follows the Head Veteran Dancer and the other flag bearers into the arena during Grand Entry, and is expected to lead off, with the Head Female Dancer, all Inter-Tribal and specialty dances throughout the Pow Wow. Arena Director: Larry Peshaba The Arena Director is often the busiest person at the Pow Wow. He is responsible for coordinating everything which will ensure the dancing proceeds smoothly. If any singer or dancer has a problem with an on-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 the Grand Entries and specialty dances, and deals with anyone behaving inappropriately during the dancing or in the arena. 7 �THE DANCES American Indian dances are an expression of thankfulness to the Great Spirit, as the people dance in a sacred circle around the drums. The circle represents the cycle of life, the moon, sun and earth. The drum arbor, which is traditionally covered with cedar is in the center. The drums are the heartbeat of the Pow Wow and of the people who dance. Dancing is done in a community spirit. It is a time when friends and relatives come together to celebrate with each other. Over the years. the dances have changed to reflect the growth of traditions. You will see two styles of regalia on the dancers. The traditional dancers use natural items and colors, with designs based on nature: the fancy dancers use brighter, more eyecatching colors and materials. Today a Pow Wow begins with the blessing of the grounds and the Flag song. Indians have the same regard for the Flag Song as for the National anthem. All people are asked to stand and remove their hats as a sign of respect for the veterans who have served their country. The dance for the Flag Song is led by a male veteran. The Indian people dance behind the veteran dancer in respect for the elders and the flags of the Indian nations and the United States. Grand Entry: The Grand Entry is the first dance of the Pow Wow. The dancers will enter the dance circle from the east entrance, usually in single file. The Eagle Staff and the United States flag are carried at the 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. Mens' Traditional Dance: Acting out feats of bravery through dance, dancers use story telling movements. They represent an older, distinguished sector of the Pow Wow. Traditional dancers may wear ribbon skirted regalia with beadwork, pieces of hide, and a roach headdress of deer tail, porcupine quills or horse-hair. Moving clockwise around the drum, dancers may interpret animals with side-to-side movements of their heads. They may wear buckskin, a bustle, a breast plate of bone and a roach. What to watchfor: Most interesting is watching the story line develop throughout the dance. 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, or other animals and birds. Mens' Fancy Dance: Today's mens' colorful Fancy Dance is based on the traditional and Warrior Society dances. The dancer's talent and skill is reflected in his footwork, body movements and his ability to stay in step with the drumbeat. 8 �What to watchfor. 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 a slower style to a faster beat are important. As in all Indian dancing, the finish in exact time with the song ending is significant. Grass Dance: Traditionally, people traveled and often made new camps. Different tasks were given to those most suited 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 pushed down the grass with their feet, pressing it again and again until the area was more comfortable to move through. Their movements recalled the wind restlessly swirling the grass. Originating on the northern plains, where men wore crow or sweetgrass braided belts in the traditional Grass Dance, today's dance is like the original because the whole body is used to create free-flowing movements to a slower drum beat than that of other men's dances. It may come the closest of all to imitating the dances of old. Because many of the movements come from the upper torso, grass or yarn dancers exhibit a certain swaying grace and abstract style. What to watchfor: The motion of the bodies causes the flowing regalia to move in a way reminiscent of the long, blowing grass of the prairie. The dance is an expression of the harmony of the universe and is danced in perfect time to the music, responding as the grass rises to the motion of the wind. Womens' Traditional Dance: This dance of honor reflects the women in American Indian society, including their roles as givers of life, keepers of home and family, decision-makers, and heads of households. Some dancers dance in one position or area. Others move clockwise around the drum. Although styles of dress vary, buckskin or cloth dresses with ribbons and shells are often worn. Some carry a shawl draped over one arm and hold a feather fan in the other hand. What to watchfor: 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 clips and sways are executed with no break in dignity. Womens' Fancy Dance: This dance is popular with young women today as a competitive piece at Pow Wows. This style of dancing is sometimes called fancy shawl. The dancer makes her colorful shawl, worn over the shoulders, dance with her. Creativity and smoothness are the keys to an outstanding performance. It requires nimbleness to perform the fast footwork, spins and leaps. What to watchfor. 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. 9 �The Jingle Dress Dance: At a time when there was widespread sickness and weakness among the people, many were searching for a way to restore the health of their community. One young 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 was tied with a prayer. And when it was worn in the dance, the dress made a jingling sound recalling the saying of constant prayer. The Jingle Dress Dance is a dance of pride and dignity, which allows a significant amount of individual expression. The jingle dress is not only vexy colorful, but it furnishes much of the musical accompaniment for the dance. Made from snuff can tops, the jingles may be a woman's answer to the bells on men's outfits. A jingle dancer's movements are more confined and rigid than a fancy or traditional dancer's. Hands are kept at the waist. The jingle dress's tight fit allows the dancer limited movement. What tD watchfor: Dance steps and body movement which are not in time to the music are easily detected because of the music of the dress itself.. Pride and grace are evident in the attitude of the dancers, and a certain reverence is exhibited. Veterans' Dance: The Head Veteran Dancers lead off this dance. All veterans are invited to join in this honor dance, which is a special tribute to those who have served their countxy. Inter-Tribal Dances: The dances are sometimes called friendship dances and are a chance for evexyone to join in the dancing. It is not necessaxy to be dressed in regalia to participate. The Master of Ceremonies will often announce the intertribals, and encourage the audience to join in. The Give-Away: In Indian culture, honor and prestige is not heaped on the person who accumulates material goods selfishly. The greatest respect is given to those who Give-Away their personal wealth. This might be done to announce the change in status for an individual, or more commonly, in honor of a friend or relative. In either case, it is not the value of the gifts that is important. What is important is the gesture. The gesture illustrates the lack of selfishness in the giver, and the giving of gifts has the effect of strengthening and unifying bonds among the community. The person who receives a gift is as honored as the person who gives the gift. The Give-Away is a fitting climax for the Pow Wow. It caps off a community celebration with a present of friendship, unselfishness. and goodwill that will never be forgotten. 10 �HOMECOMINGOFTHETHREEFIRES POW WOW COMMITTEE: Debbie Muller Pam Van Dyken Hunter Genia Jeff Justin Rick Sprague Loretta Antoine, Chair Loretta E.

We were later referred to as the Three Fires Confed& racy. The existence of the Three Fires Confederacy assured territorial control and protection from other groups. It is along these banks of the Owashtanong that many Anishnawbe villages existed. Chief Na-Qua-K&Zik (Noonday) had his village located just north of Bridge St Chief M&Gis-0-Nee-Nee [Wampum-man) had his village located near Fulton St. It was here where Treaty Councils took place. It is along this river where generations of Native people were born, lived, and died. And it is here today, where we honor the people of the Three Fires, and welcome them to share a part of their culture, with the many cultures that will be present today. Treat your eyes to the movements and regalia of our dancers, and let your ears and heart listen to our heartbeat, the Drum, and allow yourself to become part of this grand celebration.

They were handed down from father to son and mother to daughter. The Indians were the first settlers on the American continent. Between 1000 A. D. and 1650, Ottawa, Potawatomi, and Ojibway became firmly established. The Ottawa, Ojibway, and Potawatomi, lived in small mobile villages, continued their hunting and fishing for food. In the south, the large villages grew corn, beans, squash and sunflowers in the nearby fields. The early settlers would build homes out of saplings, bark, and rush mats. They were warm and secure in these dwellings. These tribes made their own subsistence, like pottery, baskets, ceramic pipes, snowshoes, tobaggans, bow, arrows, rope, fish nets, harpoons, wood working tools, and canoes. Davis R.

Native Americans have more love than any other human beings. Native Americans are cool. I'm just happy I have a culture, tradition, and glad to be somebody like a Native American, because if I wasn't anything, I wouldn't have a tradition, culture, or tribe.

It brings back the traditions, cultures, and legends about the olden days and olden ways. A pow wow is good because non-Indians can learn the Indian culture and traditions too. Some other cultures, they are stingy, but the Indians share their cultures. It' a ceremony to gain back our culture.

On these banks the Anishnawbe built their summer dwellings - wigwams - of saplings, cattail reeds, and bark. They did so in order to take advantage of the excellent supply of foodstuffs in the area, particularly the fish that abounded in the rapids. Late in the spring, after closing up operations at their maple sugar bush to the east, the people returned year after year to set up their summer village and to plant continued on right side of this page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 corn, beans, and squash. Here they rebuilt or mended canoes, food-drying racks, snares, nets, and so on. They prepa red for cold weather by cutting and sweing skins for clothing, and by making baskets and storage containers for caching food. The nearby forests, meadows and swamps were harvested for nuts, berries, herbs, and plants for medicines. Our reconstructed village you see here this weekend during the Three Fires Annual Festival is an attempt - amateur though it may be - to pay tribute to our Anishnawbe ancestors who lived, loved, worked, and died long ago on the banks of Owashtanong. You will find striking differences to be sure; gone are the mighty birches that furnished bark roof coverings. We have had to substitute manmade materials instead. But that itself attests to the ability of Indians to adapt and change with the times. For, contrary to what many non-Indians think, Indians have changed and have adapted their life-style down through the ages, whenever circumstances necessitated change. Thanks to the Department of Natural Resources and other generous donors, the remainder of the mateirals used in construction are natural ones. With these we have attempted to revive here this weekend the skills and techniques used by native peoples of the Old Northwest Woodlands for hundreds of years. This project has been a labor of love, the contribution of many, many volunteers. Indian and non-Indian alike worked side by side in a mosquito-infested swamp to harvest the truck loads of cattail reeds needed. Another group struggled together to cut one hundred saplings 12 to 14 feet tall, strip them of foliage, and transport them to storage m water - where they would stay supple until needed. And finally, a third group of volunteers worked tirelessly the night before the festival to put up the entire full-scale village; no easy task using only twine - no nails, staples, or wire were allowed! The volunteers cannot be thanked enough. Without each one's generous gift of time and talent; without their cooperative effort, the Anishnawbe Village could not have returned. As you walk through the village, allow yourself the luxury of drifting back in time. Imagine that you are among the Anishnawbe of yesterday. They - and we Shirley Francis welcome you!

Some drink because of their problems, some drink for fun. When an Indian drinks for fun, it becomes a problem. It's a problem to the Indians because, in the past, the non-Indians gave the Indians alcohol and it drove the male Indians from the female Indians because they were addicted to it so much. Now-a-days, most male Indians are alone, with children but a divorce, because the female Native doesn't want drinking affecting her children. When a male is drunk, he might do something to his children and/or wife. But this too can happen to the female. They can get addicted to alcohol, " that all they want is alcohol and they don't want anything to do with their family, culture, or their lives. The male should act like a man or a father or even a husband and respect the female and the children. But then, we should respect men too. Because to respect men, is because they help the children, wife, etc. Dakota Shananaquet 16 17 18 19 110 Ill I 12 113 114 115 116 117 118 I 19 120 121 122 123 124 125 I 26 127 128 129 130 5 Ottawa/Chippewa Sibley School June 2, 1924 Indian Reorganization Act June 18, 1934 Indian Citizenship Act � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

An Enterprise of Fine Quality Services: 35 South Division Avenu e Grand Rapids , Ml 49503 616-459-7373 -WELCOMEThe Three Fires Pow Wow Committee 1986 Wishes to welcome everyone to its eighth annual Pow Wow. This Pow Wow originated as a honoring of the original people of Michigan, the Ottawa, Chippewa, and the Potawatomi Nations. It is to these three Nations, the name Three Fires refers to. Our Pow Wow is titled HOMECOMING OF THE THREE FIRES. Many of our people return home for this weekend event. They travel from as far west as California, and as far south as Florida to meet with their friends and relatives. The members of our committee are proud to be able to host this HOMECOMING. The Pow Wow has become an annual event of the sharing of our culture, to both the Anishnawbe (Indian) and the non-Indian members of our community. We hope that you will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of our Native American culture through participation today. The event will feature Native American culture through music, dance, arts and crafts and food. As Anishnawbe, we are proud to use this opportunity to display our rich heritage and culture. We hope that the community will see that Indian people are not extinct, but maintain as part of today's society. It is along the banks of the Grand River, called by the Anishnawbe, Owashtanong, that in 1761, in the place where the rapids flow the fastest, that Chief Pontiac assembled members from the Nations of Michigan. We were later referred to as the Three Fires Confederacy. The existence of the Three Fires Confederacy assured territorial control and protection from other groups. It is along these banks of the Owashtanong that many Anishnawbe villages existed. Chief Na-Oua-Ke-Zik (Noonday) had his village located just north of Bridge St. Chief Me-Gis-0-Nee-Nee (Wampum-man) had his village located near Fulton St. It was here where Treaty Councils took place. It is along this river where generations of Native people were born, lived, and died. And it is here today, where we honor the people of the Three Fires, and welcome them to share a part of their culture, with the many cultures that will be present today. Treat your eyes to the movements and regalia of our dancers, and let your ears and heart listen to our heartbeat, the Drum, and allow yourself to become part of this grand celebration.

On these banks the Anishnawbe built their summer dwellings - wigwams - of saplings, cattail reeds, and bark. They did so in order to take advantage of the excellent supply of foodstuffs in the area, particularly the fish that abounded in the rapids. Late in the spring, after closing up operations at their maple sugar bush to the east, the people returned year after year to set up their summer village and to plant corn, beans, and squash. Here they rebuilt or mended canoes, food-drying racks, snares, nets, and so on. They prepared for cold weather by cutting and sewing skins for clothing, and by making baskets and storage containers for caching food. The nearby forests, meadows and swamps were harvested for nuts, berries, herbs, and plants for medicines. In the morning, across the wide peaceful valley came the sounds of black ash being felled and its timber being pounded; the resulting splints formed the basis for the production of basketry. Outside the wigwams, when daily tasks were done, the women gathered to chat as they worked on baskets or other handicrafts. Little children played as they do everywhere and from time immemorial - happily and carefree with toys made by doting grandfathers. Nearby in the shade babies were rocked gently in their blanket swings by adoring grandmothers. Midday found growing boys with their dads, proud to be old enough to learn men's skills that would someday make them full, productive members of the tribe. Girls joined their mothers in the activities that would one day too make their contributions of value equal to those of their male counterparts. Evening found activities special to the close of the day. Young people in love drifted off to talk and dream privately of their future life together. Newly expectant parents hoped and planned for the one-not-yet-born. With smaller children tucked into bedding, parents enjoyed games and conversation with friends. And when total darkness prevented other activity, they gathered around their fires to hear elders recount anew the oral history, folklore, and exploits of tribal heroes. Retold too were the legends of Gitchi-Manitou, the Great Spirit, and of his interactions with the Anishnawbe. Down through the centuries they developed a lively faith in his providence and protection. With the dawn came a feeling of awe and oneness with the vast realm of living things around them. A deep faith in the Great Spirit manifested itself in a love for Mother Earth and in a careful husbandry of her gifts. The Anishnawbe knew that life was good, peaceful, and downright possible only if everyone cooperated. No matter how skilled or talented one person - or one family - was, it was unthinkable to presume that one could survive alone. Our reconstructed village you see here this weekend during the Three Fires Annual Festival is an attempt - amateur though it may be - to pay tribute to our Anishnawbe ancestors who lived, loved, worked, and died long ago on the banks of Owashtanong. You will find striking differences to be sure; gone are the mighty birches that furnished bark roof coverings. We have had to substitute manmade materials instead. But that itself attests to the ability of Indians to adapt and change with the times. For, contrary to what many non-Indians think, Indians have changed and have adapted their life-style down through the ages, whenever circumstances necessitated change. Thanks to the Department of Natural Resources and other generous donors, the remainder of the materials used in construction are natural ones. With these we have attempted to revive here this weekend the skills and techniques used by native peoples of the Old Northwest Woodlands for hundreds of years. This project has been a labor of love, the contribution of many, many volunteers. Indian and non-Indian alike worked side by side in a mosquito-infested swamp to harvest the truck loads of cattail reeds needed. Another group struggled together to cut one hundred saplings 12 to 14 feet tall, strip them of foliage, and transport them to storage in water - where they would stay supple until needed. And finally, a third group of volunteers worked tirelessly the night before the festival to put up the entire full-scale village; no easy task using only twine - no nails, staples, or wire were allowed! The volunteers cannot be thanked enough. Without each one's generous gift of time and talent; without their cooperative effort, the Anishnawbe Village could not have returned. As you walk through the village, allow yourself the luxury of drifting back in time. Imagine that you are among the Anishnawbe of yesterday. They - and we welcome you!

This Pow Wow originated as an honoring of the original people of Michigan, the Ottawa, Chippewa, and the Potawatomi Nations. It is to these three Nations, the name Three Fires refers to. It has become an annual event, of the sharing of our culture, to both the Anishnawbe (Indian) and the non-Indian members of our community. We hope that you will gain a greater understanding and appreciation of our Native American culture, through participation today. The event will feature Nativ~ American culture through music, dance, arts .ind crafts and food. As Anishnawbe, we are proud to use this opportunity to display our rich heritage and culture. We hope that the community will see that Indian people are not extinct, but maintain as a part of today's society. It is along the banks of the Grand River, called by the Anishnawbe, Owashtanong, that in 1761, in the place where the rapids flow the fastest, that Chief Pontiac, assembled members from the three Nations of Michigan. We were later refered to as the Three Fires Confederacy. The existence of the Three Fires Confederacy assured territorial control and protection from other groups. It is along these banks of the Owashtanong that many Anishnawbe villages existed. Chief Qua-ke-zik (Noonday) had his village located just north of Bridge St. Chief Me-gis-o-nee-nee (Wampumman) had his village located near Fulton St. It was here where Treaty Councils took place. It is along this river where generations of Native people were born, lived, and died. And it is here today, where we honor the people of the Three Fires, and welcome them to share a part of their culture, with the many cultures that will be present today. Treat your eyes to the movements and regelia of our dancers, and let your ears and heart, listen to our heartbeat, the Drum, and allow yourself to become part of this grand celebration.
