The Pow-Wow has a very historic value to the American Indians. These dances and gatherings have gone on for hundreds of years. Historically in the Michigan area these gatherings were in the spring and summer. At this time the trading took place and the people had a chance to get together and see their family and friends whom they had not seen all winter. Today the people still gather and hold these dances. They have a chance to meet old friends and to make new ones. They also use this time to help educate Non-Indians to the Indian way of life. GRAND ENTRY First event of a Pow-Wow dance is to create a circle, loosely on the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing a sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief in and continuation of the old ways. Because so much attention both spiritual and physical, is focused on this event the people in front do, indeed, have a great place of honor and responsibility. FLAG SONG Flag song The flag song to the Indian people is the same as the National Anthem to non-Indians. All people will be asked to remove their hats for all veterans who have served their people. HEAD DANCERS Head dancers help set the tone of a Pow-Wow. They lead the dancers and are honored by the ancestors we honor. Respect is given head dancers because they are in the forefront, living examples of these ways given to us. �HOST DRUM It is said the drum is the heartbeat of our people. So too the host drum is the heartbeat of a Pow-Wow. Being host drum requires more than good voices and strong beats. Cultural sensitivity is required to sing appropriate songs and to combine the humor and dignity of a happening like a Pow-Wow. Head Veteran -Frank Bush U.S. Marine Corps Wounded WW II The head veteran leads the Grand Entry with the flag and represents all of the Indian people who gave their lives for our country. He also designates other flag bearers and officiates feather-pickups. The head veteran is one of the most important dancers of the Lansing Pow-Wow. �Traditional Men Dancers Traditional men dancers come first in the Grand March because they do indeed come first. They are the head men, the chiefs, the clan leaders, the veterans, the healers, and the elders. The higest honors go to them because the fate of the people rests on their shoulders. Traditional Women Dancers Great dignity and pride belong to traditional women dancers. Raising children to be able to fulfill their roles in adult life is for these shapers of people. Crazy Horse once said "When the women are gone the people will be dead". When you view the spirit of the traditional women you will know. �Men Fancy Dancers "A modern dance with its roots in the old grass dance". This is just a modern expression of Indian people combining the colorful outfits and fast pace of today with the great traditions of yesterday. Women Shawl Dancers Exuberant expressions of life is what fancy and shawl dancers are. Bright feathers, sparkling beadwork, and expert control of intricate movement. All this combined with personal aura to make these dancers unique in style. �MICHIGAN INDIAN EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING SERVICES, INC.

As I got a little closerJ the door came open wideJ and when I came to myself I was standing inside. I was a host of angels. They were standing everywhere. One handed me a basket and saidJ "MY childJ shop with care." Everything a Christian needed was in that Grocery StoreJ and all you couldn't carryJ you could come back the next day for more. FirstJ I got some Patience. Love was in the same row. Further down was UnderstandingJ you need that everywhere you go, I got a box or two of Wisdom and a bag or two of Faith. I just couldn't miss the Holy Spirit it was all over the place. I stopped to get some Strength and Courage to help me run this race. By then my basket was getting fullJ but I remembered I needed some Grace. I did'nt forget SalvationJ for SalvationJ that was free. I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me. Then I started up to the counter to pay my grocery billJ for I thought I had everything to do my Master's will. As I went up the aisle I saw Prayer and I just had to put that inJ for I knew when I stepped outsideJ I would run right into sin. Peace and Joy were plentifulJ they were on the last shelf. Song and Praises were hanging near so I just helped myself. Then I said to the Angel"NowJ how much do I owe?" He just smiled and saidJ "Just take them everywhere you go." Again I smiled at him and said, "How muchJ nowJ do I really owe?" He smiled again and saidJ "MY ChildJ Jesus paid your bill a long time ago," "God sometimes puts in the dark to prove that he is light." <Anonymous) Submitted by Connie Deason .. �A TRADITIONAL INDIAN GATHERING The POW WOW The purpose of the pow-wow are manyJ but they are mainly held to bring families together to share artJ craftsJ danceJ customsJ foodJ and to renew old friendships, FurtherJ a pow-wow allows the young to learn to danceJ become familiar with regalia and to provide an opport-unitY to learn from their elders. Historically in MichiganJ these gatherings were held in springJ summer and early fall. The dance arena is set up with the opening to the east, It is the area around the drums. The opening is to the east because Indian people look to recognize the beginnings of all things, Grand entry is the first dance of the day, Grand entry is a time to create a sacred circle to symbolize the circle of life. The participants ask our Grandfather and our ancestors to witness this physical testimony of belief and continuation of old ways, Because both physical and spiritual attention is focused on this eventJ those who enter the area first have a great place of honor and responsibility, Grand entry begins with the carry in of our flags, These flags are carried in by veteransJ often times combat veterans. The Head Veteran Dancer will be among these men. It is his responsibility to arrange for other veterans to carry flags and for retrieval of any fallen eagle feather~ during the pow-wow. He also represents all Indian people who have given their lives for our country, Follwing the flag carriers are the two dancers who have been chosen to lead the dances. This man and woman are expected to know all the dances and songs, They must be able to dance any dance that is called for. The traditional women dancers follow the male fancy dancers. Great dignity and pride belongs to these women dancers. Our women are the life-givers. They are like Mother EarthJ so when a traditional woman dancesJ each step maintains a connection with the earthJ allowing her and Mother Earth to be one. The women fancy _or shawl dancers are the last to enter the dance arena. This dance depicts the first butterflies that the Creator placed on earth. The shawl spread while dancing look like butterfly wings, �(INDIAN TRADITION-POW-WOW CONTINUED) The drum is the heartbeat of the Indian .Nations. It is to be looked upon with respect, The term "drum" is used to refer to the group of singers who sing around the drum as well as the instrument itself, Each drum has a lead singer who leads the songs and is in charge of who may or may not sit at the drum. During the pow-wow you may see that a drum has been covered or that only one singer is sitting at the drum, The drum is never left unattended if not covered. We believe that during the dance the drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth and is the central harmony of the people at the gathering~ therefore if the drum is not in use it is either covered or attended to by one singer. No one it to play or hit it. Unlike most musicJ our songs are not written down. We learn them from our elders and pass them down to our children, Like all other musicJ our songs can express loveJ deathJ joyJ despairJ and victory, To those unfamiliar with our cultureJ the songs may sound strange and seem not have a meaning or pattern. However the songs are very structured and follow a pattern. Throughout the pow-wow you may be asked to stand for the honor song, These songs are sung at the request of individuals. The Masters of Cermonies will explain who has requested the song and why, The majoriety of the songs used are called "vocables", This means that instead of actual wordsJ a series of sounds are being used. The sounds are not randomly reproducedJ but are used in precisely as they were rassed down. Most of the sound is from the back of the throat and nasal in tone. A vocable is formed by the tongue with very little lip movement. There are a variety of dances that will take place during the pow-wow. Most of the dances will be Inter-Tribal dances. These are the dances anyone may participate. Speciality dances include honor dancesJ two stepJ snakeJ round danceJ and the crow hop to name a few. The Masters of Cermonies will announce the type of dance. The give-away is an important part of the pow-wow. The give-away is a way of showing our appreciation to the pow-wow participates and others for their coming and joining our celebration of life. It is a way of teaching our children the traditional way of sharingJ recognizingJ and honoring others.

The animals loved the children and cared for them. Wolf hunted for them. Bear gave his fur to keep them warm. Raccoon washed their food. Beaver and Muskrat washed them. Birds sang lullabies and Dog watched over them. The twins had only to cry out and Dog would become alert. discover the source of irritation and set it right or call someone who could. If the babies needed fresh moss to keep them comfortable1 Dog went to Beaver and Muskrat. If they needed food he went to wolf for meat and Deer for milk. He asked Spider to help keep the flies away, And he1 himself would jump and snap at the flies until the babies laughed. If the babies were lonel~ he would do his best tricks to make them laugh. With his duties finished he would set down beside them until he was needed again. After a long time the animals became worried1 the children did not run and Play like their own young, Summonded by Bear1 they gathered to discuss the problem and to find a way to correct it. Wolf arose. "They are not wea K>They eat much meat." Deer agreed. Every day they drank her milk. Beaver and Muskrat told how the children could wave their arms and legs at bathing time. Indeed they often splashed until everyone was wet and Beaver and M:Js:krat had lost their patience. They could also wiggle as Fish had taught them. Win-a-bo-shoo addressed the animals. "You have done well. In fact you done so well that the children never have to do anything for themselves. All babies need excerise. They need to reach for things they cannot touch1 as later they will reach out in another way, Let me see what I can do." Win-a-bo-shoo traveled far to the west1 to the land of high mountains where cloudy peaks reach to the sky, It was here that he spoke to the Great Spir it. Since he was the Creator of the twins arid had been watching them he knew what had been watching them he knew what had to be done. At his instruction1 Win-a-bo-shoo searched the slopes of the mountains until he found many tiny sparkling stones, He collected the blue1 green1 red and yellow stones and placed them in a Pile that gleamed through the clouds. He sat down beside the pile and watched them for awhile. He soon became bored and restless. He began tossing the stones1 one after another into the air1 catching them as they fell back to earth. He tossed up a handful and caught the stones as they fe 11 back to earth. He tossed them up again1 expecting to catch them again. But no stones fell into his hand. He looked up, The stones were changing into winged creatures of many colors and �(Butterflies continued) shapes fluttering here and there coming to rest on Win-a-bo-shoo. Soon he was surrounded by clouds of shifting color. These were the first butterflies. Following Win-a-bo-shoo they flew to the twinsJ who crowing with Pleasut waved their arms and legs at the hovering butterflies. The butterflies always stayed just beyond the grasp of the children. With the butterflies for toys to chase the babies soon began to crawl ar walk and finally run after them. With the help of the animals the human twins grew up and in the course c time more children were born to the Anishnabeg, RIDDLE TAKE A NUMBER from 1 to 9 add 5 multiply by 50 add 1740 subtract the year you were born RESULT: First digit is the number you chose Next 2 digits are your age.

Circuit Court Judge Charles Forster imposed the sentence Jan. 8 upon Arthur Duhammel, 51, of Peshawbestown. A day earlier, Duhammel pleaded no contest to a charge of interfering with a Department of Natural Resources officer. Duhammel was freed after serving six days of a 60-day term. Kent Walton, Duhammel's lawyer, said the release came after the Michigan Court of Appeals in Lansing agreed to hear the case and free Duhammel on bond until his appeal is heard. Walton said that means Duhammel may return to his job as a welder on the Alaska pipeline project. Duhammel and a companion were arrested last May for netting fish in Traverse Bay, When he tried to retrieve his boat and gear, he was charged with interfering with an officer, using illegal fishing gear, and transporting illegally caught fish. Because of plea bargaining, the charges of using illegal fishing gear and transporting illegally caught fish were dropped. He is also appealing a conviction last June of fishing illegally in Grand Traverse Bay. After being originally scheduled for a trial at the . Lelanau County Circuit Court in Leland on January 7, the I trial date and place were changed to Jan. 8 and Traverse City. A spokesman from the Grand Traverse Bay Area Indian Center said that th.is was done "to prevent Indian people from demonstrating" during th€ trial. For years, Duhammel has opposed state fishing laws on the grounds that the 1836 Treaty granted Michigan Indians unlimited hunting and fishing rights. Attorneys for Duhammel appealed to the Court of Appeals in Lansing to reverse this latest ruling so that Duhammel could return to his job in Alaska. They argued that in addition to terminating Duhammel's means of livelihood, the jail sentence in effect would deny him his right to appeal since the length of time involved in appeal cases would mean that he would have served the full six months by the time the Appeals Court handed down its decision. SOURCES: Grand Rapids Press 1/11,14;76 GTBA Indian Center Indian Legal Services: NATIVE RIGHTS Advocate -7- What do you do when you need help for your family or children? Do you seek help from your local department of social Services? From your county's youth program? One Indian mother did -- and one evening had her home invaded by the police, her children ordered about, and her 14 year old daughter whisked off to a foster home. Wouldn't that convince you that there was prejudice in some pretty high places against you? After all, you don't drink, your home is attractively furnished, neat and clean, and your children are well-fed, go to school and dress as well as anyone else's, What is more, your husband loves your children which are yours by a previous marriage. That is the story of Margaret Thomason, Cherokee, who moved to Paw Paw with her husband Rickey one year ago from Missouri where she did volunteer work for church organizations. Her story is only one that many Indian people could tell of conflicts with governmental authorities. Unlike many of these, however, hers had a happy ending. Fortunately for the Thomason family, two new services were initiated by the Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs in the last year. Because of these services Mrs. Thomason's daughter was returned to her just before Christmas, after a separation of two months. Indian Homemaker Aides have been placed in every county with heavy Indian populations. Help came first from an alert Homemaker Aide, Mrs. Isabelle Overton, who heard about Mrs. Thomason's plight and went to see her. She accompanied the distraught mother to a hearing that turned into a 'trial' in which she was accused of child abuse, Mrs. Overton immediately called Fred Hatch, director of the newly-formed Michigan Indian Legal Services Corporation in Traverse City. Hatch, after a trip to Paw Paw and holding conferences with the Thomason family, the agencies involved, and with Elisa, the daughter, became convinced "that there had been another gross miscarriage of justice perpetrated against another Indian family." "This kind of thing has become a national scandal," he said later. Hatch contacted a fellow attorney, Bert E. Hirsch, who is associated with the Association for American Indian Affairs in New York. Hirsch specializes in cases involving the removal of Indian children from their families. AAIA has committed its resources to halting the break-up of these families, (Continued next page.) �-9-8INDIAN LEGAL SERVICES, Native Rights Advocate (Continued) "Both the constitutional and statutory rights of Mrs, Thomason had been violated," stated Hirsch in a interview. Dr, Ray Starr, director of Detroit's child abuse program, was also called in on the case by Fred Hatch, to serve as an expert witness on what is, and what is not, child abuse, He has a Ph.D. in Child Development, is associate director of the Family Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse at Children's Hospital, and is a nationally recgonized expert on child abuse. The December 12 conference in Probate Judge Meyer Warshawsky's chambers brought Hatch, Hirsch and Dr, Starr to= gether with Elisa's court-appointed attorney, the juvenile officer and Van Buren County youth counselors together, Outside in the hall waited Margaret and Rickey Thomason, supporters from the Southwestern Michigan Indian Center at Watervliet, and this reporter from INDIAN TALK, Also waiting was a thoroughly confused and frightened Elisa. From time to time Margaret or Elisa would be called in to the judge's chambers. The hours dragged by as Hatch and Hirsch alternately negociated and rejected 'concessions' offered their client if she would give up custody of her daugh= ter. "I would rather go to trial than do that," she said. "I am not guilty of anything." In the middle of the afternoon, after about five hours of negotiations, Hatch emerged from the judge's chambers for the last time. "You can take Elisa home," he told Mrs, Thomason, "you have retained custody of her." Elisa will also have, according to Hatch, a complete physical and mental examination at court expense, to be followed by counseling from a professionally competent childguidance clinic, Mrs. Thomason believes that her daughter's problems were compounded, even worsened, by counseling from "untrained, socalled 'youth counselors' who subjected her to their experimental programs." Rather than lose her daughter, Mrs. Thomason has chosen to go to trial instead, which has been tentatively set for February, "If necessary, I will take this all the way up to the Supreme Court," she said, "not only for myself and my children, but for all Indian families," "I see this all over the country," Hirsch said, "That is why I have specialized in these kinds of cases where the meddling of social workers with Indian families has so frequently ended with the removal of their children." MILS Coordinator Harold Gould's words, in a speech about Indian legal services and given the week before at the Ludington meeting of the Indian commission, seem prophetic, "The vision and trust and willingness of those who could forsee the great need of our people has paid off," he said there. (Continued ··· i!iext page, ) INDIAN LEGAL _SERVICES: _r,iative Rights Advocate (_continued) Gould in the same speech warned those who would infringe on the rights of Indian people: "Social Services,, .would be more than glad to see us disappear. We are interfering with their high-handed approach at arbitrarily removing Ineian children from their parents, We, on behalf of the Indian people are attacking these unfeeling and indifferent institutions in such a manner as to cause them as much pain and suffering as possible .. ,Every time they want to attack Indian people they will get hurt," Legal services is a tool, Gould said, which if used properly can deal with state and federal institutions in a manner more effective than individuals can. "We are the teeth of our people," he said, "which must tear and rend our enemies before they destroy us, before they destroy our homes, our families, our way of life." Gould also admonished Indian people regarding their obligations: "There are certain things which we all hold dear, things which we must be willing to defend at all cost. We must not permit our children and our loved ones to be ground up by the society in which we are forced to exist." If Indian people do not, Gould warned, then "all is lost; our way of life, our culture and our identity will vanish from the face of the earth," This need not happen, if individuals will forget old emnities and divisions, and work toward common goals, That has to happen if the legal assistance program which MILS is mapping out is to work. It is negotiating with such law schools as Wayne State and the University of Nutre Dame to staff legal clinics with their law students at Indian centers around the s~ate, Without cooperation, "Indian Power" is an empty figure of speech, With the cooperation of all Michigan Indian organizations --and active support of them by their individual members--another plight like the Thomason family's need ever happen again. Then every Indian family can live without fear. -INDIAN TALK staff �-10- Suicide Epidemic WIKWEMIKONG,Canada--(AP)-A coroner's jury investigating the suicides of seven young Indians has been told by a psychiatrist that an Indian curse and a breakdown of family ties may be factors in a "suicide epidemic" on a reservation here. The all-native jury is investigating the suicides which occurred in the last 12 months on the reservation on Manitoulin Island. Another J4 persons attempted suicide in the same period. Dr. John Ward, the psychiatrist, testified in December that one suicide encouraged other attempts in the Ontario province island community of J,000. He said one victim wrote that there was a curse on the area and three persons who attempted suicide believed they were victims of a "bear walk" curse, believed to be cast by medicine men and to cause death. All the victims lived in Kaboni, an isolated settlement of J8 houses. Dr. Ward said all the victims were unmarried and tended to be withdrawn. The lack of friends created a dependence on the family, but the family group was unable to supply the support the victims needed, he added, Most of the victims' families were undergoing emotional or economic stress, he said. Coroner Jack Bailey told the jury that the seven victims were aged 17 to J4 and all but one died of head wounds inflicted with ,22-caliber rifles,(Detroit Free Press, 12/13/75) ****** "There is nothing for the young people to do," said an observer who recently returned from the island where traditiona1s re1d ceremonies for the eradication of these evils. The observer was told that the only "thing going for the boys is hockey, but there is absolutely no activity for the girls," An Indian center for the young people run by traditional minded people was closed some time ago, the observer ~a s ~old, because of opposition from the Catholio church there. (Thanks to JoAnn Carey for sending the Detroit Free Press clipping, and to the Grand Rapids observer who wishes to remain anonymous.) Detroit Indians coarront -11- DETROIT --(DFP 1/1/76)--Charges of racial discrimination and cronyism are being made by some American Indians regarding the operation of the Indian Center in downtown Deiroit, The race discrimination charges are being leveled at other Indians involved in the program, which has received about $400,000 in federal grants during the past year and a half, The Indian Center, which is administered by the North American Indian Association (NAIA) of Detroit, has 45 employees being paid from federal funds, according to Roy Maynor, who has been director of the Indian Center for the past two months. More than 20 IndianJeaders met with federal, state and local officials this week to air their greivances on how NAIA is running the Indian Center. Frederick Boyd, principal of the Native American Strategic Services in Detroit, said the original plan was for the Indian Center to serve as a cul·tural, service and assistance office for the 10,000 to 12,000 American Indians living in the Detroit area. In a letter sent Nov. 24 to the U, S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) --which has provided $200,000 for the Indian Center-- Boyd said that NAIA has: -Conducted racial bias against both white and black "halfbreeds." -Fired at least four Indian Center employees and forced about 50 others to quit. -Fired employees who were pregnant or physically handicapped, -Conducted closed board meetings and ignored the instructions of the NAIA membership. Boyd also has complained that employees forced out of their jobs have been replaced by friends and acquaintances of NAIA board members. John Muse, the outgoing president of the NAIA fundraising club, said the NAIA board has discriminated against job applicants because they didn't look like Indians. "We've had enough problems with non-Indians stepping on us, now we're having internal problems," Muse said. "They are discriminating against their own people,'.' Reggie Mahoney, one of the four Indian Center staffers who was fired, claims he lost his job because he looks more like a black than an Indian. "I was fired because I was too dark --I didn't fit the image of a long-haired Indian with high cheekbones and slant• ed eyes," said Mahoney, who was fired last February as a health service representative. (Continued on next page,) �-12- DETROIT INDIANS CONFRONT (continued) Vince Adams, board chairman of NAIA --a nonprofit organization with several hundred Indian members-- denied that his group is guilty of racial discrimination against people who are part-Indian. "Boyd was a former vice-president with us and was thrown out for too much muckraking," Adams said, "We've never had the factor of color where Indians or anyone else was concerned," Adams said Boyd and other "dissident Indian families" are creating an emotional issue because they aren't in control of the program, Adams said it isn't unusual to have a turnover of 50 people in less than two years, Regarding allegations that the Indian Center has been turned into an "NAIA business office," Adams said the Center, located at 360 John R, has been serving the Indian community properly. He said the Indian Center has started a training program for preschool children, drumming classes, a crafts program, and other cultural services, Hank Bonga, who said he handles public relations for the Indian Center, also said there has been "no discrimination" at the Indian Center. "There is nothing negative happening at the center," said Bonga, who feared that publicity on the controversy could jeopardize the future of the program. "These are very biased people you are listening to." Federal funds for the Indian Center expire next June 30 ' and NAIA is preparing to file for continued funding past that date. Much of the criticism aired at the meeting was focused at the Indian Center's former acting director, Victor Nahmabin, who currently is on an unpaid leave of absence, according to Adams, Adams ,defended Nahmabin saying that "Victor was a man of strength" who forced staffers to do their work, A representative of the HEW Chicago regional office, Robert C. Johns, attended the Tuesday meeting called by the dissident Indians and promised that his agency's investigation of the charges will be completed within a month, Johns said a report will be released to the Indians at a meeting scheduled for Jan. 24 in Detroit. Other fact-finders at the meeting included representatives of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission, Detroit Human Relations Department and Detroit Councilman Clyde Cleveland.

He leaves his wife, Josephine, his father, Robert Bailey, four sons, two daughters, sev~n g:r;-andchildren, five brothers and three sisters. The accident occ~rred on Decemb~r 15, 1975,, Funeral services were held in December in Peshawbestown's Immaculate Conception Church with Father James Gardiner officiating. Father Gardiner is in charge of Indian affairs for the Gaylord Diocese, The church was overflowing with mourners. Deacon Angus Francis of Wikwemikong, Ontario, assisted in the mass which was conducted in the traditional way of Catholic Indians, Deacon Francis delivered the homily and sung the chant in the Ottawa language, Hymns were also sung in the native tongue. The setting was impressive to visitors who had not seen the joining of Native American decorative arts to Christian decor before this. The sanctuary was decorated with pine boughs, and totem poles flanked the altar rail, A very beautiful picture of an Indian Madonna and Child hung above the altar. A striking Thunderbird and the words "Brotherhood, Peace and Unity" adorned the large felt banner to one side of the altar. Ottawa/Chippewa style beadwork embellished Father Garaner's stole and surplice. The altar boys' crosses hung from bone chokers. Communion was given from a richly decorated quill box, and instead of the usual incense, the scent of sweet grass filled the air, the smoke of which was wafted heavenward by Father Garcfuler's feather fan, Following the mass, the procession was lead by a young Indian girl bearing a cross to the grave site in the cemetary beside the little mission church, Mother Earth's setting was equally impressive. Abo_"le. .. the gently sloping cemetary firs extend high up the hills beyond. Below the cemetary is the ever-changing panorama of Traverse Bay. The day had begun stormy and bitter cold, but like a sign from Heaven that all is well, the sun came out as the people arrived for the funeral, and shone until it was over. -Bea Bailey, INDIAN TALK reporter �-14- Dttawa IIde rs PRAISED Words cannot express the tremendous satisfaction and endless gratitude I feel towards the elders in West Michigan's Indian community that I have been fortunate to have become acquainted with in my travels while interviewing for the Grand Rapids Public Library's Oral Indian History Project since last July. Traveling as far north as Petoskey, as far south as Watervliet and all the back roads inbetween, I have been made welcome in every home I've stopped at. The things I have learned, the new friends, and the experiences . -both humorous and sad, I've encountered are memories I'll treasure for life. Their homes ranged from both small and large old farm houses with few modern conveniences to city apartments both poor and modern, from housetrailers of assorted sizes to a few elegant homes. But one thing for sure: the Indians of Michigan are still living very much the Indian way. The coffee pots go all the time and, if it is near mealtime, I am invited to stay. One lady even told me where she hides her house key and I am to go in and make myself right at home even if she isn't there. An elderly Indian's first reaction, when I approach him for an interview, is, "I can't imagine what I would have to say that anyone would care to listen to!" Little do they realize the renewed interest of the young in learning their culture, heritage and history. Wh9 better to learn it from than our elders?! Whether it is family histories, tales heard from their parents and grandparents, pinpoin~ing of old b~ttlegrou~d sites and burial grounds, recounting of what life was like in the old days1 experiences in Indian schools, at Indian wakes and old ceremonies dating before the white man came, every elder has made a vital contribution to this important project. Descriptions of food preservation and cooking methods, crafts, feasts and medicines; of how the men hunted, fished and trapped; of towns that didn't exist then and of those that no longer exist; of the medicine lodge and old Indian songs and dances; and of the rich oral literature such as the Nanabush stories -- every interview offers something uniquely different from the others. Some of the elders speak well only in the Ottawa language. For these I take with me someone fluent in the language. In the Grand Rapids area Joe John assists me. When I go north, Viola (Bobbi) Willson of Hart has been invaluable for interviews. A few of the elders we visited were at first reluctant and a bit leery of having their talk taped; but after a few visits, many questions, much patience and gallons of coffee they graciously consent to 'try it' .(Continued next page.) -150TTAWA ELDERS PRAISED (continued) While our funds are limited and the project's deadline is nearing, the library hopes to receive additional monies from a new source so that the project can be an ongoing thing. We have barely scratched the surface. Another two years is needed to completely cover all the elderly in WestCentral Michigan. Once the project is completed, the tapes will be available for listening in the Grand Rapids Public Library. Copies will be available to Indian organizations and families of interviewees only. This is to prevent the pirating of material for commercial gain. Working on this project has been the experience of a lifetime for me. I'.11 never forgent their spontaneous laughter in retelling a humorous story they have heard from childhood, or their obvious fear when speaking of bad medicine. I find it hard to hold back my tears when the very old, so sincere and trusting, tell me things in their native tongue. I know this knowledge will soon be stilled and their voices no longer heard on Mother Earth. My greatest regret is that a project like this was not started twenty or even ten years ago. So many are already gone. Some tell me, in Indian, "If you would have only come ten years ago I could have remembered so much more." But the search goes on to find those who are left, and to record their precious memories. Each week it's back on the road again, driving many miles, seeking, persuading, then listening and recording, and all the while learning about our Indian heritage from these wonderful people--our elders. -Bea Bailey, Interviewer, Oral Indian History Project G.

The request incorporates four separate funding proposals addressed to four different funding resources: $750,000 from Northwest Michigan Human Services Agency; $150,000 from U.S. Dept, of Health, Education and Welfare's (HEW) Child Abuse and Neglect allocations; $150,000 for a three-year education ~rogram from the Presbyterian Self Development Program; and $5,000 for a health program :f!x.::n the Lutheran Self-Development <r-oTOIJd_--t tB e , The funding proposal to Northwest Michigan Human Services Agency is a consolidated proposal representing the financial needs of Indian organizations in Region lO's tencounty area, This proposal will provide an administrative support capability as well as provide socio-economic programs on health, education, economic development, social awareness, emergency food and medical, arts and crafts, information and training, and the means to operate the Department of Labor's Indian Manpower Program. This proposal forms the nucleus for the growth of socio-economic development of Native Americans in Northwestern Michigan, The three-year education proposal to the Presbyterian Church will provide a full time Program Coordinator(Education Counselor) and one Outreach Counselor to initiate a student service and awareness program designed to keep Indian students in school and to motivate them to seek higher education. The proposal to HEW for a Child Abuse and Neglect Program features a unique innovative re-act system for immediate response to_ an incident of abuse, a public information program aimed at prevention and early detection of potential abuse, and a father-son and mother-daughter togetherness pro~ram to ~elp overcome individual hostilities through group interaction. The health proposal to the Lutheran Self Development Committee is a supplement to the Grand Traverse Bay Indian Center's ongoing health program, It will fulfill a specific need, that of providing funds to pay for physical examinations of Indian women for purposes of research and study, Program planning and proposal writing is serious business with a lot at stake: needed services for the program recipients as well as the integrity of the planner. To begin the mechanics of formulating a program proposal it is necessary to conduct considerable research for factual information that clearly identifies the need. Daydreams and "for-thesake-of-mony" planning show up in the final ~roduct as a weak, illegitimate plan, (Continued on next page,) �-190F PROGRAMS AND PROPOSALS: The GTBA Cent_e r' s Answer( cont'd) -180f Programs and Proposals: .1:he G'l'BA _Center's Answer_ (_cont' _d) 1 A vital ingredient to good program planning is insight, necessary to the development of the most practical and efficient method of dealing with the specific problem. The final step involves the combined talents of organizational management, operational planning, program writing, and techniques of presentation, The total sum of this exercise, if honestly accomplished, is a good program worth anywhere from $1,000 to a billion dollars, Getting it together is just the beginning. NOW you have to find a financial resource to review it and approve it for funding. This is the tough part and understandably so; financial assistance should go to legitimate programs developed at grass root level to overcome socio-economic problems at the very core. Often the need for assistance programs is questioned by the general public, but clear, concise answers are seldom given to support the need. We know what our social economic problems are; we live with them daily. We are learning how to overcome those problems and learning what we need to do the job. We have nothing to hide. We not only invite, but we solicit all people to visit us, to work with us so that we might all live in harmony. We Indian people are fighting a war against poverty and being disadvantaged; we need all the help we can get. Here are some questions and answers as we see them: WHY HAVE INDIAN CENTERS? It stands to reason that you can't solve group problems by talking to yourself, A basic requirement to motivate self development among members of an ethnic group as widely dispersed as Native Americans is to provide the means for interaction and communication within the group and with other exterior groups. The Center functions not only as a community meeting place, but as a resource of socio-economic development information and self development programs. WHY AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM? Because equal employment opportunities do not exist for Indian people, we must have an economic development program. This fact of life was unquestionably brought to light in our negotiations for job opportunities in the Traverse City Senior Citizens High-Rise Housing construction project. Some strong statements of prejudice were aired by the prime contractor and sub-contractors; as a result of this honest communication-interaction (between the contractors and the center), the prejudice was replaced by an honest assessment of human need and the employment of Indian people on the project. At this time, an attitude of fairness and equality exists only with the Tezak Construction Company and their sub-contractors. We have much more work ahead of us to enlighten all employers on the economic problems of Indian people and the (continued on next page.) l l \J need for honest interaction to overcome prejudice and discrimination. REASONS FOR A HEALTH PROGRAM The quantity and quality of health and medical care services for all persons, regardless of social status) depends largely on the ability t? pay t~e bill1 so it is r~asonable to assume that people in low-income or poverty wi1·1 receive less than the more affluent. A true report on the quality of Indian health is not available for public information. We know health problems exist hecause most Indian people wrestle with the absence of health and medical care services every day of the year. We have observed pus oozing from the infected sores of children suffering from malnutrition. We have talked to and helped the sick and hungry. The research for facts concerning Indian health and medical care will be undertaken as a primary goal of the Grand Traverse Bay Indian Center's program of the next fiscal year, April 1976-March 1977, But fact-finding does not cure today's needs, thus our proposal for an Emergency Food and Medical program. POLITICAL AWARENESS PROGRAM The time has come for non-reservation Indian people to become involved in the functions of government. The time of standing on the sidelines watching the rest of the world go by must end. Therefore, we have proposed a Political Awareness Program to take advantage of the presidential election year to learn how we elect a president, how the government functions, and how we can relate to that government. This is a time for learning. WHY AN EDUCATION PROGRAM? Most non-Indian people believe that all Native Americans are eligible for free education from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. THIS IS NOT TRUE! Only reservation tribal groups are elegible by public law to pursue higher education or technical training at the expense of the Federal Government. Non-reservation Indian people must fend for themselves, This fact coupled with racial prejudice and socio-economic problems seriously jeopardizes the chances of our youth to stay in school and to aspire to higher education. We are working diligently to find ways to overcome these problems. If granted, the funding from the Presbyterian church will provide a full-time Indian education counseling service, a central education information resource, an administrative service to assist in filing grant and/or college entrance applications, and an al-grade-level awareness program.

My chief critic who wrote INDIAN TALK last month has made some wild accusations, but I understand them within his context of proving that not all anthropologists are "enemies," And he is exactly correct! As someone once said in a December editorial long ago, "Yes, Virginia, there are" good anthropologists. To learn more about these good guys and the Indian wa:y of life in the past I hope 'Virginia' (my critic) and all of our readership will read this article and the ones to come to become better acquainted with the Indian world, If, in this article, I have omitted an area of interest to the readers, please let the editor know and I can direct you to resources in later articles, R.H. Where do you start? What sources of Indian history exist? What have historians, anthropologists, and sociologists said about the Indian tradition? Where does one go to find information about a certain tribe or a certain locality? Part of the problem of studying the Native American is that answers to these and other questions are difficult to find. Another huge part of the problem is that much of all Indian tradition is an oral one; that is, the old morals, skills and philosophies have been passed from one generation to the next through oral tales, stories and legends, Many of these oral traditions are now lost or so altered by the twentieth century as to be useless to the historian. Yet a third problem area in the study of the Native American's past is the different types of treatment research and purpose which various historians and anthropologists have in conducting their study. I wish to emphasize the historic tradition and suggest some readings in the following areas: (1) archaeology of Native Americans, ( 2) their art, ( J) their hi story, ( 4) Great Lakes tribes, and (5) contemporary Native American literature. Since our space is so small I will be highly selective and choose a diversity of resources. I have tried to choose selections easily available in a public library. For those interested in archaeology of North American Indians there are many sources. An excellent and unbiased survey of archaeological developments Is G, Willey and J. Sabloff's A History of American Archaeology (1974). Another good work is G. Quimby's Indian Life in the Upper Great Lakes 11,000 B.C. to A.D. 1800. (Continued on next page) �-23- -22SOURCES FOR NATIVE AMERICANS (continued) Local archaeology is treated in J. Fitting's The Archaeology of Michigan (1970). For a totally different culture read R. Silverbury's Mound Builders of Ancient America (1968). Works on Native American art abound and for those interested in seeking insights into Indian life (whether they be Indian or non-Indian) the following books are useful: L. Appleton's Indian Art of the Americas (1950); F. Dockstader's Indian Art in America (1954); N. Feder's American Indian Art (1965). For more detailed information on a local art form see A. Skinner, Material Culture of the Menomini (1921), and Carrie A. Lyford, Ojibwa·crafts (1943). Also very useful are Frances Densmore's works: Chippewa Music, Vols, I (1910) and II (1913), and Chippewa Customs (1929), For art forms outside the Midwest see H. Carlto, fopi Kochina Dolls (1959); L. Morgon, The Ho-de-no-sou-nee 1901), For mythology and religion see P. Hamlyn, North American Indian Mythology (1965A R. Underhill, Red Man's Religion (1965); and V. Deloria, Jr., God is Red (1974). Be sure to compare non-Indian Underhill to Deloria. Most of the history of Indians which is published is by non-Indians and focuses only on the nineteenth century during the Indian wars. Of course non-Indians are probably capable of writing history as well as Indians but their emphasis is unbalanced. Some of the following selections will help correct this. w. Washburn's The American Indian and the U.S.: A Documentary Record (1973), in four volumes, is hard to read but worth it. For early history of this area see W. Kinietz, The Indians of the Western Great Lakes 1615-1760. For a general history with Indian legal rights explained see J. Wise and V. Deloria, Jr., The Red Man in the New World Drama. To see how the history textbooks have treated the Indians see Textbooks and the American Indian, published by the American Indian Historical Society. Works on the various tribes of the Great Lakes area are often scarce. (Later in this series we will talk more about the Great Lakes Agency of the B.I.A. and why so much of the local history was lost,) Many local Indian organizations, tribal councils, and reservations are doing a good job of preserving their history; however, I will emphasize below only the general sources with which you can begin your studies. W. Kubiak, Great Lakes Indians: A Pictorial Guide (1970) is by a local authority but not greatly informative. On art the Flint Institute of Art's Art of the Great Lakes Indians is good. Indian author G. Kurath's Michigan Indian Festivals is fair but not scholarly. P. Radin, The Winnebago Tribe (1970); F. Keesing, The Menominee Indians of Wisconsin (1971); H. Hickerson, The Chippewa and Their Neighbors (1970); and E. Greenman, .The Indians of Michigan -- all cover aspects of local ethnohistory. Unfortunately, none of these are as complete as one would like. (Continued on next page.) SCURCES FOR NATIVE AMERICA.NS (continued) Contemporary Native American literature abounds and is responsible for much of the current interest in Indians, Rather than list here many of the more popular works I have listed less familiar ones in order to present the readers with variety. For example, see F. Turner, ed., The Portable North American Indian Reader (1973), See M. Szasz, Education 7 and the American Indian. On reservation life see S, Levitan and B. Hetrick, Big Brother's Indian Program (1971)1 and s. Levitan and W.B. Johnston, Indian Giving: Federal Programs for Native Americans (1975), R. Mordock, The Reformers and the American Indian (1971) is an excellent book on attempts by whites to better the Indian. Another interesting topical book is V. Vogel, American Indian Medicine (1970). One of the best Indian fiction works is James Welch, Winter in the Blood. By no means will this list tell you all you need to know. Many contemporary works had to be omitted due to space. But this will give you a start on the road toward educating yourself and properly celebrating the deca-millennium. Last year the Bureau of Indian Affairs spent over $JOO,OOO for "celebrations" of the Bicentennial; they are expected to spend as much in 1976. Perhaps local Indian groups could secure BIA money to creat "reading clubs" where these and other Native American sources are studied, Remember, many Americans will celebrate their bicentennial by purchasing a plastic liberty bell, ·TROT " ON OVER ••• BARGAINS OF ALL KINDS!!!

For nearly half-a-decade, we have watched a succession of speakers tell us that next year will be the "Year of the Indian," The hopefulness that once sparked a renewal of culture and the desire of many young Indians to force the Government to live up to its promises now seems tarnished. Alcatraz was six years ago in November, Wounded Knee is now nearly two-and-a-half years ago, and the occupation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs has been over three years, We have all grown older -- but damn few of us have grown any wiser. In 1971, at the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) convention in Reno, a resolution was proposed which would have created a new coalition of the four major organization in Indian Affairs -- the NCAI, the National Tribal Chairmen's Association (NTCA), the National Indian Youth Council (NIYC) and the American Indian Movement (AIM). This coalition was to share strategy, discuss problems of mutual concern, and discover ways to get the Federal Government to provide adequate services to all Indians, At that convention, Robert Robertson, then leaving his post ~n Spiro Agnew's vice-presidential office) as director of the National Council of Indian Opportunity (NCIO), very cleverly introduced the idea that the "urban" and "nonfederally recognized" Indians were trying to"take over" Indian affairs. Indian politicians seized on that idea as an excuse to further their own ambitions, and Indian affairs has been the scene of incredibl(e) bloodletting ever since. The rejection o(f) urban Indians and non-federal Indians is only conceivable if one is willing to overlook the oppression suffered by Indians in the course of American history, and if one is further capable of pretending that Indians have no responsibility for each other. WHERE WERE THE RESERVATION LEADERS? In other words, if Indians act exactly like whites, with their only goal being that of preserving some fancied status for their special interest group and beating out everyone else, then they will have no concern for others not in their group. But how did urban Indians get into the cities? Well, the Government had a relocation program that took hundreds and hundreds of families away from their reservation into the cities where they were dropped to fend for themselves, In spite of the many accusations made by present reservation leaders against "urban Indians", have the "urban Indians" every acted tough and called the reservation leaders to account? Have they asked the NCAI and others where they were when families were being shipped off to the cities? Have (Continued on next page) The Future of Indians (continued) .,, they ever demanded of the reservation leadership why they did nothing to stop such a program? The same holds true with the present "non-federally recognized" peoples. Can anyone seriously believe that all Indians who once lived on the Atlantic coast were either killed or moved west? Some of the Indian communities in the East lived in small out-of-the-way places, and the tide of white settlement simply moved right past many of them, leaving them as isolated groups without any contact with either other Indians, or with white society as a whole, It has only been in recent years that some of these communities have come out from their self-imposed isolation to try and establish some kind of relationships with other Indians, In this effort, they have tragically suffered rejection by western Indians who have little or no knowledge of the oppressions of other groups of Indians in American history, Under the present criteria used by the NCAI to deny rights to eastern Indians, i.e., that they have not preserved their language, culture, etc., there would be a serious reduction in the number of real Indians in the West if such criteria were applied equally to the western Indians, Just imagine taking those same criteria and applying them on an individual basis to the present crop of Indian leaders. How many really fluently speak their own tribal language, practice their traditional religion, and preserve specifice tribal customs? It would be far different if such criteria were applied on an individual basis to the Indians in the BIA, NCAI, or any of the present organizations in Indian affairs, It would be far easier to apply the criteria and make up the short list of those present Indian leaders who do meet the criteria. The prsent stance of many tribes is that no other groups of Indians should be recognized for federal rights (and federal dollars,),,,,, Indians have survived over four centuries of oppression, but it is doubtful if we can survive even one generation of plentiful federal dollars being distributed to us with the only stipulation that we reject other Indians in order to get those dollars, My god, just how large a percentage of education funds are going to eastern Indians when one considers that the total federal expenditure on Indians now app:rioaches some half-billion dollars a year, and that the vast majority of those funds goes to neither federal nor non-federal Indians, but to bureaucrats who work to keep both groups off-balance? When future historians write about Indians in the Twentieth Century, what are they going to say? That for a time, it seemed as if Indian culture and values were returning, but a fierce struggle over political status and a determination of some Indians to deprive other Indians of any recognition at all led to the dispersion of Indian energies and generated such bitterness that when the time came for Indians to confront the major crisis of that century,(continued next page) �-27- f Ide ral-ln.dian Rel:ationships -26The Future of Indians (continued) they had all destroyed each other and there was really no one left to keep things together.

Indians SERVE Coalition The Coalition of Indian Controlled School Boards (CICSB) now has Michigan Indian representation, reports Arnold Sowmick, an attendee of its January conference in Denver. Sowmick represents the Mount Pleasant area on the Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs, Gloria McCullough of the Hannahville Potawatomi Reservation in the Upper Peninsula was elected vice president of CIC SB, according to Sowmick, That reservation recently opened its own school. Elected to the CICSB Ad Hoc committee for rewriting the by-laws was Beatrice LaBine, president of the Michigan chapter of the North American Indian Women's Association, Other newly elected officers of CICSB are President Sylvester Knows-Gun, Montana, and Secretary/Treasurer Frances LeMay, Wisconsin, William Demeret, deputy commissioner for the U.S. Office of Indian Education spoke at the meeting, says Sowmick, AN Historical Review by D'Arcy McNickle The single greatest obstacle standing in the way of a constructive Indian policy has been the insistence by government, and by private agencies engaged in Indian work, that Indians cannot act wisely in their own best interests. It has not been the trusteeship restrictions of Indian property that kept tribes and individuals in a state of dependency -though this is often alleged. Rather, it has been the universal assumption that the Indian people as a race have not reached a state of maturity capable of .making sound decisions. EARLY EUROPEAN OBSERVATIONS Columbus, in reporting to the Spanish monarchs on his first voyage to the West Indies, declared: "No request of anything from them is refused, but they rather invite acceptance of what they possess, and manifest such a generosity that they would gi.ve away their own hearts." Fur traders who were among the first Europeans to have close contact with Indians in their native homelands, were also among the first to observe the deterioration of tribal society under the impact of trade rum, imported disease, and the loss of old skills in fashioning weaponry and subsistence tools! These observations confirmed the opinion held by many in the early contact period, that the native American was an inferior human species destined to disappear before the advance of civilization. EARLY AMERICAN GOODWILL At the close of the Revolutionary War as the new nation was coming into being, some leaders in and out of the developing government urged the extermination of Indian tribes as the simplest way of settling land title plaims. More prudent men, among them Henry Knox, first Secretary of War and the first Federal official charged with the conduct of Indian affairs, and President Washington himself, rejected the suggestion in favor of what Knox referred to as a "liberal system of justice," This view prevailed, and the practices that flowed from it resulted in a people-to-people relationship characterized by treaties of peace and friendship. 1830s: DETERIORATION OF GOODWILL POLICY The pressures of national expansion soon eroded away the goodwill policy of those first years, The Removal Act of 1830, strongly supported by President Jackson, resulted in the forceful expulsion of all tribes east of the Mississippi, in spite of solemn treaties, some of which were signed by President Washington, protecting Indian land titles, (Continued on next page) �-28- -29FEDERAL-INDIAN RELATIONSHIPS1 An Historical Review (Cont'd) FEDERAL-INDIAN RELATIONSHIFS: An Historical Review( cont'd) Treaty-making soon degenerated into a cynical device for divesting Indian tribes of their land holdings. As early as 1826 Andrew Jackson referred to the treaty process as "an absurdity," By 1871 this sentiment became so pronounced in Congress that the lawmakers, by attaching a rider to an appropriation act, officially ended the historic people-topeople relationship, This was done through a rider to the Appropriation Act of March 3, 1871, which provided for the termination of treaty-making with Indian tribes, This, however, did not stop treating with Indians by agreement. Needless to say, no Indians were called upon to express their views in the matter, 1870s: CONGRESSIONAL INTERFERENCE IN INDIAN AFFAIRS The practical effect of declaring Indian tribes incompetent to enter into treaty relations with the United States was to bring them within the legislative reach of Congress, Until then there had been minimum interference in the internal working of the Indian community, which followed traditional pTactices in the use of land, in social organizations and in outlook. But now, with the assertion of Congressional authority over local decision-making, attitudes of racial and cultural superiority became crucial, POLICY THRUSTS OF LATE 19TH CENTURY, Assimilation The underlying assumption that the Indian people would disappear, either because of excessive death rates or because the Indian identity would be absorbed in the general society, resulted in two policy thrusts. On the one hand, strong measures were adopted to speed up the rate of assimilation: off-reservation boarding schools were put into operation, where Indian children were forbidden to seak a tribal language and where training was directed toward a labor market away from the Indian community; Indian ceremonies and religious practices were discouraged or forbidden outright; community self-government was largely destroyed by transferring decision-making to a reservation superintendent employed by the Federal Government, Transfer of Indian Lands The other policy component had to do with the transfer of tribal land holdings to the public domain, Population statistics of the last half of the nineteenth century indicated that, indeed, the Indian race was declining in numbers, seemingly bearing out the prediction of an inferior physical stock destined to disappear. The last half of the century was also a period of extraordinary national growth, spurred by the offering of "free" public land and by such spectacular events as the discovery of gold in California and the Rocky Mountains. But while their numbers declined, the tribes west of the Mississippi River still controlled a vast empire of land, consisting of rich river bottoms, (continued next page) great areas of timber and grazing land, and fabulous mineral wealth. The adoption of the General Allotment Act in 1887 was designed to promote both of these policy coordinates; it would speed up assimilation by individualizing land h?ldings and nullifying tribal cohesiveness, and it would provide a legal means by which non=Indians could acquire Indian land. Within fifty years of the adoption of that legislation, 90 million acres of tribal land were transferred out of Indian ownership. 1920s1 TRAGIC FINDINGS OF THE MERIAM REPORT When Lewis Meriam and associates surveyed Indian conditions in 1926, the Indian community was in shambles; thousands of Indians were landless and homeless; they lacked capital funds for developing their remaining resources; they were untrained for survival in an industrialized world, they were burdened with poor health -- and yet, by some miracle, they were increasing in numbers, In spite of certain acknowledgaibenefits derived from legislation and changes in policy recommended by the Meriam report, many of these conditions remain today, The admirable objectives and goals were to meet with bureaucratic resistance and vacillating Congressional policy. The grave weakness of the Meriam Report was that it ignored the wishes of the Indian people, The BIA has undergone many reorganizations, always with the hope of f -i nding what might be considered the right combination for success, but it has yet to define its goals in terms of the Indian desire to remain Indian with the trained capacity to survive in the American way of life. 1930s1 THE COLLIER ERA During the Collier era Indians were encouraged to direct their own planning, with technical aid given in support of efforts where Indian skills were not yet available or developed, Emphasis was placed on re-acquiring land, establishing credit for economic development in such pursuits as agriculture, forestry or grazing, and the construction of community educational centers, The children's formal classes aroused adult interest and soon developed into Adult Education programs, Home demonstration agents worked with women in home living classes and adult classes were conducted in spoken English, reading and writing, The BIA in this era, as an educational institution, met with widespread acceptance and considerable success, 1950s1 POLICY OF TERMINATION: "SINK OR SWIM" The success of this program was soon interpreted as a way to cut off Federal aid and force Indians into a sink-orswim self-sufficiency. A policy of terminating Federal responsibility and technical assistance followed in the 1950s, (Continued next page) �-JOFEDERAL-INDIAN RELATIONSHIPS: An Historical Review (cont'd) The Menominee case stands as a monument to a group of people who found themselves in serious difficulty because of their inability to cope with non-Indian imposed conditions. It also demonstrated the tragic shortsightedness of any pol• icy imposed from the outside without the concurrence and acceptance of the people affected. 1960s: RISE OF SELF-DETERMINATION Idleness, lack of opportunity, discouragement with social and economic development promoted revolt, Without violence a strong protest was attempted in 1961 at the American Indian Chicago Conference, where the Indian voice was presented in a formal statement to President John F. Kennedy, and whose main policy thrust later was to be titled more formally, "self-determination." Many requests to exercise self-determination were refused or unanswered at a time when demonstrations were drawing attention at the national level for labor unions, Blacks, and other minorities and oppressed peoples of society. Hence the question, why not Indians? Recognizing the need for policy changes attempted in the John F. Kennedy era, Lyndon B. Johnson promoted a policy of general social reform which included Indians. President Nixon announced a clear policy which has yet to be made fully effective. The shake-up requested was at the top where expressed objectives and policies of Indian participation were flooding the air. These paper policies were without specific organizational support, and were not accompanied by procedural changes. There was no attempt to implement the new policy by the second level of executives who were still convinced that they were the only ones who could provide the proper answers. Paternalism, therefore, still exists. 1970s: WORK OF INDIAN POLICY REVIEW COMMISSION Now our task becomes even clearer. And because of the Act establishing this (Indian Policy Review) Commission with its expressed requirement for Indian participation, we here today are about to apply "Indian Self-Determination without Termination" at the highest level of government. We now have the opportunity to direct the development of Indian policy through legislation which results from Commission recommendations. Among our goals we should require the Executive Brancru 1) to develop an organizational structure and prescribe procedures to accomplish the policy objectives desired by Indian~ 2) to delegate the proper authority to Indian tribes to conduct their own programs, J) to utilize the services of Indian organizations and professionals and, 4) to secure at the same time the maximum degree of protection for the trust status and sovereign rights of Indian tribes. * * * * * * * * * (EDITOR·s NOTE: D'Arcy McNickle, a Blackfoot, is director of the Center for the History of the American Indian at Newberry Library, Chicago, and an eminent anthropologist/author of books and articles on Native Americans.) lditorial 1. 2, J. 4. 5. 6. -31- FOURTEEN WAYS TO KILL "INDIAN TALK" (or any organization!)

"This song is exactly how I feel about my people," says the Chief who won an Academy Award nomination for his role with Dustin Hoffman in "Little Big Man," Sponsored by the Utah Navajo Development Council, the record is designed to make a statement on the Native American way of life, utilizing the medium of contemporary music blended with traditional sounds, "We have made our statement in a language understood by all -- a language of music," says Grant Williams (Comanche), an executive producer on the album. Navajo singer/composer Arliene Nofchissey Williams composed original music for the album. She also performs with Chief Dan George on the record, "I named 'Chief's Lament' especially for Chief Dan George," says Mrs, Williams. "He told me the song is a genuine reflection of his life and feelings." The record blends the Chief's magnificent speaking voice with Mrs. William's singing voice which has made her famous on her "Go My Son" album and other records in recent years. Also singing on the record is Rick Brosseau of Mohawk/ Iriquois descent. The album, recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, contains ten different songs about the American Indian values and way of life. Included is a song called "The Eagle and the Hawk" written by popular artist John Denver. The records are not available in stores, but are being sold only through direct mail orders.

FRIENDSHIP WAS THE THEME OF THE 12TH ANNUAL POW WOW of ! the Grand Valley American Indian Lodge that took pl.ace Sept. 15 on the ·tree-ehaded lmolle of Townsend Park. Months ot planning by dedicated lodge membere turned this year'e into a truly memorable pow wow. Since the :founding o:f the lodge in 1960 each anniversary ie celebrated by the pow wow. This year the GREAT LAKES INDIAN YOUTH ALLIANCE DRUM - an all-Indian drum - lead by Jcml BUSH of Shelbyville, provided authentic American Indian music for the afternoon·and evening dances. Dancers in colort'ul tribal dress and from all over Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada were lead by Lead Man Dancer GEO:OOE JIARI'IN and Lia4 !adj Dande CINDY PETERS. Ov'er 200 members of the ottawa, Chippewa, Menomini, Winne1)a.go, Potawatomi, and Sioux tribes attended. ~ p Over thirty peopl.e contributed in one way or another ·t,o the success of this year•s pow wow. It was a tired but satisfied crew that finally wound things up after midnight. Well., pretty satisfied. Next year, things could run smoother ••••• and it could have been bigger ••••• The af'ternoon'e festivities began about 3 o'clock with the moving Flag Dance, :followed by the introduction of guest speakers by Lodge Chief SIMON FRANCIS JR. The Director ot Owl Indian Outreach, LARRY SHANANAQUE:r, talked about their program :for combat.ting alcoholism among Indian people. KAY CAMPOS, Indian Commissioner tor the Grand Rapids area! spoke on her duties and obligations as a member o:f 1.be Lti.chigan Commission on Indian Allaire. AND In the eveing MARY PINE SDIONAIT spoke on her work ae American Indian student counselor and recruiter :for Davenport College end Grand Valley State Colleges. Thie vital woman, incidentally, bas been responsible 'for most of the Indian awareness programs in the Grand Rapids area in the pa.st year. Over 1500 spectators gatbered to watch the dances and visited the many traders in genuine American Indian-made goods. Among the stands could be found Michigan Indian-made baskets and beadwork, Sioux-cra-rted moccasins, Navaho silver and t,urquoise jewelry, and ot.\awa-style corn soup and fry bread. A book-stall did a brisk business in books, maga•inea and pamphlets devoted entirely to Native Americans. Pow Wow Kitchen served a hot supper to a chilled and hungry crowd of 275. Turkey, cranberry sauce, ma.shed potatoes and V&VY', corn, garden-:f'resh relishes, try bread and Indian pud,Q.ing were dished up :from wooden bowls, crockery and enamel,m;re and black iron skillets on red and :white check-cov~H LOOKING FARl'HER BACK •• ,. I THE AMERICAN INDIAN ALCOHOLISM CONFERENCE held at the Pant.lind Hotel, Grand Rapids, on September 7 was hosted by the OWl Indian Out.reach. It drew resource people - Indian and noll"Pindian - from all over the state. An excellent :film, "Bitter Wind"was shown by Terry Smith, Alcoholism F.ducator of the Kenty County Health Department. Participating in the afternoon sessions were Robert Rowe, Alcohol Therapist, Brigadier Rollin G. Clark, , Pirector of Men's Social Service, and Thomas Van Buren, Alcohol Counselor, - all from the Salvation Army. Aleo t.aking part were Rev. Herman Tietsma, Director of Jellema House, and Mrs. Louise Thorpe, Resident Director of Our HOpe House - both halfway houses for recovering alcoholics. Among others participating were Bill :Marks, Counselor at Vocational Rehabilitation, and Jim Glaser, alcohol counselor at the Guiding Light Mission. Then CHIEF LI'ffi.E ELK, IKE PELGHSB, and Mrs. lllGGIE JACKSON t'rom the Isabella Reservation at 1ft. Pleasant gave an exhibition of dances and customs based on Chippewa legend and culture. From a menu of foods developed by Native Americans the The sterling-silver ard turquoise squash blossom necklace was won by MARK SCHOFIELD. The lodge also sponsored a giveaway t.hie year. An exquisitely crafted quill box was presented t.o each of the six women who worked at the lodge's booth at the Grand Bapids Festival 73 last June. J. · In discussing the effects of alcoholism on families, Sister Bri~id and Fred DuGay of Catholic Social Services brought out several :facts. When sobriet.y et.ope, they said, neglect and abuse begins. Another fact, 'for every 100 children cared :for by Catholic Social Services, ten are Indian. Yet, population figures show that for every 100 Kent County r~sidente there is one Indian. Fact #3, The main reason that these Indian children · are being cared for by Catholic Social Services is alcoholism. A fourth tact, 1.bere are no Indian foster homes listed with taem. This is awful, they feel, eince more Indian children come· to them 1.ban to any other agency in Kent County. Indian leaders in the alcohol problem came :from all over Mich,igan. Harry Command, Director of American Indian Services, Inc., an all-Indian organization in Detroit, etated 'flatly that alcoholism ie the Indians' "number one problem." He said, �"The Indian becor.es alcoholic because he is not agreesive enough, not competitive enough, and he uses alcohol as a protest." l!.r. George Bennett, Director of the Michigan Commi~sion on Indian Affairs, said that good communications are eseential "so that successful programs can be spread to every group needing them throughout the state." Si otto of Petoskey had just returned from training in alcoholiem and drug abuse problems at the University of Utah. He and Louise Cain, members of C.A.R,I. (Community Action for Rural IndiaIU!I), based in Petoskey, spoke of the need for a half'way house in t.hat area. Doris Adams, also from C.A.R.I. and a couneelor wit.h the Michigan liinployment Security Commission in Petoskey, stated t.hat "the biggest problem keeping Indians f'rom jobe is alcoholism". Clarence Gasko is a Regional Field Instructor in the u. Of Utah's trainj.r.ig program for Indian alcoholism. He advised everyone to "stay away frODJ concerned people - and there's alot of them in the Indian community! Its COMMITTED people that count!" Everyone agreed that there is money available for Indian alcoholism programs, and that there are lots of pz1ograme - 102, in fact.such as the 10-month-long course in alcohol therapist training offered in Detroit. Local Indian people participe.ting in the evening session were Barney and Ann Halfaday, Larry am Carol Sbananaquet, Kat.by She.gonaby, J:rs. Gloria Shenoeky, Henry and Louise Medawie, and Mr. Hank Shaw. They form the backbone of the thriving Owl Indian Outreach. Nearly everyone at the cont'erence had had a drinking problem affect t.hem in some way in their life. Perhaps it was a parent, a child, a f'riend, or even a neighbor who had had the problem. For many of the participants it had at one time been thei own personal hell. But, as one eaid, "the Indian can sober up. I know, I did it. Its tough, but it can be done."

THE BROADBOTTOM POW WOW by Beatrice Bailey Fascinated by the name "Broadbottom11 on the pow wow flyer, and by the idea of going to Kentucky, a state new on the pow wow trail, I decided on the spur of the moment to go. After a quick phone oall I had two companions for the trip, Marcelene Bush of Bradley, Michigan, and her daughter, Sydney Martin of Hopkins. Like my husband Churck, Frank Bush and George :Uartin had to work that weekend too. Leaving my home in Grandville, .M ichigan, early Friday morning of September 7, I had picked up Marcelene and Syd and we were on our way by io a.m., pulling my camping trailer. We arrived in Broadbott.om at 10 that night. It was an unf'orgettable trip, and the scariest I've ever made! mammoth curve on the side of the mountain ·and spotted a huge sign strung across the road by a cable. It read, "INDIAN POW WOW - STOP HEREl" Below it several teen-age boys stood beside the road. They were, they said, the guides into Broadbottom. I could hardly imagine vlhy this was necessary, but I let one young man into the car. Following hie directions, ·! turned off the highway onto an even narrower road that led to the bridges. There were two ways across the steep chasm directly ahead. You could take either the swinging foot-bridge or the swinging car brijge. The first was merely a miniature version of the second. Cables from one mountain to the other mountain supported the f'loor of' wooden planks barely wide enough for one car. There were no railings. I inched the car onto the bridge. It began to sway. "You have got to be kidding!" I gasped to our guide. ''Y'all know, that's what the person said what was in the last car that I guided over," drawled the young man. Even before we got out of Allegan County a tire went bad. Hobbling .into Plainwell to buy a new one, I began to have some misgivings about going on. But there in the station hung a huge sign depicting a tJmnderbird. The station's radio was playing, of all things, the "Ballad of Ira Hayes. 11 Feeling that these were good signs, we pressed on to Kentucky. Scared silly, but convinced it was too late to turn back, I let the car crawl onto the bridge. The trailer followed, tires hugging the planks. Syd shut her eyes. Marcelene peered out over the bridge cautiously. Her head snapped back inside. Due to our ignorance of the by.pass around it, we wasted a whole hour of precious driving time going t.hroug'h the city of Columbus, Ohio. We must have hit the red signal ofeveryone of its 235 traffic light.al Believe me, f t took the by-pass coming back. We were faint with relief when we reached the other side. Seeing two rows of' houses, I assumed we were in·Broadbottom. But our guide cheerfully inf'ormed us we were now in Housey Bottom. We drove on, up the extremely narrow road, up over another mountain with the car in low gear and our hearts pounding. At one sharp cur'll'e Marcelene looked out and down the mountainside that fell sharply away from the edge of the road. It was dark when we began to approach the Cumberland Mountains in eastern Kentucky. The roads became progressively more narrow with frequent and terrorizing detours. SUddenly, a Greyhound bus loOfl!ed ahead taking up three quarters of the road. We squeezed to the right, onto the shoulder, until it passed. Then, out of the darkness, a truck skidded and missed us by a hair! Now the mountains were looming ominously over us. The road became a writhing mass of cur'll'es, to the right, then left, now up, then suddenly down. The miles begantto tick off slowly. We looked for ~oad sigru,, but to no avail. The towns and cross roads simply are not marked, as they are in Michig__an. We knew we must be get~ing close. We stopped to inquire. -rat.er, we learned we were within 30 miles of Broadbottom, yet everyone we asked had never heard of it! The f'lyer stated that Broadbottom was 2:7 miles south of Prestonburg and 9 miles .n orth of' Pikesville, and so when we reached Prestonburg we started counting the miles on the car's speedometer. Finally, we rounded a "There's a river at the bottoml" she whispered hoarsely. "Car bodies down there!'' she gasped. "No one even tries to get them out," doom-laden voice. suggested Syd in a But on coming down the other side of the mountain, we found ourselves at long last at the pow wow grounds at Broadbottom, Ky. And What a contingent of Michigan Indians greeted usl The Appletone of Detroit with many singers and dancers oft.he Detroit Drum, were there, as were the Ed Henrys from Flint. The Shalifoes had arrived from Muskegon! The Kings from DeWitt, and Chief Little Elk · (Eli Thomas), Lou s Pontiac, Marie Emery, Maggie Jackson, and Allee Bennett had made it from the Isabella Reservation at Mount. · Pleasant. After quick 'hellos' we set up camp and threw ourselves into bed. �Stepping out of the camper the next morning I felt like :Jorothy when she arrived in the Land of Oz. The beauty and solitude of that place can hardly be described. We were in a lush green valley about 4 miles long and 1½ miles wide. It wa.a completely surrounded by mountains, very high and very green except for one, which had a huge bare stone cliff' t'acing the valley. For such a di:f:ficult. place to reach, the number of spectators was · unbelievable. . They came by the hundreds f'rom all the surrounding towns, hollows, and hille. None had ever seen an Indian pow wow before, and :few had ever seen an Indian! The enthusiasm o:f these people was overwhelming. Af'ter each dan: e they clapped and hollered and cheered. We learned t.hat most were pretty poor. They would have liked to have boughten the tradere' goods, but few had extra money af'ter paying t.heir way into the pow wow. And it was heartening to me that not one trader complained about the lack of salee. Everyone felt rewarded by the welcome, interest and enthusiasm poured out by these wonderful people. But. we didn't come home empty-handeda Marcelene Bush (Potawatomi) took First Place in the Ladies' Dance Contest. In tact, all the winners were ladies f'rom Michigan. Bernice Appleton (Oneida) of Detroit took Second Place, and Vickie King (ottawa) of DeWitt came in Third. Threatening skies cut t.he pow wow short Sunday afternoon. -, 5 o'clock we had etart.ed the long trek back to Michigan. I arrived home at 6 o'clock Monday morning. Swinging bridges and all, it is my dearest wish to return to the Broadbottom pow wow next year. But Chuck will have to do the driving! .ON THE .

The story began on December 20 in Traverse City where Duhamel received the first of several citations from the DNR. To date he has been charged with (1) illegal trans~ortation of fish, (2) illegal fishing, and (3) fishing with illegal devices. In his turn, Duhamel has served the DNR with a copy of the 1836 Ottawa/Chippewa 'Treaty . DNR Offi9er Ellis Barber agreed to read it "when he has a few leisure moments." January 6 was a day for marching -- without drums -when Duhamel was arraigned in Traverse City's Districe Court. Outside, Indian people carried picket signs reminding nonIndians that"'the Great White Father' promised us in the 1836 Treaty not only the right to fish but 100 barrels of salt and 500 fish barrels annually." "I didn't get a single fish barrel nor even one pound of salt from the DNR at Christmas," joked Duhamel outside the courtroom. In spite of his ever-increasingly heavy expenses resulting from his pursuit of his Indian fishing rights -which he hopes will eventually result in the restoration of their fishing rights to all Michigan Indians -- Duhamel has maintained his sense of humor. His trial date, originally set for March 20, has been nostponed to Auril 24 - 25, It will be held at the Leeweenau County Courthouse, Leland, Michigan, before Judge Benedict. NET RESULT: "MORE MUD IN THE WATER." Another day in court for the nine Bay Mills residents being tried for fishing in the Petoskey area last fall and no decision made . The April 1 hearing saw a large turn-out of Indian people, who sat listening in orderly attentiveness. The prosecution at the February hearing had entered arguments in both the civil and criminal discussions which caused the case to be rescheduled for April 1. This case has all the smack of a classic treaty test case of fishing:rights. Test cases to date have been confined to those involving fishing in waters adjacent to reservations. This one involves reservation residents fishing well off reservations but still in waters not ceded by treaty. Another case with a similar situation is the one against Art Duhamel. Of the nine defendents originally cited in the Petoskey case by the DNR, charges against two were dropped (for un known reasons). The original warrants have been rescinded -5- �Notes 'n' News From Southwestern Michigan GRAND TRAVERSE HAPPENINGS (continued) and new ones issued for the remaining seven defendents. No formal arraignment was made on those second warrants until February 10, Two actions were being pursued by the DNR at that Febnuary 10 hearing. A condemnation proceeding was conducted concurrently with the criminal case. The judge ruled that the condemnation proceeding be held in obeyance until such time as the criminal question was answered. Apparently, the condemnation proceedings listed more names and equipment than was originally involved in this case. Some observers feel this is a move by the DNR in the hopes of obtaining a cou~t order from a favorable di s trict court that can be used all over Michigan to condemn and destroy Indian-owned fishing equipment. At the April 1 hearing the Judge ruled to accept arguments on the briefs of both plaintiffs and defendents. Wr/L James, the defendents' attorney, pointed out that it is the non-Indian commercial fishermen who are the depleters of fish from Michigan waters. . . YOU CAN BE A FOSTER PARENT?

Through a Title III State grant they have obtain a six months' lease, with option to buy, on the old Catholic Church at Watervliet. The Southwestern Michigan Indian Center opened its doors last November 15 with Joseph Winchester as Executive Director. The twelve-member board of Directors elected Clarence White of South Bend, Indiana, as their president. The church's rectory yrovides office space for Director Winchester, Secretary/receptionist Yvonne Bohem, Program Director Joseph Morsaw, Bookkeeper Tina McIntosh, Elderly Outreach Worker Joseph Quigno and Community Health Representative Bonnie Edelberg. The church building itself is being used for different activities. Every Saturday afternoon children's classes are offered in dancing, drumming, chal1ting and beadwork. Other classes are being plai"lned. The January 5 Christmas Party for children had a good turnout of happy little guests.

"Also, SVSC is invloved in an exciting program in cooperative education," she continued, "and we want the students to know about these opportunities and start preparing now." The first day of the conference will center around Native American professionals in education, scholarship and other careers. On the second day the students will be involved in the Mid-Michigan Minority Professional Careers Conference, sponsored by SVSC, area businesses and industries, and the National Alliance of Businessmen.

Agencies serving their needs, low income Parents, and Native Americans participated in the all-day session, conducted by Dr. Irving Goldaber with the assistance of Mary Simonait Dr. Goldaber is the New York sociologist who has specialized in group communication as a means of removing conflicts between social grouPs (see INDIAN TALK, March 1974, "Communications Lab: Distillers of Change.") Members of many social groups -- school superintendents, a news manager, law enforcement people, clergymen, lawyers, bankers, a college president, hospital administrators, social service workers, employment directors, educators and CAP Personnel -- were involved in the Bayliss Library lab. Native Americans provided information on the need for greater interdependence among agencies in order to serve people better. Problems with alcoholism were reviewed. Inequities of school funding were uncovered. The "pros and cons" of Man-power and C.E.T.A. funds were discussed. All of these agencies' services affect the children through their parents. The lab brought out the ignorance of each groun about the others. Much information was shared which will be conducive to better working relationships. A follow-up meeting will be held at the 'Soo' to check on progress. Intensive planning for the lab began in November 1974, Goldaber and Simonait met with Headstart parents from the tri-county area. Dr. Goldaber delivered lectures on the various levels of communication and conflict in such cities as Cederberg, Hessell, St. I,e;nace, Newberry, Brimley, and on the Bay Mills Indian Reservation. I found the -people of the · upper Peninsula -- and the little towns -- fascinating and enjoyable, It was very satisfying to witness people learning something new about themselves. Even more satisfying to me personally was the witnessing of more people becoming educated about Native Americans . . -Mary Pine Simonait Indian Programs Coordinator G.V.S.C. - Davenport College Grand Rapids, Michigan -10- ..., . • PITTSBURGH, Pa, --(AIPA)--"The federal government should undertake with all possible haste a study of existing treaties with all tribes of American Indians with the intent of determining and making changes which are necessary to achieve the goal of equal rights for all its citizens and to insure conservation of fish and wildlife services," So declared Resolution #32 passed during the 39th annual convention of the National Wildlife Federation here March 15, It had been introduced earlier by NWF delegates from the states of Nevada and Washington. The NWF action was reported nationwide in the press and triggered a storm of reaction from Indian tribes and orga,1izations. Said the NWF resolution in part: "The National Wildlife Federation is dedicated to the principles of sound, scientific wildlife management. .. This organization upholds the Constitution of the United States of America, including those provisions which state that all citizens must receive equal treatment under the law, regardless of race, creed or color. "Special privileges have been granted to minority groups who are citizens of the United States ... Recent federal court decisions relating to Indian treaties and fishing and hunting rights have provided superior rights to treaty Indian peoples; · .. these superior rights are creating serious adverse problems for the scientific management of fish and wildlife resources." Within a week of the passage of the NWF resolution, representatives from the Native American Rights Fund, Institute for the Development of Indian . Law, Americans for Indian OpPortunitv, National Congress of American Indians, the Sierra Club and the American Friends Service Committee met with NWF officers in the nation's capital to determine what NWF was going to do about its treaty resolution. It anueared fron that mgeting that NWF would soon request the Interior Department and perhaps its sub-agencies the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Interior Solicitor's Office and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service -- to undertake the treaty rights study. "There are problems where the rights of people other than Indians are being downgraded," said the NWF conservation director to the group, "and that isn't right either. It's gone far beyond what originally was intended in the treaties. Are Indians citizens of the country or not?" AIO President LaDonna Harris (Comanche) warned NWF officials that "we're on the edge of a racial thing" in seeking to dismantle the treaty rights of Indians to hunt and fish. Another NWF official expressed his concern that "a lot of shades of Tndian blood," including individuals with only thirty-second degree of Indian blood, were exercising treaty rights to fish in the state of Washington, where a 1974 fed-11- �Editorial: Bias and Treaty Rights - Can We Get A Fair Deal? (continued from preceeding page) Wildife Federation Seeks to Terminate Indians Treaty Rights eral court decision reaffirmed the right of some Washington state tribes to fish outside their reservation boundaries in "usual and accustomed places" specified by the treaties. Attorney Lee Price of the Institute for the Development of Indian Law warned that it was "property rights, not civil rights" of Indians that the NWF was assailing. Another NWF official said that the federation urged "using only the harvestable surplus" of fish for all purposes, and that the matter of the depletion of fish stocks in many waterways was largely a matter of management of the fish resources. He said NWF was concerned not by Indians fishing on their own reservations, but by fishing off the reservations. The National Wildlife Federation is located at 1412 16th St., Washington, DC 20036. The non-profit conservation organization, formed in 1936, has strong~ties with sports and game fishermen's lobbies in various states. The organization has affiliate chapters in all 50 states plus Quam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It publishes the magazines "National Wildlife," "International Wildlife-," and "Ranger Rick" for children as part of its environmental education programs. NWF President and Board Chairman is Walter L. Mims. Thomas L. Kimball is Executive Vice President. The wording of the NWF resolution here in Pittsburgh echoed the wording of an earlier resolution adopted by the International Association of Game, Fish and Conservation Commissioners during its annual convention last Sept. 13 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The IAGFCC is thus also on record urging a special study of the Indian treaty rights question, but it asked Congress rather than the executive branch to conduct t~e study. NWF officials in the meeting with Indian representatives said they would be willing to work with Indian tribes and organizations and would welcome those groups as participants in the study.

It was formerly called the Denartment of Conservation and was responsible to the Governor's Office for State Conservation. The DNR has recently incurred the wrath of citizens, sportsmen and Michigan's Indian people by their new image of an additional law enforcement agency. In the last few years the DNR has arrested, charged, or ticketed numerous Indian induviduals for violation of alleged state game laws vrhich are clearly contrary to their treaty rights, specifically the 1836 Treaty with the Ottawa and Chippewa clations. · This treaty was clearly between the Indian people and the Government of the United States, not the State of Michigan. The federal government has acknowledged its responsibility. It is in the process of paying ·off a land claim to the descendents of the Ottawa and Chippewa Nations involved in the 1836 Treaty. The arrest of William Jondreay and A. B. LeBlanc by the DNR, however, led to the upholding of the 1854 Treaty by the Michigan State Supreme Court. DNR officers arrested nine Indian people from the Bay Mills Reservation last November 10 at Petoskey for alleged fishing with gill nets. The(*s:t;ory' s headline in the Petoskey News Review announced "SEIZE GILL NETS AND 'HUNDREDS' OF TROUT" and the story itself played on the sympathy of readers for the fish who "are easy prey to lethal gill nets" which "drown the fish or strangle them when they struggle to free themselves." Has anyone seen the array of assorted barbed and disguised hooks 'guarranteed' to get those elusive fish that sportsmen eagerly pursue? Has anyone had to retrieve hooks from fish who are then tossed bleeding and torn back into the water? Multiply them by the 20,000 sportsmen yearly. There is no , sympathy for the Indian 1people whose health has suffered .because of deprivation of nutritious foods that were staples in their diet for thousands of years, No concern for a people now trapped in the enviro~.ment of the Upper Peninsula by standards imposed by an alien way of life. A Traverse City Indian man and his wife were arrested by the DNR last November 15 for hunting deer illegally. A jury of non-Indians found them guilty last February 18. The case is being appealed. Arthur Duhamel oas taken it upon himself to test his rights as an Indian in the hopes that all Michigan Indian people will be able to regain them. He was arrested by the DNR on December 20, 21, and 22, 1974 for transporting fish illegaly and for the use of gill nets, =13- �(continued froD preceeding page) EDITOR1CAL1 Bias and Treaty Rights - Can We Get A Fair Deal? In spite of a biased press and equally biased sportsmen's organizations, fair-minded men are to be found. Such a man is Jud,c.:e Benedict who is hearing Art Duhamel' s case. ,Tudge Benedict is young and appears to have no bias against Indian people, He has laid out the ground rules for the trial for both the prosecution and the defense. He has further laid the burden of proof on the prosecution to show Indian commercial fishing is depleting the game stock of Michigan's lakes, rivers and streams. Other fair and impartial men are Mr. Duhamel's attor• neys: Jim Olsen, Mike Dettmer and Kent Walton from Traverse City. They are requesting the full support of all Indian peopl~, both individually and organizationally. In order to defend Mr. Duhamel they need an emergency fund of at least $2500.00 to be used for the calling of expert witnesses and for depositions. For further information contact the at-torneys at their offices, (616) 947-2912, All of these cases involving Indian people are important. But Mr. Duhamel's case is indeed important for our people of Michigan. It could perhaps settle the treaty is• sue in our state and initiate the precedence for other Michigan Indian treaty problems. What is an 'expert witness'? It could be someone like anthropologist Barbara Lang who has done extensive research that is used in legal proceedings .to determine Indian rights . (**$he has noted that the minutes of the treaty negociations eight out of ten times support the Indian people's oral tradition of the treaty terms, rather than the actual treaty document itself. -Frederick Boyd, S/A, CIM -Shirley Francis, Researcher Grand Rapids, Michigan (*) See Petoskey News Review, front page, 11/11/74, ( **) Kirke Kick~ ngbird, "The American Indian and the Land 1974" in the Education Journal of the Institute for the Development of Indian Law, Vol. 2 No. 7, ·9. 5, 0 NMOA Council Called The 27th Annual Northern Michigan Ottawa Association's General Member§hip Council will be held at the Emmet County Fairgrounds, Petoskey, the third Saturday in June. -14- Behind The Escobedo Miranda Ruling A year or so a.go an attorney spelled out, in layman's terms, the basic concept of the Escobedo and Miranda Ruling. This ruling defines the rights of anyone who is arrested. Whether one anticipates problems with the authorities or not, it is wise to know these basic rights. 0 YOUR RIGHTS AFTER ARREST The law of arrest has been one of the most dynamic areas of the law in recent yea.rs. It can generally said that a police officer can make an arrest for a misdemeanor (minor crime) committed in his presence, or for a felony where he has reasonable grounds to believe that a felony has been committed and reasonable grounds to believe that the person he seeks to arrest has committed the felony. If you are arrested without compliance with those standards you may have a right to sue for false arrest. If you are falsely arrested you most surely will become in2ignant and angry. However, you should not resist arrest but rather suffer the indignities of the arrest and hope to sue the police officer and police department at a later date. If you are certain that you were not involved in any crime or connected with the individual committing the crime, you should give your name, address, and protest your innocence of any crime. In addition, you should demand to know on what charges you are arrested and demand to see a copy of any warrant. Other than that, you should say very little except to ask that you be permitted to call your attorney or family. If you are not certain that were not involved in a crime or not connected with individuals committing a crime, then you should say absolutely nothing. An exception to this is if you are arrested while driving an automobile, hunting, or engaged in some other activity which requires a license. In that case you should show a copy of your license. registration, etc. to the officers. You should also demand to see an attorney. Remember that you do not have to say anything and that you should definitely not say anything, either before you are arrested or after you are arrested. You have the right to see an attorney before saying anything and you should exercise this right. You have the right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself. But, if you choose to speak, whatever you say can be used against you. Any promises that the police or other officials make to you are unenforceable and should be ignored until you have consulted an attorney. In addition to remaining silent, you should not permit any search of your car, home, yourself, or anything. However, if you are arrested, the police have a right to search you for weapons, and if they have a search warrant they may proceed under the terms of the search warrant whether you object or not. -15- �THE ESCOBEDO-MIRANDA RULING (continued) There are some exceptions to your right to do nothing. For example, you must show your license and registration, you must submit to a breathalizer test, you must submit to a search at international borders, or boarding an aircraft, etc. You should object to the fact that you must submit to these procedures and should not actively consent to them although you cannot physically oppose them. You have a right to be brought before a judge for an arraignment as soon as possible after your arrest. However, if you are arrested on a weekend, it is doubtful that you will be arraigned prior to Monday. Remember that if you forget your rights you should ask the arresting police officer to read them to you. Normally they will do this as a matter of course. However, you should be sure that you listen to all of your rights very carefully including the right to have a court-appointed attorney at no cost to you. In conclusion, if you are arrested, identify yourself, request an attorney, do not interfere with the arresting officers, do not physically interfere with any search by the officers but do not consent to it, and keep silent. -F. H. Boyd, S/A Region 3 - Petoskey C.I.M. Muskegon Group Formed "Our charter calls for the promotion of the culture and heritage of Indian people," says Jim Gibson, acting president of the newly orga.l'l.ized Woodland Indians of Muskegon County, Inc., " and the promoting of Indian awareness and selftermination, and greater understanding between Indians and other races." The new organization meets twice a month at the Reece Puffer High School, 1500 N. Getty, Muskegon. A short business meeting is followed by Indian social dancing. "We eventually hope to have an Indian center," says Gibson, "Right now we are working on putting on our first pow-wow." It will be held in the L. C. Walker Arena April 19 and 20. (See THE POW-WOW TRAIL in this issue.) Gibson says the 1973 Muskegon County census records 627 Indian people in the county, "but there are probably more." The Woodland Indians of Muskegon County, Inc. would appreciate any donations to help out with the pow-wow. For information inquire of Mrs. Rose Shalifoe, 207 S.

But Native Americans have been the hardest hit by these blights. However, two incidents happened recently that require a departing from that policy. One stems from a letter printed in the Nishnawbe News. The other arises from a statement sent out by an Indian 'vigilante• group. The only thing the two incidents have in common is neither the letter nor the statement was signed by the person or persons involved. Anonynimi ty shouldn't be dignified by an ans·;:er, usually, But the ovious injustices being perpetrated by these written statements demand exposure of their intent. Certainly the most potgntially ~angerous. is the statement sent out by the self-proclaimed "Native Americans for Radical Change". The single sheet they sent out not only does not have the name of a single individual connected with it but does not even have an address. Nor does it say how many members it has. It only declares that a certain Indian organization "has been dominated by one 'special interest group.'" and that "we, the Native Americans for Radical Change, feel that (the remedy for) this ... is for the community to ... vote in the up coming election." NARC admonishes the community to "elect Native Americans that will serve the whole Native American community and not just for their own gain (underlining is mine.) "Sweep out the special interest group who serve their own interests," the NARC statement implores. Well now, let's look at this so-called "special interest group" who serve "for their own gain." First of all, just what does a member of a board of directors get for his endless hours at countless meetings? Fame? Fortune? When this organization began a great number of people rushed to the first meetings. But when the 'honeymoon' of excitement wore off and the meetings of planning became hard, ploddin,5 work, people fell away ( this writer included) in droves. But a number of far-seeing and very determined people stuck it out. It was they that formed the solid basis that has given that organization the credibility it has today. And it does have it, or it would not have the funding nor the building nor the employees this credibility has earned for it. To say that one serves on a board of directors, especially of an Indian organization, for gain is sheer nonsense. One thing is for sure: you have to have "skin seven thumbs thick" to withstand the pressure of responsibility. -17- �"STICKING MY NECK OUT" ( continued) The fact that elections should have been set up some time ago gives some truth to the NARC statement. But why · send it out now? Meetings have already been held and this was thoroughly discussed. Registration plans have been drawn up. A nominating committee was selected by vote and is at work drawing up a slate of candidates. What is more, it was voted to elect an entire new board of directors at the last meeting. So why the NARC call to battle after the war is over? It seems apparent that the NARC statement was sent out for questionable reasons. It is fairly obvious that NARC is an attempt to divide -- to split -- the community once more into warring factions, to intimidate good people from running for election and to cast suspicion everywhere as people try to figure out who are members of this subversive group, which ones are linked to it. It is possible that NARC is not an Indian group at all; that it is the devise of anti-Indian factions. It could be a plot instigated by a'conservationist' or sportsmen's group. Maybe the BIA are behind it, or the CIA, the Communists, the Fascists or the nazisl Yes, that sounds ridiculous, but how do you know who NARC represents unless you are a member. And if you are, why are you hiding? * * * * * * * The second incident involves the anonymous busybody whose letter in the last issue of the Nishnawbe News maintains that Indian people who meet in the club-like "Indian bars" are not interested in their culture. What nonsense! The writer claims to be a member of the Indian community and a founding member of the Grand Valley American Indian _Lodge. GVAIL can hardly be called an Indian organization. It has always had a predominently white membership. Since its founding 15 years ago it has more or less been controlled by the same 12 original members who are mostly white. And by mostly I mean around three-fourths. And this proportion remains the same today. (;VAIL equates 'culture' with baskets and beads, .with Indian 'costumes' and dancing. As such, it is hardly more than an Indian hobbyist association. Indeed, there is no• thing wrong with that. I have met some very fine Indian hobbyists, who are arrlent supporters of ~Indian concerns. But they do not claim to be Indians nor do they appear before the general public as representatives of the Indian community. · The anonymous writer does not reveal his identity because he knows he is on rather shaky ground with the Indian community. lf he has a relationship with them at all. * * ** ** *** Replies are welcome but they must be signed if you wish them to be printed.

Coordinated by State YMCA Native American Outreach director George Pamp, the tournament was sponsored by the Lansing Indian Center, the Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs, Michigan State University, and Pamp. This all-Indian basketball tournament saw the Bay Mills Team come out as the champions. Al~ena was awarded the Second Place Trophy and Lansing Team #2 took the consolation bracket. Members of the winning Bay Mills Team were awarded individual trophies. Receiving them were Jerry Parish, Mickey Parish, A. Parish, D. Parish, G. Parish, C. Parish, Pat Groleau, Tony Neetoli, Ken Payment, Tom Brown, John Lufkins, and Arnold Cameron. Teams participating were from Detroit, Salem, Keweenaw, Alpena, Lansing #1, Lansing #2, Marquette, Petoskey, Grand Rapids, Flint, Bay Mills, and Traverse City. ~ In the Women's Division Haslett again took home first place honors. Cleveland took second place and Petoskey came off with third. Much of the success of this tournament was due to the fine efforts of both participating teams and officials to keep to the very heavy time-table. * * * Other events in the discussion phase for state-wide competition are: soft ball games, bowling, volleyball. Summer camping was also discussed. If you are interested in any of these activities, write to INDIAN TALK and offer some suggestions and ideas.

LETTERS FROM READERS (Editor's note, We just received the letter printed below, and we feel it is of such social significance that we decided to print it right away · Feb 24, 1975 The Michigan Parole Board Gentlemen, I' ie been accused of not standing up for my "rights" ... when I appeared before you February 19 (The accuser) was right: I never stood up for my rights. If I have any "rights," then they're everybody"s RIGHTS, which includes the right of the Parole Board to "proceed with 'caution•• in my individual case. It seems to me that everyone, including the prosecutor of Oakland County has a right to speak up. Why not me? I am 38 years old and have been imprisoned since October 1948 with the exception of about 3½ years. You could say that this has been my life. Rather than everyone dealing with a whole lot of WHAT's I think it is time all of us started dealing with CAUSES and asking WHY? In my opinion, from personal research, there are no "born" criminals, no "recidivists." We are dealing with mis• staken identities. Prison is the surface result of something much deeper than Crime and Punishment. So long as our social structure is based on imagery, competition and greed, ' there will always be effects. I believe imagery is the root of all social misfits, that "criminals" are the result of frustrations growing out of human beings who are unable to "measure up" to preconceived images that make us all WHAT we eventually grow to IMAGINE we are as men and women. In my case, I imagined I was many things: inferior, ugly, a failure, a social outcast . . As a result of misunderstanding these innate fears, I even grew to imagine myself less than a man. The fact of the matter was, I was at war with myself, being unable to accept what I imagined I was. I had to "act" like a "man," a "tough guy," and so forth, for no mther reason tha.~ that I confused what I imagined I was with who I really am as a human being, a person. No one ever bothered to tell me I wasn't any of these things, that I was good. No one ever asked me why I did this or that, but only deepened my alienation by continually focusing my attention on what I a.~ and what I did. Prison was created by a social structure based on imagery. It is a futile system, a failing system. If society were not turning out its criminals so swiftly, perhaps the penologists and reformists would have the time to concentrate their efforts on dealing with causes rather than effects and punishments. That I could be confined for about 27 years and remain a misfit proves the veIT thing I'm talking about. There are a multitude of inmate's;~ould choose to be good citizens IF they knew they didn't have to be BAD. .'r r r The moral issues of our humanity are as much a part of imprisonment as punishment. I was my own prison for many years, my own punishment. I didn't have to be a criminal, robber or thief. I accept the full responsibility for whatever I did and the blame is not such a difficult matter to shoulder -- nor the time I have had to serve -- now that I realize the can;:;'9 .. For every boy and girl now being socially conditioned to become stereotypes of "Mom" and "Dad" or any of the other many "images" of socially revered and esteemed "he-man" herotypes and "super-woman" beauty-types, how many of these kids will eventually become social misfits because they somehow cannot measure up to these images? When they begin to lose their reall identity and revolt against the social-image, who is to blame? The big-league football or baseball player? The Hollywood Hero or Heroine? The skinny boy who can not compete in sports, when he starts carrying a knife, who will be to blame? The prosecutor in Oakland County is not just speaking against a very FEW men and women on parole or about to be released; he is ppeaking ag~st me too. I am ready to leave prison. I'm sorry to say that prison hasn't helped me reform. It merely gave me time to search my heart; it gave me time to find myself. But in all my searching there was no one to call upon for help -- except God and my own good common sense. I don't apologize to any of you for the things I did. I apologized to MYSELF. I forgave MYSELF for being my own worst enemy. And I forgive the very structure that helped create all the things I thought I was and had to be in order to be a MAN. I failed myself as a man, because underneath the man there just happened to be a person, a human being who cared, but somehow didn't know how to care right. ¼ND TO ALL SOCIETY:) Don't blame the Parole Board for YOUR MISTAKES. True, I don't agree with how they're handling ME, because I want out of here, but it is just as wrong to shift the burden from YOUR OWN SHOULDERS. Law enforcement and penologists are dealing with social effects. I say YOU should re~evaluate the educational system and burn nine-te~ths of all the parental guidance books. What is good for one is not good for all. And the only real image any of us must measure up to is in our own heart. The real alienation is not social malcontents, misfits, rejects, etc., but, simply put, boys and girls, men and women who cannot relate what they imagine they are with who they are as human beings. Instead of punishing us why not ask WHY and then have the humanity to HELP SOMEBODY yourself. Somebody has to care. I do. Do you? -Henry J.

If it is still in print, and I assume it is after reading your article, could you possibly give me the current address? Thank you. Our family is Chippewa/ Oneida/Ottawa with some Anglo thrown in. We are delighted to be receiving your good magazine to keep up with what it has to say about activities not only in Mi.chigan but around the country. I was especially saddened by the article about the trailer fire at Caro, Michigan. I am enclosing a check to help to~ard the delivery of the new trailers - a very small drop in the bucket and I so wish it could be more, Cannot the State Indian Commission, the Teamsters Union and the United Board of Missions be contacted for aid in this matter? It would seem to me that it would be of interest to all of them and, not to put too fine a point on it, the promis of favorable publicity might make at least some of them sit up and take interest. I hope these suggestions help. -Carolyn C. Bennett Ann Arbor, MI (Ed. note, The address we have been able to find for INDIAN VOICE is now 33324 Pacific Highway South Federal Way, Washington 98002.

"That's why we will be spending three days - March 19, 20 and 21 - in Grand Rapids." Joining him will be Kevin Hart (Chippewa), Native American Advocate, and Jim Concannon (Ottawa), Native American Opportunity Counselor. Crow is Cherokee. Wednesday and Thursday, the 19th and 20th, they will be visiting Grand Rapids high schools. Thursday evening they will speak with the Parent Advisory Committee at the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council Indian Center, 756 Bridge Street, N.W. On Friday, the 21st, they will be at the center all day to answer questions and to discuss the work Native American students are doing at the university, what their own work has accomplished and the work they are planning for the future. "Recognizing the high drop-out rate among Native Ameri• can students," Crow said, "we hope to encourage them through these presentations to remain in school." The slide presentation, accompanied by traditional Indian songs, is of the recent Ann Arbor pow-wow, held February 1 and 2,at the University of Michigan. "By this means," said Crow, " we are showing what various Indian communities are doing to sustain and nourish their culture, traditions and way of life." The University of Michigan has much to offer Native American students. The Opportunity Program's resources provide continuous conseling, tutoring, help with federal and state financial aid, housing information, cultural activities plus courses available in the American Culture Program. A member of the Ann Arbor community teaches a university-accredited course in traditional Ojibway. There is a Native American Cultural School which promotes cultural identity by conducting weekly arts and crafts workshops for Native American children in the Ann Arbor community. One of the faculty members offers independent studies in American Indian culture, art, history, literature andeducation. The Native American Student Association participates annually in the Ann Arbor Ethnic Fair, sponsors pow-wows, feasts and frequently invites Native American guest speakers, dancers, singers, artists, and storytellers to visit the university throughout the year. Crow, Concannon and Hart welcome all inquiries about their work and warmly encourage correspondence from Indian high school and college students as well as their counselors and advisors.

Mr. Duhamel is being tried on two charges1 illegal transporting of fish and fishing with a gill net. Boyd says this is an important trial for all Indian fishermen to watch because it is contesting the 1836 'llreaty between the Chippewa and Ottawa Tribe and the United States Government. According to Boyd, Mr. Duhamel's case is of a classaction type court case. "The whole thing hinges on the interpretation of the 1836 Treaty, and it could settle many difficulties," he said. It is not, therefore, a 'private' case concerning a single individual. Its outcome will affect all Michigan Indian fishermen's rights, according to Boyd. Last year the State Supreme Court made a decision favorable to Indian fishermen in the case of John Jandreau and Albert LeBlanc, says Boyd. "But the Department of Natural Resources indicated in a January meeting between itself and the officers of the Northern Michigan Ottawa Association that it would like a higher court's opinion," he said, adding that this could only mean the United States Supreme Court. To fight these cases is costly, said Boyd. Mr. Duhamel's case is no exception. His attorneys need $2500.00 for deposition fees and for the calling of expert witnesses. Support is vitally necessary, says Boyd, from both individuals and Indian organizations.

Five women's teams are rolling in the Recreation Jets League, four men's teams are upsetting pins in the South Lansing Merchants Lea~"Ue, and five mixed couples' teams are keeping the lanes busy in the Pin-Busters League, Most of these bowlers are fairly new at the game, but with the season better than half gone, many of these first year keglers are showing signs of becoming top-notch bowlers. Two of the women's teams are rolling around first place. One of the men's teams is in first place and another is just a couple of notches down. In the mixed couple league two teams are now in second and third place. An all-Indian, self-sponsored team who call themselves the American "One", has been rolling in the Pro-Bowl Sportsman League for the past three years. It has never been lower than fifth place in the sixteen-team league. Members of American "One" are James L. Fox, Jim Brunk, Cliff Gould, Leo Jackson and Tom Peters. At the lanes they can't be missed. They sport bright red shirts with white lettering and a big Indian head in the center back. American ~One" recently rolled in the State tournament in Allen Park, Michigan, in the Gordon's Tournament, and in the Men's City Tournament. Youth bowling is beginning to catch on, at least with the Cliff Gould children. Eight-year-old Buffy Gould won a trophy for fourth place recently in the City Tournament's Peanut Division. Diana Gould and Dad Cliff won a trophy for second place in the Father-Daughter tournament. And Dulo Gould has won numerous patches and certificate-awards for high series and high games.

Camp Hayo-Wen:t-Ha is on the northeast side of the lake and has 480 acrrs and one and a half miles of shoreline. Camp Hayo-Went-Ha tas 13 cabins, dining hall, recreation lhdge, a health lodge, shower and wash houses, tennis court$, athletic field, boat house, swimming and water-craft areas. Its activities include archery, riflery, basket- and volleyball, baseball, sw-imming and boating of all kinds -- inclu,ding rowboating, canoeing and sailboating., Its staff is made up of well-trained and experienced people in Bamp operation and water safety. Family camping is truly a vacation -- no long trips ?Ni th miles eating up vacation money in gas and oil, nc,··; tents to set up, no meals to prepare and no dishes to dol Most important, there is no worrying about where the kids are. They are too busy enjoying every minute of it, under the watchful eyes of camp people trained· to keep kids happy. For those not familiar with the term 'family camp,• it is the use of a regular camp like Hayo-Went-Ha by a group of families for specific purposes. They stay for a regular camp period, usually five to seven days. (Camp Hayo-Went-Ha has a five-day camping period.) Each family has its own cabin. The group of families decide what kind of activities they would like to pursue during the course of the week. The camp staff prepares the meals, does the dishes and supervises the children's activities. The Indian Family Craft and Culture Camp that INDIAN TALK would like to see happen would have the activities that those who sign up decide they want. Someone has already suggested that mornings be devoted to learning Native American arts and crafts. While the children are enjoying regular camp activities under the guidance of camp staff, the parents would be free to learn the arts and crafts of special interest to them. They will be taught by, we hope, so~e of Michigan's most well-known Indian crafts paople. Here is the opportuntity to learn basket making, quill box work, loom and cloth beading, finger-weaving, drumming and dancing. Afternoons would be left open for leisure and :c J:ecreational activities together as a family -- swimming, hiking, fishing, ballgames , or just dozing on the beach in lawn chairs. Or take off on a side trip or the golf links. In the evenings, after the children are tucked into bed, parents can gather in the lodge for programs or speakers and some nice long discussions over coffee. �1~ T4 Indian Family Craft and Culture Camp (continued) The cost for a family is not unreasonable, we believe, when you consider the cost of trips and groceries these days. Camp Hayo-Went-Ha charges $6.75 per day per auult and $5.50 per day per child . between three and eight years old (under three are free.) Camp Hayo-Went-Ha can hold the Indian Famil~ Craft and Culture Camp August 23 - 27. But we must have 1 families -- at least 75 persons -- to make it possible. The camp ean take 180 people. Single-parent families are welcome. Couples without _ children should "adopt" nieces and nephews, grandchildren or "little friends" to bring along for the week. Interested? Please take a moment to complete the form below and mail it back to us right away. Or simply write us a letter. If we are to go ahead with the plans we must reserve Camp Hayo-Went-Ha by March 30.

The Grand Traverse Bay Area Indian Center, Inc. started its own all-Indian Nursery School program last September. Sixteen Indian boys and girls, between the ages of one and six are enrolled. The program has a two-hour day, five days a week. The center has high hopes of extending the daily hours to eight a day in the near future and of increasing the enrollment. The teachers and teachers' aides are all Indian people. At the present time the Indian children are being taught by a Montessori Teacher. The children are taught to work together and to make decisions on their own. They are learning to be independent. The work they do ranges from coloring to geometric puzzles, which a child will use in later years. Every Tuesday the children make a weekly trip to the YMCA swimming pool. Each child has his own instructor assigned to him. Some of the children were afraid of water at first but now they are diving off the side of the pool by themselves, under the watchful eyes of their instructors. It is really great to see this kind of progress. What is more rewarding to the center's staff is that they have all their Indian children in one group. They are the next generation of Indian adults. Who can tell, maybe one will be a gold-medal winner in a future Olympics!

She was one of the four resource people who took part in the conference sponsored by the Minority Division of the Michigan Education Association and held at the Lansing Hilton Inn. "The status of Indian education has :1ever been better," Dr. Christianson, a professor at the University of Minnesota, said. "Parents are going to the schoolroom and are finding out what is happening to their children." She discussed cultural differences. "They do exist. Indians are different, they differ tribally. Blacks, Indians and Chicanos are different," Dr. Christianson said. "The role of sexes is different .in each group." "Indian women have a totally different historical perspective of their roles than non-Indian women," she said, adding that socialization practices are different for Indian children as well. A Nishnawbe (Chippewa), Dr. Christia.~son grew up on the Bad River Reservation in Minnesota. " I = an Indian educator and an Indian women," she said. In her discussion of cultural differences she recalled meeting a sociologist (non-Indian) who thought Indians behaved the way they did because they were poor. "That is not true," she said. "I have spent much time studying values patterns," she said, citing as an example the lavish use of 'small talk' by non-Indians. "It is 'hi,' 'how are yo u ,' 'that's nice,' ' um-hum,' uh-uh,' and so on all day long," Dr. Christianson said. "Small talk is not deemed necessary in the Indian community," she said. "Indian people can ride together for hundreds of miles in a car without indulging in small talk." She cited the following example. "A friend of mine was asked by my cousin one day if he would like to go for a ride with him. It wasn't until they reached North Dakota that my friend thought to ask where my cousin was going, and found out that he was on his way to attend an NIEA convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My friend was in Albuquerque a week without a change of clothes or money before he got a ride back to Minnesota!" Dr. Christianson said that Indian children do not relate well in the schoolroom where there is emphasis on small talk. Time and Space are also looked at differently by Indian people, said Dr. Christianson. "These are cultural phenomena. Indians do not order Time into blocks, but live seasonally." . ) 2f Indian Children and Cultural Differences ( continued Dr. Christianson commented on the jokes regarding 'Indian time.• "A friend of' mine carried it too far," she said, "When he got to a meeting it had just adjourned," She heard Vine Deloria make the comment once that if Indians were running the country things would not be better, only slower. According to Dr. Christianson, the culturally different child "is up against it in the classroom." When Pine Point All-Indian School eliminated the bells, she said, "the school still functioned." White middle-class children are weaned on time blocks, said Dr. Christianson, but if a child has not been raised this way, "a 45-minute test can really box him in." "This can be changed,'' she affirmed, "I'm sure of it. " In the matter of' space, she noted that the concept of the straight line is not universal; that Einstein discovered that space is curved. "But the school, homes, land -all are ordered according to the non-Indian concept of the straight line," she said. "Indian people like to sit in a circle where they are all the same and no one is higher." Non-interference is another value stressed by Indian people, according to Dr. Christianson. She noted the importance of competition in Western Civilization. She cited its wars, the stock market and sports. "When schools give grades they are pitting one child against another," she said. "Indians like to compete, but as a group," she said. "When I was in graduate school, the Indian guys, fellows in their 30's and 4o•s, used to play basketball every noon without fail. They never kept score." Indian children are taught to compete as a group. According to Dr. Christianson, individual competition leads to agressive behavior, to showing off. She recalled hearing Clyde Belancourt once saying that white people lead agressive, competitive lives in order to end their lives living like Indians. Dr. Christianson suggested that Indian children be taught to compete in groups in school. Older children should help younger children. "The school must allow for cultural differences," she maintained. "Psychologists use the term'chunking' for the way we remember digit spans," Dr. Christianson said. "Minority children do not automatically 'chunk' the way white children do," Because Indian children do not 'chunk' in the same way as non-Indian children does not mean they are dumb, she said, but because they are culturally different. "It is presumptious of schools to think that Indian children learn the same way as non-Indian children do," she added. Dr. Christianson said that she recognized there are some things "we all have to learn to get along, but that does not mean we have to learn in the same way," �23 22 Indian Children and Cultural Differences (continued) ALPENA'S NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAM Indian children are trained to be independent early in life, according to Dr. Christianson. I do not make decisions for my children on their hair, clothes, when to take showers," she said. "Sometimes I wish I could," she added, smiling. Her children learned to cook and to pack their lunches very early in life. She admitted she does get them up for school, "but I wish I didn't have to. I wish that the school had staggered starting times so that they could decide when they want to go." She maintains that some school requirements are 'busy work.' "A child is expected to complete an entire page of sums even though he has demonstrated he knows how by doing two," she explained. "Some non,.Indians think the Indian child does not have a good self-concept," Dr. Christianson said. "That is not true. It is just that Indian parents do not interfere with them." She defined the tekm •consensus'. "This is the art of decision-making that Indian tribes used," she explained. "Indian meetings are long because there are no Roberts Rules of Order. In this kind of meeting people give, take, walk out, ,but eventually a consensus is arrived at, a decision is made that all agree on," she said. Dr. Christianson said that she attempts to bring out the difficulties of arriving at a consensus in her classes. "I write a simple question on the board, then tell my students they have two hours to decide on the answer by consensus," she said. One question she uses asks for the name of the tribe involved in the 1854 Treaty. "The answer is the Chippewa, which they should readily know," she said. The students debated for two hours, then finally asked if they could decide by vote, according to Dr. Christianson. "Then I said to them, 'The Chippewa had two days to arrive at a consensus after the Treaty of 1854 was presented to them to make a decision involving their giving up enormous amounts of land. The treaty negociations were with white people, culturally different people who spoke a foreign tongue. You had two hours to decide the answer to a simple question. You are all from similar backgrounds and you understand the language in which the question was written, yet you could not arrive at a decision by consensus. The Treaty makers expected the Chippewa people to make a crucial decision that would affect their entire way of life in only two days I ' " Dr. Christianson noted that Dr. Roger Buffalohead's recent survey of Minnesota Indian children in school shows they are still dropping out. "Changes must be incorporated into the school system," she implored, adding, "All children will benefit." Other resource people at the MEA conference were Dr. Frances Svenson, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Michigan; Lester Gemmill, Indian Coordinator, State Department of Education; and Paul Johnson, Consultant Minority Affairs Division, Michigan Education Association, . who was also the conference planner. - Sh'ir1 ey F rancis Alpena Community College's Native American Program is designed to aid Indians toward reaching their educational goals. It has a full time Indian staff which works directly with the students. A Director and two Assistants handle the administrative and instructional aspects of the program. Two student counselors reside in the dorm to assist the student with whatever problems he may also encounter out~ side the administrative area. The goal of this Indian staff is to do everything that is possible and necessary to keep Native American students in school, Each individual student has the privilege of coming and talking with any member of the staff about whatever problems he might have. It endeavors to help the Native American student attain his educational goal. Within the program is "The Native American Council," an Indian club made up of the Indian students enrolled at the college. Its purpose is to involve the student in Indian activities of social and political nature as they relate to today's society. Funded by the Michigan State Department of Vocational Education and Title IV of the Indian Education Act, the Native American Program at Alpena Community College is the only program of its kind in the state providing special services to the Indian, through its Native American Block. During the first semester of study, each Native Ameri• can student is encouraged to be involved in a series of classes especially designed by the Native American Program staff. Called the Native American Block, it includes courses in math, science, social science, and English. The Block is designed especially to meet the needs of students who may not have graduated from high school, or who may have graduated but are unsure of their college career endeavors, It is felt that each student will benefit greatly from the individualized curriculum and the individualized career counseling it offers in his first semester on the campus. Native American instructors team-teach the all-Indian classes in1 the Block with other members of the college faculty, giving the new students someone whom they can more easily identify with in the classroom. For the student wishing to complete high school requirements through the G.E.D. program, classes and testing are available on campus and can be arranged to fit easily into each student's curriculum. The reasons for the concept of the Native American Block are two-fold. First, by meeting the academic needs of the students on an individual basis, the "real" opportunity to achieve in the classroom is offered. Second, by working with Indian instructors in their first semester on campus, the students may more easily begin to associate with the new environment they are entering.

My name is Beatrice Pe te rs. I am from Yakima, Wa shington and am of Apa che/ Tsimphean/Cree descent. I am married to Thomas Peters, Ottawa fro m Charlevoix. We live in Lansing with our two daughters, Leslie and Diana. Tom wo rks for Oldsmobile and I am a Nutrition Aide in Mi chigan State University's Cooperative Extension Service, Expanded Nutrition Pro gram. I met Shirley Francis at the home of Ralph and Blanche West on New Year's Eve. She asked me to write about the Nutrition Program and nutrition for INDIAN TALK. Perhaps you have already heard of the Expanded Nutri -tion Program. It now includes some 28 areas in Michigan. Our main ob jective is to help improve the diets of families through education and to provide education for both youth and adults in the principles of nutrition, diets and the use of foods. With the economy the way it is and with so many people being laid off their jobs, the Nutrition Program is of utmost importance now. Too many of us try to stretch our food budgets to only include food to just fill our stomachs. This is a good goal but an even better one would be to fill our stomachs with nutritious food which not only satisfy our hunger but will provide the necessary fuel I.and body-building nutrients we need each day. What our program does is to educate in ways to stretch our food budgets and to provide shopping hints and recipe ideas for well balanced meals. We also teach families how to garden as well as food preparation and storage. We compare prices of different stores to find out where the bargains are. We teach how to read food labels so we know exactly what we are getting for our money. We compile different household hints, low-cost recipes and food games into a monthly newsletter. Nutrition Aides go through a vigorous training period, plus regular updated training. We have material available to help with many nutritional problems, including weight control. We teach through regular home visits or group meetings. At the Lansing Indian Center we have such a group started. Our program is a free service which is sponsored through the Federal Government. To locate your local Extension office, look in your telephone directory under County Govern°ment, Cooperative Extension Service, Expanded Nutrition ProGram. I hope you )dll make use of this program. Learning can be fun too. Included in this issue's AROUND THE HEARTH column are some useful household hints, a low-cost, high protein main dish and a special nutrition game using the basic four foods. 25 Around the Hearth (Con tinued ) TUNA BARBEQUE 2 cans chunk t una (6½ to 7 oz.) 2 Tablespo ons vi negar 1 large onion 1 teaspoon mustard 1 cup catsup 1/ 2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup water Pepper to taste 2 Tablespoons sugar 6 hamburger buns Drain oil from tuna into a large pan or skillet.

It is not, however, "just another" Indian organization, but was designed to combat the severe and devastating plagues within the Indian population through yet a different tactic. One that strangely enough has not been utilized before. The association sees the athlete's discipline over his physical and mental state as an impregnable fortress against the ruin of alcohol, drugs and delinquency. It sees this self-disipline as crucial to the development of leadership, good health and personal growth. NIAA believes that sports activities are a means of eliminating social problems before they arise as well as assisting youth and adults with physical and educational problems. NIAA is committed to bringing national recognition and stature to Indian people throughout the country through a medium they had one been respected for: physical prowess. The immediate goal of NIAA is to organize and coordinate athletic events and championships on the local, state, regional, national and international level for Indian people. Through its efforts the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) has been persuaded for the first time in 45 years to open its doors to an All-Indian Basketball team. NIAA gathered the best Indian basketball players in the country and sent them to the AAU National Championships in Baton Rouge, Louisiana March 19741 "The first real All-American Team!" It was an historic moment. Success like this can not be reached without tremendous cooperation from Indian country itself. For instance, the Ute Nation at Fort Duschene, Utah, hosted the All-Star try-out camp that prepared for the AAU tournament. Converse Rubber Company donated basketball shoes to the All-American team. As a result of the public relations work by NIAA staff, the Converse Company is now donating shoes to other reservations and Indian communities. The first organizational meeting was held at Reno, Nevada May 1973, Tribes and Indian organizations sponsor a few NIAA board members, but most travel at their own expense. The Board of Directors set as its first goal the formation of a national office and eight regional offices to ensure the perpetual sucess of its programs. To insure stability, the board also set hard and fast regulations regarding membership: 1. Anyone may join NIAA; but a participant in NIAA events must be an enrolled member of NIAA and at least 1/4 degree of Indian blood. 2. In registering, each applicant must provide positive proof of Indian bloodline ancestry and submit their documentation of proof with the membership form. J. Individual membership fees are $5.00. Team mem- NIAA Aims High (continued) 3. Individual membership fees are $5.00. Team Memberships are $25.00. Tribes/Organizations can apply for membership for a minimum fee of $50,00 4. Applications can be obtained from NIAA staff and board members. Members are eligible to compete in national activities sanctioned by NIAA and they will receive a monthly newsletter. An insurance policy that covers accidental injuries during sanctioned competition is included in the membership fee. It is the intent of the National Indian Activities Asso• ciation to insure that its sports activities be under the control of Indian people themselves. With this responsibility in mind NIAA Regional Coordinators are charged with overseeing the organization of NIAA events in their regions. It should also be noted that while sports are now emphasized, Indian people themselves have expressed the wish that this organization be supportive of all Indian activities. But for the nresent assisting the Indian Athlete is NIAA's prime concern. Through its activities the organization hopes to build exemplary models of the pride and self confidence which needs to be re-awakened in some of our people. NIAA believes that its championship events will provide educational experiences and cultural exchanges among Indian people that can never be bought or duplicated by any university. NIAA needs your memberships and support to insure the continued success of its programs.
