-Noted Oarsman Dies at 83

•

John F. Corbet, one of the country's noted oarsmen in his younger I
days, as he appeared at the he~ght of his career in 1893 when he won 1
a $1,000 prize at the Columbian exposition, def eating Edward Clator
in a single sculls race.
1·

Bury Corbet,
Note·d Sculler,
Tomorrow
Funeral services for Jol1n F. Cor•
bet, in his younger days one of the
most fan1ous oarsmen of the country
when that sport ranked high in popularity, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the chapel at
5501 North Ashland avenue. Burial
will be in Elmwood cemetery.
Corbet, who was 83 years old, died
Friday in his home at 6329 North
Francisco avenue. A month ago he
I attended the funeral of Edward Cla•
tor, Corbet's opponent in his last professional race. In 1893, as a feature
of the world's Columbian exposition,
Corbet beat Clator in a single scull
race and won. the then unheard of
purse of $1,000.
Wins U. S. Amateur Title.
I11 his prime, Corbet held the ama•
teur championship of tl1e Unit e.d
Mr. Corbet as ~e appeared in
States for single sculls from 1887
through 1889, defeating sucl1 famous his later years. Funeral services
r o,vers as Edward Hamlon, George will be held tomorrow.
Hosmer, and John Teemer, and
Denny Donohue of Hamilto11, Can.
The defeat of Donohue was Corbet's
biggest thrill because the Chicagoan 1
tl1at day was the under dog in the
betti11g.
.
In 1887 Corbet, representing Chicago, won the senior singles championship of the Mississippi Valley
Rowing association, and the North•
western university race. On Lake
• Chatauqua, N. Y., he repeated this feat
, a11d the following day defeated the
l best amateurs of the United States
a.nd Canada.
1

Record Stands 15 ¥ears.
The next year, at Duluth, Minn.,
Corbet rowed tl1e quarter mile in one
minute and lD seconds. This mark
. remai11ed 011 the records of. the Arna, teur Athletic union for fifteen years.
~ At that time Corbet was a rmember of
the old Farragut Boat club, to whicl1
leading Chicago sportsmen belonged.
Soon after the old world's fair, Corbet b e came coach of the Grand
Rapids Boat and Canoe club, a position he held for seven years. In all
except one year his crew swept the
v1aters of the central west in every
rowing eve11 t. He the11 became coach
of the Lincoln Park Boat and Canoe
club, remaining t h ere for twelve
years, during the time of the late
Walter Eckersall of University of
Chicago football fame who became a
sports w r i t e r for THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE.

Corbet had been employed by the
Peoples Gas Light and Coke company
s.ince 1873. He retired on a pension
in 1921. A son, George H., survives.

One Son Killed in Action.
Another son, John F . Jr., was killed
in action with the marines . during
the world war. The son, who had
bee11 trained by his father, at the
time of his death held the Mississippi

:B.,or the ·first time in the l1istory of
the Grand Rapids Boat a11d Canoe club,
its members will welcome horJ1e the
,vinners of the senior eight - oar cen ...
tral states meeting when the 'n1en vtho
,~ton -yesterday's race at Peoria ar1~ive
in the city tonight.
In 1914 Grand

•
eigl1t-oar cre,v, put not a senior one.
Tl1e junior crew won first place that
year at Philadelphia. Very fe,,r crews
have ever accomplished what the
Grand Rapids eight-oar crew did ~t
Peoria. The one crew, entered in both
the junior ?,nd ~enior events, won both
races. ·
G1~eat cFedit must also be given Alfred Davis, who, after winning the sin gle shell ju11ior _event at Peoria, doubled
with Harold Hart,vick . and '\v·on the
doubles event in the sa:me class. Both
men are first year men. Coach J·ack
Corbett has co,Tered himself with glory
by turning out wonderful crews year
after year. Peoria has given the Grand
Rapids oarsmen their full share of
credit for the wonderful fights they p-qt.
up in the races.· If they did not cross
the line first they were usua-lly in second - place and pgp.ting hard to gain
tte ·victory'. A crew of only lO men
went from here, while 40 were at the
regatta from Detroit.
The trophies, plaques and medals won
by the Gra11d Rapids entrants ,vill be
exhibited at one of the do,,rntown stores
in tl1e near future. The me11 will a-1:ri"\re
in Grand Rapids tonight at the Union

Boat Club Crew Home After
Winning · Central .States
Classic.

-

Tired but happJr, and with 30 ~old
tnedals and five silver plaques in
their baggage, the 14 members of
the Boat and Canoe club crews
arrived in the city Sunday night
after having given an excellent account of themselves at the three
regattas at Peoria.
Detroit won the high point trophy
but to the Grand Rapids eight goes
the honor of winning, for the first
'time in the history of W-Bstern racing, three firsts in as many days.
The locals brought home t,vice as
many medals with them as did any
other club, despite the fact that
the Detroit clubs had entered 42
men, while but 14 -represented the
Boat and Canoe club.
The thriller of the three regatas
came ·s aturda:," · afternoon when
the race between tl1e Detroit
and
\
.

Grand Rapids eight was staged.
There were nine ' e11tries in this
,
ev·ent, but all interest '\\"as centered
•
on the battle between the t,,,,.o
Michigan cre"rs. The men from the
Auto city ,vere 01)enly predicting a
~~in over the locals and much
money was being, placed on then-i.

};&gt;erhaps the credit for winnit?-g
this race should go to Coxswain
Peter DeYoung. Members of the
eight ad1nit that it \'.\ras by his work
that they w ·e re able to nose out the,
Detroit crew.
The finish was so
close that the winner was not known·
to the spectators until the judges
ga·ve their decision. The mile and r r - ~ - - •

WINNING THE EIGHT.
Irt all ro,ving circles, mhether college,
outside amateur or pro·f ess1onal, the
classic is the €ight-oared race . Last
~·ear our Grand Rapids Bo,a t and Canoe
club carried -off the high point trophy
in the Central States amateur/ ro,ving
re gatt•a on Grand r.iver, but to the insiders the m~sive silver cup 1-\ras only a
consolation. In a sunset fini•sh above
the -o ld Xort;h Park bridge the Detroit
eight, losing its lead to the locals with
every stroke, had managed by ,a scant
length to pull .o ut ahead.
•
ednesday, after a j,•ear's "raiting and
trai11ing, and still as a "junior,, aggregation because it had not ,,ron a first,
the local crew •c ruptured the eight-oared
race from the Detroit Boat club in the
Southwestern regatta at Peoria and
then on Friday I\Venit into the senior
eight event, the sum.mit of rov;ing ambition, and nosed out Detroit again. The

Falllous Coach Of Many Chicago Rowing Teams, Including the Well-Known Iroquois, Has Worked Wonders With Local Oarsmen' Enter ~'Big
l
League'' Next Year.
•
---------------------

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-One of the greatest aquatic coaches in America came
Jto town a week ago Saturday, and his name ls John F. Corbet, commonly
l called "Jack."
You have heard of Teemer, Panlan, Gardner, l\tiurphy, Ward, Nicholls and
11umerous others who have made a specialty of rowing in both scull and sweep
work, but the king of them all is no other than Jaclr Corbet, the olq Iroquois
•
scull, the same Corbet that made Chicago famous away back In
the early 80's.
Chicago was then a real rowing center. With its vast water front, it has
gone back, and today is the laughing stock of the country, as far as aquti&lt;Y
sport is concerned. We have held water
carnivals and regattas, but they have
.,
been only side shows.
••••••
CHICAGO WAS FAMOUS IN THE SO'S.
Going back to the early 80's, Chicago had the follo,ving boat clubs: The
Farragut, Iroquois, Delaware, Catlin, Pullman, Evanston, Quintard, Riverdale,
Social, Douglas and South Chicago. All these clubs were ,vell equipped with
I
}laraphernalia for rowing, and had memberships ranging
from 25 to 250, and
almost in every instance they were enthusiastic and active.

(This is the 22nd of a series of sports pictures dealing with athtetes well
known to Grand Rapids' sporting fraternity. These pictures date back sev~
eral years and wilT be run as ~n interesting feature to The Herald sport page.)
. Very few rowers of today remember this femous quartet that rowed Qn
the old Owashtan()ng crew. The above picture was taken 37 years ago and
shows two of the best known men in Grand Rapids. Charlie McQuewan, still
a member of the Grand Rapids Boat and Canoe club, is the handsome youth
standing next to Ab Carroll, superintendent of police in Grand Rapids. Ab
is the powerful lcoking youngster at the extreme right. He was one of the
best rowers in the state a.t that time. Last week l\1r. Carroll gave an inter•
esting speech at the annual Boat and Canoe club baRquet, telling of days
when he and Charlie McQuewan row-edin ti,e same ~hell .

The club hl the early nineteen
1undreds had virtually no CQmpe:ltion from automobiles or golf
~lubs and for years had a full membership of 4(¥), reaching its peak in
1q. At that time Charles McQuewan was president and prominen.t Qfflcials of the club included
Lon McConnell, Joseph R. Taylor,
llunfley R11saell and others. They
decided to employ the best rowing

Unltnd States and he was employed.
Corbet was with the Grand Rapids
club from 1909 to about 1922 with
the excepti~ of about two years
whetl ~ coached the Chicago Rowing clab. Crews of single, double,
four and eight-oar shells represented Grand Rapids at the Nattonal Rowing association regatta,

sociation regatt&amp;, and Central
States Rowing associ~tion regattas.
During this time two of the crews
representing Grand Rapids won
signal honors. In 1912 the winner
in the National in Peoria was a

States regatta. S~inberg was taken
sick in the night and Schopps was

�WELCOME

Indian Hills

The Three Fires Pow Wow Committee 1987
wishes to welcome everyone to its eighth
annual Pow Wow.
This Pow Wow
originated as a honoring of the original
people of Michigan, the Ottawa, Chippewa,
and the Potawatomi Nations. It is to these
three Nations, the name Three Fires refers
to. Our Pow Wow is titled HOMECOMING
OF TIIE 1HREE FIRES. Many of our people
return home for this weekend event. They
travel from as far west as California, and as
far south as Florida to meet with their friends
and relatives. The members of our committee
are proud to be able to host this
HOMECOMING.

Trt/dinJ Compt/ny
&amp; lndit/n Art Gt/1/ery

The Pow Wow has become an annual event of
the sharing of our culture, to both the Anishnawbe (Indian) and the non-Indian members of
our community. We hope that you will gain a
greater understanding and appreciation of our
Native American culture through participation
The event will feature Native
today.
American culture through music, dance, arts
and crafts and food. As Anishnawbe, we are
proud to use this opportunity to display our
rich heritage and culture. We hope that the
community will see that Indian people are not
extinct, but maintain as part of today's society.

It is along the banks of the Grand River, called
by the Anishnawbe, Owashtanong, that in
1761, in the place where the rapids flow the
fastest, that Chief Pontiac assembled members from the Nations of Michigan. We were
later referred to as the Three Fires Confed&amp;
racy. The existence of the Three Fires Confederacy assured territorial control and protection from other groups. It is along these banks
of the Owashtanong that many Anishnawbe
villages existed. Chief Na-Qua-K&amp;Zik (Noonday) had his village located just north of Bridge
St Chief M&amp;Gis-0-Nee-Nee [Wampum-man)
had his village located near Fulton St. It was
here where Treaty Councils took place. It is
along this river where generations of Native
people were born, lived, and died. And it is
here today, where we honor the people of the
Three Fires, and welcome them to share a
part of their culture, with the many cultures
that will be present today. Treat your eyes to
the movements and regalia of our dancers,
and let your ears and heart listen to our heartbeat, the Drum, and allow yourself to become
part of this grand celebration.

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

�WHAT I THINK
ABOUT BEING A
NATIVE AMERICAN

Bti LL Pti RI&lt; FLOR ti L
8 VALLEY AVE. , N. W.
GRAND RAPIDS, Ml 49504

I feel great because I think we
Native Americans are the best
communicators with the Great
Spirit.
We have extended
families. We look out for people
who are non-relatives, who we call
brothers and sisters. Our ancestry
records are really interesting,
more than some other culturalities.
Native Americans have more love
than any other human beings.
Native Americans are cool. I'm
just happy I have a culture,
tradition, and glad to be somebody
like a Native American, because if
I wasn't anything, I wouldn't have
a tradition, culture, or tribe.
Although we weren't the chosen
ones who could see Jesus, we can
see him in our hearts and I respect
that.

One day I went to a pow wow. It
was in Petoskey. I was dancing, it
was fun. Our family had to spend
the night in Petoskey. It was very
fun. Then, 5 days later we had to
go home. Then 1 year later, we
went to River Side Park. People
have something to eat, something
to drink and the dance. They could
drum. They could do anything.

WHAT A
POWWOW
MEANS TO ME

.JI~ &amp; {i8/'e/l/le/'-

.Au~

&amp;

A&amp;wo.

A pow wow is an extended
family reunion. It brings back the
traditions, cultures, and legends
about the olden days and olden
ways. A pow wow is good because
non-Indians can learn the Indian
culture and traditions too. Some
other cultures, they are stingy,
but the Indians share their
cultures. It' a ceremony to gain
back our culture. We meet new
people there and when we go to
another pow wow, you'll see those
same people again and then you '11
meet newer people every time you
go to a pow wow and that's how we
develop an extended family.

..f.,s/-···'',,,,,."]\ up'

It is important to keep our
culture because if we lose it, we
won't have a culture or tradition.
We will forget all the old ways. We
won't have a legend to tell about
our culture.
If we lose our
culture, we won't have anything,
all will be lost.

WELCOME TO
THREE FIRES FESTIVAL
Here on the banks of Owashtanong
(Grand River) dwelt until 150 years ago the
Anishnawbe people, members of the Three
Fires, a loose confederation of Chippewa,
Ottawa, and Potawatomi. On these banks
the Anishnawbe built their summer
dwellings - wigwams - of saplings, cattail
reeds, and bark. They did so in order to
take advantage of the excellent supply of
foodstuffs in the area, particularly the fish
that abounded in the rapids.
Late in the spring, after closing up
operations at their maple sugar bush to the
east, the people returned year after year to
set up their summer village and to plant

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

All Native Americans should not
drink. Some drink because of their
problems, some drink for fun.
When an Indian drinks for fun, it
becomes a problem. It's a problem
to the Indians because, in the
past, the non-Indians gave the Indians alcohol and it drove the male
Indians from the female Indians
because they were addicted to it so
much. Now-a-days, most male Indians are alone, with children but
a divorce, because the female
Native doesn't want drinking affecting her children. When a male is
drunk, he might do something to
his children and/or wife. But this
too can happen to the female.
They can get addicted to alcohol,
" that all they want is alcohol and
they don't want anything to do with
their family, culture, or their
lives. The male should act like a
man or a father or even a husband
and respect the female and the
children.
But then, we should
respect men too.
Because to
respect men, is because they help
the children, wife, etc.

.FROM THE POW WOW COMMITTEE:

Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council and the Indian

community is proud that the Three Fires Pow Wow, co-sponsored
with the City of Grand Rapids, has become a major summer event
in this area. Last year over 20,000 spectators attended.

Moving the site of the Pow Wow to the Riverbend Pavillion
was positive as it is a much better site for such a cultural event.
This year's Pow Wow is dedicated to all those who have
followed the Pow Wow trail and who now walk in the Spirit world.
Last year at the close of the Pow Wow, Mr. Raymond Ramos
suffered a fatal heart attack. He and his family had spent the
weekend with us. Mr. Ramos will be honored at 2:30 pm on

Saturday with the planting of a cedar tree in his honor.
We are glad that you are part of the circle here today.

�POW WOW ETIQUETTE

Everyone is welcome at Pow Wows;
however, it is important to realize that the
dances are ceremonial as well as social events
and should be observed with respect.
1. During Grand Entry, Flag Songs, and
Honor Songs, please stand, remove hats, and
refrain from taking photographs.
2. Eagle feathers are especially sacred to
the American Indians. If an eagle feather falls
from a dancer's regalia, a special ceremony
will take place to retrieve it. When an eagle
feather is being retrieved from the dance
circle, please refrain from taking photographs.
3. Always ask permission before taking
photographs of dancers when they are outside
the dance circle. Also, please ask permission
before taking photos of drummers and their
drums.

4. The East entrance of the dance circle
is reserved for dancers. Spectators are asked
to refrain from congregating in this area.
5. The dance arena is for participants
only. The arena is blessed prior to the event.
In this respect, we ask spectators to consider
this sacred ground for the duration of the pow
wow. You may be invited to enter the dance
arena during the Inter-Tribal or Honor Dances.
6. The dancers' clothing is called
regalia, dance clothes, or dance outfit, not
"costumes."
7. The chairs immediately surrounding
the dance circle are for elders, dancers and
their families only.
8. If you have a question, ask a member
of the Pow Wow committee, designated by the
red ribbons attached to their button.

�POWWOW HISTORY

The Pow Wow has historical, spiritual, and social
value to American Indian people. In addition to participating in the traditional dance and song, the people visit
with family and friends, and make new acquaintances.
Often it brings together families who may live apart
throughout the year. It is also a chance to demonstrate and
display artistic ability with the many arts and crafts
common to the Indian people.
Pow Wows are more than social events. They are a
time of learning and carrying on a rich cultural heritage.
The Pow Wow has also become a means of providing an
opportunity for cultural sharing with non-Indian people.
There is a spiritual significance in the dances, songs,
customs observed, and even in the preparations for the
event. The Pow Wow provides an opportunity for our
young to learn from our elders and carry on traditions.
In Michigan alone, numerous Pow Wows are hosted
by Indian groups and communities throughout the year.
Modern transportation has made it easier to travel from
place to place for these events. This has established intertribal friendships throughout the Great Lakes.
An important duty prior to the gathering is
blessing the grounds where the event will be held. This is
to insure that only good thoughts will occur there, and
everyone will have a good time. Once the ground is blessed
it is considered sacred, and everyone is asked to keep it as
clean as possible. No drugs or alcohol are allowed on the
Pow Wow grounds. Morning prayers are offered at a
sunrise service the morning of the event.
Traditional or Contest?
There are two types of Pow Wows. The contest or
competition Pow Wow is one in which there are cash prizes
offered for dancing. The dance contest is judged according
to certain criteria, with prizes awarded to dancers who
demonstrate the best ability in his/her particular style.
There are categories for different ages and styles of dance.
Traditional Pow Wows, such as ours, offer no
competition dancing. These events offer a variety of
dances for the participants, and often include strictly-forfun dances such as the two-step. This weekend, we will be
celebrating a naming ceremony for a small child, and a
tree-planting ceremony for someone who has passed into
the spirit world.

�The Drums &amp; Their Songs
The drum not only sets the tempo of songs and
dances at a Pow Wow, it is a very important symbol to
Indian people. The sound represents the heartbeat of our
people, our Mother Earth and our nations. The drums'
circular shape represents the unity the Indian people and
our oneness with the universe.
The traditional hide drum is made by stretching a
hide over a wood frame and lacing the two sides together.
The singers are able to control the pitch of the drum by
warming the hide near a small fire or in the sun. Another
commonly used drum is the bass drum. All drums are
treated with respect. Our elders say that when songs are
sung with these drums they are heard by the spirit world.
Each drum has a lead singer who leads off the songs
in his language. Each song has a special meaning or story
to the person who carries that song with them. Some
songs are very old, some are newly composed. While many
of them are of a serious nature, such as the veterans' song
and honor song, some are humorous and meant to cause a
smile, and help us to not take life so seriously. Singers are
expected to know a song for every type of dance. Songs are
carried by the singers in their memories and not written
down. You will often see a young boy sitting at the drum;
this is when training begins for learning and remembering
songs. Among Great Lakes Indians, women do not sit at
the drum, but they do sing with the drummers, Joining
them in certain songs.
Notice that the Pow Wow grounds are arranged in a
series of circles: the drums, the drummers, the singers, the
dancers, the dance area, and the traders. The circle is a
sacred symbol in our Indian ways.

�HEAD PARTICIPANTS

Head Pow Wow people are selected for their knowledge, skill, and
ability to carry out their tasks. It is a great honor to be selected to one of
these positions.
Master of Ceremonies: John Bailey
It is the responsibility of the MC to coordinate the Pow Wow activities
and keep events running smoothly. All announcements, information and
explanation of events are made by the MC. The MC must have knowledge of
all the songs, dances, customs, culture, tribes, and general information
about Pow Wows, as he is expected to explain all aspects of Pow Wow
activities during the event. He must be "on stage" for the entire Pow Wow.
Host Drum: Little Weasel Thunderchild Singers (Shingue-sase)
The Host Drum consists of five or more male singers. The Host Drum
leads off each of the Pow Wow's dance sessions with the Grand Entry Songs.
They also provide any specialty songs requested, and are ready and capable
of singing any song requested. A typical drum group may have a repertoire
of hundreds of songs.
Head Male Veteran Dancer: Simon Francis
Head Female Veteran Dancer: Josie Walters
The Head Veteran Dancer is one of the most important dancers in the
Pow Wow. He or she carries the eagle feather staff during Grand Entry, and
leads the rest of the dancers into the arena. The Head Veteran Dancer
represents all American Indians who have given their service and lives in
defense of our country.
Head Male Dancer: Tim Gibson
Head Female Dancer: Mon-ee Chivis
It is an honor to be chosen as a head dancer. Head dancers are chosen
for their extensive knowledge of the cultural meaning and purpose of Pow
Wows. Head dancers are very skilled in their style of dancing and set an
example of proper Pow Wow etiquette by upholding the traditions passed
down from our American Indian ancestors. The Head Male Dancer follows
the Head Veteran Dancer and the other flag bearers into the arena during
Grand Entry, and is expected to lead off, with the Head Female Dancer, all
Inter-Tribal and specialty dances throughout the Pow Wow.
Arena Director: Larry Peshaba
The Arena Director is often the busiest person at the Pow Wow. He
is responsible for coordinating everything which will ensure the dancing
proceeds smoothly. If any singer or dancer has a problem with an on-site
deficiency, the arena director makes every effort to remedy the situation.
He must make sure all the drummers and dancers have everything they
need to participate in the Pow Wow. He coordinates the Grand Entries and
specialty dances, and deals with anyone behaving inappropriately during the
dancing or in the arena.

�THE DANCES

American Indian dances are an expression of
thankfulness to the Great Spirit, as the people dance in a
sacred circle around the drums. The circle represents the
cycle of life, the moon, sun and earth. The drum arbor,
which is traditionally covered with cedar is in the center.
The drums are the heartbeat of the Pow Wow and of the
people who dance. Dancing is done in a community spirit.
It is a time when friends and relatives come together to
celebrate with each other. Over the years. the dances have
changed to reflect the growth of traditions. You will see
two styles of regalia on the dancers. The traditional
dancers use natural items and colors, with designs based
on nature: the fancy dancers use brighter, more eyecatching colors and materials.
Today a Pow Wow begins with the blessing of the
grounds and the Flag song. Indians have the same regard
for the Flag Song as for the National anthem. All people
are asked to stand and remove their hats as a sign of
respect for the veterans who have served their country.
The dance for the Flag Song is led by a male veteran. The
Indian people dance behind the veteran dancer in respect
for the elders and the flags of the Indian nations and the
United States.
Grand Entry:

The Grand Entry is the first dance of the Pow Wow.
The dancers will enter the dance circle from the east
entrance, usually in single file. The Eagle Staff and the
United States flag are carried at the head of the line. The
dancers at the front of the line have a place of honor,
respect, and responsibility. The dancers create a circle on
the outer perimeter of the dance area, representing the
sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and their
ancestors to witness this physical testimony of the continuation of traditional values.

Mens' Traditional Dance:
Acting out feats of bravery through dance, dancers
use story telling movements. They represent an older,
distinguished sector of the Pow Wow. Traditional dancers
may wear ribbon skirted regalia with beadwork, pieces of
hide, and a roach headdress of deer tail, porcupine quills
or horse-hair. Moving clockwise around the drum,
dancers may interpret animals with side-to-side movements of their heads. They may wear buckskin, a bustle, a
breast plate of bone and a roach.
What to watchfor: Most interesting is watching
the story line develop throughout the dance. Even with the
slow tempo, the rhythm must be in harmony with the
drum. Try to interpret each motion and compare the different ways dancers imitate the eagle, or the porcupine, or
other animals and birds.
Mens' Fancy Dance:
Today's mens' colorful Fancy Dance is based on
the traditional and Warrior Society dances. The dancer's
talent and skill is reflected in his footwork, body movements and his ability to stay in step with the drumbeat.

8

�What to watchfor. Following the rhythm of the
drum with the steps, the motion of the head and the flow of
the body are important elements in the Fancy Dance.
Since the steps are individual, the expression of the
emotion of the music and the change of pace from a slower
style to a faster beat are important. As in all Indian
dancing, the finish in exact time with the song ending is
significant.
Grass Dance:
Traditionally, people traveled and often made new
camps. Different tasks were given to those most suited for
them. The energy of young men made it natural for them
to help set up a dancing place. As the grass was very tall in
the days before the land was worked into farms, a group of
young men moved around the common area, and pushed
down the grass with their feet, pressing it again and again
until the area was more comfortable to move through.
Their movements recalled the wind restlessly swirling the
grass.
Originating on the northern plains, where men
wore crow or sweetgrass braided belts in the traditional
Grass Dance, today's dance is like the original because the
whole body is used to create free-flowing movements to a
slower drum beat than that of other men's dances. It may
come the closest of all to imitating the dances of old.
Because many of the movements come from the upper
torso, grass or yarn dancers exhibit a certain swaying
grace and abstract style.
What to watchfor: The motion of the bodies causes
the flowing regalia to move in a way reminiscent of the
long, blowing grass of the prairie. The dance is an expression of the harmony of the universe and is danced in
perfect time to the music, responding as the grass rises to
the motion of the wind.
Womens' Traditional Dance:
This dance of honor reflects the women in
American Indian society, including their roles as givers of
life, keepers of home and family, decision-makers, and
heads of households. Some dancers dance in one position
or area. Others move clockwise around the drum.
Although styles of dress vary, buckskin or cloth dresses
with ribbons and shells are often worn. Some carry a
shawl draped over one arm and hold a feather fan in the
other hand.
What to watchfor: Discipline is essential to the
slow, graceful movements of the dance. Dancing in perfect
harmony with the drum, while never breaking the sedate
spirit, is the essence of the dance. The clips and sways are
executed with no break in dignity.
Womens' Fancy Dance:
This dance is popular with young women today as a
competitive piece at Pow Wows. This style of dancing is
sometimes called fancy shawl. The dancer makes her
colorful shawl, worn over the shoulders, dance with her.
Creativity and smoothness are the keys to an outstanding
performance. It requires nimbleness to perform the fast
footwork, spins and leaps.
What to watchfor. Since each dancer has her own
individual style, the essence is how well the steps and
motions express and harmonize with the drums. Being in
time with the beat is important, as is the ability to end
the dance precisely.

�The Jingle Dress Dance:
At a time when there was widespread sickness and
weakness among the people, many were searching for a
way to restore the health of their community. One young
girl had a dream in which she saw how effective prayers
could be made. The next day she went to a wise grandmother, a medicine woman, who helped her with the
realization of her dream. They sewed onto a dress of
beautiful fabric many small cones of metal. Each one was
tied with a prayer. And when it was worn in the dance, the
dress made a jingling sound recalling the saying of constant prayer.
The Jingle Dress Dance is a dance of pride and
dignity, which allows a significant amount of individual
expression. The jingle dress is not only vexy colorful, but
it furnishes much of the musical accompaniment for the
dance. Made from snuff can tops, the jingles may be a
woman's answer to the bells on men's outfits. A jingle
dancer's movements are more confined and rigid than a
fancy or traditional dancer's. Hands are kept at the waist.
The jingle dress's tight fit allows the dancer limited
movement.
What tD watchfor: Dance steps and body
movement which are not in time to the music are easily
detected because of the music of the dress itself.. Pride and
grace are evident in the attitude of the dancers, and a
certain reverence is exhibited.
Veterans' Dance:
The Head Veteran Dancers lead off this dance. All
veterans are invited to join in this honor dance, which is a
special tribute to those who have served their countxy.
Inter-Tribal Dances:
The dances are sometimes called friendship dances
and are a chance for evexyone to join in the dancing. It is
not necessaxy to be dressed in regalia to participate. The
Master of Ceremonies will often announce the intertribals, and encourage the audience to join in.
The Give-Away:
In Indian culture, honor and prestige is not heaped
on the person who accumulates material goods selfishly.
The greatest respect is given to those who Give-Away their
personal wealth. This might be done to announce the
change in status for an individual, or more commonly, in
honor of a friend or relative. In either case, it is not the
value of the gifts that is important. What is important is
the gesture. The gesture illustrates the lack of selfishness
in the giver, and the giving of gifts has the effect of
strengthening and unifying bonds among the community.
The person who receives a gift is as honored as the person
who gives the gift. The Give-Away is a fitting climax for
the Pow Wow. It caps off a community celebration with a
present of friendship, unselfishness. and goodwill that
will never be forgotten.

BOOOHOOl

STATE INDIANS TO DIVIDE LlND AWARD

September's herel Hurray! It's
time to start buying school clothes
and lli.D.Jdiu: in with the shopper's
at all the various Malls around
you.

The Northern Michigan Ottawa Association will meet in Petoskey thi:a
September to determine the eligibility of tribal members for a portion
of a $1.5 million land claim settlement.

School's just around the corner and
soon all the children will be gone
off to classes. Seems like when
vacation-time first started, the
children were up-and-at-them at
8:00 in the morning, (every morning).
But now that school will soon be
opening, it's a different story,
they tend to sleep in ¢11111:00.
Well, I guess that's the way the
ball bounces.

An estiaated 2,000 to 3,000 members
of the Ottawa and Chippewa tribes
will share in the money, which was
authorized by Congress last year
to settle a claim involving an 1821
treaty.

MICHIGAN'S BA.NON INDIAN FISH SALES

REVERSED
MUSK.IDOft - (AP) - State efforts to
prevent Indiana fro• selling their
fish catches drew a stinging rebuff yesterday from a federal judge.

Mee-gwetchl

THE EDITOR•

U.S. District Judge Noel Fox enjoined
the State Departaent of Natural Resources (DNR) from trying to block
fish sales by Indians. He said the
DNR's efforts were "blatant discrimination."
Fox ordered the DNR within 48 hours
to withdraw a June 15 letter from
George Dahl, the department's law
enforcement director.
Dahl had written every fish wholesaler in Michigan. Part of Dahl's
letter said "a wholesale fish dealer
is ••• not authourized to sell Indiancaught fish of any species." He also
warned dealers that buying from
Indiana could mean losing their
licenses.

The new issue of Akweaaane Motes

would like to purchase a few, ask
for Toni or Margaret at the front
desk and one of them wi~ be able

the price of ,50¢.

1 V. Alexis of Benton Har.ously holding the Office
iairman, was elected Chair:lamatioR. Ha. Viola Peter:, the outgoing Chairman

moved that Hr. Alexis be elected by
acclamation and indicated she would be
available to help the new Chairman
thro~gb any difficulties that arise.

Ha. Joan Bemis of L'Anse, Michigan,
was elected Vice-Chairman. Ha. Bemis
has served on the Commission since
July of 1976, and her election as
Vice Chairman marks a new trend of
ideas taking place on the Commission.
Hs. Ilene Tuffelmire of Grand Rapids
was elected Secretary, replacing
Doris Adams of Petoskey. Ha. Tuffelmire was also appointed in July of
1976, and as with all the other Officers, will serve until the second
meeting following appointment of the
Commissioners by Governor Milliken.
The new Chairman stated his goal while
in office will be to chart a new direction for the Commission into areas
of Indian concern which are vital
to the Indian people. During the next
year it is expected that the Commission will phase out its technical
assistance role and begin concentrating on addressing the problems created
by the Indian hunting and fishing controversy and itelllS of a nature which
can best be addressed by working with
State and Federal Agencies, the Legislature and the Congress.

Mr. Alexia, a member of the Potawatomi
Tribe, and longtime resident of Benton
Harbor was first appointed to the Commission by Governor Milliken in 1973,
and has served as Vice Chairman since
1974. He is married and has four
children and has been very active in
several Indian organizations in the
Sou.t hwestern part of Michigan. This
marks the first time the Commission ha
has elected a Potawatomi person as
Chairman since it beginning in 1966.

They further proved their versatility
by stringing teeth, bones, stones,
fossils, vegetal materials and freshwater pearls which they used for
adornment.
With the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, glass beads were introduced to the American Indian. Europeans traded them for furs, used them
as gifts to win friends among the
Indians, and found them helpful when
negotiating treaties.
Indian women soon became very adept
with this new found craft and before
long, beadwork adorned many of their
personal articles such as bags, knife
cases, items of clothing, and ceremonial and utilitarian objects. As
the women became more skillful, the

Beadwork became an important form of
self-expression when, in the nineteenth century, Indian life came
under heavy domination from the United
States Government. Pressure continued
to be applied in the twentieth century
to the Indian populace to subordinate
their own values and cultures in favor
of the white mans. Many gave up their
beadwork and other skills, but in re.
cent years there has been a resurgence of interest .to learn again and
retain their traditional crafts which
resulted in the creation of some
spectacular beadwork.
In addition to the display of prehistoric and European glass beads and
the vast array of objects decorated
with beadwork, there will be a film

Ni'CA attacks Deloria's Book

In a letter to the Executive Director
of the Field Foundation, National
Tribal Chairman Association President Joe DeLaCruz said that the
Foundation's publication A Better
Day for Indians by Vine Deloria, Jr.,
contained Hmisinformation, inaccuracy
and near-slander about American
Indian tribal governments and their
elected leaders."
The letter said "this vitriolic
publication plays into the hands
of anti-Indian organizations whose
goal is to destroy tribal governments
and to claim our dwindling natural
resources."
NTCA asked the Field Foundation to
publish refutation of the Deloria
pamphlet to be prepared by a writer
of NTCA's choice and to cease dissemination of the Deloria work.

"We're looking for information principally," MacDonald said. "We believe
they have a certain amount of information and technology that would be

MacDonald declined to identify the
countries with which the Indians met

He said- the discussions were 1nitiated
by the Indians and that a statement
would be issued after this week's
meeting.
Among the tribes represented in the
discussions are the Apache, Sioux,
Navajo, Crow, Blackfeet, Shoshone,
Cheyenne, Utes, Pueblo, Chippewa,
Cree, and Yakima. They represent
about two-thirds of the Native American
population, and their reservations

I Am a Choctaw

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

under the Dawes Act in 1887.
As result of this process called
civilization, the Native American
woman began to feel a break in the
extended family system. The extended
family soon was to develop into a
nuclear family vi.th less security for
widowed, single and aged women who
were a part of the extended family.
Kinship patterns were realigned. The
Indian community soon was to become
self-sufficient through individual
land ownership. Some Indian women
were encouraged to marry white men
as a sign of being civilized. The
Native American community norms of
generosity, hospitality and interdependence were soon to be on of the
past. "The End of the Trail", a
sculpture that depicted the Indian
as tired and dejected, soon became
America's image of a "vanishing
race."
The Native American did not vanish!
In 1970, the population totaled
792,7'?/J, reflecting a growth of 51
percent between 1960 and 1970.
Since 1890, the Indian population
has grown by 208 percent. The 1960
and 1970 censuses were the only ones
in which self-identification was the
basis for enumerating the Indian population.

occupations. Only 9 percent of the
men were employed at a professional
and technical occupation. For every
1100 all American families earned,
Indian families made about '61.
I believe that the Native American
woman can work and be supportive of
a movement that adresses itself to
the basic issue of human rights for
both women and men. Because of
strong family ties, it would be more
difficult for the Native woman to
identify with movements that were
antimale of antifamily. At the same
time, she must not allow herself to
be swallowed by a movement that approaches her only on an identity
as a minority woman. It is a mistake
to assume that all minority cultures
are alike. It is a greater mistake
to assume that all Indian tribes
are alike. It would be wrong for
a woman who has never shared the culture and history of the Native American experience to define the identity
of the Indian woman. This would be
equally true of the brother who, in
his right to be free, may unintentionally oppress the woman.~

Each culture experiences stereotyping of the woman as portrayed in
the school textbooks and media publications. The Native woman is no

MY CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL FILLED TRIP
{OR HOW TO PACK A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
lliTO 'N''rNE SH!SRT DAYS) • Part two
By Vir·ginia Medacco Herr

Spirits still in high gear, I returned
from Stratford, on Friday October 6th,
at about 10 PM. I spent Saturday with
my family. But to unwind was impossible,
since the very next day I would be
boarding a plane with my sister Kathy
Bowen, and friend Dora Harris, for
Niagara Falls to attend the 10th annual
convention of the National Indian Education Association. Could this really
be me??? More adventures ahead!!!
.SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH.

After a sleepless night {I mean honestly,
how COULD I sleep'?), I was up and packing. How did I ·get into all this? Well,
being a member of the Kelloggsville
Schools Indian Parent Committee, I was
pursuaded to go by our Coodinator, Mr.
Timothy Moore.

Departure time was soon upon us. The
three of us went thro!.1gh that gismo
•
metal detector thing, and then moved on,
but only after they were sure we were ·
not going to hi-jack the plane and head
for Wounded Knee or the Little Big Horn
or someplace like that.
"Do you have your tickets?" asked my
practical level headed sister 1 (being
throughly familiar with the antk:3 of
her scatter-brained sister).
"Of course I do!" I answered assuredly 1
as I fumbled through my purse as .:. m.at.-·
ter of routine. A more frantic effort
ensued to locate th(=l!l 9 when they wern' t
where I expected them to be. I just
knew they were in my purse. They were
there only a minute ago! Panic seized
me as I realized that they were no where
to be found in either purse or pocke~::.,
and we were only minutes away from getting on that plane.

To look at the outside it doesn't look
like much. Step inside and see the
busy people, trying to help their people; to achieve some of the ti1ings and ideals
that a good share of peopole take for
granted,
We care for cur elderly, young; all ages.
To some this is a place to gather. Whether it be for business, personal or social reasons, And I for one, am happy
and proud to be a part of this place,
though the small bit I contribute, and
thankful that it is here. This is just
my point of view .••

A FRIEND TO: GRAND RAPIDS INTER-TRIBAL COUNCIL
RE:

We crossed a little churchyard next to
the hotel and then down a few small steps
to the street which dead-ended directly
al a charming mall (which was part of an
elaborate 1esign, which included the conven U.on .center 1 an all glass mul ti-s toried ~iinter garden, and yet another mall
e·~tending toward the fal.ls) •

The mall was tree-lined w:Lth park benche::~, flowers and old fashioned street
lamps. To our left the mall extended
to the winter garden. To our right, it
ended at a huge plaza that was connected
to the ultra-modern convention center.

�lNDIAN TRAILS
Indian trails now are gone
Gene 1 ilrn smoke in airy blue
Faded &amp;[; their camp f'ire lights
Long :;ince have faded too,
Here the warrior sought redress
From the shame of ill defeat
Goins; swift1y, strong and sure
On unerring, silent feet,

Here he fought to keep the land
Hills and plains that were his home
Fought to save his wigwam fires
From other warriors on the t'oam,
Proud his heart on battle trans,
On the trails he loved and knew
TraHs that now have faded lil&lt;e
Wraiths of smoke in airy blue,
FaJing, fading, fading still
Those trails the Indian knew
Growing dimmer though the years
Like wraithD of smoke in airy blue

MYTHS SURROUNDING INDIAN WOMEN
"Pity the poor squaw, beast of burden, slave
cbained under female law from puberty to
grave.n
The.anonymou~ author of these lines displayed
a misconception about the lives of Indi2:n women which is not only prevalent in nonI1nian society today, but which has also
had a destructive influence on the contempory roles and aspirationn of Indian

women themselves.
The famj."l iar image of an Indian woman as
a suller: drudge who lives out her days "in
a powerless and subordinate existence, is
ow:· which was first fostered by wt;ite male
h5-stor.i:i.ns and missionar~.l'lS, who inter;);··eted what they f,aw j_n Indian society from
tbE: i r mm framework of make supcr2..ori ty.

·:he other less common, bcit every t·i t as
persistent myth surroundj_ng the Amer.L.,ar.
Indiar; worm'tn .is the vie"' of her as a mysb:ri.ous, untamed, intrigui.ng creature who
possessed a kind of unearthly quality.
In most tr·ibes, the Wt):nan coulG under no
conditiona be deprived of her belongings
by her gusband, even if their marriage was
dissolved. Di vor'ce was a simple matter
which could be initiated either by the wife
of the husband; in tpj_ bes where women owned
the home and its contents, the woman could
divorce her husband by placing his belong-··
ings outside tl1e door, and he had no choice
but to comply. Foltowing such a divorce,
the man or woman w;:,.s free to remariy.

In her book, 'Founding Motherr, !

,

written

about colonial women, Linda Grant DePaw
states that Indian women had greater
economic, social, ancl political status than
colonial women. The mothers of the tribe
often had the final say when the warrl.or's
council disagreed, and they could stop ly
the tribe from going to war by r·efusing to
Pl'O\'ide trail rations and moccasins.

'£T1i.s :i.magc was perpetuated by careless ob-

They also had the final sa.v in the fate of
captives taken during the war. Native Amer·ican women were also less economically de-pendent on their husbanus. The economic

But prior to being stranded in
Minneapolis, she was strand~d ot
the Bemidje, Minnesota airport
because the right prop on the
plane wouldn't stort.
It w-0s
quite an experience for Jean
(who works here at the InterTr ibol Coonc·u. os the l!o-mtJmak~.r ~;
Coordinator). And if y0u 1 d li\e
to know how this all came about,

SANDY ~APHACL, .STUDENT
MI-GI-~! HIGH SCHOOL

It all started on Tuesday, January 24, when Jean left Grand
Rapids as a representative of th~
Inter-!ribol Council, to att~nd
an "Indian Task Force on Hunger"
meeting in Bemidje, Minnesota. ·
Upon arrival, later tbat day,
Jeo, was somewhat dis~ppainlad to
find th~re was o mix-up obout ½er
reservation at the motel wher~ she
was !4: vppc,~ed t.o s toy I OMi had ,1
quickly find other accommodations.

The HolidQy Inn wos the setti4U
for the tw~ and o half day ru~B~ing which J~an ottendmd and irom
which she gleaned much infornat!on
After her hu:iness there we~ concluded, Jean merrily packed h~r
bogs, ~~pecting soon to g@t to
home a~d family. She boarded t~e
plane at the Bemidje airport,
settled back in h~r seatt fast~ned
h~r seat belt, only to heai the
Pilot Jntorm everyone thot th~y
covldr:' t idor l !
Everyone was told to get off the
plan~ ond wed t in the terminal 11n···
til further notice. About Fiv~
minutes l~ter, they are then l~formed that they can get back 0n

f3

�the plane and have a drink, compliments of the airlines, and ofter accepting the hospitality,
the passengers disembarked.
Again
they are told they can board the
plane and hove o drink, (hie) as
a mechanic will be along shortly to repair the prop. After
some time on board, they ore then
informed thot it will be awhile
before they will be arriving to pick
them up and take them to the
Holiday Inn for dinner and drinks.
(hie!)

(hie!)

After a hearty dinner, Jean returned to the airport, hoping
that th~ game of "musical planes"
would be finished.
The prop was
still in disrepair, so another
plane was sent in for them.
By
this time it is 7PM, but at
least they do get into the air
this time, and ore flying through
the wild blue yond~r·, when the
pilot informs them ~not upon arrival in Minneapolis, they will
be going no further tha0 the
nearest hotel, because o big bod
storm is brewing in Green Bay.
Exhausted, Jeon falls into bed
ot the hotel in Minneapolis:
Early next morning, (5PM to be
e~oct) she's up and into a cab
heading for the airport to catch
a 7AM flight.
This plane gets
her to Green Bay, but again she
can go no further, due to the
storm! lucky for Jean, two nice
ladies she met at the meeting in
Bemidje happened to be traveling
with her, ond one of them, Ruby
White, invited her to stay with
her family.
Jeon soys Ruby wos
nice enough to show her around
their reservation in Oneida, and
also to treat her to a nice dinner as well as lodging,
finally, the next day, she was
on her way to Michigon*s "Big
Blizzard of '78", happy to be 90-

ing home, even if it was two

days

late. Jean plans on returning
again in Morch, ond hopes it will
De as interesting as the first
trip,

Rot so Ruck Jeon!!!!!

until the age of 13. At that
time, her family moved to Kalamazoo&gt; and that is where she
graduated from Central High
School.
Kalamazoo is also
where she attended College.
She did attend Michigan State
breifly, but didn't like it,
so then went to Kellogg Community College {kornflake U).
Western Michigan was next,
and that is where she received
her B.3. in Education, majoring in Speech, History and
English.
She is currently
working toward her Masters.
Wtile at Westernt she worked
on 43 plays 1 as constume

In 28 of them, she performed.
Since leaving College, she
has done plays in Saginaw,

leave of his presence, he
was immediately occupied with
something obviously important,

studied the papers on his
desk.

LORETTA YOUNT

BUDDY RAPHAEL

Calm, cool and collected?
That sums up Loretta Yount
in a nutshell.
Not really,
but that's almost it.
Here
is a very reserved, quiet,
efficient lady, who says she
would rather stay in the
background than be "up
front". Never a hair out
of place 1 she always looks
as though she stepped out
of a band-box.
She is so
quiet that if you did not
see her about once in a while,
you would not know she is here.

How did I get this story?
It wasn't easy. Ever try
to catch a butterfly? Also
not easy. But I think it
would be easier than trying
to track down Buddy Raphael.
It took a lot of tricky
maneuvering, such as hiding
behind his desk to catch
him when he arrived in the
morning, calling him on the
phone and telling him it
was his mother, to tripping
him in the hall.
I had
thought of using a lasso or
butterfly net, but fortunately
didn't have to resort to
those tatics.
The important
thing is, I fin~lly did get
some information from him.
Buddy, who is Assistant
Director here at the Council,
was born Joseph Raphael in
Detroit, and was raised in
Peshawbestown. He is cf
Ottawa decent and is married
to a very very attractive
lady (who by the way happens
to be a Sioux from South
Dakota)t and has three
children.

Very efficient in her role
as Office Manager, Loretta
is a Potawatomi and has been
at· the Council since October
1974.
Formerly Loretta Wesaw,
she is married to Andrew
Yount and is mother to Andrea

and Dav.id.
In the hobby department, she
likes to sew and bowl.
But
I have a pretty good idea
that .she pretty much e'7ijoys.
her work here, and take!
pride in keeping e~erything
"running smoothly."

�ROGER SPRAGUE

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

We'd very much like to welcome Roger
Sprague as our new Director of
the Employment Resource Center
here.
And while he is new to this
position, he is by no means ne w to
the community OR the Council.
HJs most recent association here ,
was that of Cnairman of the Board
of Directors, from which he re cently resigned in order to fill
his new position at the Council .
It is my understanding too, that
he was one of the original organizers of the Council at its inception.

April 3, 1978

TO:

Members of the Board

FROM: Roger L. Sprague
SUBJECT: Resignation from the
Board

Dear Board Members:
It is with much regret that I must
resign as chairman of the board.
Effective right after this meeting.
There was a lot of thought over a
period of months before I came to
a decision.

An aura of quiet dignity surrounds
Roger who was born in Bradley,
Michigan and is both Potawatomi and

Ottawa.

·"--··-----~---"--·--------

He is married to Rita I.

Lett, who is also an Indian, but
from the British West Indies, and
they are the proud parents of five
children, Lee 18, Richard 17,
Janina 16, Michael 15, and Anthony
l.1 .

Sports of all kinds interest Roger,
and he has been the promoter and
coach of a lot of teams in tne
arfc:a.

My thinking is that I can serve
the Indian Community more effectively as Program Director of
Employment 1 at the Inter-Tribal
Council.
I am very proud to have served for
two different periods.
First as
Vice-Chairman for 21 years, then
as Chairman for 2 years, 9 months.
Watching our Council grow from
zero ground 10vel to what i t now
encompasses and the programs it
offers to help our comm~nity has

raade me very proud.

It shows what

a sound and intelligent board and
st~f! working together can accomplisn.

We knew that Roger will do great
in his new position.
Welcome aboard, Roger 1 and much success to
you!!!

I can only hope that the rest of
the board and the Community remembers
me as being an honest and ~edicated
board member and I can assure you
that I'll be the same person in
my new job.
I am confident that I'll leave the
board in competent hands, with a
nucleus of dedicated and hard working people to carry on.

Yours truly,
Roger L. Sprague

The movie is historically inaccurate.
Brutal violence by Native people is emphasized between humans
and towards animals.
Native men are portrayed as
extremely emotional, demonstrating either passive, or agressive behavior.
Native men are portrayed as
grunting, groaning idiots who
have uncontrollable lust for
white women and whiskey.

�5.

The characte~ Iran Eyes Cody
portrays is a passive 1 mindless
slave to a white dominant male
(Lone Ranger and Tonto image).

6.

The woman is portrayed as pro perty of two men.

7.

The woman is portrayed as a
foolish., passive, screaming,
emotionally sick non-person.
The quality of the clothing,
and painted, glued beadwork
is not representational of
Indian arts and crafts.

No, not you ~ann~at-Bushoe.

you let envy and jealousy make you
sneak around among the people and
sprea~ lies to undermi~e your Nishnawbe brother and sister.

The time and energy you spend to
get this done is astounding!
If

I have kept silent about this too

long.

Now I must speak.

All these

years I thoJg~t you would take a
close look at yourself and stop

doing thi.s thing.

to the young ones and they alscr
learn to do this.

yoi.! musl cease this now or it will

never end.
Your son will teach
his son until the chain is forever.
Nann-ah-Bushoe why do you speak ill
of your brother and sister Nishnawbe

every time one of them does good
e.nd. advances? He gets a good automobile and ~ou say he stole it.
Your Nishnawbe sister obtains a good

job and you say she used herseJ.f
immorally as a woman to get it. An
Indian is elevated to highe~ status
and you start rumors that h0 used

is then an unstoppable roar.

wife.

KNOW!!!

He is of Wyoming, Ml.,

This is a resolution to permit the
various states to interfere in the
treaty rights of Indians to hunt
and fish.
A very bad resolution
for the Indian people all across
the country as most Indians need
this supply of food for their
families.

This is a resolution to parmit the

As this resolution is a duplicate
H.J. Bes. 206, introduced five
months later and by a different
person, it remains just as bad as
tl.J. Res. 206 and would be just as
detremental to Indian people in
their efforts to live and support

I have requested the Department

Preliminary reports indicate

The biggest percentage of Indians
in Michigan reside in Urban areas.
The majority of federal resources
available for Indian programs benefits Indians residing on federal
reservations. While I would oppose
a decrease in federal funding for
reservations, I do believe that
the Indians not residing on reservations should be eligible f0r
federal benefits.
Theref o re, I am
directing the Commission on Indinn
Affairs to recommend ways for improving the availability of these
state and federal programs.
Finally, the Commission in cucrently
investigating methods to cla~ifv
and strengthen the laws pertain i ng
to Indian renains.
I will support
legislation to assure adequate protections ta prohibit abuses of remains which have been exhumed.

House Bill 5863 1 the amendment to
the Michigan Civil Rights Act that
adds public assistance recipients
as a protected class and prohibits
discrimination on the basis, passed out of the House Civil Rights
Cowmittee on March 21st with a
vote of 6-2.
Representatives
Brotherton and Fredericks cast the
opposing votes.
Representatives

Bullard, Monsma, Brown, Hollister,
Bryant, and Padden supported the
B:Ll.l.

The Legislature will be in recess
until April 4 and many representatives will be home for the duration.
If you are interested in
supporting this bill aimed at
eliminating discrimination against
pu~lic assistance recipients, and
the unfounded stereotype this discrimination is bassed on, this
time . between now and April 4 could
be used to tell your local rep~e­
sentatives now you feel about this
issue. You can also reach your
representative by writing him or
her in Lansing.
Any correspondence
can be addressed to your representa ti Ve;

�Slowly, he turned around and followed
the trail back home. All the way there,
he kept thinking of the fate of the
butterfly. It ~{as sad that the butterfly had to die, when Little Deer tried
so hard to help it. When he reached
his home, he related his tale to his mother and father, with tears in his eyes.
Little Deer's father was a very wise man
and he said, "now Little Deer, the
butterfly was being born or hatched like
a bird is hatched from his shell. What
you thought was a trap was really only
a covering to protect him until he was
ready for this life. The butterfly needed
the struggle to get out of the covering
because the struggle would make him
strong so that he could survive J.n life.
But, because you . tried to help him in
that struggle he did not develope the
strength to survive. And so it is in all
of life, Little Deer. At some time or
other we all meet with a time, when we
will need to struggle through some difficulty. And it is somethi_ng we must do
alone. This way, we get the strength, _and.
we also learn how to get through other hard
times. If someone took that str~.tggle from
us, we would not learn. Do you understand now, Little Deer?"
"Oh yes father, 11

ACT THREATENED

The following article is taken from the
bulletin of Americans for Indian Opportunity, 600 Second Street, N.W. it403,
Albuquerque, New Mexico
87102.

****•lE*
The Carter Administration has apparently
taken a position against the Indian
Child Welfare Act {S. 1214/HH). We be.lieve it to be an Office of Manae;ement and
Budget decision based on cost rather than
on the issue of' what's good for the Indian
children.
Testimony pre~ented to the President's
Commission on Mental Health indicates that
25% c&gt;f all Indian children are removed
from Indian famiU es for some sort. of
placement.
The Bill, as you krrow, would go a long
way toward eliminating the abusive child
welfare practices that have led to the unwarranted separation of Indian children
from their families and towards allowing
Indian tribes the opportuni.ty to provide for their own children.
The Bill passed the Senate November 3,
1977.
It has been referred to the House of Representatives Subcommittee on Indian Affairs and should be acted on early in this
session. People in the Grand Rapids area
and all over the United States should
write letters to Congress!Tl{·irl Henry Reuss
and Clement Zablocki, House Offtce Building, Washington, D.C. Also write letters

and Otis. They used to frolic around the
barn and have all kinds of fun. Sometimes
for fun they would have contests to see

foot. He wasn't certain a.t. first what is
was, but sure enough on the 'second look~
he knew for sure that it was butter!

case of' Donr:a Dunlop, the waters run even
st.iller and deeper . . I'm happy to find

that out, because when I first arr:i.ved at
the Counc::i.l, I was under the false impression that this 1·emarkable young woman
did not. possess the power. of speech.
'rhis ma.y sound like an exaggeration, bur;
she really wa.fl quiet! And the mystifying
, thing about it, is that Denne&gt;. was bo:rn
under the sign of' Leo, . And a.n.ybody who is
even remo~ely interested

in as_trology

will

know immediately that this is very 1.m-L•·'Olike.

if she had only fifty cents she -wouJ.dn 't
bave to stay sick. The boy gave his mother a dollar and watched her f&gt;louch away
on her :r·t:~n over shoes. He knew she was
going to the liquor store for wine.
He felt bad for a long time afier that. The
way he felt towards his parents kept his
mind in turmoil. He carried this burden
of guilt with him constantly from then on.
Ska--nee-gish liked to r0ad very much. Besides the nine cent movies and swimming,
reading was his way of spending his spare
time. On days when it r&lt;dned or when he
got bacl:: to town early enough from ~addy­

He ·1:1ked the libra.ry a lot - peaceful and
quiet. '.I'here must have been tons of read:i.111:;;. His for the asking. He had only to
ap-proach the J.ibrar-ian, old Mrs. ·shepherd,

The boy worked and gave almost all he
ea1~ned to his mother.
He put it on the
dresser where he knew she would find it.
It was al ways gone when he ca.rne home. He
was beginning to get dir:F.!ou.ra.ged. Then
one day it started to harpen. The little
rn:i.racle began. He came he.me and his mother was sober. She told her son that
she was pretty sick but that she was going to tttough it out.n This she did.
It took about a week for her to "dry
out." '11hcn she began to clean the old

house &amp; little at a time. The results
began to show. Clean floors, dishes
washed., 1atmdry done. Food waited for
him every day. It was nic:e having his
mom herself again. Her hair was combe,1.
Her clothes, though o1d, were clean.
True to his word he went t~) ehur:;b with
her. Life was looking up. He wasn't
lonely anymore.

Between them., the boy and father got thingf~

the coming winter. They didn't ha.ve mone:l' for paint but they did a.J.l they could

a man becomes a threat to the outcome

of' the game, there are several plays in
football us~d to remove the threat of that
man. The men assigned to get this job done
are called 11 hatchet men." They must take
that.man out of tha game; break a. leg or
an arm, knock him u_~concious; ar1ything short
of Jill=i,iming him for 1ife; but ~~him.
And this is an accepred part of the ga."lle.
However cruel and inhumane it might seem,
it is honorable. The plan that tackle Devore and. back;&gt; Ei;:;enhower and 0' Ha.re were
to use is called the "hi-lo." Devore was
to hit "that Indian 11 low about the knees
or lower. Red O'H.a.re and Ike were to hj_t
him from the opposite direction; high near

the ball again, and they couldn't have been

Carlisle quarter back Welch stalled in the
huddle as long as he cou1d, giving his team

Suddenly, "that Indian" stuck his head up

�INTRODUCING •..............
By Virginia Medacco Herr
DAWN BUSH
---·----

"I really have no hobbies outside of
sewing and traveling&gt; 1'.mt I 'n: always
willing to try anything new." 'I'his
statement came from Dawn Bush, our
Assistant Outrea~h Director here at .the
Counc:i.l. A very competent and dedicated
worker she is too, which is obviuus from
all that she a.ccompli.ahes. fu.1d ii' I were
to make a judgement, I wculd say her
work :i.s almost her hobby, as she enjoys
it so much. Oh yes, she says she does
like to read poetry too.

Dawn; with the long dark hair, ca.me to
us in November 1976) a.nd is a Potawatomi,
born in Plainwell, Michigan. And again
I hate to overuse this word, but she does
1rn.v-e that same sense of humor that all
here at the Council have (must be,it's
contagious.)
Six year old Carey, four yea:r old Charlie
and three year old Charlotte call her
mommie) and she is very devo"':;ed to her
~~hrce

Davenport College a.nd OIC will be offering clerical classes, including
stenography·, typing, a.nd training for
medical secretaries.
Besides these referralr; the C~l!:TA I
program also wi.11 be of:fer:i.ng GED and
high school completion classes at
Lexington School and typing, filing
and shortharn.1 at the Council. A.Jl
participants v.ri11 be receiving career
planning co&lt;.mseling, job seek:ing skills,
and job-placement and follow-u:p ·ho help
·[;he participant get the jo·b they want

children.

Dawn says happiness and

contentment an: her aims in life, and
tha.t she is young enough yet, that she
knows there are a lot of good things
ahead .
.And in closing. Dawn. Mav I ask. if one
of those "ne¥'1 thin,q;s you've tried is
''fluffed ham?"

BOB JOHNSON

BOO-SHOO!
The snow has finally started to fall.
Many people have awaited for this season
so long while others could do without it.

white blanket of snow has fallen on our
Mother the Earth to keep her warm and
prepare her for the seasons to come.
I'm sure many of the cbildt•en are fascinated with the snowy season because to
them they know that with Christmas just
around the cocner it's the time of giving, get-together:;,, exchanging pres~nts,
setting up the family Christmas tree, and
yet another big dinner.

MY CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL PILLED THIP

PACKA LIFETIME OF MEMORIES
fNTONIN'ESHOR'TDA!s) .Part. two
(GR HOW TO

.

By Virginia Medacco Herr

Spirits still in high gear, I returned
from Stratford, on Friday October 6th,
at about 10 PM. I spent Saturday with
my family. But to unwind was impossible,
since the very next day I would be
boarding a plane wj. th my sister Ka thy
Bowen, and friend Dora Harris, for ·

Niagara Falls to attend the 10th annual
convention of the National Indian Education Associ.ation. Could this really
be me??? More adventures ahead! ! !
SUNDAY OCTOBER 8TH.

After a sleepless night (I mean honestly 1
how COULD I sleep'?), I was up and pack-ing. Bow did I 'get into all this'? Well,
being a member of the Kelloggsville
Schools Indian Parent Cormni ttee, I was
pursuaded t.o go by our Coodinatoc, Mr.
Timothy Moore.

Departure time was :::;oon upon us.

The
three of us went through that gi.smo
,
metal detector thtng, and then moved on,
but only after they were sure we were ·
not going to hi-jack tht plane and head
for Wounded Knee or the Little Big Horn
or someplace like that.
"Do you have your ticket.s? 11 asked my
practical level headed iistert (being
througl1ly fa.miliar with the anti.cs of
her scatter-brained sister).
"Of course I do!" I answered assuredly,
fumbled through my purse as a ;nae.
ter of routine. A more frantic effort
ensued to locate them 9 when they wern't
where I expected them to be. I just
knew they were j.n my purse. They were
there only a minute ago! Panic seized
me as I realized that they were no whe!'e
to be found in either purse or pockets,
and we were only minutes away from getas I

ting on tifiat plane.

�'

11

I can ' t f'J.nd them! " I finally admitted,

and with that admission came a sinking
hcaet. and the !'ealization that if they
wer' not found and found quickly, I
would not be getting on that plane. Oh
wo1.:: is me! It could only happen t,o me.
I just knew it htas too 1-;ood to be true!
"Think!" said my level headed sister.
demanding the i.mpo.ssible at a time l:iKe
this. "Did you have them out, when we
were sitting out there? 11
nyes, I believe I did. But I'm sure I
put them back into my purse. 11

As we went back to tell the ladies at
the rrietal detec:tor gi;;mo about my plight r
Kathy remained calm. I was about to
faint. Adding to rny panic, Kathy said,
"Your expen~'Je money was also in that envelope wasn 1 t i.t?'1

Enscohscd in our seats - still in that
crdert I drifted into a joyful delirium
when the reality hit me that I was actually on that plane and would soon be
flying to Niagara Falls.
Seatbelts fastened, we were soon speeding down the runway, and with the sense
of leavtng one's tummy still earthbound ,
we shot what seemed to be, almost vert~­
ically upward!!! (Gee! What a thrill i t

must be for spacemen!) And need I say
:t LOV~ i_t_?,?'? Soon everything on the
earth became.~ minia t.ure and then grew
hazy as we merged into the clouds. And
before long, we were flying way ABOVE
those frothy looking things . - What
beauty!! l

"Yes," I muttered weakly.
.A.nd then the lady at the metal detecto1'
gismo who seemed to be made of metal ''herself said, "And anybody can get those
Lickets and turn them in for money. THEY
AHE AS GOOD AS CASH t ''

Upon wobbily 1egs aM with the support
oi both Dora and Kathy (on e:i.thcr side
of me,) I made it to the plane .

My heart grew

fainter!

Looking at us curiously from the other
uide of the metal detector gismo, stood
Kachy 1 s husband, that shy Cheyenne.
"Virginia lost her tickets! 11 Kathy
shouted to him. I was too weak to speak.

Well, here we sat. The three muskateers.
{or is that Mousekateers'?) He would
spend the rest of this ·day, plus f our
happy more together.
It seems we only just got up in this
lavish carnival ride when we started to
descend. Soon we were amongst the clouds
&lt;.::,:i;ain and then below them. The toy city
C&lt;:ime tnto view.
The earth came closer
::nd closer. Down we came and as I commented to Dora (that well-seasoned traveler) that it was really a .smooth 12.nding, she smiled, 11 But we haven•t landed
yet!" Oh.

"See if they are ont or near, the seats
wi1ere we were sitting, 11 she instructed

~•e

were in Detroit.

with perfect calm.

In a moment the shy Cheyenne returned:
tickets in hand. Mentally I sent him
a million kisses in gratitude, because
I was still too numb to speak.
0h what a relief! I was beg.inning to
think that Virginia wasn;t go:Lng with
us . Thank you, Don."
11

Since I still had not regained the use
of my voice, I made a brei.f gesture indicatl.ng that I was ever so grateful.

Since we had an hour to kill, we decided
on some refreshments at a little establishment at the terminal. Kathy had a
wh.i.skey sour 1 Dora had some red wine and
1 had a bloody mary. Then we had lunch .
About five minutes before we were to
boa1·ci the plane to Buffalo , the nice
gentleman at the,ticket counter informed
us that the plan~ -·was full ! "No sea ts ! 11
said he.
"But we have tickets!" cried we.

�INDIAN TRAILS
Indian trails now are gone
Gone l i.ke smoke in airy blue
faded &lt;':·S their camp fire lights
Long since have faded too,

Here the warrior sought r'edrcss
Fr0m the shame of ill defeat
Going swiftly. str·ong and sure
On unerring, silent feet,
Here he fought to keep the land
Hills and plains that were his home
Fought to save his wigwam fires
From other warriors on the roam,
Proud his heart on battle trails,
On the trails he loved and knew
Trails that now have faded like
Wraiths of smoke in airy blue,
Fading, fading, fading still
Those trails the Indian knew
Growing dimmer though the years
Like wraith~ of smoke in airy blue

LAUHA PARKEY OF PETOSKEY, MICHIGAN.
Letter to the Editor of TURTLE TALK.
Dear

~·:ci tor,

I i..i:-;h to express my gratitude to the Grand
Rap;Lds Inter-Tribal Council for making it

pos.si.ble for the Elderly representatives
of the three majoc tribes of Michigan, the
Salem-Bradley Drum, and the Director of the
Michigan C.')mmission on Indian Affai1·s. to be
present at the dedication of the West River
Bank Park in downtown Grand Rapids. I also
want to thank all those from our local
Indi&lt;:tn c;)nffiiunity 1 who in spi_te of the rain,
turned out to observe the ceremonies.

On November 15-17, 197E3 1 Vi Compo and l
attended the Michigan Commission ori
lndj_an Affairs Conference in Traverse

City. The Park Place Motor Inn hosted
tne many representatives from various
programs created for the Native Am(:rican concerns which included educat1on 7
employment, health 1 and housing, among
other ar~as of importance.

The presencs of Eld~rs at this conferwas our grounding and center. I attended a meeting of the Elders, and was
proud to hear and experience their determination to unify and then work for
the changes they want to see happr-n as
a result of' their Jong .struggle w.ith
the gc.'vermnent for good nousing, r"1.,.;tWithout our Elders contribution to the cled.1·- ri tion, heal th ser·vices, ascmred L-1cat i_')rJ it would have been jtrnt another dedi~ come 7 meaningful employment 1 an.J .;. life
cation. With them and the Drum and the.i.r
of' determination. An Elder fron t!1e
ope1dng ceremonies it had real meaning to
Detric•t Indian Center spok(; of tl1P r;eed
e~eryone present.
It was BeautiiUl!
to unify, commenting that the government rieyer Las 'l1or will ever meet, oy
ltself, the r.eeds of the Native El.dc:rs.
It is for the Elders, themselves, he
Bea Da~ley: R0pr0sentative of the Indian
r·eported, to ga tl1er together ar.d work
Co:nnunicy on. the West River-Bani- Par!&lt;

In most tr.ibes 1 the woiwrn coulij under no

the home and its contE:.nts, the w0man could
jivorce her husband by placing hjs belongings outside the door, and he had no choice
but to comply. Following such a divorce,
the man or woman was free to remarry.

In her book, 'Founding Mother~; 1 , written
about colonial women, Linda Grant DePaw
states that Indian women had greater
economic, social, and political status than
colonial women. The mothers of the t.ribe
often had the final say when the warrior's
council disagreed 1 and they could .stop t•y
the tribe from going to war by refusiu.g to
provide trail rations and moccasi.ns.

al] it takes. It would really help us out.

We are proud of you Jim!

Ross is a very tnteresting and truly caring person~ particularly when it ccme.s to
our own people. I would say jn his case,
''action speak louder than words fl when it
comes to the "golden rule" oe "concern"
1.;hen some of us seem to be in tY-ouble or
i1 need of a helping hand. He is genuinely concerned. He cares about people,
friends and farlJ.ilY.

Of concern to hJ.m

also is his own Bear Clan and the Wolf
Clan of his cousins.

We don't have too much news to repeat this

been going through our files, we find that
some information isn't correct. So, we
will be getting out into the community and
making home visits. Be looking for one of

to get to know us better and lmow more of

MARCH ON CONSUMERS POWER
The Palisades Nuclear Power Plant, owned
and operated by Consumers Pow~;r, has the
second worst safety and performance record in the country. Since opening in
1971, it has been shut down over 50 times
for repairs, leaking dangerous radiation
into the environment. Palisades has operated only 25% of the time 1 forcing Con~umers Power customers to buy over $160 milli.on in repacement power from otber cornp;;;,1:i.es. A meltdown at this plant would

�L HOOP
fou. have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Pc~"
wer of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old day:
when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of th,
nation, and so long as the hoop was unborken, the people flourished. The flowering tree wa·
the living center of the hoop, and the circle of four quarters nourished it. The east gave
peace and light, and the south gave warmth, and the west gave rain, and the north with its
cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This knowledge came to us from the outer
world with our religion. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a
ball, and so are all the stars. The wind; in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their
nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes do1
ag:lin in a circle. The moon does the same, and both always come back again to where they
were. The life of man in a circle from childhood to chHdhood, and so it is in everything
where power moves. Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were alway:s se·
in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us t&lt;
hatch our children..

Dear Bud,

Will Europeans greed never cease? Will
Europeans never be content until they shsd 1.
have devoured all the land? Chewed up the
Earth in every place?
these Europeans
des:i.re to destroy everything, like they
destroyed the very ugly cities they keep
womiting out all across the Beautiful lands

Just a few lines to let you know Darlene
Sineway and myself will be in Grand Rapids
to enroll people into the Grand Traverse

Do

The Europeans must bring themselves to unde
stand that Native Americans, that is Ind1.a.n
have a real reverence and love for the
Beautiful lands, for all the Earth and that
Indian People will not willingly give up
the struggles to preserve the Land leff to
them.

(!.J(D{l)

Native American People are being brought to
feel that they are under attack again.

That Indian will also continue trying to
bring Europeans to realize the value and
purpose of the Earth.

Now, once more, someone has a great greed
for the energy resource on Indian land, as
coal, oil, and gas.

DISTRIBUTION PLAN FOR FUNDS AWARDED TO
POTAWATOMI NATION BEING PUBLISHED.

Yet, another sees timber on Indian land and
wants that too.

A plan for the distribution and use of more
than $6 million awarded to the Potawatomi
Nation is being published in the Federal
Register, Assistant Secretary for Indian
Affairs, Forrest Gerard announced.

All these greedy ones carp and complain about
Indian priviledge and talk about it not being
proper to hang on to old land titles.
Well, it was Europeans that brought the
curse of land titles upon the Beautiful
Lands. It was the Europeans that forced
Indians into small places in the Land and
said you have 'title' to this piece of land.

The judgment award, granted by the Indian
Claims Commission, is compensation for land
in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan ceded to the Unj_ted States by the
Indians during the treaty making period of
1795 to 1833.

�,HE PASSING OF OUR CULTURE
On a reserve that thrives on praise, kudos and exhaltations, the Blood Reserve also has it~
silent and humble members. This group however is getting more scarce by the day, such as
in the case of the passing of Albert Chief Calf and Gordon Bird. Old People such as these
two more correctly portraye,d the values and traits of the Indian People. Theirs was a
humble existence.
The sadness and tragedy of each passing old Indian is not in the fact that they had died,
but the fact that the young did not learn enough and retain all the knowledge, wisdom and
practice that the old people have to offer. The young Indian fanatics today rely too
readily on their superior anthropological academic knowledge on a broad diverse nation of
Indians and often this shows in their "native dress 11 of odds and ends of just about every
tribe there is. Dress, preceding customs, ceremonial procedures, philosophy and religion,
(these things) the Indian people were given by their maker.
All too often the young people cif Reserves and Indian cornmun:i.ties stcut and brag to others

that they are proud to be an Indian. Such put-ons are often an embarrassment to others whc
know better. For these greensklns hardly follow the principles of the traditional way of
life and know next to nothing about their culture. What they seem to think is that the
Indian way is mostly learned from professional Indians, which usually amounts to nothing
more political propaganda - social lip service intended to impress an ignorant non-Indian
society or in general, to use one's Indianism to achieve personal goals.
Indjan youths will continue to lose gound so long as they are preoccupied with non-Indian
society, instead of learning from their elders. It might be argued that knowledge and
wisdom are universal, but i.t mustn't be forgotten that customs are different values on
things. High among these values is humility and respect.
The simple life led by Albert, Gordon, and numerous other old people who we never even hear
of should serve as a (model) to the Indians of today. They were practically unknown, but
were loved. They won little, but gained more out of life. They held no office, but served
a lifetime through the Horn Society and were avid supporters of the Indian Way of Life with
out its present haughtiness.
IDIDID
THE OTTAWAS' GREAT FEAST
The great annual feast of the Ottawas at L 1 Arbre Crochc known as Tu.-sam wung occured on
the eve of All Saints' Day.
the early missionaries first came to thJ.s country, they realized the futiJ.ity of trying to induce the Indians to gJve up at once their superstitions and wild demonstrations of
grj_ef over the death of Uieir friends and loved ones. A sort of a compromise was made by
uniting and participating with t1e church in its celebration of All Saints' Day.

When

The celebration really began on Halloween. for on that day, the Indian hosts set up kettles and pushed pies into the ovens for the oi.g dinners that were to be given during the
next two days.
For this celebration, the Indians spared no expense. They entertained lavishly even though
to do so left the hosts pennHes3. Although in the near future, the Indians might be cold
and starving, they did not save a thing for themselves.
Those who gave the feast invited one person for each dead relative that they had, besides
other guests and friends. These especially favored ones were supposed to personify the departed relatives who were buried under the white crosses or cobblestone markers in the cemetery. The more they ate the better pleased were the host and hostess.
The Indians incurred all this expense that they may make the 3ouls of the departed happy an
