5. Severely curt~il or eliminate GA Program.
6. Reduce services for Senior Citizens.
7. Reduce services for Children.
8. Numerous other areas would be cut or eliminated.
Support Alternative Plans

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

Work. His daughter Angie lives in the Houghton Lake area and attends college and directs a photography studio in that area.
Bill is presently employed by the Counseling Center at Ferris State University and also teaches in the Social Work Department.
ARENA
DIRECTOR
The Arena Director is often the busiest person at the Pow Wow. He is responsible for coordinating everything
which will ensure the dancing commences smoothly. If any singerordancer
has a problem with anon-site deficiency,
the arena director makes every effort to
remedy the situation. He must make sure
all the drummers and dancers have everything they need to participate in the
pow wow. He coordinates Grand Entries and specialty dances plus deals
with anyone who may be behaving inappropriately during the dancing or in the
arena.
�THE GRAND ENTRY
The Grand Entry is the first dance of the Pow Wow. The dancers enter the dance circle arena from the east in a single file.
The Eagle Staff (representing Native American nations) and the United States flag are carried atthe head of the line. The dancers
at the front of the line have a place of honor, respect, and responsibility. The dancers create a circle on the outer perimeter of
the dance area, representing the sacred circle. Participants signal Grandfather and their ancestors to witness this physical
testimony of the continuation of traditional values.
MEN'S
TRADITIONAL DANCE
Acting out feats of bravery through dance, dancers use story telling movements. They represent an older, distinguished sector of the Pow Wow. The
Southern, orstraighttraditional dancers, wear ribbon-skirted regalia with bead work
piecesof hide, and a red roach headdress of porcupine quills or horsehair, but no
bustle; they assume a dignity of movement. Moving clockwise around the drum,
Northern dancers imitate animals with side-to-side movements of their heads.
Typically, they wear buckskin, on bustle, leggings, a breast plate of bone and a
roach; they often use mirrors to reflect back what is given.
What to watch for: Most interesting is watching the story line develop as each
dancer challenges the enemy. Even with the slow tempo, the rhythm must be in
harmony with the drum. Try to interpret each motion and compare the different
ways dancers imitate the eagle or the porcupine.
Jerry Pigeon, Sr., Eagle Clan,
Potawatoml, Traditional Dancer,
Weekaun (spiritual officer) of the
Mide' Widjig, Vietnam Veteran.
WOMEN'S
TRADITIONAL DANCE
This dance of honor reflects the women in Indian society, including their roles as
givers of life, keepers of home and family, decision-makers, and heads of households.
Northern dancers dance in one position or area. Southern dancers move clockwise
around the drum. Although styles of dress vary, buckskin or cloth dresses with ribbons
and shells are often worn.
What to watch for: Discipline is essential to the slow, graceful movements of the
dance. Dancing in perfect harmony with the drum, while never breaking the sedate spirit,
is the essence of the dance. The dips and sways are executed with no break in dignity.
Virginia Pigeon, Traditional Dancer.
Elder and member of Cedar Women's
Society, Mide' Wldjig.
�INTER-TRIBAL DANCES
The dances are sometime called friendship dances and are a chance for everyone to join in the dancing. It is not necessary
to be dressed in regalia to participate. The Master of Ceremonies will often announce the inner-tribals, which make up the
largest portion of the dances, and encourage the audience to join in.
GRASS DANCE
The people travelled and often made a new camp. Different tasks were given to those most suitef for them. The energy of
young men made it natural for them to help set up a dancing place. As the grass was very tall in the days before the land was
worked into farms, a group of young men moved around the common area and with their feet pushed down the grass, pressing
it again and again until the area was more comfortable to move through. Their movements recalled the wind restlessly swirling
the grass.
..L
MEN'S FANCY
DANCE
WOMEN'S FANCY
DANCE
Today's men's colorful Fancy Feather dance based on the
traditional and Warrior Society dances. The dancer's talent
and skill is reflescted in his foorwork, body movements and
his ability to stay in step with the drumbeat.
What to watch for: Following the rhythm of the drum
with the steps, the motion of the head and the flow of the body
are important elements in the Fancy Dance. Since the steps
are individual, the expression of the emotion of the music
and the change of pace from the slowernorthern style to the
faster southern beat are important. As in all Native American
dancing, the finish in exact time with the song is significant
in the judging.
This dance is popular with young women today as a
competitive piece at Powwows. It may have originated as
the Butterfly Dance. When her mate is killed in battle, the
female butterfly mourns and goes into her cocoon as interpreted with the shawl. Her emergence celebrates freedom
and a new life. The dancer makes her colorful shawl, worn
over the shoulders, dance with her. Creativity and smoothness are the keys to an outstanding performance.
What to watch for: Since each dancer has her own
individual style, the essence is how well the steps and
motions express and harmonize with the drums. Being in
time with the beat is important, as is the ability to end the
dance precisely.
�THE JINGLE
DRESS DANCE
At a time when there was widespread sickness and weakness among the people,
many people were searching for a way to restore the health of the community. A
young Chippewa girl had a dream in which she saw how effective prayers could be
made. The next day she went to a wise grandmother, a medicine woman, who helped
her with the realization of her dream. They sewed onto a dress of beautiful fabric
many small cones of metal. Each one went with a prayer. And, when it was worn in
the dance, the dress made a jingling sound recalling the saying of constant prayers.
THE SACRED
We dance within the Sacred Circle and become all that it represents. All things contained within the Circle are equal within
it. The Circle is the Universe. It is change, life, death, birth, and learning. It is the cycle of all things that exist; our way of
touching and experiencing harmony with all other things. All things of the Circle have life and spirit; the rocks, Earth, sky,
plants, and animals. Our spirit is determined and made whole only through the learning or harmony with all our relatives, the
other spirits of the Circle. And the Circle is the way of seeking this understanding; it is our mirror. (Adapted from Seven Arrows
Hyemeyohsts Storm)
The Pow Wow grounds are arranged in a series of circles: the drum, the drummers, the singers, the dancers, the dance area,
and the traders.
"You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works
in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days, when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to
us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished. The flowering tree was
the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave
warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This knowledge came
to us form the outer world with our religion. Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and
I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their
nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. Even the seasons
form a great circle in their changing, and al ways come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood
to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were always
set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children."
(John G . Niehardt, Black Elk Speaks, 1959, p. 164-165)

Dear Friends:
Thank you for your thoughtful invitation to the Grand Rapids area
annual Veterans' Pow Wow. As much as I would like to join you
today at the Ford Fieldhouse, prior commitments will not allow me
to do so.
t
As you honor area veterans in this very special ceremony, we are
reminded of our nation's heritage and diversity which unites us
and is the source of our strength. We shall never forget the
Forgotten Warriors - those special servicemen whom you honor
today - for their bravery and devoted service.
Ceremonies like
today's Pow Wow demonstrate our people's resolv~ nev~r to jorget
the ultimate sacrifices of so many of our loved ones.
I will truly miss being with you.

SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF FORGOTTEN WARRIORS
Korean War
July 27, 1993 marked the 40th anniversary of the Korean War Armistice. The War lasted three years and 32 days. The war was fought
between the communist North Korea and China against South Korea and 22 United Nations (U.N.) including the United States. This was
the first major war of the nuclear age. Korea turned out to be struggle of wills - whether communism or individual freedom would prevail.
The Allied men and women fighting there met that test and the tide against communism was turned into a victory often forgotten by history.
Welcome home honored American Korean war veterans and veterans of the armed forces of South Korea and the Allied Forces.
Vietnam War
March 29, 1993 marks the 20th year since the last American troops left South Vietnam. The war between North Vietnam and South
Vietnam and the free world forces lasted over 11 years. The free world forces consisted of the Republic of Vietnam, the United States of
America, Australia, New Zeeland, Thailand, the Philippines and volunteers from Canada. Welcome home honored Vietnam Free World
Forces. November 11, 1993 marks the dedication of the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project, Welcome home to the women who served .

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

LEONARD PELTIER
Leonard Peltier, Anishnabe/I.akota is
'
serving his 17th year of two consecutive life
sentences in maximum security at
Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary for a
crime he did not commit. What he did
was stand up for his people against the
wishes of energy conglomerates to mine the
rich uranium, oil and coal deposits beneath
the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South
Dakota. What he did was dare to say "no"
to continued injustices that were a part of
life at Pine Ridge in the 70s.
For this, he was convicted of the deaths
of two FBI agents during a shoot-Out at
Pine Ridge on June 26, 1075. He remains
in prison today even though the
government has actually admitted it doesn't
know who killed the agents.
THE BACKGROUND
In the early 1970s the traditional I.akota
people at Pine Ridge opposed leasing and
selling reservation lands fro uranium
rrurung. The government-backed tribal
leader, Richard Wilson, favored uranium
mining and was not adverse to vehemently
attacking anyone who got in his way.
Much of this violence was aimed at
destroying the American Indian Movement
(AIM) whom traditional I.akota people had
summoned for protection against the
onslaught of Wilson's FBI-backed police.
Leonard Peltier was among the AIM
members who answered this plea for help.
They came, aware that Wilson's police were
backed by military assault weapons, tactical
support, and FBI-supplied intelligence
about AIM supporters. The formidable
presence which the FBI maintained on the
reservation during this time was difficult to
ignore.
THE SHOOT-Our
It was in this atmosphere of violence
that, on June 26, 1975, two FBI agents
drove onto a family's land on the
res_ervation at high speed, in cars nobody
coul~ identify, allegedly following a Native
American in a red pick-up truck who had
been accused of stealing cowboy boots.
Their behavior precipitated a shoot-out in
which the agent and a Native American
man, Joe Stuntz Killsright, were killed.
According to the U.S. Civil Rights
Commission, within hours for the shoot-out
hundreds of paramilitary-equipped, combatclad FBI agents and U.S. Marshals staged a
dragnet through the reservation in a fever
of revenge in which men, women and
children were terrified and properties and
houses were ransacked. There was no
investigation into the death of the Native
American.
THE TRIALS
Of the four men eventually indicted for
the murder of the agents, one was released
due to "weak" evidence. Two others were
acquitted in July 1976 when a jury
concluded that although they had fired at
the agents, they had done so in selfdefense.
Leonard Peltier was indicted on the
same charges but was not tried until the
following year. Fearing for his life after the
shoot-out, he had escaped to Canada but
in 1976 was arrested and extradited based
on affidavits that in 1985 government
prosecutors admitted were fabricated. The
government successfully created an
atmosphere of fear and intimidation around
Peltier's trial, and the presiding judge
rejected all attempts by the defense to
introduce evidence of FBI culpability. This,
along with a prosecution team that withheld
exculpatory evidence showing that the shell
casing found closest to the scene of the

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

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

must raise leaders of peace and unite the religions
of the world as the spiritual force strong enough
to prevail in peace."
Arvol Looking Horse, the 19th Generation
Keeper of the Sacred Pipe for the Lakota Nation, _
opened the Lakota delegation's presentation with
a smudging of sweetgrass and a sacred song that
was followed by statements from Birgil Kills
Straight, Oglala Lakota, and Ollie Nespesni,
Sicangu Lakota. Looking Horse's message,
delivered in Lakota, was translated by Joe Chasing
Horse.
"The Lakota/Dakota/Nakota people are one
voice, heart, and mind- we are one nation. Under
Wakan Tanka, there are no boundaries that can
separate us as people," Looking Horse said.
"Mitakuye Oyasin" means "All My Relations," and
in our philosophy we value and respect all living
things.
"The philosophy of Mother Earth as a living
being has crucial importance for us. One cannot
sell one's Mother. You cannot carve up and
distribute your Mother who is the source of
nourishment and support for your very existence.
Yet that is happening."
There is a crying need to mend this hoop of
all nations which is included in our prophecy of
Mending the Sacred Hoop. We all belong to and
are a part of this sacred hoop. These past 500
years, our sacred relationship we have to one
another has been eroded. Our spiritual life has
been severely limited by our lack of connection to
our Mother Earth."
"Our sacred sites have been confiscated, our
people have been prevented from praying at these
places. We must again be allowed to access our
sacred sites for the continued existence of all
nations and for peace and harmony."
The conference was preceded by a ceremonial
planting of a Tree of Peace in New York's Central
Park offered by the Iroquois Confederacy.

"PLAIN TALK"
dealing with the angry child
Handling children's anger can be puzzling, draining, and
distressing for adults. In fact, one of the major problems in dealing
with anger in children is the angry feelings that are often stirred up in
us. It has been said that we as parents, teachers, counselors, and
administrators need to remind ourselves that we were not always
taught how to deal with anger as a fact of life during our own
childhood. We were led to believe that to be angry was to be bad,
and we were often made to feel guilty for expressing anger.
It will be easier to deal with children's anger if we get rid of this
notion. The goal is not to repress or destroy angry feelings in
children- or in ourselves- but rather to accept the feelings and to
help channel and direct them to constructive ends.
Parents and teachers must allow children to feel all their feelings.
Adult skills can then be directed toward showing children acceptable
ways of expressing their feelings. Strong feelings cannot be denied,
and angry outbursts should not always be viewed as a sign of serious
problems; they should be recognized and treated with respect.
To respond effectively to overly aggressive behavior in children
we need to have some ideas about what may have triggered an
outburst. Anger may be a defense to avoid painful feelings; it may be
associated with failure, low self-esteem, and feelings of isolation; or it
may be related to anxiety about situations over which the child has no
control.
Angry defiance may also be associated with feelings of
dependency, and anger may be associated with sadness and
depression. In childhood, anger and sadness are very close to one
another and it is important to remember that much of what an adult
experiences as sadness is expressed by a child as anger.
In dealing with angry children, our actions should be motivated by
the need to protect and to teach, not by a desire to punish. Parents
and teachers should show a child that they accept his or her feelings,
while suggesting other ways to express the feelings. An adult might
say, for example, "Let me tell you what some children would do in a
situation like this ..." It is not enough to tell children what behaviors we
find unacceptable. We must teach them acceptable ways of coping.
Also, ways must be found to communicate what we expect of them.
Contrary to popular opinion, punishment is not the most effective way
to communicate to children what we expect of them.
