P'ATUS P..EPO?a': THE FORI' MEIGS TREATY LAWSUIT "The university spends more money educating Indians from tlombay and Calcutta than it does Indians from Bay City and Cheboygan." --Paul J. Johnson On August 5, 1971 a lawsuit against the Regents of the University of Michigan was filed in Washtenaw (Ann Arbor) Circuit Court bJT Paul J. Johnson, Chippewa, on behalf oft.he children of the Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomy Tribes, This litiga• tion seeks an accounting of the monies received by t.he University from the sale of Indian educational trust lands. In August, 1817 Governor Lewis Cass formally incorporated the University of Michigan and was elected President of the Board of · Regents. In September , 1817 Lewis Cass draf'ted and signed the Treaty of Fort Meigs: Indian signers to this Treaty were the sachems, chiefs and warriors of the Chippewa, Ottawa and Pot.awatomy Tribes. Most of the articles of the Treaty dealt with the cash sale of Indian lands: however, in Article Sixteen the Tribes conveyed 4 1 000 acres of land to the University of ~ichigan; no money was paid to the Trlb es for this land. The University agreed ,in Article Sixteen to educate Indian children. The Treaty was ratified by the U.S. Senate and signed by President James Monroe. The original Treaty is on deposit in the National Archives in Washington, D.e. In January, 1826 President ~onroe issued a patent deed f or the 4 7 000 t.r-Jst acres to 11 The University of Michigan" under authority of ut.he sixteenth article of a Treaty, made and concluded" with the Tribes. This document is recorded by the Wayne County Register of Deeds, During the 19th Century the University sold the land. No complaint is made in the lawsuit against the buyers of the land, The Tribes insist, however, that the University bas a legal duty as trustee to make accounting to the Circuit Court for the monies received from sale of the lands. Also, the Tribes assert that the University, as trustee, has a l~l duty to account for profits realized from sale of the land. The position of Plaintiffs is that this money should be used to educate Indian children. �-2- ann arbor report (continued): the fort meigs treaty lawsuit In 1885 Thomas ?.:cintyre Cooley, Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and former Dean of U. of M.'s law school, stated that the value of the lands was greater than that given by John Harvard to Harvard University and ~eater than that with which Elihu Yale endowed Yale University 'And quite as justly entitles Tontagini and his associate chieftains to grateful remembrance among the founders of colleges." At the time this lawsuit was filed in 1971, less than 20 Native Americans•- WePe enrolled in a student body exceeding 40,000. While totally ignoring the educational rights of the descend• ants of the Treaty signatories, the University has continued to display the bones of Native Americans as well as two ''cigar store Injuns" in its museums. The University annually indulges itself in a racist "fraternity" initiation known as ?iichigamua; this charade involves White students masquerading as Indians in a disgusting and degrading manner and assigning to themselves "Indian" names. ( • There are now 40 Indian students.--ed.) While the ~niversity in its official publications recognizes , receipt of 40 acres of land from Ann Arbor citizens for its · main campus at a time when it had been in existence for 20 years, it totally ignores receipt of 100 times that acreage from the Chippewa, ottawa and Potawatomy Tribes when it was , only a month old! The University of r.!ichigan is the largest tax exempt institution in the state. Its official "Fact Br-ochure" states that its budget this year exc2eded $300 Million Dollars and that the value of its physical plant alone exceeds a Half-Billion Dollars. The lawsuit battles have waged on, first in State Court, then in Federal Court, and then back in State Court where as of December 31, 1973, a motion is still being considered by Judge Deake. WF..AT WE ',,"ILL DO IN 1974 Although the usual procedure required by law is that a defend~ ant must t'ile Answer within20 days of the date it is served with the Complaint, the law makes . an exception in that, instead of filing Answer, a defendant "may take such action as may be permitted by law." That is what the Defendant in this lawsuit has elected to do; thus Defendant has been dilatory and permitted ~efault to enter against it; it has sued the Plaintiffs in federal court saying that they were wrong to be in state court; after being thrown out of the federal court it came back to state court and said that the Tribes were in the wrong state court; after losing on that motion the University then lodged the charge that Plaintiffs "have f&l.ed to state a claim"!!! -3- ann arbor report (continued): the fort meigs treaty lawsuit At such time as an Answer is received from the Defendant the Plaintiffs are ready to ~ove to the proofs in this case. Our expert witnesses are prepared _for deposition and the documentary proof is ready to be offered into evidence. Thus, if no appeal of the ruling expected shortly from Judge Deake is taken to Lansing, we may be ready to have trial on the merits sometime in late 1974 or early 1975. THE FUT'lJRE: DOES THE RU--LE OF LAW APPLY TO INDIANS? We deal here with the problem of enforcing a written agreement. We seek the realization of the reasonable expectations that were induced in the forefathers by the ;vritten promise made by the first president of the Board of Regents. The title of the Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomy peoples to their lands was the most ancient, pure and absolute known to man; its validity confirmed by possession ani enjoyment antecedent to all pretense of claim by the Regents of the University of I.Lichigan or any other portion of the human race. The consent of the Indian peoples at Fort Meigs in 1817 was indispensable to a valid transfer of their title to tne Regents of the U. of M. The Chippewa, ottawa and Potawatomy peoples have existed as a distinct community for a period extending _ into antiquity beyond ~he aates and records and memory of man. We stand at the bar of justice of the Circuit Court for tne County of Washtenaw, itself named ror the Chippewa word "Washte-nong" meaning "t.he place of the great beyond." It is the destiny of this Court at this moment in the existence of this Indian community to interpret the Treaty that is a part of their washtenong. While sone say that even at this point we have been in Court too long, the complexity and power of the ideas and forces here joined require that the Court should move slowly but surely toward its responsibility of insuring that justice is done. The writer wishes to express his appreciation to those Native Americans who have given their encouragement and commitment to this test of the White Man's system of justice. It is my belief that the courts of this state will not turn their backs on 500 years of the development of the Law of Trusts. It is my hope and belief that great good for all the people of this state will flow from the final adjudication of the rights of the Children of the Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomy Tribes. In the last analysis the vision of the sachems, chiefs and warriors in 1817 at Fort Ueigs will be reaffirmed and ttrese Plaintiffs will achieve justice. --Elmer E. ltbite �ANN ARBOR REPORT (continu~d): 'U!fIVZ..::> II'Y OF MICHIGAU 'S PRESENT NATIVE M:EIUCAN -4- P~~. Tbe condescending tone of the two-page brochure describing the l'Tative American Program at the University of Michigan is enough to disc:ourage any American Indian student from applying :for admission to that illustrious institution. The brochure states that while the University of' Michigan is anxious to have American Indians apply, it only wants those "for whot:l we can predict a probability of success." It then hastens to add that Native Americans will not be judged by "the same guidelines as other applicants" since it recognizea that "certain segments of our population, such as Native Americans, should be judged by a somewhat different criteria." It seems to me the University of Michigan automa~ically assumes that the American Indians will naturally be accademically below par for it states that while considering each applicant's school records a:z:D test scores, itthem." will also "try to look at the many variables that inf'luence 3ut the brochure warns the American Indian student that he will "have to go through normal application procedures." It then de' tails all the extra :forms he will have to fill out merely because he is an American Indian! If' he can't afford the application fee he must write a letter saying so and attache it to his application. Then he must get a form on which to request an application fee grant. :re must be sure to check #24 on his application "to be considered as an Opportunity student", and #25 "to be considered for :financial aid. 11 If' he is tra:is:fering :t'rom another college he should check #25 and #30. A:fter he is notified o:f his acceptance the American Indian St~dent will receive information on how to &et :financial aid. He will have to prove his American IndiannesSf!nd so while waiting :for this inforoation he should write to the Scholarship Off'icer at the Keeweenaw .3ay Tribal Center at Bqraga, Uich. for a form which he must then take to his tribal of'fice to have them certi:fy how much Indian blood he has. It doesn't say what or where he is to do with this 'form, but I assume he is to keep it handy and be able to show it on denand. Anyway, he must now tell the Office of Financial Aid that he is American Indian so that it can give him "certain necessa~ f'orr.1s so that it can conduct a need analysis ±:or them, "thus enabling them to prepare a "package" f'or him. This tidy package thst will ;;set him through school "may consist of' an Opportunity Grant, American Indian Scholarship Fund, US B.I.A. Grant or , Tribal Grant, Work/Study and/or a r:iinimal loan." In addition, r if' they · can afford it, his. :!'amily "may be asked to c::ake a · personal :fim~ncial contribution to tnis package.'' It is not evident to me that the University of' l:ichigan r~ally ~esires Native American ~tudents. even though the bro- ann arbor reoort (cont'd): -Su of m's native american program chur~ of~ers them a chance to live together in a single residence hall "so that the:r can aid each other with the adjustment and studies." But the University has put some very f'ine Indian people on its staff'. Since it has the reputation of' being one of the better schools of the country, and since the Fort Ueigs 1'reaty L!iwsuit won't be settled for some time yet, this native American Program may be your only chance. So ~nat have you got to lose? Why not contact Linda Dixoi:!< the Native Ar.lerican Admissions Counselor (who is Ottawa herself') at the University of l'.ichigan, 1220 Student Activities Building Ann Arbor, !.Heh. 48104, (313) 764-7433. --shirley francis DETROIT REPORI' received this very 'fine summary from1 lJohn Muse and his daughter Sandra. J fwe A SUMMARY OF INDIAN HAPPENINGS: 1973 The year 1973 has been another hectic year :for the Indian People across the country. THE AGOUY OF Tfu: B.I.A. Broken and leaderless as 1973 opened the B.I.A. was under the two-caretaker directorates of' Richard s. Bodua.n and Marvin L. Franklin. Its operations were scattered in three locations. Morale in the 16,000 employee agency ebbed to the vanishing point. In September President Nixon nominated and the Senate conf'irm~d in late November ?Jr. Morris Thompson to head the Bureau of' Indian Affairs. He will have his hands full trying to put this agency into some sort of direction. THE OCCUPATION OF \~OUNDED KNEE The whole world watched and listened as the American Indian Movement woved in and beld this tiny - village in Sout:h Dakota for 71 days, r8sulting in the deaths of two people inside and the wotinding of' two federal marshals outside. 'l'!Je looked for proper recognition of American Indians was not achieved as was hoped, and now trial dates have been set f'or leaders Russell Means and Dennis Banks w'hile 103 others face long battles in court.

On January 9, 1973, President Nixon announced, with the disclosure of his new federal budget, that he would close the doors of the O:i"fice of Economic Opportunity, established by former President Johnson .~Jring his War on Poverty. O.E.O. had brought vast sums of money to the needy Indian people. In August 1973 it was put out of business but several of its functions were incorporated into O.N.A.P. (Of'fice of Native American Programs). O.N.A.P. will be under the jurisdiction of the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare (H.E.W.) Let's hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. THE FIGHT FOR THE DEAD On December 4, 1973 a historJ-making step was taken in Detroit with the filing in Federal Court of a petition to have Uichigan Public Law 750.160 declared unconstitutional. [$ee INDIAN TALK Vol. l Nos. 1 ~ 2, Dec./Jan. for word-for-word copy of that lawJ On January 9, 1974 Chief U.S. District Judge Fred W. Kaess signed a cease and desist order against the University of Michigan and the Michigan Archeological Society on behalf of the Concerned Indians of Michigan, representing the 32,000 Indian community of t:ichigan. At this time the court date· hearing has not been set. The decision of this case will have profound eff'ects throughout the land, wherever there is wholesale rape of Indian graves. ANTICS OF THE CITY OF ALGONAC Sometime in late 1972 - early 1973 the City of Algonac applied to H.;u.D. for 5.5 Million Dollars for an urban renewal project. The master plan was submitted for approval so that work could be st'1rted on the revamping of down town Algonac. On Fruit Street, a mere 2~ blocks from City F.all, is the landing dock of the Algonac - Walpole Island Ferry. This ferry hes been in existence for 90 years. For the last 25 years it has been operated by & can and his son. It is used daily by many Indian inhabitants of Walpole Island (a Canadian Indian Reserve). But the Algonac City Council did not see fit to include the ferry landing - Y.:hich is in the aree. of the proposed urban renewal in their master plan. It seemed they were about to remove the ferry landing dock completely from the dovm town area, perhaps altogether! The Concerned Indians of l~ichigan, i'.r. George Bennett - direc:to:r- at ~'liat time of r.!ic~igan 's Commission on Indian detroit report: a surmnarv of indian happenings: 1973 (cont'd) Af~airs - and many other members of the Indian com:nunity met with the City Council on behalf of the italpole Island people who depend on this ferry for transportation to their jobs. The Council finally agreed on December 18, 1973 that all due consido.ration would be given to keeping this ferry in existance. Let us hope they keep their word!

PURPOSE: Tc identify issues and problems facing American Indians and to set priorities for remedial and preventative programs; to enhance future relationships between American Indians and governmental agencies; to find new approaches and directions in meeting the total needs of American Indians; to examine all existing Indian programs relating to alcohol and drug usage among American Indians; to explore any solutions that are uniquely Indian and to form proposals and programs in these and other areas with the help of all concerned Indian people. Because of its seriousness and prevalence, the excessive drinking problems of some members of the Indian community are being considered hopeless and impossible to correct ••• Tribal governme~ts have left the responsibility for developing alcoholism programming to the federal agencies, and the federal agencies are slow to ·recognize the value of alco~ holism progra~ as a means of combating Indian alcoholism. As a result, alcoholism programming is underdeveloped in the Indian corrrrnunities. The Conference brought out the fact t hat Education's opportunities can only be meaningful to Indian student.s if such things are taken into account as cultural linguistics and the social backgrounds of the students. It also brought out that more American Indian parents and students, in fact, all members of the Indian community should be involved in the life of the school system. It stressed the importance of placing heavy emphasis on history, culture, political structure, languages and arts of Native Americans. DID YOU KNOW WAT POSTAL RATES ARE DUE TO BE RAISED IN' MARCH?

RAPIDS r~) .~ Alcoholism is rated as one of tne most serious social and health problems conf'ro~ting the Indian community today. It has a tremendous impact, not only on a drinker and his family, but on every person living in the Indian community. Indian drinkers appear to have "excessive drinking" patterns rather than social drinking pattern•. There is little stigma attached to this latter type of drinking. The drinkers in the Indian cormnunity appear to use alcohol as a means of escaping or relieving their cultural, economic, social and personal problems, but by drinking they f'urther 'complicate their lives and their ability to make better adjustments. In spite of these desperate condition\ there has been little done by way of organizing alcoholism programs to conbat Ir.dian alcoholism. l'he need for developing such programs is desperately needed, 0 ,,L :;::;:;,:; ~; 0UT~CH 756 3ridge St. , l~, w, Grand Rapids, i.ii. 49504 ~1'.AT IT IS A:;IJ II' suc:::EEDs: PH: 616 774-8332 DIIIBCI'OR: Larry Shananaquet It is a group that is dealing -.dt!: ":.he drinking problems amo::ig the Indian people in the Gra!rl Rapids area.

But five weeks later he walked out of the hospital. Still _h e felt that he had nothing to face but black, smothering depression and endless 1 empty time. While looking for a house he met Bernard ~fass 1 who introduced him to Gerald Vander ·Lugt, the pastor at Hillcrest Christian Reformed Community Church.

A prayer, meditation and thought for the day are read by one of the members from the 24 Hour Book of .Alcoholics Anonymous. At the Tuesday meetings the floor is le:f't open for general discussion on any topic desired by those present. At the Friday meetings the minutes of the previous meetings are read. Following this reports when necessary are made. Then the guest speaker or program is presented. All meetings are closed with the recitation by all of the Lord's Prayer. Refreshments and informal visiting follow• O.I.O. 's FOUNDATIOUS lfow Larry wanted to help other Indians who were t'!xperiencing the agonies he went through. With Chester Eagelman Larry and Carol conceived the idea of the "Owls Club". They laid the foundations in Novt'!mber, 1972. Father Richard VanLente, director of the Human Relations Commission of the Diocese of Grand Rapids, became acquainted with Larry and offered him the use of space in the West Side Apostolate Building for meetings. Because the mem- ' bers of the Owls Club found that dealing with drinking problems alone w.~s not enough the name was changed to Owl Indian Outreach, Inc. and its scopt'! increased to deal with the many prob~ lems associated with drinking. They now refer needy Indian ' families to the proper social agencies, provide recreational 1 activities for families, employment and counseling services, anQ work closely with such org"lnizations as the Civil Rights Commission, the loc"ll halfway houses, the S"llVl!.tion Army, the Sheriff's Depl'!rtment, t.he 6lst District Court, t11e Correction Deparl.ment, !'Ind with other I': lcoholism progr'l.m groups in Michigan. THEIR BY-LAWS Their purpose is to aid members of the Indian community with drinking problens. They welcome anyone who is inter-married, as long as one of them is of Indian descent. They will give moral support to any member who is truly interested in helping himself. Members will be considered first for any job opportunity; if none are interested it will be given to the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council. Anyone may join O.I.O. at anyt:ime for 50 cents a year. A member must. be sober for one year or more in order to hold an office. Offr cers must be elected every year and by active members only. To hold membership one must attend at least four meetings a month. A general board meeting is held four times a year. Any person attending any meeting intoxicated and causing a disturbance will be asked to leave. The chairman cannot okey the major spending of funds without first consulting the Board. Vi.HO IS LARRY SHANANAQUEI'? Larry is an Ottawa Indian raised in an Indian s&t~lement. Ee learned English when he attended public school. In 1955 at age 18 he le:f't home to work on construction jobs. He started drinking ai'ter work and on week-ends. During the winter months when there was no work drinking became his orrl¥ activity. At age 22 he was sent to Jackson Prison where he served 19 months for Breaking and Entering. ~bile in prison Larry learned many trades. He could have used his skills to obtain any number of high P.aving jobs and to lead a productive life. Inst.ead, he continued his drinking and his crimes. But New Years' .iSve, 1967 found 1.1\rry sober and thinking about the direction of his life. -15- booze problems and solutions (cont'd): -14- o. I.O. 's FUTURE 1\l The organization is fully incorporl!.ted as a non-profit group and hopes soon to receive its t'x-status number. This means that any contributions made to Owl Indian Outreach will be t"lx-deduc~ible. Larry hopes that with proper alconolic \.raining and the help of God the Great Spirit the O.I.O, can ~ring more Indian Brothers and Sisters to find solutions to their problems and thus be able to look to a better future. Since it is not yet fully fundee by local or state agencies Owl Indian Outreach, Inc. has been o;ier"-ting on donations, chiefly from religious organizations of all deno~i~tions.

I was sentto Korea - the Land of the Morning Calm - over the seas to spend my time for 'peace'. Early one day While standing guard ne5r the top of a mounta in I kept my duty to control the only road that went on to the top. I was looking down into the beautii'ul valley. Then I turned to look up the mountain read; I saw a man coming down from the top of the mountain, from where there should have been no one. I did not fear this man, for he looked to be an old brave. He came to me for a drink of v.rater, ~nd having a sked me if I had any, accepted the cup I filled for him from my canteen. Re dranked until filled. Then this man with no name, returned to the t op of the mountain from where he had col'.'.le, and then v:i.nished fror.:i my sight. But before he left my side he spoke kindly to me, saying, "As long as you are of this world, I will care for you, so :fear not for no harm will come to you." So it was that from that time on I have been favored by the Land of the Morning Calm, and by the old brave that visited me with a thirst, the GREAT SPIRIT has touched my spirit. --Gerry "Short Bull" Samons Oglala Sioux, #132835 Jac kson, .Michigan 49204 THEN MY HEARl' WILL BE GOOD FOREVER My heart was doing real good Until they locked me in this old prison. I was all the time thinking How bad the Indians were treated by ~he White men. 'They took me away f'rom my Indian girl From my fishing and hunting. Now I am all alone. There are not many Indians in this prison We got to live like the White man And that life is not for us Indians at all. When I am out of this old prison I'm going to think its all a big game Because I will be with my people Living just like. the great Forefather did in the old days. Then my heart will really be good again forever. --William "Red Fox" Wood Cherokee Jackson, Mi. -17- OH T.H!!.

Priority is given to Indian tribes, organizations, and institutions in awarding grants under this part.

Programs to provide opportunities for Indian a- dults to qualify for a high school equivalency certificate in as short a time as possible. 4. Programs to develop better techniques for attaining high school equivalency and employability. WHAT TO DO ABuur PARENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE PROBLEMS? As instructed by Part A of the Indian Education Act a group of Indian parents in a small community in southern Michigan set up a Parent Advisory Committee to advise the principal of their children's school on how they wished the Indian Education funds be spent. The principal, however, has decided to use the money to purchase new books for the school library. The parents feel that their children need other things more, such as tutoring and an improved hot lunch program. The director of Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs, George Bennett, would like to near from Parent Advisory Committees who are having these kindSof problems with their local education agencies, and will do everything he can to help them. He can be reached by writing or calling him at: Mr. George Bennett, director Michigan Commission on Indian Affairs 454 Hollister Building Allegan and Washington Streets Lansing, Michigan 48902 Phone: 517 - 373-0654 5. Survey and evaluation programs which define accur- ately the extent of the problems of illiteracy and lack of high school completion on Indian reservations. 6. Information on and evaluation of education programs offering opportunities to Indian adults. Public institutions and agencies, Indian tribes, institutioll!J a nd organizations are eligible for grants for projects which disseminate information about education programs, services and resources available to Indian adults, and evaluate the effectiveness of Federally-assisted programs that Indian adults may participate in. Indian communities and organizations should make the local school district, where Indian children attend, aware of the Indian Education Act and apply for funds to the Office of Indi. an Education in Washington, D.C.

Keep an ongoing census of Native American studeats in the area schools. 2. Pinpoint those scheols with the highest concentrations of Native American atudeata at all three levels: elementary, juw.ier high, and high school. 3. Refer interested high school students for CGllege counselling. 4. Act as community liason between school and the etu~ dents' homes. The census she emphasized as bei111g absolutely necessary if the schools are to obtain funds from the India• Education Act for use to aid Native American students. "And the best way to do that, many in our area feel, is to improve curriculum, add audio-visual aids, and trai• teachers to be senilitive to the needs of Native American students," Lisa stated, adding, "This will help them better their classroom performance, thus giving wr___g_hildro the inceative te at.ay in school." �-10- ~11- Dead and Double Standard (continued2: Lisa Moser (continued): While her census work must have first priority now, she hopes to lla.ve it methodized sooa, so that she will be able to do more home visitations.

Dr. Richard Flanders feels there is ne longer the iRterest i• them that there used to be. "There is really o•ly so much you can learn from bones," he said, adding that "much more illt'ormatio•"about &ll li.ncie•t civilizatio:a can be gette:a from the study of former village sites allld other places used by these peoples l•lllg age. He emphaaizecl that ".aoat. professie11&l archeel•gists have become very concerJted about hew the Iadia:a people feel regardi:ag this aJlld we are trying to f:i.Jld ways t• keep fr•m •ffendimg them.~ Dr. Fl~nders mentioned how the C•lli"erence o:a Michigan Archeology (COMA) had met with the late Johll Wi:ac~ester in June, 1973 to discuss this very problem. Profess•r Richard Maluuf alse showed concern for Native American feelings and beliefs, but he thillks that Anthropology ~~11 suffer i f these ancient remains c&JU1.•t be studied. When asked what ca:a be learited fr()l!l them be said, 11 A great deal. ~en a society has not left any books •r writings, we must 'read' everything els• they have left - tools, cooki111g utensils and cookillg' fires, foundations of their houses and temples, a:Rd so on. One of the most important sources are their burials; these tell us a lot about the people." But exactly vtnat can be learned from the physical remains of a people? Professor Malouf replied, "From the skeletal remains we can learn tne average height, their ages at death, the sex, and often we can ge~ some clues about 'I.hat kind of diet they ate from the condition of the teeth, and something of their physical condition: if they had broken bo•es or diseases of' t.he t>.:aea. 11 He returned t• the subject of village-sites. "Theee also tell us a.lot about the peeple - about their s•cial habits. We ca• •ften tell h•w l•ng they lived ia a place, perhaps what ki•d of geveI'Jlll1ent they had. From the kitche:a middens --that is our werd for gar~ dump-- we can efte• learn what they ate at various times and seasoRs, and about how many people lived there.'' As to the question of what this could mean to the Indian of today, he admitted it had little "except that our findings can give them more C<>JICrete kn:>wledge about their ancestors." �-13- -l2- Dead and Doµble Sta•d•rd (continued): 11 A:D.d as more and more groU1ld is cevered with parking lots and buildi:ag constructions," Prof'. Malouf' went o:n, "more and more archeological sites are being lost forever. This puts a questioa iA my mind. Whe• a prehistoric site is accidentally discovered during the construction of' a building or parkimg lot, would the IndiaB people ebject to archeologists being called in to remove remains found --whether it is bones or pottery-which they would like to study fer a short ti~e, and then return them to either an Indian group or arrange for their reburial themselves?" Both pro:fessors were emphatic i11. their certainty that "•• one is going out &Jl.d deliberately looking fer burials nowadays. We don't want te offend the India• people. There has been too much of that already!" If the other members o:f the Co».ference o• Michigan Archeology feel the same way as Dr. Flanders and :11.r. Malouf' say they do, the• it would seem that they would have no objection to the changing of' Public Law ?50.160, if the Indian people desire · it.

I found it to be a deeply moving experience. ·1,e arrived about 1 0 p.m. r.1a ry Gillespie greeted us with an offer of mint tea and hot soup ti or coffee, if you want." Clarence had gone to meet Eddie Benton, Third Degree r.:edicine ?:an, at the airpot>t. He was coming in from St. Pat;l, I.linn. where he is director of the Red 3chool for Indian children. Simon's cousin, Betty Pamp and her daughters Judy and Joan were already there. Moose Pamp had gone nith Clarence. Others continue to arrive. About midnight Eddie Benton arrived. He immediately began the ~eat Lodge ceremony, which women may not attend. It was pouring rain, and so we waited in the Gillespie~' mobile home, drinking coffee and chatting. Off in the distance, in harmony with the rain, we could hear the drum,; Around 2 a.rn. the men came in, changed their drenched clothes and drank some hot coffee. Then we all headed for the "round house 11 - the new house the Gillespies are building - for the Spirit :::eremony that ·would be held on the completed loft of the second floor. ·tie seated ourselves on cushions and sleeping bags around the Medicine :r.1an and his three assistants - all young men froQ ~ichigan. The Gillespies had requested these ceremonies in thanksgiving for the Great Spirit's blessings, and they were seated to the right of Eddie Benton. With the preliminary preparations completed, the lights were turned off, leaving us enveloped in pitch-black darkness. Prefa ced by prayers in £116lish of thanksgiving to the Great Spirit, and beckoning his aid, this was followed by s acred I~ide songs and chants in the Chippewa tongue, accompanied by the sacred water-drum. Then light was returned, and the sacred pipe was smoked by all, passing solemnly from one to another. .:!:a.ch of the participants spoke of his feelings and intentions in fol·· lowing this way of life, of its meaning for him, and asked the others to pray for him. It was emphasized that if we could not believe in this w~y, to at least respect it. At the conclusion, Mary Gillespie gave out the traditional gifts to some of the people present. Tears suddenly welled up in my eyes when she handed me a g ift of red cloth and then shook my hand firmly. A Naming Ceremony was schedull'!d to begin "at the second light of dawn." Several months ago Pat Kay had asked Moose Pamp to be the Namer of her twin sons, Jude and Josh, now one year old. ,.e ~ere all gathered on the main floor of the "round house", and Uoose announced that he had studied each baby's characteristics '},·~ the oiib'11a reli.,.io::1: a wav of life, cont'd: that had been p~ovided him, and that he had chosen their names. Gr9.Ildpa.rents ~ee~ay and Irene Elk had asked me to be one of the four sponsors. ~ch sponsor declared their intentions to aid the babies should they ever need. Lloose encouraged their mother and the sponsors to help the children to follow the Indian way, to always be proud of their Indian heritage. "I have chosen their names, 11 he then said simply. "Josh, 1 Bam nosh Kung Noo Din', which means 'He Who Chases the Wind'. Jude, born last, will be known as 1 Ya Bin Dung Noo Din•, meaning 'He \Vho Sees the Wincf.• 11'h6 is t.he · oldest, will be known as The ceremony was concluded with a feast of sweetmeat (meat cooked with apples and raisins), fried potatoes, cranberries, a fruit mixture of strawberries and blueberries, fry bread, mint tea and coffee. We had to return to Grand Rapids that morning. Thus, we missed participating in the Spirit Feast that has become an annual occasion every fall among Indians who follow the Traditional Way. Nevertheless, what I did see increased my respect and appreciation for the beauty and dignity of that Way. A.I.M. LEADERS W SPEAKING TOUR: Ofi October 19 the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council sponsored a pot luck supper with A.I.M. leader DENNIS BANXS and A.I.M. attorney RAMON ROUBIDEAUX as honored guests. They are on a speaking tour to acquaint the general public of the facts leading to the occupation of Wounded Knee, s. Dak. last winter, and of the trials the leaders are now facing in both state and federal courts. In remarks made at the center V.r. Banks stressed the concern of A.I.I.I. for social change necessary to the American Indian. Ur. Roubideaux commwted that 11 the American Indian is waking up. He is making the white man respect us as American Indians!" and that it is time "that there is liberty and justice for all -like t!le Pledge of Allegience declares. 11 He spoke of the upcoming t.rials, saying "we are about to launch legal battles never before seen, on behalf of the American Indians. We must, for pur children, for the yet to be born!" Both gave major speeches at the new Student Center of Grand Valley State Colleges later that evening.

There have al.ways been strange dealings with Indians in such towns as Japid City, Sturgis and Custer. Custer, especialy, is very antiIndia::. In fact, racist atti~udes have been strong in that state ever s~~ce Custer was defeated by the Sioux at the 3attle of the Biet'.~rn. Indianness has literaly been beaten out of the Indians there. The jails and prisons reflect this, 40%, sometimes 60%, of t~e inmate populations are Indian, } The traditional chiefs called A.I.M. to meet with them at Calico, S. Ua.k. on the 25, 26, and 27 of February, 1973. Two women from the reservation came in to the meeting. They were crying. They begged the chiefs and us to do something. "Where are the men?" they asked, "Li.ust the women lead the fight 'for Indian rightsf" They called us "weekend warriors" who were not men at all because none of us could stand up against one man." ?our times the tribal council has tried to impeach its president, Richard Wilson, because he has misused tribal monies, received kickbacks from a Rapid City construction company, has writt.e"1 checks for $1000,00 without the consent of' the tribal council, has hired his own family - put them on the payroll- and raise~ his ovm salary from $11,000.00 to $19,000,00. ;)avid Long, the vie president protested, and Wilson fired him. When the tribal council presented all the evidence to bhe B.I.A., nothing When Wilson got wind of our meetings he called for ·:i'ederal assistance, and 156 federal agents arrived. Facing them, the two women made us realize the real test before us. Up til now, all had been rhetoric. Here were the agents on one side, the women on the other. 'Do we have any guts left?' I asked ~yself. 'Have all the Indians who died, have they died for nothing? Are we just weekend warriors?' With these questions running through my mind, I had to admit, the Indianness hllil been beaten out of my people. I know how I used to cringe when I heard that the federal agents were looking for me. hap?e~ed. :'he B. I .A. was set up in 1849 to act as ti·ustee for all the tribes. Since that ~ime andiunder their trusteeship Indian land holdi.!lgs nave dwindled from 150 million acres to 50 million! The way they have set up their operation, it takes months to get anything done! The Indians are divided into areas with each under an agency. And each agency is broken up into sub-agencies. A claim i:mst be sent to one's sub-agency which sends it to the agenc;{ director, who forwards it to the area director, where in turn it is passed on to the deputy commissioner. He ~ust get it to the ilirector of the 3,I.A. But the B.I.A. is only one o'f a dozen departments under the Secretary of Interior. It must CO!ll<f' pete for attention and interest with the Bureaus of La.~d .IJanagement, bf Rec~;!;.ion';.!".of. • Realth, Education and '*elfare, and the Corps of Army Engineers! By the time a decision is made on a claim and that decision has made its way back iown to the tribe, six r"ionths have passed, There are tvrn types of reservations: Opened, and closed, The Oglala Sioux chose to have a closed one, and this entitles then to t:ieir own police. Article I of the 1860 treaty with them says t~~t if any one does bad on the reservation, the Indians \Till deliver up the wrong doer to the U.S. government to be tried and punished. Well, they did that with Wilson. Eight out of 11 ~eltl ers signed the request to impeach him. Nothing happened except that Wilson ordered all residen~s not born on the Pine Ridge rteservation to leave.it. Thus, two separate issues led to Wounded :Knee: the racist attitudes of the whites, and the overriding of the treaties made ~~th the Sioux. The traditional chiefs of the Oglala Sioux had begon to resist the U. s. government in the 1920's. Thus, the Heorganiza~ tion Act of 1934 provided for the formation of new tribal governments where the people elect the tribal council and president of the tribal council. -1\e were all gathered at the townhall in Calico when we deci-ded to move to Porcupine, S, Dak. On the way we stopped at Wounded Knee to visit the mass grave site of those who died there in the L:assacre of 1890. It came to us there that we could go no further, that ~e had to make our stand here in this place where so many had died needlessly. You know, the Treaty of 1860 never spelled out that there would be a B.I.A. to dictate to us, And as long as it does, as long as it si their trustee, there will be no self-deterlbination. Nitness the fact that it makes contracts with outsiders to use Indian lands. l ~ It is hard to ask for the abolition of the B.I.A, It argues with the Fisheries ~nd Wildlife Dept., the Geodetic Survey Dept., the 3ureau of Land J.:anagement, and all the rest, on our behalf. It watches over the Indian from birth to de~th. In fact, bot.h the B.I.A. and the Justice Dept. tried to dictate to us at Wounded Knee as to what kind of burial service we could have for our two fallen comrades! 3ut it was while I was at Wounded Knee that I realized a lot of people - Indians and non-Indians - all across the country were concerned about us and were beginning to help us. There arose a de-finite hope as Black, White, Chicano, Oriental - all colors began to come and help us, We Indians have four sacred colors, black, yellow, white and red: they represent mankind. We began to realize that the majority of people were on our side, and I �-8-9- a.i.~. leaders on speaking tour, cont'd: tC.o':~t., are got to 'Ifost of the warriors are not here at i'iouncled Knee, but across the country! ' Well these Sioux ladies Indian men are no longer weekend warriors! ~t t:-iere, all ~..::eir answer. O' -' !' One last word: to all those from Il:ichigan who contributed cause, who risked so much, we thank you. * * * * * * * JUST:".:3: AlID LIBERI'Y FOR US (Mr. Roubideaux' speech) I am an Oglala Sioux, born on the reservation, and I have law for 23 years in Rapid City. All my cases were on the white men. Now I am working for the Indians. And believe me, those 23 years were a vacation! pr~c~iced beh~lf of •~at is a hero? In the 1700's the American colonies were rule:: "!Jy Great Britain, and the people began to r esist the taxes and ~rutality of British rule. One of the ways they resisted ~as ~o dump a valuable cargoe of tea into Boston Harbor. These peo~le have gone down in history as heroes and patriots. ~ose Indians who gathered at Wounded Knee formed the greatest band of heroes and patriots you ever saw! ~hen the federal age~ts surrounded them they were heavily armed and traveling iu ~mored personnel carriers. Our brave band had 22 rifles among ther:, plus clubs, knives and a:few sets of bows and arrows. But they were prepared to die for this cause. They weren't going to be ¥i':lite men any longer. They were going to be Indian! It W'lS time to throw off the yoke of tyranny and oppression. In 1.268 the Second Fort La.ram~ Treaty was made with the Sioux, pronising that the western hali of South Dakota would be theirs forever -- until gold was discovered in the Black Hills. ••hen the Indians complained about white trespassers, soldiers were se~t out to keep the whites off, but they were soon siding with them '1c,!3'ainst the Indians! Crazy Horse, one of our greatest leaders, was killed. So was Sitting aull. And they got the Indian police to do it! Indian men began to disappear. The collaborators and traiters were wined and dined in Washington, D.C. The heros wa~.pUnished for sticking up for Indian rights. They were·' l"emoved fart.lier west, "disappeared" or outright externd,nated. John Collier, the B.I.A director in 1934, was a man who could while watching Indians starve. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 w~s a bureaucra~s dream. It contained no plan for a legal system on the reservations, but the B.I.A. used it to set one up. crJ a.i.m, leaders on speaking tour, cont'd: They used it to keep t:r. Indian quiet while the white nan picked his pockets. The Act did not provide for separation of powers in tribal government. All the power is in the tribal council, and Indian police enforce tribal law. If you get the wrong guy in there as tribal president, there is practically nothing you can do. Wilson's promises got him elected, and he may have been a pretty decent guy at first. But when he found out how much power he had, he couldn't resist! It is a dictatorship in evecy sense! When I decided to run for attourney general in 1970, I we~t looking for some statistics on Indians in the state. I was aghast at what I found • Only 8% of the state's population is Indian. Yet, 60:~ of all crimes are done by Indians. This shows they aren't conforming to white rules, and that Indians are arrested and put i~ Jail for things that a white man could do and go scott free! (,·:.:r babies die four times faater than vmite children. And 35 to 40;; of the state's prison population are American Indian, These statistics haven't changed much in forty years! I wanted to see some of our Indian prison inmates, an:l talk to them. I visited one of the prisons where the warden arrang~ to have all of them brought together. When I stepped up in front of them, looked over that sea of 500 Indian faces, all so young, I thought, 'My God, here is the cream of our race!' Unemployment on the reservations is 70 to 75%. :aut our p~l>­ tector, the B.I.A~, uses 95% of its budget to operate itself. B.I.A. workers receive tremendous salaries, and they are often inadequate to do their jobs! Their main job is to protect Indian resources. Recentl7 l was called on a case in Oklahoma dealing V<i.th the estate of a deceased Osage woman, made wealthy by the finding of oil. Eer estate was being contested in such a way that it would remai.""l. ir:. Indian hands. It would go to a museum that she had endowed. When oil was first discovered on Osage lands white men be~...n to .marry Osage women and then kill them to collect their oil i~ heri tance. One such man did just this, then married his dece~.=ed wife's sister and tried to do the same thing to her. The e·ri'.!ence wasn't conclusive and so they merely banned him from !:-.c:..~ terr~tory forever. In 1925 an Act of Congress was passed p~e­ vent1ng anyn~ne Osage land from falling into white hands fo~ ~-7 reason whatever. Well, this case I was investigating, guess -~c �-ll- -1~ a.i.m. leaders on speaking -tour, cont'd: w-~s caretaker of the museum fighting for the estate - the sar:ie man who h ad tried to get the estates of both those s isters! He wa s in his eighties n.nd the old buazard wa s still trying to do it! And yet A. I.I.:. people are c a lled hoodlums - by those t s lking the loudest while in the henhouse stealing the chickens! We have indeed a brave band of heroes who are g oing to see that the American Indians have a better way of life. There were 64 tribes represented at ~ounded Knee. And each has gone back to his own tribe. ~a ch is prepared to make another wounded rillee! But I have a great ~l of f a ith in the American people. rhnt is vfny we're on this spe Jking tour.

All we want is justice a nd liberty for us. And there is very little of both in to~ns like ~J3.pid City, Sturgis and Custer, But the American people, I know, are going to stand up and insist that we be given the liberty and justice that is the right of us all. * * * * * * * * * * * Following the talks t '.1 ere was a question and a nswer period, in which !,Jr. Banks brought out the fact that all these indicted face long prison sentences. He himself faces ones for 205 years plus life, as well as a state sentence of 150 years! M'r. Roubideaux brought out ~he difficulty getting their case together. Their investigators and legal advisors were repeatedly thrown off the reservation by the B.

Friday saw the election of officers. Perhaps of most interest to Ifdchigan Indian people was the election of Ernie Stevens to the office of Vice-President. 1h', Stevens is a consultant who aids Indians in setting up businesses, advising them how to obtain loans for this purpose; and so on, Disc<:ssed were such subjects as the reorganization of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, tribal problems, ana reservation happenings. Leaders from the Fort McDowell Reservation in Arizona told of their struggle to retain their land. Two hundred seventy-seven Apaches live on this 15,000 acre reservation.
