This is the way I feel as I leave Crand Rapids to go .into training for my future job as counselor for American Indians, may they be adolesence, young married or senior cit:lzens. I have hopes of attaining other degrees in college but my first and only desire is to help some one with a problem which they may think isn't easy to solve. RfJffiT ON 1979 ~NT TO 11-E GRAND a UNIT 4, RI~ NORTHERN MICHIGAN OrrAWA ASSOCIATION Total payment: $1,750,000 Total number of applicants: 43S8 Total certified applicants: 2885 Number of minors: 862 As I go in this new home, people and sounds, Payments for minors are being held in trust by I go with a good feeling because I have the federal Government. The money is regularly learned a lot from my elders and friends reinvt~sted to earn the best interest rate .. here in Michigan. ·Number of applicants reported deceased before I know there are four risks: payment was made: 40 payments for persons now The risk one must accept deceased will be made to their heirs after The risk one can afford to take their estates have been probated. The risk one cannot afford to take The risk one cannot afford not to take Each certified applicant received a letter of congratulations from the Bureau of .Indian Risk taking ~s part of taking chances all Affairs, and a file number . for any future reour lives.

They understand my need to live my life as I see fit - not as a mother only. Bob and Waneta Dominic are the main reason these payments have been made. Bob died four years ago, after working over half his.life for a settlement of Michigan Indian Claims. He was an outstanding leader of Michigan'.s I have physical needs as well as I need em- Indians and a good friend. · It.is unfortunat~ otional outlets. I like and do a lot of re- that he did not .live to see these payments lating to others and have acqulred many made .. , Waneta has carried on their work . Their friends in doing so. I feel good about family- .and friends are'. proud of c ~he s~ccess changing my life. I'll continue to learn they· have achieved. from others· and my most exciting thing to come· now ls my spiritual well being- My spiritual satisfaction will come as I learn to pray, to sing out loud, to laugh at clean, meaningful jokes and crying honest tears - not wlth anger or lonesomeness but at somethlng good to hear.

Some of us ate too much fry bread and had a time bowling when we got back to Grand Rapids that night. But all in all it was exciting. It's good to see our Indian pebple gathering together and participating in these sort of activities. It makes for great fellowship with each other, and gives everyone a chance to visit With those we don't see very often. This is the way I like to see our people get along - not feuding with each other, or holding g,udges against their blood brother. It does sbmething to the heart which made me feel good to be able to bd there ahd wifness such a day of fellowship and enjoy myself with the rest of the peo~le.

They all did a good job playing. and did their best. There also were good things to eat for all of the players and visitors thanks to young ladies of the reservation and the famous "fry bread" makert Eleanor Sprague. She did a good job of whipping up some Indian bread, golden brown in that real hot me-da, and at such great speed. · Me-gwetch Deb-e-sahn!

He operated a steam engine in the once thriving Suttons Bay sawmill then later in the Kllway sQwmlll, retir~ng at age 70. When questioned about the fishing rights dispute of recent years, Geooo said once he couldn't understand it. "I used to look around the sky, the waters and the woods and I thought they belonged to God. Now I guess they belong to the DNR, ti he chuckled. On a happier note we'd like to send our.our congratulations to William (Bones) Fox and Joann Leaureaux who tfed the knot on Feb 15th _1980. Much happiness to you two.

The Indians received payment ranging from one-half Qent to £ifteen cents per acre for this land~ prices that were well below · the going rate at that time. 'r'his 13 million acre area included all of '~estern Michigan north of a line from Grand Haven to Lowell and west of a line-from Lowell to Alpena. It also included the .eG'lstern one-half of the Upper Peninsula. In 1946, Congress passed the In.dianClaims Act .to handle cases for Indians who had not received adequate payment for their land. In 1948, _Robert and Wanetta Do~inic of the Northern Michigan O~tawa Association, initiated a claim for the , Ottawa ·and Chippewa Indians for reimburs,e ment at . .1~. a rate of $1. 25 per acre. 11.'hrough lengthy negotiations ·over the next 25 · . years, a settlement was reached in 1972 for compen$"1tion ·at a rate·· of ninety cents per acre. This money is now being held in trust, accumulating interest, .which makes the total setUe:ment appr.oxirn<).tely $15 million by ·the end of 1979. a Negotiations are currently underway to estahlish distributfon plan for this settlement. It is likely that the fon:nul~ will be the same or very · similar to that used in the settlement with the Grand River Band of Ottawa for the Treaty of 1821. That settlement was based on the Annuity Payroll of 1911. In an 1870 :roll, and the 1908 Durant Roll, over ·a,ooo Michi.gan Ottawa and Chippewa who were one-half Indian or mor.e were listed. However. after careful screening to elminate those enr olled with other tribes and those who were not one-half Ottawa or Chippewa;. and· markin'\J them on the 1908 Durant Rc?ll with red and blue che ck marks, 5,644 Ottawa and Chippewa qua:fified for the 1911 annuity payment. The current settlement will be distributed equally to descendants ·of members. of the Grand River, Grand Trave rse, Little ·r:raverse, Sault Saint Marie Ba.~ds Mac~inac and that were parties to the 1836 treaty. Mrs. Wanetta Dominic, who ·chai.rs the 1821 and the 1$36 descendant's . committees has been doing certification work for the Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of lower Michigan sin'c e the ear;ly 1960's whenever it was required for education, health and employment purposes. *****'****•1t****"*****"**'*****"*********************"**************~*************** •. 3 �,~TI\£· N'ERICAN ·Ern:ATIOO. ffioowt .. nav~ i.l ,aJ?l?~icf,'.1=~ Program.

TOR. -: Hachiste Quintana 8 �IN 1\91.R ILt1 January 14, 1980 Huron Potawatomi Athens Indian Reservation Fulton, MI 49052 On January 5, 1980, the ranks of our Potawatomi nation were thinned by the passing of our brother John Chivis Sr. Services for John were held Tuesday, January 8, 1980 at Vanderpool Funeral Parlor in Grand Rapids. During the latter part of John's life, he gave much of his time for others. This will dlways be remembered and appreciated by fellow tribespeople. _ One of the ways he served was being a member and treasurer of the Council. The faithful and persistent efforts he invested in this position will be greatly missed by all. . ' Mr . Chivis served as Pastor of an Indian Church in Grand Rapids. It is of commendable achievement that he could find the time he did to devote to the needs of the tribe. Those. who will feel the loss the most will be John's family. Heartfelt sympathies are extended on .their behalf.

Bv SAM D.JsH The two most common questions I am asked in our community today are; "Atte·· you Indian, or are you traditional Indian?" I f eel being Potawatomi Indian, it's my .responsibility to have knowledge of these questions. · "Being Indian" to me means being born to an Indian parent. I can't understand how .. a person can be "Indian'! without having any . ancest~al blood in them • . So to me, just anyone can't have the privilege to sh~re in the inju$tice, stereotype, pride and all other things which we "Indians" share and experience. "Are you traditional Indian?" I find this question more difficult to answ~r. Trad~ ition means practicing your culture. (Having been .handed down from generation to generation.) Or further, how ! ·understand being traditional, means having spiritual beliefs. Spiritual to me, means living the truth of life, which.shouldn't -be confused with religion, which. I understand means living the church. AN INDIAN PRAYER - · O' GREAT' S?1131r, · ·. · · W HOSE VOICE l HEAR IN THE WINDS, . ~ Vff:>$E BREATH ·GIVES LIFE TO ALL TiiE hORlJ),. HEAR t.£ I I AM ~ .

CHAPTER XLIX that ~· LEGEND OF THE ROADRONNER One day when the Indians returned from the hunt} they discovered their fire had died down; only the gray ashes remained. .The Indians prevailed upon Roadrunner to rw1 to Lightning-God, keeper of the Fire, and ask him for ,one of his fire-sticks. · Ro.adrunner, being a good fellow, agreed and started at once for the mountain home of Lightning-God. His strong legs helped him to "fold up the earth" (make good time); soon he reached his destination. "What brings you here?" asked LightningGod. 11 The Indians badly need fire." t1No! 11 Lightning-(.lod angrily retorted. Roadrunner realized it was useless to ask again, so the first chance he had, he snatched one of the fire-sticks from the blazing fire. Hastily placing it across his back and curling his tail over it, \o,~ scampered away. Lightning-'1od grabbed some flaming arrows and began shooting at Roadrunner saw an arroyo and scurried into it, escaping the arrows. But the beautiful plu.'T!eS on his head were burnt 'off, leaving only 2 small tuft. His back was singed so trra.t it became a brownish color, and his eyes turned red fr·om the smoke he endured. Roadrunner .successfully brought the fire.stick to the Indians. When the women saw bis tired red eyes and his short, stiff bushy head they lougly wailed, "Shoik, Shoik, Shoik 11 (Poor Bird). Roadrunner was touched by their display of love and wail ed, "Poi, Poi, Poi." Ever since then the Roadrunner h~·.c: :-·:ir1·" i,:, hpme _in t.tle chaparral. Whenever he finds a fat lizard he cheerfully chants, 11 Thra v Thr'at' Thra! 11 When the Indians hear tis chant they smile grateftflly.remembering what~.Roadrunner did for them. REl?RINTED: Pima.

Wh.Ue walking through the woods one day, A strange sight I did see I came upon a well worn path, Which wasn't meant for me Should I pursue this hidden trail? Just where would it lead? My heart beat faster at the thought, Of mystery and intrigue. The thought became enticing, Had I a lesson to be learned? And step by step I started, Down the trail of no return. I followed it a When much to my I saw a picture Right before my tong long way, · surprise, so unique, eyes,- Br.ight fires burned by tall tee pees, Childre·n laughed·\ in glee, Woman dressed in buckskin dresses, 1 fringed around the knees They had a quiet dignity, Like I had never seen, Who were the people living here? I asked what can this mean? I felt I was intruding in a pdvate family here, I tried to turn, Retrace my steps, But some force held me here. These people and this village, Seemed more like home to me, Are those my parents sitting there? I watched so silently. In thl.s life I lived before, I came to earth again, I felt so peaceful and content, Something held me then. The Great Chief came from out the darkness, Which had fallen now; A sadness settled on the village, The drum beat soft and low He spoke " Hark! People hear me, My heart is sad and torn, My son was ta:..:en from our. village Never to return. 11 1r1-1e left our village, food to seek The elk and deer to stalk: He cared not for the danger, He was mig!1ty Yellow Hawk. ri He found his prey and aimed his arrow, Then a rifle cracked, The valiant Yellow Hawk went down, 11 A bullet in his back," 11 The. white man laughed~. and tauntedJ 'That 1 s another one for me, · We got the gallant Yellow Hawk, Ota· Captain will be pleased.'·" And as his blood spilled on the ground. l'iis spirit to rebirth, A voice was softly heard to say, "I shall return to earth.n 1 felt h.is cour,;xge, hurt and pai.n, And knew his brave~y, It was a mystery no ··more; I knew, that I was he, Return again I have, 1hat 1 s the force impelled me home, I!ve come back to my people On the trail of no return.

She has been around this way before, working at the Council from 1973 through 1977t first ·as a receptionist and t hen as a book keeper. Ambitious Kay has also been attending Grand Valley State Colleges for t wo and a half years and before that, spent a year at Junior College. When finished with her schooling, Kay wants to go into social work, working with young Indian children. A surprising discovery recently made by Kay is that she . is a Potawatomi. You see, Kay always "thought" she was an Ottawa. Formerly Kay Shaganaby, she is now single (sort of), and is the mother of pretty and precocious Isabel, who is nine years old. Being out in the woods by the lake, pow wows, and ~usic makes Kay happy. She also enjoys playing the guitar. Rather quiet' for a Gemini, there is a side to her which she says she always keeps to herself. And her philosophy for living? 11 If lt feels good, and doesn't hurt anybody else, go ahead and do it!" Sounds interesting, Kay. 4 �MEMORANDUM June 11, 1979 To: Tndian Groups and organizations. Dave Dominic 4761 Giles Ave. Ada, MI 49301 (616) 456-5071 (work) (616) 874-6362 (home) From: Philip V.

Long have they been misunderstood, these the sole inheritors of this great country, satisfied with a.l l that Mother Earth had bestowed upon them, able to live in a harmony known only to a few, wealthy beyond the wildest dre&lll.!I of Mank.ind. The Native American, devesta.ted by th0 coming of the White Man, sustained only hy a dre-.~ - to be Indian. My heart cannot hold the joy I feel because I was allowed to take part in the reincarnation of the Red Man - the Willllpanoag. The Indian movement ha.a bequn; it is so deep and private that there are no words to express our feelinqa. I shall therefore speak to you of them in a language of Nature, our religion. I do this so you might "see"; for you must "see" us before you can understand us. The thunder of the Orum is in our.hearts, of the surf, our voice, The wind in ~he trees, our song, The scent of the flowers, our breath, The chatter of the birds, our children, The softness of the deer., our women, The strength of the buffalo, our men, The roar The silence of the night, our love, We also differ Hl other values: you work 1rn that you nuqht pl.11.y; we play hard at work .. The warmth of the sun, our fires You chop down trees so that you might plant; we plant where there are no trees. You put fences around your cemetari.es; and dig up ours. You rationalize your *Tongs and change the laws t:o fit yo\U' needs; 'our p.eople sit l.n prison. laughing brooks, our babies, bottomLess lakes, our needs, To live in harmony, our religion. The The Your descendants asked for refuge; we .now seek a place of. our own. !t is your way to . possess and ours is to gl ve. The Whi·'l:e Man counts his wealth, while the Red Man walks on it. You li•.re in wealth, and hop, we sink in poverty. But different as our values are, tile laws, of l:i.fa remain the There are no words, 011ly the feeling, to be Indian is to be alive - ~eeeive sustenance. All that is in rhythm with the earth is Indian, is to be Indian. You have asked ~e to teach you the way of the Indian. I ask you to sit by a quiet stream:.· We differ greatly in our values, but heathens we are not; in your religion you acknowledge the Holy Ghost, in ours t!he Great Spir:i. t prevails. You take of the flesh of God, we the gifts of Mother Earth. On the Sabbath you give thanks for all you received; for all that ··~e receiv<!ld, we give thanks. You pray for mercy. we for strength. same - "Justice for all; sow and you sha.ll reap; gi.ve and you shall receive; trust and you shall be rewarded. It has been told to us "To be white is rH''•t and to be black is beautiful". I will t~ i i. ' you now "To ht:• .red is to be real" and we will not disappear to satisfy you~ guilt.

During th.is same period, deaths due to g a s troenteric causes declined by 88% and that deaths from influenza and pneu - ' monia were reduced by 63%.

GRAND RAPIDS May 12 1 �Grand Rapids Press Tuesday, May 8, 1979 By Dave Burhenn In a landmark ruling, U.S •. Chief District Judge Noel P. fox has told the state of Michigan it has no power to regulate fishing in vast stretches of the Great Lakes by two bands of Indians. The ruling opens parts of the lakes to non-state-controlled commercial fjshing by members of the Bay Mills Indian Community and the Sault Ste. Marie band of Chippewa Indians. The judge issued his decision Tuesday in the hi.storic Indian fishing rights case. In a 131-page opinion, Fox ruled that the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has no authority to control commercial or subsistence fishing by Indians. Their Fishing rights, the judge ruled, are quaranteed by treaty and cannot be curtajled. The LinJ tee! States :i.nlt:;nded that the Michigan Indians be able to fish in ordt'r to maintain the1r l.i vel.:ihood 11 and way of life then and in the future, 1he rt.li.ng establishes ,~er.:tain 11 Fox stated. areas in which Indians may fish unrt~gulated by the state. {he <:;rea.s. wh5.ch contd.di some of the: best fishin9 in the Creat L..Jkes, are: •H·rhe M:i:;h.i~jiin (·lE--~Tl--ie l<lchi~F'tn ~'.:'" a'..~·.) pnrt.1.cr of Lak.:.

Marie. •1, 197~i, ? • co-plaintiffs. the Sault Ste. Made tribe of Chippewa Indians intervened in the suit and were included f' e ~io vernment and Indians alleged that ONR fishing requlati.on policies were :i.nterfering with :.ore than a century of treaty protections. '.ht' state contended that the tre<.tties dJd not protect fishing rights and had been amended oy la '.er agreements. li1e dispute also included the powerful tHohigar, Jni ted Conservation Clubs, a ~1roup of state '->Um: t:::;men opposed to unregulated commercJal fl shing. nw, MUCC unsuccessfully attempted to enter the case as co-defendants with the state, but :.owed the group to intervene as a "friend of the Court. 0 i~ox al- Severa l weeks of trial were held last year on the lawsuit, during which historians offered C•)n' U.ctlng interpretations of the bach:ground and fl.avor of 191:.h-century tr.eaty negotiations w1th U1e Ind l ans. Jn his opJnion, fox came down clearly on the side of tLe trtbes ruling that they had not si9ned lway their 12,000-year-old practice of fishing in the Creat Lakes. f o;;; wrote, ".,.simple just.i.ce requires that thi:.> court be9iri to put an end to the unfa.i rnes s wtttch has plugued the Indians in the.ir dealings with the white man from thelr first contact w:i.th .:ir:it and restore to the Indian that which by na ture f.$ his, and now by right also." i {1X bdsed his ruling p:r.incipally on treati.es: the 1814 Treaty of Ghent> which ended the War of fS;2 be.tween Great Britain and the United State!>, and the 1reaty of 1836, which ceded lndi.ln L.mds to the inf ant state of Michigan. T!lt.:: Judge wrote that in the Treaty of Ghentj the United States agreed to protect the rights of tndians who had been the allies of Britain during the war. ln the Treaty of 1836, Fox r·uled, Indians never gave aw.ay their 11 aborigina.l" right to fish J.n t:he lakes adjacent to the ceded lands. The judge al.so stated th;lt treaty must be interpreted :w a light favorable to the J~dians. r nx found that in the 19th-century Indians' lim:\ted under.standlng of the terms of the 1836 tnMty , they could hunt and fish "as long as the sun rose and the waters flowed." state had claimed Jn its defense that another treatyr signed in 1855, took away the fisning privileges. Fox wrote that the pact did nothinq of the kind. "The United States could no t be .:·!':leased from a right originating in the Indians which Jt never owned and could never give," the opinion stated. The In the decision,. wh.ich often reads like a M story te>:t~ Fox reserved heavy criti.cism for the 19th-century traders and Indian agents who negotiated the treaties. �11 tH.chigan 's foremost Indian agent, Henry Schoolcraft, Js called a subth~, invidious and ins.id· l0us negotiator" who relied upon 11 fraud and duress" in his deali.19s with the tribes. f o x wr ote that "judging irom tl1e amoun~. vf tern tory which they ceded to the United States and t.1''' paltry s-m which the:y received i n exch.-rnge 5 " Otta.wa <v·.d Chippew.:i Indian chiefs who signed the l ):::(; treaty were probabiy drunk uand di d '.lO t kn:.1w hhtt they we re cloinf;." fo x had kinder word5 for t he moder n federal qoverrnnent. 11 The p1·esent actinn, 11 r1e wrote of th ~ • 1\'/ J U:i t, "marks the first t.ime d1.fring the lony ht story of these Im.ii.an peoples that the United St tes has not been the opposing party 1 11 their e ffort to sccurt:o dght.s granted to them by solemn 11 t t' •..•.ties. :~o t ing \..he controversial ndture of the ruling, the judge wrote that if it. "seems to deprive toddy's non-Indians of privile9e whjch they thought was theirs, it only points up the great i njus tice which has been done to tredty Indians during the r11<1ny years they have been deprived of the i r full rights for. the sake of others without rights. 11 ®®~ THE GRAND RAPIDS PRESS [DJ.TORIAL PAGE Thursday, May 10, 1979 :IHDIANS AND FISHING To cries of doom that "the sky is falling!" and "the Hussians are coming! 11 can be added "the Indians are fishing!"

Eloise Montpetit On Thursday and Friday (May 10th and 11th), Shirley McDonald, Jean Warren and I {Eloise) , went to Detroit for an Outreach Training Wot'k.1hop sponsored by the Detroit Indian Center. We were on the road, sleepy-eyed and yawning at 4:45 A.M. Thursday. After a time of rid- ing through the pre-dawn darkness, I was lulled to sleep by the movement of the car and the songs from the radio . I awakened in full sunlight to find that we were parked in ? gas station lot, trying to figure out how to get to the Hotel Ponchartrain where we were to be staying. "Where are we?" I asked. We 1 re in Detroit! 11 r,horused Shirley and Jean. '1 the question was where in Detroit, and ~ to get to th<:: destined hotel. After much skillful maneurvering on the part of our driver, Jean Warrer., through the streets of doW11·town Detroit, and many mistaken turns later, Jean looked up and said, "There it is!"

Role-playing was done by members in the group where one person was the "client" and the other, the worker. Professional criticisms were offered by the two consultants in attendance and group criticism was encouraged. We were able to organize outreach services and community resources so as to document for ourselves and future outreach workers the systematic methods of performing outreach work. ~raining, Also present at this conference were two people from Michigan State University who are responsible for devising those blue forms with all the questions you are asked to fill out when you come into the center for assistance . The purpose of filling out these unpopular forms is to determine the needs wit~i~ our communicy so that we can plan for providing better services and adequately meet all our needs. We attended a total of sixteen hours intensive training within the two days, with much participation on our parts to contribute to the "group dynamic." I'd like also to mention the hospitality given ·to us and other visitors by the Detroit American Indian Center, who served us food at their Detroit center on Thursday evening and provided us with a mini pow wow. They took care to see that our room reservations were satisfactory, provided transportation with their cars and van, and generally helped to make us feel welc6me in their city. l\fter the conclusion of Friday's workshops, Jean, Shirley and I, along with some women from the Cleveland Center, toured Detroit. Six of' us women could be seen taking in the mid-afternoon sights of Detroit. Friendships, a s Jerome Warcloud asked in prayer earlier in the conference, were strengthened. We arrived back at the hotel to find Jerome patiently waiting for his staff to return. After saying our goodbyes, the Cleveland people piled into Jerome's Cherokee Chief vehicle ; Grand Rapid~> into Jean's car, and after a final wave thrOl.u the windows, we returned to our cities. We hope that what we learned throughout this conference will help us to work with you in the quality ways which you deserve when you enter the Council for outreach se rvi ces . Mee-gwetch, Eloise Montpetit **** **** **** **** It has been a good many years since I drop;v:. •. out of Ravenna High School in Ravenna, Mich-· igan and I suppose at that time, I didn't rea-· lize the importance of a high school diploma. Since then, I h.ave come to realize that i t is 'f.~!'l. important indeed, and not .only a_hi~ school diploma, but a college degree is a .....~ most essential if' one is to survive comfortably in this world. After my divorce, I was pushed out of the nest like a baby bird that does not knoi.; hrn,, to fly . Survival was the name of the game and I almost didn't! Having no working s kil.i ::. or experience, I soon realized that dropping out of high school so many years ago, was not one of my ;.riser decisions. I started taking classes through Wyoming .,c\1.roun:i ty Education and finally finished here 2 ;, the Indian Adult Learning Center and a.m p.r o'Jd to say that I will finally have my high e cho, ·l diploma.

Congress late in 1978 has been hailed as a. progres::.ivE~ step by Indian leaders and tribes. The act concerns Indian child welfare and attempts to correct a serious situation in wh:i.cb Indian child:cen are placed in foster home.s where the parents are non-In<hans, despite the fact that the tribes and the relatives of that child want. 5..t to be placed 1-Ji th Indian sponsocs. So many illegal and unethical incidents have occured that many states have a regular business going :i.n which non-Indian parents are vying for adoption of an Indian child. Other i.ncidents that have been reported include the forc.i.ble "adoption" of an Indi.an child by nonIndian parents 1 with t.he help and convenience of social welfare authorities. After a long time of lobbying for the bill, the act was finally passed and it is now hoped that the illegal situation will be corrected. However, it was not publicized, nor was l. t made known until former Senator James Abourezk r..:ductantly announced it, that the Mormon Gnurch was exef'!Pted from t.be provisions of the Indi.an Childre Welfare Act, We exempted it on purpos(~ and out of necessity.

It i.s the posi~ion of the M.i.chigar, Commission on Indian Affairs tr..:1.t the fishing d1sput :i.s a •natter of Federal and Tribal off:i.c:lals to deci.de because of the unique and long-establistwo r -:o. -lationship between the Federal Governm.ent and sovereign and indigenous tri.bew in North Aw,.,.,.i n Cur concern is the rapidly growing hatred being generated by those who feel they have their :.\, .rn terests to protect, while eroding the legal and social rights of Amer:\. can Inclians. The pain suffered by the Indian families either d.irect1y or indirectly involved in the ffohir.g dispute is unconsciousable. Indian people have had to suffer in almost total silence because the suffering prompted by r · cial hatred and discrimination does not sell; as well ;:w impending threats of resource dep:.. e tion, violence, and the final victory over Indian people. The facts of the racial strife have been 1:-ecognized by national periodicals across the na.tirx: , and of a few concerned citizens. My' own father, who does not own any f1.sning apparatus) has feared for the safety of his c::nd e ther Indian peoplers live<> because of vigilante groups moving unimpeded by local and state ' a· enforcement officials. These same groups have been monitored by Indians and others. Th<'" .,.. ,._ - lantes are using Citizen Band radios to direct their efforts against Indian fishermen. How long must Indian people suffer''! and fears'? How can the sit-uation be explained to alleviate their t-'cun Will this inflammatory rhetoric re1sult ln the death or maiming of a child or t<::.._, ; i: on eithe"r side? These questions have been put aside and have not been fully recogn:i.zed a s ·t.!',' najor product of the fishing dispute. The citizenry of Michigan can not afford to continue to allow the civil rights of its mernbc:r'; to be violated, nor can they allow the children to become pawns in the cowboy and Indian 2ar,,c. created by their parents.

FOSTER, Editor of TURTLE TALK GRAND RAPIDS INTER-TRIBAL COUNCIL ®®© 1 3 6 10 13 13 27 �MICHIGAN INDIAN CHILD WELFARE AGENCY * Providing programs for restructuring the fragmented family wherever possible. Aneen! * My name is Henry (Tic) Bush Jr. and I work as a trainee for the Michigan Indian Child welfare Agency (M.I.C.W.A.). I'd like to acquaint you, the Native Ainerican Community, with myself, my job, and the organization I work for. I want to familiarize you with the programs and services availible through M.I.C.W.A. and ask for your input so that together we might work for a better Native American community. * Providing a liason between Native American families and outside govmental agencies in the child welfare area. After glancing at the above, it might look like we are: (a) biting off more than we can ches, (b) duplicating already existing services, (c) adding to the confusion of the bureaucrac.,y 1 or M.I.C.W.A. was initiated in .January of 1978 to provide a Native American community component for the welfare of Na- . tive American children who are abused, neglected, or left adrift as a result of broken homes. Our purpose is to offer services of crlild welfare closer to the Native American comn1unity than the distant bureaucracies of the local and s ':ate governments. Our rational. is this; t-ie believe that our children are our future; that we as a Nata:vB American community have the prerE:quisites and per~onnel to care for our own. Indeed, the Indian Child We} fare Act of 197'7 addresses itself to these issues. We see M•..~ .C.W.A. as a positive step toward· self-determination and the management of our own welfare. {d ) all of the above. M. I. C. W. A. E>pecializes in delivering assistance in the child welfare area. It is not our intent to needlessly duplicate already existing services or infringe on the "turf11 of other agencies. Our services are largely advisory, and specifically limited to the Native Ameri.can child welfare area. Our objectives are to provide high quality assistance i.n r.he Indian child_welfare area, and to monitor those activities that inn uence the well beinz: of the }la r, i ve American child and hi.s family. The fragmentation of a Native American f'arnily, for whatever .reasons, have farreaching consequences beyond the per3onal trauma and tragedy of tts individual family member'::>. The chi.ldren are often emotionally d~maged, sometimes beyond repai_r, and their development into mature, u::,eful adults is seriously compromised. The parents are left with feelJ.ngs of 1oss and dJ.spair, and burdened with the stigma of being hopeless failures. This in itself is tragic. But the irreparable damage is suffered by the Native American community. The children of these broken hom~~s are often times placed in foster or adoptive homes far outside the NaUve American community and its influence. These Native American foster or adoptive cbi1 children grow up without the knowledge or familiarity of the Native American community and often times lose their M.I.C.W.A. addresses itself to these &rean: * Attending to the needs of Native . ·American children who are neglected, abused, or from broken homes. * Providing counseling for frag111ented families. * Ass:i.sting in the foster care or adoption process. * Seeking out and training Native American adults who want to be fos ... ter or adopt.ive parents. * Providing programs and preservation and maintainance of the family unit.

Please feel free to contact me and t~ll ~e about your concerns and problems . I 11 ao my best to get the information you wa.'1t. identity as Native Americans. These truly symbolize the "vanishing Amer1can 11 concept so often voiced in the , non-Indian community. If the Native Am#· erican community loses enough of its childr·en, then in time, that community will cease to exist. This is where M.I.C.W.A. steps in. chil~ren One of the priorities of the M.I.C . W.A. is to insure the welfare of the Native American children from a point within the Native American community. In seeking out and training foste1~ and adoptive parents, we can be certain that- the Native American child isn 1 t lost from the community. In.instances where the child is placed in a non-Indian home, our priorities are to insure that he maintains contact with the Native American communi ty. We seek to provide counseling to the parents of the broken homes, to restructure the family so that is remains a.viable segment of the community. We also offer information on topics which include, parenting, emotional development of children, extended family concepts, survival and coping skills, self identity C1Dd the child, and bridging the generat.wn gap, to name a few. Rather than attempting to formulate our own programs in some of the .above areas, we recognize that there are already existing programs in the community. In these instances our job wi.11 be to match up our client with the services or programs they need, and monitor their progress. Thus we see the importance of a good working relationship with the other agencies within our community. As a member of the Native American community in the Grand Rapids acea, I have a good working relationship and knowledge of the agencies here. I have also had the opportunity through various seminars and training sessions to learn about child Welfare. My agency has provided me with excellent training, and I can't help but be ever mindful of the sensitive and highly vulnerable quality of the human dignity of the people I work with. From t ime to time I hope to contribute articles dealing with some aspect of the I think you'll agree with me that our children are ou:.' future, and that their future is i .n our hands.

If you think I sound bitter it's because I'm damn bitter! The just:i.ce our Indian Elders received from the Grand Rapids Public Librar>y and from Judge George R. Cook in the Circuit Court on February 12, 1979 in Grand Rapids was, in my opinion, no d:i.fferent than Indians received during the treaty years in the 17 and 1800's. Our Indian Elders who so graciously consented to take part in the "Native American Oral History Project" were told by the library, right from the start of the taped interviews, that the library would copyright each tape in the name of the Elder(s} who gave the interview. They were also promised that they would have sole control over how any and all materials taken from the tapes was used and any and all materials taken from the tapes would also be copyrighted in the name of the Elders involved. Of course these promises were oral, but nevertheless positive promises. These promises weren't put into writing tho\.1'1'.h.until the project was well under way (February 1976), but as proof that the promises were made there was a check for about $270 taken from our very first funding. This check was made out to the lib- 5 �dated, and witnessed or it don't mean didrary by the city treasurer in May or June dley! White Judges don't consider spoken o~ ~976 to be kept in the libraries' adpromises as being meaningful! What a sick ministration office until the tapes and sad, white society we are forced to live in; transcripts were ready to be copyrighted. where spoken promises are meaningless! In the last funding received from the National Endowment for the Humanities there There is another lesson to be learned here was allocated $450 to be used to obtain too! The Indian Community of the City of copyrights in the names of the Elders Grand Rapids, Kent County and the State of who~e statements and stories were used in Michigan had better wake up to the power of boo1<lcts that were to be written from the of th~ ballot! Anyone who reads or sees taped interviews. So what happened? The the results of elections in this city and tapes and transcripts have not been copycounty can•t help but not.ice the small turn r:-gh~ed. The Elders never were asked perout of voters in all city and county elemi~sion to use their stories in the bookctions. The winners of these elections usl~;s. The most inexcusable treachery of uslly win by only a few hundred or thousand a..L.1. occurred, when in complete reversal votes.

"Hmm! Delicious! 11 excla:i.med Dora, sipping at her coffee. Heading back toward our hotel, Dora acquired a sudden desire for ice cream (wv were so relieved when she didn't order pickles on the side),, so we stopped at the J.P. Morgan Deli on the mall and picked up our dessert. Sitting on the mall benches savoring our goodies, a familiar figure approached us, red hair- flying in the breeze. It turned out to be Eloise Montpetit, so we invited her to join us since we hadn't had time for a really good chat since we'd been here. Eloise obliged and the four Musketeers, headed for our room at the St. John Niagara Hotel, after the ice cream party. We had some very good conversation. Some of it serious, and some of it rather light banter. All in all, it was a very enjoyable afternoon and I think Eloise learned a few new Indian words during oi..tr tete' a tete' • Kathy and I noddecl in ag- reement. We were seated in a booth, in the coffee shop across the street from our hotel, preparing ourselves for th~ . oig da.y ahead. The coffee did th~ tr:i.ck.

Walking along the pat"k 1 Eloise suddenly blurted out, "I've seen this place in a dream!" We implored her to tell us more. "T dreamed about this place, and we came up or: a restaurant here named FISHERWOJl.1AN AND FISHERWOMAN 1 S FRIENDS, Inside the restaurant I was at a table with people warm in atmosphere - and a deep bond between us. 11 F'ascinated,we continued our walk. Shortly thereafter, we came upon a restaurant. Eloise shouted, "That's it!" We looked, but the restaurant was not called FISHERWOMAN AND FISHERWOMAN 1 S FRIENDS. "But that's still it, 11 declared Elotsef Ascending the terrace toward the restaurant, what should we see, but a fountain made up of four fish, water streaming out of their mouths. No one needed to say anything. Silently, we all threw a coin into the fountain, made a wish and continued our journey. Since our arrival in Niagara Falls, this one particular thing held our interest. It could not help but attract our atten- satH.':f;r r-eady .for ta1;:e oft."

(Pant! Puff!) Feeli.ng a b:i..t triumphant, we finally marie it! Darkness was upon us as we entered a aoor at the base of this huge structure, Insl.Cle, we found three levels. The first level housed a merry-go-round with flick-ering lights and many booths w:Lth novelt.ic: to entertain you, much as you might find ;:,· a regular amusement park. The next two levels were more of the same. Catching Eloise's eye, was a booth wherein Madam rosa was ensconsed • Madam Hosa was a fer'" tune teller. However, at this point-we were really more interested in find:Lng place to eat. All that walking had given < us big appetites!!! We found a cozy littl• placE": called the Lady Bug. Eloise ordered a turkey sandwich and homemade mushroom soup (wbicb we all sampled and found ck Ucious). Kathy and Dora had roast beef' sandwiches (with red wine for Do:ra~ naturally) and I had a salami sandwicb.

We ttien founc'1 ourselves in front of a handwriting analysis booth, where.we flad our handwriting analyzed. What fun! We also wanted to go up in that glass elevator which takes you up 800 feet 1 out.side the needle, to the top of the Skylon where the restaurant revolves, but did not find ·it within our financial means. Extremely tired, we knew the journey back was inevitable, and exited the base of the Skylon at a different level than the one we came i.n on, so became confused about directions since the thing is round. We did not quite know in which direction to go - at first. Dora and Eloise headed in the dir•ection they thought was correct, but these two Ottawa Sisters (Kathy and I) 1-~ne\<1 they were wrong. We might have been confused at first, but ::oon figured it out and decided to go in the direction where we heard the roar.

Service Specialist NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION PROGRAM ®®® PUHPO~~E To be held August 18 & 19, 1979 The public is invited. There will be Dance Contests both traditional and fancy. weekend fee for. traders: $15.00 no electricity The $20.00 with electricity For more i nformation call Philip Chippewa and hi s phone number is (616 } 271 ..:.3544 @©® OF THE POWWOltl The powwow is the Indian'.:;; way of expressing visual lndianess. To t he observer this appea as ~mt.::~rtainment o:c theatr·L:s. The Peligi.ous overt.ones are not apparent and perhaps tr.ts one reason why U10 U • .S. Governmer:;t. has never tried to stop the powwow. Besides dancing an !:;1ngj_ng, one of the main purposes of the pO\.<WOli·i is to r enew old friendship::; and for new on DRUM The drl1rn is composed not only of the instrument but r..be head singer and a11 other singers feel they can qualify. Usually an Indian drum is considered 11 open 1; , that is t anyone may c snd s1.t in who reels qualified or has knowledge of Indian singing. A drum, on occasion, m be declared a 11 closed 11 drum and only those who have been invi ~ed may ;~~ng. In any case • .L i~ always proper to ask if one may sit in and the person to approach is usually the head s er. The importance of this pos.i tlon is to be observed at all tim...;s . .Indians regard the drum {instument) as the oldest thing he remember::; and it is looked upon something that has always been with him. The drum is considered to be grandmother and as ag,:d are to be looked upon with respect and dignity. Tl1ore shall be no profanity around '.::. drum and no person shall drink alcoholic beverages nor approach the drum if they have been drinking. Humility is a must. Any per.son who sits at the drum must feel :i.n his heart tha l1c is no better than any other person sitting around him. DANCE ARENA Dance arenas can be any open ground large enoueh to comfortable accomodate all the partici· pants and observers . The audience or observers may sit on lawn chai r s or bleachers if pro· videti, but must not sit on the benches pcovtdE~d for the dancers . Befoce any activities ha.; started, the dance <:trena has been "consecrated" for the duration of the powwow and organiz actl vi ties, including games foi~ the children, may be conducted within the dance arena. 1 It is the job of the Arena Director to see that all dancers are comfortable and that the s:Lngers and dancers have water and that their needs are fille d . He also has to obligation of maintaining the sanctity of the arena durj_ng the powwow period. He keeps the audience informed of the activities of the day. GIVE~AWAYS OR SPECIALS The giving of presents is a method of honoring individua1s or groups among the I ndian peop: The recognition is more important than the materlal value of the gift . The reasons for h:::' ing a give-away are many and varied. The process uGually requires a considerable amount c t1me and can become somewhat boring to an audience . The give-away is an extremely importa1 part of being Indian, and the entertainment of an audience is always secondary, therefore, a special or give-away must take priority over the wishes of an audtence. The honoring of friends and relatives is a very prominent part of the powwow and proper dtgnity must be ma: tained. As always, there are certain procedures which must be followed fol' both partici.pai and observers. When the song is sung and tne dance begins, observance must be maintained < to the leaders (a dancer must not infringe c,n the lineup of the leaders by puslaing in or d:mc:ing p2st the le&ders. ) The song is danced around the drum during the "tal.J. 0 of the soi ;-::.11 dancers face the drum and dance in place.

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< hatch our children.. From - BLACK ELK SPEAK: It was the Europeans that made Treaties upon the Land and forced Indians to accept them. 'rHE GRAND TRAVERSE BAND OF OTTAWA-CHIPPEWA INDIANS 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 Band of Ottawa/Chippewa Indians on the 12th and 13th of March. I hope to be doing this through your office, I hope you have space for me. Catherine C. Baldwin Membership Chairperson H.R. ftl, Box 123 Suttons Bay, MI. 49682 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. ROSS MORGAN Someone else has greed and thirst for water on Indian land. wmm 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. 7 �! ;·unds will be shared by members of the 1rie Band, Citizens Band, IJannahville J.2x.

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.

Gi t-ga-wa·-ba-min Na-gutch ! BOO-SHOO! The snow has finally started to fall. Many people have awaited for this season so long while others could do without it. Anyways, it's good to know that the 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.

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 <.::,:i;ain and then below them. The toy city C<: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. �It was a dampish Buffal:i that welcorn" •l But da1npi.sh only weatherwise 1 \;._>.~ us. cause there was an abundance of wa.rn tn at the airport terv-j_nal where we: were greeted by a welcoming committee of friendly ladies from the Niagara Fall.

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.

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 answered Little Deer 'and darted back off to the .forest a little wiser. ~®© THE STORY OF LITTLE DEER AND THE FLYING FLOWERS, WAS COLLABORATED ON BY TWO LOCAL NATIVE AMERICANS INDIAN CHILD WEL~~ 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>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.

The weekly ses~ions started in January and ended this month of April . The purpose of the sessions was to develop personal growth, communication skills, counseling process and ~ rai n ing in other skills to meet spec i~ l needs. We all feel the training was worthwhile and hope to meet periodically to review what was l earned or to seek help. i " • • ' 1"' "~ J ~.,' r. ·l c D o . . ~ s. 1 r:- 1 J) : r 0 c :,, n 1" Parent C&mmittee members have taken 'J11tr e ct c .1 ')t·p2v + .. , ,,. advant3ge of the help "The Bridge B<i?tween Two Worldsff has had to offer.

The Parent Committee has found the information and training that the Bridce Between Two Worlds had to offer was helpful. 3 �At this time the N.A.E.P. Staff and five Parent Committee members are looking forward to attending the Native American Critical Issues Conference in Lansing, Michigan. The workshops look very interesting. There was no special newsletter from the Native American Education Program for the month of April 1 due partly to the spring vacation. Hopefully, you did receive a flyer which announced the regular Parent Committee monthly meeting on April 12, 1978 at Straight School. The Parent Committee does meet monthly on· on the second Wednesday of each month. Everyone is invited to attend. The meetings are usually at the West Side Complex in the Multiouroose Room at 7:00 plm. You may ~xp~ct a newsletter from the program for the month of May. Since we did not take students for Career Day to Lansing, Michig2n, we <:1re in' the process of planning career dav for secondary students in in the Gr~nd Rapids Public Schools. The Career Day will be held on May 4, 1978 at Lexington School. Students are receiving more specific information through the Specialists. Planning meetings for the Native American summer program have started started. You can expect to be receiving information in the very near future. There have been special meetings on Friday mornings for the Specialists, primarily, to become more and more familiar with resource persons. The person responsible for these meetings is Shirley Collier from the Parent Program in the Grand Rapids Public Schools. She, herself, has given a number of helpful sessions, also. A lot of useful information has been given. 4 Many kinds of activities and plans are going on all the time. We are truly kept very busy. We are hnre -to help and if help or information is needed, do give us a call at 456-4226 or stop and see us at the West Side Complex at 215 Straight St. N.W.

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.

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. COURT8SY OF THE MICHIGAN !~DIAN ~©0 21 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.

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

Her next job was here who is responsible for that of receptionist here at the Council and then she moved into TURTLE TALK as Peterson - an individual so unique that it's going tobe difficult to put her on paper! Circulation Director. It may sound absurd to say that the Grand Rapids Inter- ies, and leprechauns, and that there is a certain lady the ma&ic ! ! ?

She arrived here as part of a .genie-kit, and pooofed out of a bottle!!! No, that•s not right - she drifted in on billowing gossamer clouds! Doggone? I guess that's not really the.way that it happened, either, but it sure seems like it! In actuality, I guess she just walked through the door, but then Joe Ann doesn't just walk through a door. She-swoops in, or floats in or something. At any rate, she's here, and she arrived here {amidst a fanfare of trumpets?) as part of the Council's Adult Education Program. September 1977 was the date, and I don't think the Council When has been the same since. she first started, her teaching duties consisted of typing and filing, then expanded to office proceeCiures 1 and soon sbe wi.11 until the age of 13. At that time, her family moved to Kalamazoo> and that is where she graduated from Central High School. Kalamazoo is also where she attended College. She did attend Michigan State breifly, but didn't like it, so then went to Kellogg Community College {kornflake U). Western Michigan was next, and that is where she received her B.3. in Education, majoring in Speech, History and English. She is currently working toward her Masters. Wtile at Westernt she worked on 43 plays 1 as constume assistant and make-up artist. In 28 of them, she performed. Since leaving College, she has done plays in Saginaw, Sister Lakes, Indianapolis, and Civic Theatre in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids as well aa Circle in the Park, here, and has done everything from Shakespeare to Neil Simon. Our lady from Never-NeverLand, says so.me of her favorite parts have been Maria (The Tw8lveth Night), Honeyt CWho 1 s a~raid of Virginia ~oolf), and Pegeen Mike (Playooy o~ tne Western World}, under thP direction of Vincent Dowling from Abbey Theatre of Dublin. s.be hcts a few special words to say about Sophocles' Oediput Rex be teaching use of office machines.

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

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, we~ll• have to go back to the b~ginning. Many impressive and informative co~ference 1 s on Indian Education ½ave taken place over the last ~( ~D 1 lndion Pecple. 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!!!!!
