In 1942 a Recognition School was established by the Navy at Ohio State University where the method of identification was developed. In 1943 the school was taken over by the US Navy. The importance of training in visual recognition of ships and aircraft became even more evident during World War II. Mistakes resulting in costly errors and loss of life led to an increased emphasis on recognition as a vital skill. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource United States.

He enlisted in the Navy when he was 17 years old (sometime in 1942). He received basic training at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois and was assigned to the USS Cincinnati (CL-6), a light cruiser. During his time aboard the Cincinnati he received training on the ship and stateside on how to aim and operate the ship's guns as well as went on patrols around the Caribbean Sea and near South America. In 1944 they escorted convoys to Belfast, Ireland in preparation for the Normandy Invasion. In late 1944 he was reassigned to a ship in the Pacific Theater, and in January 1945 they set sail. He was aboard that ship and participated in the pre-invasion bombardment of an island and assembled at Okinawa in preparation for the invasion of Japan.

Rhem Christ Community Church Spring Lake, Michigan Lent II, March 15, 1987 Transcription of the spoken sermon Now my soul is in turmoil, and what am I to say? “Father, save me from this hour?” No, it was for this that I came to this hour. Father, glorify Thy name… John 12: 27-28 Jesus' life has made its impact down through the centuries, and it's an amazing fact that he has changed the landscape of the world, given the limited years that he lived and the limited space that he ever occupied, the fact that he never wrote a book, he never led an army, he never really intended to found an institution, and yet the life of Jesus has so impacted the world that the world has never been the same. In our Lenten pilgrimage we are trying to find the contours of the life of Jesus in order that we might learn the contours of the life of a contemporary disciple. What does it mean today to follow Jesus? Next Sunday I will take that text from the first letter of Peter where we are encouraged to follow in his steps. He has given us an example that we should follow in his steps. To lay the groundwork for that, I want to say this morning that Jesus was what he was because of his intention at the very beginning of his life fully to follow the will of God. Jesus' obedience was intentional from the beginning. The Gospels were written after Easter, and because of that, they give us the impression that Jesus knew more than he knew, and understood more than he understood in the days of his flesh as he carried out his ministry leading up to his final crisis, crucifixion and resurrection. The Gospels, because they were written after the fact, after Easter, in the light of his victory, give us an impression that Jesus was more aware of what God was doing through him than I believe is justified. If we read the Gospels carefully, we will see that Jesus lived a genuinely human existence, one day at a time, having no clue as to the morrow, and what he understood about what was transpiring or what was building up in the future, he knew not because of some supernatural knowledge; he knew it because he was a sensitive human being that could see the outcome of the life he was living would end in the violence with © Grand Valley State University   �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 2   which his life finally ended. But, the magnificence of his life, the inspiring nature of the narrative of his days is the fact that Jesus with an early intention continued through to his death fully obedient to the will of God as he understood it. I want you to see this morning that it was a costly obedience, but an obedience that calls us, likewise, intentionally to follow the vision and the dream and our understanding of God's claim upon our lives. Jesus intended from the beginning fully to follow the will of God. In Matthew, Mark and Luke we have at the inauguration of Jesus' ministry, his baptism and then his temptation. You will find in the first three Gospels that those two events are back to back, and I think that you can reduce the temptations in the wilderness, which Jesus encountered immediately after his baptism and immediately prior to his ministry, to the temptations to become a kind of political messiah. The temptation to Jesus was to exercise his gifts and his charisma, whatever that may have been, in the cause of gaining worldly power, perhaps for noble ends, nonetheless, to carve out for himself a platform of power which would get him influence among the rank and file of humankind. Jesus said no to that temptation. John's Gospel does not record the temptation narrative for us. But in John's Gospel, it is very interesting that we get a clear idea that Jesus, from the beginning of his ministry, had an intention to live by a vision, that he was claimed by the Father and that he would follow the Father's will at any cost. In the second chapter of John's Gospel, his first miracle at the wedding of Cana, his mother came up to him and said, "Son, they're running out of wine," and he said, "Woman, don't bother me because my hour has not come." That is a characteristic note in John's Gospel. He doesn't give us the temptation narrative by which the other Gospel writers let us know from the very beginning Jesus wrestled with who he was to be and what God was calling him to be, but John does let us know that early on Jesus had a sense of who he was to be, and that his life was claimed in a very special way to work out the will of his father in the proclamation and bringing in of the kingdom of God, that is, the rule of God. So, he said to his mother, "My hour has not yet come." If you go on to the seventh chapter of John's Gospel, you will find them saying to him, "Are you going to go up to the Feast in Jerusalem? If you're doing all of these things, don't do them in secret. Go and do them in the public arena." Jesus reponded to them once again, "My time has not yet come." Jesus had a sense of being on a mission. He was living by a vision. He was consciously claimed by the Father, and he was moving deliberately to allow the Father's will to be worked out in his life, but he did not precipitate the action; he did not take matters into his own hands. He simply continued day by day, week by week, month by month to teach and to preach, to heal and to be a sign of the rule of God that had now come into the arena of human history. © Grand Valley State University �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 3   And then, one day Andrew came to him, because Phillip had come to Andrew, because some Greeks had come to Phillip. Phillip's name is Greek, and he spoke Greek. Some Greeks were in Jerusalem for the Passover. They had come to Phillip and they had said, "Sir, we would like to see Jesus." And Phillip got Andrew and Andrew went to Jesus and he said, "There are some people that want to see you. Some Greeks." It's as though that triggered in Jesus the recognition that the time was coming now when the kingdom of God would break out of the limits of Israel and be for all people. The coming of the Greeks seemed to trigger in Jesus' mind the recognition that now events were ready to break out on a wider front. And so, in the 23rd verse of John, chapter 12, Jesus said, "The hour has come." Jesus said, "The hour has come for the son of man to be glorified." And then he goes on to speak that parable that said unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone, and so forth. There are Bible scholars who study the passage who believe that perhaps originally verse 23 was followed immediately by verse 27, and it makes good sense. Let me read it for you. Then Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the son of man to be glorified. Now my soul is in turmoil, and what am I to say? ‘Father, save me from this hour?’ No, it was for this that I came to this hour. Father, glorify Thy name. The in-between verses are probably a commentary on what this meant for Jesus to come to this hour, but it's very possible that originally he said, "Now is the hour. Now my soul is in turmoil. What shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, for this hour came I forth. Father, glorify Thy name." The hour had not come at Cana of Galilee. The hour had not come when the Feast of Tabernacles was held at Jerusalem early on. But, when the Greeks made inquiry, something triggered in Jesus, and he said, "Now is the hour." And when he recognized that the hour was here, he received that recognition with fear and trembling. Again, John does not tell us about the agony of Gethsemane which we read in Matthew, Mark and Luke. John doesn't tell us about that anguished prayer, "Father, if it be possible to remove this cup from me..." But, John gives a hint of the very same kind of anguish in this context where Jesus recognizes now that things are to the boiling point, and he approaches that moment with turmoil of soul. The word behind turmoil is a word that speaks of distress, of a wrenching of the soul, and in that agony, Jesus had to say, "Now will I cop out? Now will I seek to be spared from the moment? No, no. This is what it's been about. This is why I came. Father, glorify Thy name!" That obedience which culminated in the agony of Gethsemane where he continued to struggle and anguish and pray, but said, "Thy will be done," culminated in the cross where, in the midst of the darkness, he cried out, "My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" That intention to obey enabled him © Grand Valley State University �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 4   to stay the course and through fear and trembling, with the agony and anguish and tears, fully to follow the will of God. And I submit to you that that was costly obedience, but that it was in such costly obedience that Jesus not only was true to God, but because he was true to God, was true to himself and thereby has become such a magnificent model in the midst of our own human struggles. Jesus rightly has caught the fascination of the world. When you think of Jesus, you must be impressed with the power with which he persevered in the mastery of his own life. A self-mastery that was a consequence of being mastered by God. As I deal with people, and as I reflect on my own life, the time that we're most disgusted with ourselves is when we sell ourselves short. The time that we have the lowest self-esteem and sense of self-worth, the time that we really put ourselves down is the time when we have failed to be true to ourselves, failed to be true to the person that we believe God calls us to be. And Jesus is such an inspiring person because he lived with that self-mastery that enabled him to be a totally free human being in an age much as ours that was always trying to press him into another mold. Jesus didn't fit anywhere. He didn't fit with the establishment, the Sadducees from whom the High Priests and Chief Priests came. They were collaborators with the occupying Roman power. Now, a Sadducee could come here this morning and could make a good case for collaboration. A Sadducee could stand before us this morning and suggest that there would be no bloodshed, that there would be the preservation of the Temple, and the tradition of the fathers, and there would be a certain tranquility in society if only that independent, rambunctious Jewish spirit would rest and simply cooperate with Roman intention. Some of us are collaborators. I think I probably would have joined the Sadducees. I think I probably would have rationalized away the radical claims of Jesus by saying, "Look, it's only reasonable, it makes sense simply to play ball. There is a gray area in which one could cooperate without really betraying oneself." Not Jesus. Jesus had a sense that in him God was calling for a radical decision, and he refused to play ball with the established religious authority, and he became a terrible threat to those who were in power, for the thing that they were interested in more than anything else was the status quo that would enable them to maintain their relatively good position in that society. Jesus didn't fit. But he didn't fit with the Zealots, either. There was a Zealot party. They were the radical revolutionaries. If the Sadducees were far to the right, in their conservatism, the Zealots were far to the extreme left in their zealotry. They wanted to foster an armed rebellion against the Roman power; they were all fire in their eyes and in their hearts, and there was a time when they saw the tremendous gifts of Jesus as being the possible key to leading the popular revolt that would finally throw off the Roman power. Jesus said to them, "Look, the © Grand Valley State University �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 5   problem is not Rome. The problem is not some external authority. The problem is that you are a slave to your own soul. You are not free inside. Real freedom cannot come through some form of political liberation. Real freedom is a spiritual matter, a decision of the heart." And maybe Judas, who was probably a member of that band, finally betrayed Jesus because Jesus refused to lead the popular rebellion. He didn't fit with the monastic communities of the day. We know now that out in the wilderness there were monastic communities, the Essene community, for example, that were very meticulous in the keeping of the law and the rule of holiness. Jesus didn't leave society, he didn't repudiate the world, and he didn't withdraw and pursue an inner spiritual retreat, which let the world go on its way without involvement. Jesus was not a spiritual pietist that gave up on the world. I suppose he would have granted that it was all right for those who felt called to be such, but not for him. And he, of course, was not one of the Pharisees who made an accommodation with the world, who tried to live according to the law, a legalism in the midst of a society that they wrote off with their superior self-righteousness over against the masses. Jesus opened his heart and his arms to all kinds of people. He was not afraid of being tainted by his contact with the ordinary person. He didn't fit anywhere, not with the Sadducees, nor with the Pharisees, nor with the Essenes, nor with the Zealots. There was that in Jesus that offended everybody. He didn't toe any party line. He would not line up with any ideological position. What magnificent freedom – living by a vision that was his vision, living before the face of God, freely offering obedience as he understood the will of God. What power! What freedom! Jesus ended up on a cross, but he didn't lose his soul. Jesus ended up crucified, but he never had those dismal days like you and I do when we fail to live according to our best selves, and our highest vision. He, from the beginning, had an intention fully to follow the will of God, and it got him through the days of his ministry through the conflict and the struggle of those days, and when he came to the crisis, he didn't collapse, but he maintained that posture. It was a costly obedience, for it cost him his life, because he had no political action group, he had no lobby which could go to the powers that be to get him off the hook. It cost him his life, but he never lost his life. He died, but he never lost his soul. Isn't he inspiring? Isn't that magnificent? There was a person born in the early part of the century in France by the name of André Trocmé. Trocmé was born into a rather well to do family and had a very privileged childhood. Early on his mother was killed in an auto accident, and he lived in a French Huguenot, French Reformed home in which his father's spirituality was very quiet. But there was so much feeling in André that he could © Grand Valley State University �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 6   never really let loose until he joined a youth organization in France in his village, in which he was exposed to a very personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and in that experience came himself to a very personal relationship. As a young man, he began to be shaped by the vision of Jesus. One day, during the First World War, his village being occupied by German soldiers, a German soldier said to him, "Would you like some bread? Are you hungry?" He said, "No, I'm not hungry, and if I were, I wouldn't take bread from you because you are the enemy." And the soldier said to him, "No, I'm not the enemy. You don't understand who I am. I'm a Christian." And André said to him, "My brother is fighting in the war, and you would kill my brother." He said, "No, I would not kill your brother." André, said, "But you're a soldier." He said, "Yes, but I don't carry a gun. They allow me, as a telegraph officer, to do my duty without carrying a gun because Jesus has said that I must not kill." The genuineness of this German soldier so impressed André that he took him to his youth organization where the German soldier shared his witness for Jesus. That witness of that German soldier made such a deep impression on him, the German soldier having come to his conviction because of his relationship to Jesus Christ, that André could never get that out of his mind and it started him on the road to pacifism. Eventually, Trocmé became a pastor in a rather poor French village. He was leading a men's Bible study group one day and he found himself saying, without having thought ahead of time about saying it, "If Jesus really walked upon this earth, why do we keep treating him as if he were a disembodied, impossible, idealistic, ethical theory? If he was a real man, then the Sermon on the Mount was made for people on this earth and, if he existed, God has shown us in flesh and blood what goodness is for flesh and blood people." There were about ten men there, and they heard him say this, and it was like the spirit of God illumined those words. They all fell to their knees and asked God to enable them to emulate Jesus, and that was the beginning of what was an awakening, a spiritual awakening in the whole area. André Trocmé eventually became the French Huguenot pastor in a little village in Southern France, Le Chambon. During the Second World War, he led his whole village to become a refuge for refugees, especially Jews fleeing the Nazi power. The thing that stirred and triggered and empowered the life and the vision of Trocmé was his determination early on in his life not to be separated from Jesus. What this meant to him was that God had shown mankind how precious man was to him by taking the form of a human being and coming down to help human beings find their deepest happiness. Trocmé believed also that Jesus had demonstrated that love for mankind by dying for us on the cross and if these beliefs sounded too mysterious, he knew that Jesus had himself refused to do violence to mankind, refused to harm the enemies of his precious existence as a human being. In short, Jesus was for Trocmé the embodied forgiveness of sin and staying close to Jesus © Grand Valley State University �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 7   meant always being ready to forgive your enemies instead of torturing and killing them. Trocmé led the village of Le Chambon, first of all, to a passive resistance to the French Vichy government that was the puppet of Nazi power. But then the day came when they finally had to take their stand, and it came when an official of the Vichy government came to visit the village in order to celebrate Vichy France, the Nazi-dominated France at that time. Some students of Trocmé's school gave the official a statement which said, "We have heard what happened in Parish where 28,000 Jews have just been rounded up and deported and sent to their deaths, and we want you to know now if you ever come here and ask us to reveal the presence of Jewish people in our midst, we will refuse." And, of course, the official reacted strongly, finally threatening Trocmé, saying, "If we don't get the Jews, we'll get you." It's a marvelous story recorded in the book, Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed, by Phillip Hallie. It's a story of how one person was impacted by a vision of Jesus and determined to live his life according to that vision, and who had a very fruitful ministry. During the years '40 to '44, he led a village of 3,000 to save the lives of 6,000 men, women and children. I am sure that it is only in the concrete living of life that we can see the outworking of good and evil. We keep telling the story of Jesus because Jesus inspires us to follow in an obedience like his. And I would simply say in closing that each one of us must determine what Jesus is calling him or her to be. My vision and your vision need not be the same. I'm not at all convinced that we are all called to respond in the same way. I am convinced of this - that to the extent that one is captivated by Jesus, that will stamp one's character, and then, it is the challenge of one's life to live out of that vision. It'll never happen, unless it is one's own vision. You cannot take this from my lips and simply adapt it to your life. You cannot do something as an external norm pressed upon you from the outside. We could argue about all these things; we could debate about Trocmé's philosophy, the philosophical and theological ideas expressed. People have debated these issues down through the centuries, but that is simply to create a smokescreen. When one is captivated by the vision, then if one follows the vision, one may lose one's life, but one will not betray one's soul. Jesus fully followed the will of God, and he got a cross. So to live is not to ensure success, not to guarantee security, not necessarily to come into a tranquil and serene life. But so to live, is to live nobly, so to live is to live heroically; so to live is to live humanly. Jesus never faltered, in spite of the turmoil and the wrenching of soul. He fully followed the will of God. It was a costly obedience. And he died without a clue. He trusted God in the darkness of death as he had followed him in the days of his life, but you and I know that the darkness of Good Friday was dispersed by the © Grand Valley State University �Costly Obedience Richard A. Rhem Page 8   light of Easter Sunday, and that when one is faithful within history, the God beyond history will give His "Yes" and vindicate such a life. Jesus calls us to find that vision which is really our own, and then to be true to ourselves in the living out of our life before the face of God. That really is living so far beyond the shabbiness and the shoddiness of so much of our discipleship. Jesus – inspiring model of obedience! Reference: Phillip Hallie.

Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Ever since the early non-Indian settlers of Grand Rapids realized these unusual, and spectacular mounds of earth were the last visage of an earlier civilization they provided an intriguing interest. But unfortunately not for everyone, since as the city grew, those (some 40 mounds) on the near west side of the city were totally leveled, while the Norton group, two miles south of downtown Grand Rapids, along the Grand River, managed to survive, in part, the expansion of commercialism. The story of the efforts of several people and organizations, since the 1940' s to preserve this important historical site and promote the plans for their final preservation will be the subject of our speaker, who has identified with that cause for the past two decades.

Lodge Chief Ike Peters, a very close friend of Tom was able to make it down to Harrison, Ohio, (near Cincinnati) in time, by one day, to bid his old friend a painful farewell. Tom was a well known "Indian-Trader" who was well known around the Pow-wow circuit. His last visit to Grand Valley Pow-wow was three years ago, and just before he took ill. Thanks to Tom, the most outstanding Quill Box in this Editor's exhibit was made possible through the generosity of Tom Bell.

WEST SIDE COMPLEX ****POTLUCK SUPPER**** PROGRAM: After feasting together, we will have our craft contest and Angie Francisco is going to demonstrate how to make cornhusk dolls. THOUGHTS ABOUT ANISHINABE FEAST: Generally, Anishinabe people take great pleasure in gathering with one another, friends and supporters. We love to share food and conversation. What is special and unique about our feast is its meaning goes beyond simply eating together and enjoying others company. Many of us understand that feasting is also a means to honor and share with our ancestors, and express our gratitude to Gitchie Manito, Mother Earth, and honor the spirits of all that lives and grows for providing what we need. One can take pride in taking part in such an ancient and meaningful ritual. �Page 2 BOARD MEETING NEWS: **** Due to the resignation of Ed Gillis, the lodge is still looking for a new editor of the news letter.

Just in time for the spring road kill season, the state Natural Resources Commission is tightening regulations on what critters you can scrape off the road. At its monthly meeting next week, the commission will review regulations governing the possession and disposal of wild animals killed on state roadways, said Department of Natural Resources Lt. Dave Purol. The amendments to the Wildlife Conservation Act Commission Order mainly clarify rules about game birds and mammals. "That's been a fuzzy area of the law," Purol said. "These regulations are an attempt to clarify the rules so the public knows exactly what's legal. Endangered species, such as wolves, lynxes, and bald eagles: migratory game birds, such as geese and ducks, and non-game birds, such as hawks and robins, can can only be picked up by a scientific or educational institution with a federal and state permit, he said. Game birds and other mammals may be picked in season by someone with the appropriate hunting license. Animals will be counted towards that persons hunting limit. Moose and elk cannot be picked up, Purol said. But deer and bears can ·after a conservation officer or a local police officer issues a permit. Purol said because deer and bear can be eaten, the DNR encourages people to use the carcasses. While it may seem odd to regulate what's done with road-killed animals, the rules are intended to deter poachers, who may claim their illegal bounty is road kill. The regulations, which the commission is expected to approve in April, will take effect June 1. Violation is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail, a $500 fine and reimbursement to the state of up to $1,500. Possession of an endangered species carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $1,000. fine as well as restitution. Local police and conservation officers will enforce the regulations. (Article was slightly shortened), *NOTE* Many Anishinabe pick up road kill for the fur, feathers, or meat. The access to road kill helps us to maintain our traditional ways from outfits to spirituality. If you have a problem with these regulations, please write to the DNR.

Were we to have participated in next years event it would have been our 15th consecutive year: And so ends an era of Lodge history and achievements that became a way of life for the Lodge and many of its people. Although a number of our members have been advocating that we discontinue our annual participation in this major Lodge fund raising event, due to the perpetual difficulty of getting enough workers, there were still a number of members who favored the annual "blood-letting." Understandably, fearful of change and the uncertainties that a severe reduction in income might even start the Lodge into oblivion. "CHANGE", will therefore be the important format of the December meeting and what the Council needs at this time are practical ideas and suggestions for the Council to evaluate, consider and decide upon. Finally, so that we can plan "with both feet on the ground," so to speak, there is absolutely no need for panic measures since our present financial position at the current level of expenditures is good for at least three years without any new income. *· �I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 11 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ID ID DI I I I I I I I ID ID I 11111 I 111 I I I a 11 I a a 11 a 11 a I I a I I 1111 PAGE 19 DECEMBER 1987 VO L. 19 , NO . 3 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111aa1111111aaa1aa111a111 THE PROGRAM this evening will be very informal .

Grand-Entry being a pretty good rule of thumb indicator, it took the more than three hundred fully costumed men, women and children dancers about an hour to dance into the arena and circle it twice. Al though I failed to note the exact number of drums there appeared to be about (10) groups. Some of our local Two Hawk Singers were represented. Eddie Benton Benai, of Toronto, Ontario, was there with his Three Fire Singers. Unofficially, with a Chicago area Indian population of some 20,000 Native Americans representing just about every major tribe in North America, is a good reason why the Chicago Pow-Wow is so well attended. Although my visit was only for one day, (Sun), it more than fulfilled my full expectations for excitement, fantastic costumes, beautiful dancing, singing, "window-shopping" some 50 to 60 Traders, and of course meeting a lot of friends and making new ones too. Incidently, Navy Pier, as far as indoor arenas go, is surely one beautiful place for a Pow-Wow. The arena must be some 300 feet in diameter. The traders are located on a surrounding mezzanine balcony over-looking the dance arena. The whole area being large enough to accommodate a huge crowd so it didn't appear overly crowded al tho there were many people. If you love Pow-Wow' s, you owe it to yourself to visit the next Chicago Pow-Wow for a visit you will long remember because you see things you just don't see at our much smaller Michigan Pow-Wows. Finally, I am grateful to Paul Walters and his nice mother "Josie" with whom I made the Chicago visit -- Megwetch to them: Also, altho I took some (72) color shots for my personal file, I selected only (8) to share with our readers. In group I, there are (3) dancers with painted faces that I thought were unusually interesting. And in the same group is a shot of Amos Key, with that fantastic swing-fan bustle. Amos is a Chippewa, and a championship dancer. In group II, is a lovely Choctaw lady, a Winnebago basket stand and a picture each of TOM PETERS and his lovely wife BEA. Bo th are very talented tradi tionals in ceremonial and Pow-Wow activities. They live in Lansing, Michigan.

Tom Bell is a well known mid-west Trader who has been on the Pow-Wow circuit many years. At Ike's invitation Tom first came to our Pow-Wow some 4 or 5 years ago and became a Lodge member soon after. The large Quill-Box in my Indian Arts exhibit came there by way of Tom's most considerate generosity in selling it to me for a fraction of its current market value because as Tom said to me at that time -- "I just feel it belongs in an exhibit where others can see and appreciate this beautiful example of Indian Art and not hid away in someone closet!" If a miracle could make Tom well, then I surely join Ike and his many other friends in praying for that miracle -- Get Well Tom! * * * * * * UNITED STATES OF AMERICA VS. BAY MILLS INDIAN COMMUNITY; SAULT STE.

Hillman. Briefs were filed by U.S. Attorney's charging the five Indian groups with operating Casinos and considered illegal by the State of Michigan. All five Indian groups were represented by their attorney's who argued the basis for Casino legality as they see it through one selected spokesperson who presented his lengthy brief. Unable to stay for the entire hearing, I contacted Judge Hillman' s Court at this writing and learned that the Judge requested more time to evaluate the briefs and that another Court date would be announced. * ** * * * * * * * * * BOZHO! (HELLO) & WELCOME NEW MEMBERS -- and some of you who by this late greeting are almost "old friends" already since we' re going back in our records to mid-summer.

And we think of those who were severely ill and recovered; and we think of the members who made distant trips and returned safely; and we think of the good feelings most people have toward our Lodg.e and its members; and we think of the future for the Lodge with . the knowledge and strength gained through our past 26 years -- Yes, I think we are in pretty good shape and a confident and healthy outlook toward our future~ We are mindful too, that for many this is a specially joyous season and a time when many of us assert our religious convictions, and a time to pause and count our friends and let them know you are their friend. And in that vain we too wish all of our readers a happy holiday season whatever your personal religious views maybe -- MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. Finally, with another issue behind me. (I sure like that word "finally"). I can start thinking about the next one, but not before -- and as always, may Grandfather (really) be in your though ts and ways ( try it, it feels good) towards one another and with a special prayer for my friend Tom Bell.

So please bring enough food so we can declare it a respectable feast! Also please bring your own table service and the Lodge will see to the punch and coffee. * PROGRAM A LOOK AT YOUR LODGE'S HISTORY through experiences, records and photos compiled by this Editor over the past (30) year history and is the only surviving member of the founding group still active in Lodge affairs. A Lodge history that has spanned many years of local, regional and state involvement in Indian affairs and has seen many changes affecting Native American people. Although many changes have taken place, the Lodge still finds it un-endingly important as ever to pursue its founding precepts- to define, clarify, defend and promote Native American Culture from the ever present greed that would profit from a continued defamation of a proud culture. Come and share in the pride of a proud organization. * BUSINESS MEETING. A short business meeting will follow the program and everyone is welcome to stay. *** *** �••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PAGE 22 DECEMBER 1990 VOL. 22, NO. 3 "BR OTHER HELPS BR OTHER!" One frequently hears Indian people refer to other members of their own culture as "brothers" or "sisters." Recently one actually un-related brother helped another"brother," and the story is worth the telling. Last February (1990), a local well known Indian Sam Shenoskey, (A Burt Lake Band Odawa) was shot through the shoulder in a local bar. Sam had a reputation as a kind, gentle and mind-his-own-business kind of guy. He was known to just quietly sit at a bar and have his beer. He never bothered anyone, a most likeable kind of guy. An assailant, (later arrested), for absolutely no reason and without any provocation shot Sam! Sam recently mentioned to a friend, a fellow Odawa, Bill Dunlop, that he just didn't know how he was ever going to pay the hospital expenses from the shooting that amounted to $1,100.00. When brother Dunlop heard the story he was sure Sam could not be held personally responsible for the unprovoked assault in a bar. Bill made an appointment with a local attorney who was able to resolve the matter by securing the necessary money from the State Crime Victim's Fund and cover all expenses. So there you have it - brother helps brother, Megwetch Bill Dunlop for your brotherly concern. * * * * * * LODGE ANNUAL CHILDREN XMAS PARTY (See photos next two pages) Once again, a well put together Children's Christmas party pleased a lot of children, their parents and or chaperones. Star performer and funmaker, Bozo the Clown, did a really great job of keeping the children upbeat and beautifully entertained. Watching this local, long-time entertainer work his magic with children was equally entertaining for adults as well. Once again too, the much talented face-painters Genevieve Shirley and Carol Dutmers showed off their special face-painting skills much to the delighted children who sported cute little Santas and Christmas trees on their cheeks and hands. Another "kids-involved-project," was cut and pasting things with Santa's helpers Dana Finfrock and Shocko Hall helping to help the kids have fun. Last, but never least, was good-ale Saint Nick himself (Harold Johnson, Connie Reterstorf's dad), always so much loved by the kids and as always too, a highlight of any Christmas party! Seeing the kids smiles and believing expressions made the whole party so very worthwhile. All of which must have made Daisy Counzelman' s "Spirit-presence" especially very, very happy. Not to be forgotten were oodles and oodles of cookies, candy, ice cream, punch, coloring book gifts and finally each child received a crisp, brand-new one dollar bill! As with all special events they just don't happen by themselves. This year thanks to Lodge secretary and Christmas Party Chairwoman Lue Anne Bush and her committee consisting of Anita Smith, Valerie Gibbs, Debbie Jesiek, Judy Purdy, Barb Seifried, Garth Butler and several others who contributed cookies and a helping hand! Megwetch to all. * * * * * * HAVE YOU PAID YOUR 1990 LODGE DUES? The $10.00 annual fee is always due between October 1, 1990 and December 31, 1990.

For Louella, of Dacotah descent, and who incidentally emphasized proudly, "I am Dacotah, not Lakota" and who now lives in Minneapolis Minnesota, it could well be called a miracle! As an attractive young woman of just (20) I 'fl . years of age and a whole promising life ahead of her, she became seriously afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis and its horribly crippling invasion of her young body. For the next (33) years she would spend more time each year in a hospital than out of the hospital. As crippling progressed, major organs began to deteriorate and her weight slowly dropped to under (90) pounds. Since accepting the faith of the Native American Church of the Morning Star seven years ago, Louella, who is now (60) years old, has never felt better, mentally and physically since her affliction started. Although the permanent crippling has not regressed, her appetite has returned and she now weighs 120 lbs. Best of all, she no longer spends any more time in hospitals and feels much better, and a lot happier. She said to me, "our 'sacraments,' (Peyote), is a sacred medicine indeed!" In talking to Louella, one can't help but be inspired by the faith ofthis fragile woman, her courage and her inspired outlook. She seems to hold no bitterness for a wasted life through illness, but is sweet, loving and so pleasant to How YOU CHOOSE TO WORSHIP JS BETWEEN talk to. Too, we imagine she draws much GRANDFATHER AND YOURSELF peace of mind and strength from the ways of her people, who in their Indian-way of caring for one another gives one inspiration. The family never seems to find caring for her and taking her wherever they go, in spite of the wheelchair, as no bother at all. Finally in sharing this small human interest story with our readers, we seek not to "evangelize" or convert anyone, what or how anyone chooses to believe or how to worship is positively a very personal matter. We do however, find it a beautiful cultural example of the more traditional "extended-family," as opposed to the nonIndian nuclear-family way of caring and worshiping. And as an example of an Indian religion that is over 2,500 years old - a religion that is still able to fulfill the needs of many Native American people today. How beautiful that this frail little Dacotah woman, Louella De-La-Paz, finds faith in the old ways so rewarding and soul satisfying. May Grandfather ever be bright in her heart, soul and eyes. i *** *** ' �••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PAGE 26 DECEMBER 1990 VOL. 22, NO. 3 LODGE GENERAL MEETING SCHEDULE October 1990 through September 1991 Kind of Date Refreshment Time Agenda and/or Program Oct. 6, 1990 Pot-Luck 6:30PM Annual Elections & Business Meeting Nov. 3, 1990 Pot-Luck 6:30PM Annual Ghost Supper and Dance Dec. 3, 1990 Xmas Party 2:00PM Annual Children's Christmas Party Jan. 5, 1991 Pot-Luck 6:30PM Program Lodge History & Slide Show Feb.2, 1991 Coffee/freats 7:30PM Program Wag Wheeler on G.R.I.T.C.

How can I possibly top the many Native American authorities who say it is a a monumental work! And some have said, it finally puts the John Wayne syndrome type Indian movies of super always right white-man against the always conniving, treacherous bad Indian finally to rest. Equally interesting, is a general consensus among non-Indians who rate Dances With Wolves as a Masterpiece in authentic and factual representations that for once, too, used Indians to tell a believable IndianWhite story. Being a most infrequent movie goer, I must confess I resisted going at first due to the advertised fact that the show was 3 hours long (without intermission). But it turns out, because it was an easy to believe story, honestly told, a narrative that developed logically showing both good and bad and with happy and sad sequels - gory and beautiful and finally all placed in the beautiful hill and plains country of the Lakotas-the 3-hours slipped by only too soon. And incidentally, the wide-screen photography was indeed superb as were the authenticity oflndian cultural settings, objects and regalia. All this easily combined to put the viewer vicariously directly into the drama, not as a viewer, but more like a participant.

Whether you have any special interest in Indian affairs, are historically oriented or not about Indian-White relations, or just interested in an above average show, please don't miss this opportunity to see this special movie. It is currently playing at Studio-28 on 28th Street in Wyoming, MI. Afternoon matinee for adults is only $3.25. Lodge members should not fail to see "truth in Indian history," as something we have been promoting all these years. Seems like truth always takes so very long to eventually surface. We say MEGWETCH to Kevin Costner for his superb characterization and starring role as a white-man turned Lakota, and as the film's Director. And too, we salute the many Native Americans who played the part of Native Americans so realistically and beautifully because-yah,you guessed it, they were Native Americans! And so, you didn't hear any "Ugh me Tonto" or Ugh me heap big Chief." These non-Hollywood Indians only spoke pure Lakota.

According to an informal discussion with Joe John a 7-1/2 foot bronze statue is being planned for "Ah-Nab-Awen" Park, on the west bank of the Grand River, in downtown Grand Rapids. Initially, Joe John and Ron Yob were discussing a more substantial marker for the park (also where the President Ford Museum is located) and their talks eventually developed instead to a statue of an Indian for the park. From that point on a committee was formed consisting of as follows: Joe John (Ottawa) Frank Bush (Potawatomi) Simon Francis (Chippewa) Each man being a member of one of the three historic tribes who were part of an earlier alliance known as the "People of the Three Fires" - Ottawa (Odawa), Chippewa,(Ojibway) and Potawatomi. 11 AH-NAB-AWEN 11 PARK - LOOKING SOUTH AT FACSIMILES OF JUST HOPEWELL INDIAN MOUNDS, LEVELED IN THE (3) OF THE (40) 1850's "Ah-Nab-Awen" in Ottawa means "Resting Place" and occupies part of where an Ottawa Indian village once was, although a little further west than the present park location. The village location took advantage of the annual sturgeon runs up the rapids of the Grand, (0-Wash-Ta-Nong), that extended from about Leonard street bridge down stream, about one mile or so to Fulton street bridge. We understand too, that work has progressed to the extent where an already retained sculptor has produced a scale sized wax model which the committee rejected because the Indian depicted looked "too western." The artist agreed to modify the small model for subsequent approval. The completed statue will set upon a substantial pedestal to deter damage by climbers. Although we don't know who is funding the project, it appears to be in place since the artist and preliminary modeling has begun. �+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VOL. 22, NO. 3 DECEMBER 1990 PAGE 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Finally to the best of our knowledge, when completed, the statue will be the first one of a Native American anywhere in the Metro Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

Another very talented artist was Rex Begaye (Navajo) who was born and raised on the Navajo reservation " ... the beauty and unique style of his paintings and symbolic of his heritage, Rex captures the ideas and dreams of his people .... " Jim Pego's "PALE-MOON" sculptured in stone, was available for $2,900. Kachinas displaying exquisite detail ranged in price from a piece by Joyce Ginia for $1,500 and another (artist unknown) was $7,000. Quill boxes, however, we felt were not of outstanding quality and priced excessively, 1-1/2" boxes were $200, 3" were $400, a 4" oval at $400 and a 10" box was $3,000.

The word "PAUAU" is of Algonquin derivation and originally meant "curing ceremony." The first White men to witness this religious practice saw the great number of people in attendance and later erroneously coined the word Pow-Wow to mean any gathering of Indian people. Today Indians use the word "Pow-wow" to signify a general gathering in which the primary emphasis is on singing, dancing, feasting and the giving of gifts. The Pow-Wow is one of the major outlets through which the American Indian expresses his identity. For many, Pow-wow fever implies having a good time, seeing old friends, and at least temporarily -- being Indian and following the Indians way of life.

"The team itself is a great Washington institution, but its name is offensive and derogatory," he says. So FANS AGAINST INDIAN RACISM (our emphasis) whose approximately 50 members are not American Indians -- has written to Redskin's Management and flown banners over the playoff and Super Bowl games to publicize its concern. "We are offering to raise $1,000 for a new name contest," Mr. Burke says. He says his group's efforts of the past six months have drawn the interest of several congressmen and the support of the National congress of American Indians.

Iron Eyes Cody-(Cree-Cherokee) * * * * * * Recent Ceremonies of the Three Fires Society By Jeffery Justin (EDITOR'S NOTE: Lodge member Jeff, has accompanied the George Martin's, now a first degree member of the Midewiwin, to the past three or four ceremonial gatherings of the Three Fires Lodge) * The present conflicts in the Persian Gulf, undertaken by our country to liberate an invaded people, bring to mind dealings with Indian people. To help resolve conflicts between the Canadian government and the Mohawks of the Kana wake and Kanesatake reserves, The Three Fires Society of Canada and the United States held a special ceremony in the Midewiwin Lodge last summer in the vicinity of St. Charles, Ontario, about 150 miles north of Toronto. A group of runners, young men and women, had undertaken to run from the Okanagan country in the west of Canada to the embattled Mohawk reserves in Quebec. As the sun set, about twenty young people were escorted through the lodge's eastern doorway and honored with a special feast. Afterward, they spoke movingly about their motivations and hopes for continuing and renewing Indian culture while finding peaceful ways to resolve injustice. Eddie Benton-Banai, grand chief of the lodge, then spoke for productive peace to the Mohawk reserves. First the feather was passed around the lodge in the direction the sun travels. Eddie asked an Oshkabewis (helper) to watch the feather as it was being passed around, to ensure that every person of about 100 people in the lodge, from babies to elders, touched the feather in passing it along. Then Eddie presented it to the runners, who expressed their thanks, and then left the lodge to run to the East through the cool night air. Another important event last summer was the recognition of a bear-clan woman from the St. Charles, Ontario area as leader of the women. Mide people sit in the part of the lodge corresponding to the direction of their origin in Indian country. Those from Manitoba sit in the west of the lodge, for instance. The grand chief performed the recognition by walking with three lodge officers to the head woman's position in the east, where she sat upon one of the bearskins that mark the four directions within the lodge. Apparently emphasizing the level upon which her work would be done, each of the officers extended a hand to the women in turn, but it was only when the grand chief also offered her his hand that she then reached back and was raised up by the men. Then in the center of the lodge she received a gift and accepted her office. �••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PAGE 44 FEBRUARY 1991 VOL. 22, NO. 5 The very construction of the lodge emphasizes the importance of women in this society. Women sit along the north side of the lodge, men on the south. As the poles are pulled to the center and tied together to form the lodge, men and women together make the lodge a reality. For doings, are all proposed to the women and must be accepted by the women before they can assume their office. There are many teachings in the making of the lodge. Looking at the joined poles and the connecting poles that cross them(horizontally) running the length of the lodge, one man, a political leader who had received a healing ceremony in the lodge last winter, spoke of the path of life. Looking up, two courses of transverse poles clearly mark a path from east to west, from birth to death. Yet our experience of life is that we end up getting sidetracked, stuck in an offshoot of the path, where death and oblivion can easily become our fate. Similarly, like the bottom of a feather, the central path is strong and evident when we are young. But like the top of a feather, the main spine is less evident after much experience of life. Easy to get sidetracked from the path to renewed life, which demands some difficult transformations in fostering the natural desire of our spirit to live on. Some months later, in late fall, the next ceremonies were held at the Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibway reserve in north-western Wisconsin. This time several people from the West-Michigan Indian community attended. Leaves down in a mild late-November revealed white birch against a clear blue sky. At these fall ceremonies, Anishinabe people may take a vow to seek initiation into the Midewiwin. For these vow-takers there will be gifts of food and ceremonial items to prepare and teachings to learn before being accepted for initiation. The earliest time for initiation will be the spring ceremonies in the following year. The Three-Fires Lodge has been allowed to initiate not only into the first degree, but also into the second Midewiwin degree. • • • • •• "Columbus Sailed The Ocean Blue In Fourteen Hundred And Ninety-Two" Are a few lines out of a popular verse that countless school children were prompted to recite a generation or two ago when learning about the famous explorer Christopher Columbus. Altho now acknowledged as not the first discoverer of North America, his arrival did however mark the start of a catastrophic upheaval in the movement of people, animals, plants and diseases world-wide that is now known as the "Columbian Exchange." Altho it enriched the world beyond calculation, it also left a terrible legacy of obliterated, fouled, disrupted and changed cultures of North, Central and South American Indian nations who continue to this day to bear the wounds and scars of almost 500 years of domination. Our introduction is hoped to peak the reader's interest by this brief if even incomplete review of a book entitled, "THE COLUMBIAN EXCHANGE," and subtitled, "Biological and Cultural Consequences of 1492," by Alfred W. Crosby, Jr. It was first published in 1972 by the Greenwood Press of Westport Connecticut. Our interest in this subject is prompted by the fact that Columbuses so called discovery of the New World will in all probability receive national and international interest in 1992 which will mark the 500th anniversary of Columbuses first landfall in the Bahamas in 1492. And to be sure there will be much positive and negative reaction in the media by those most affected. You will hear much rhetoric as well from organized Indian groups and for this reason we want our readers to know some basic and legitimate causes for those Indian reactions, even �••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• VOL. 22, NO. 5 FEBRUARY 1991 PAGE 45 500 years later! Indeed, a more enlightened and wiser generation of Indian people might even add a few new lines to our opening verse - Now By His Coming Who Can Doubt The Ghosts Of A Million(s) Indians Still Cry Out! The "Columbus Exchange" examines an almost incomprehensible movement between the Old World and the now called New-World or America. This exchange beginning with the invasion of hostile greedy people with their terrible old-world diseases and their domestic animals such as horses, cattle and sheep, were followed by fauna and insects. On the export side of the exchange were Indian slaves, maize (com), potatoes, manioc, medicines, gold, silver and much much more. The effects of potatoes, manioc and com alone, spread world-wide from the Spanish Americas to become a staple food base accounting for population growths unprecedented in all man's history. The author writes " ... if maize were the only gift the American Indian ever presented to the world, he would deserve undying gratitude for it has become one of the most important of all foods for man and his livestock. Ears of ancient wild maize, recently unearthed in Mexico, enables us to measure the achievement of the American Indian agriculturalist. The native ear of wild maize was as thick as a pencil and are an inch long. The food value of the whole ear was probably less than a single kernel of twentieth century maize." Among the Andean Inca farmers it is said that they developed a root-crop called "potatoe" into over 400 species and into several thousand varieties. Potatoes were grown and developed for growing at various elevations so that if unexpected weather changes wiped out one variety grown at a limited elevation, the other level crops would survive. The author also states " ... The number of human beings on this planet today would be a good deal smaller but for the horticultural skills of the neo-lithic American." A question often asked is how so few Spaniards could take over those powerful warrior nations such as the Aztecs and Incas. We quote from the author: "There are many explanations for the European success in America - the advantage of steel over stone; of canon and firearms over bows and arrows and slings; the terrorizing effect of horses on foot soldiers who have never seen such beasts before; the lack of unity among Indians, (a problem even today) even within their empires; the prophecies in Indian mythology about the coming of white gods, (from the east). All these factors combined to deal the Indian a shock as only H.G. Well's "War on the Worlds" can suggest to us. Each factor was undoubtedly worth many hundreds of soldiers to Cortez and Pizarro and other great Indian killers ... " "After the Spanish conquest, onelndian of Yucatan wrote of his people in happier days before the advent of the Europeans- 'There was then no sickness; they had no 'Small Pox';they had no 'High Fever'; they had no 'Burning Chest'; they had no 'Consumption'; they had no 'Head Ache' ... "It too has been well established that these (new) diseases often traveled so fast from the first infestation at one village or town to another, thus often preceding and diseminating the people well in advance of the invading Spaniards. And as if disease did not wreak enough terrible things upon the Indians the author quotes;" ... but as the Indians of the larger islands disappeared, slavers sailed out to smaller islands, spread diseases and seized multitudes of Arawaksand Cariblndians, (both now extinct) to feed the death camps that Espanola, Cuba, Puerto-Rico and Jamaica had become. Thus within a few score years of Columbuse's first American landfall, the Antillian aborigines had been almost complete eliminated. �....................................................... ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PAGE 46 FEBRUARY 1991 VOL. 22, NO. 5 Oviedo, one of the earliest historians of the Americas estimated that a million Indians lived in Santo Domingo when the Europeans arrived .... in the New World. "Of all these," Oviedo wrote," and of all born afterwards, there are now believed to be at the present time in this year of 1548, five hundred persons, children and adults, who are natives and are the progeny of those first" Toe destruction of the Arawaks has been largely blamed on the Spanish cruelty, not only by later protestant historians of the Black Legend school but also by such contemporary Spanish writers as Oviedo and Bartolome de La Casas. Without a doubt the early Spaniards brutally exploited the Indians. Interesting to note in all this the author writes, "Toe Europeans destroyed the Indian civilizations and drove his gods into Christian vestments, but in many of the most elemental ways - THE INDIAN REMAINED INDIAN." And so it is we write - NOW BY HIS COMING WHO CAN DOUBTTHE GHOSTS OF A MILLION(S) INDIANS STILL CRY OUT. *** *** Ida Evans, (Ottawa), 93 years old, passed away on February 7, 1991.

"Bash" is hardly a typical Indian saying, but it does evoke an expression of a good time that was had by all, and indeed, we sure did. somewhat over ( 90) people attended -- some coming from as far away as Detroit, Indiana and Mt. Pleasant. The nasty weather all day probably kept many others from coming as well. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of an Eagle Feather to Little Elk on behalf of the Two Hawk Drum. In making the award, Bill Memberto commented on Little Elk's exemplary lifestyle and his influence on members of the Drum as a much respected Elder. An Honor song and dance followed. Needless to say the Drum was the focal point of the evening. LITTLE ELK WITH GRANDDAUGHTER ELI RECEIVING EAGLE FEATHER Following the feast, Little Elk received several more gifts. A silver turquois watch-band; a silver-turquois medallion; a turquois decorated snuff box; a sweater; an arrow; two large beaded panels in a geometric pattern (exquisite) and a large cake decorated in his honor. And of course there were many kind words, wishes, and shared memories with this outstanding representative of our state-wide Michigan Indian community.

While surely not necessarily the innovators of any of the many street ways for a cheap drink, they shared in the common knowledge and street use of these often times severely harmful, potent and often fatal products. such were their highly risk filled usage. Too, we would hasten to add that all of the products mentioned in our story are either no longer available over the counter and/or have had their chemical formulation altered when such unintended usages were discovered. The mention of them no longer presents any danger to society and no longer competes with the often highly sophisticated materials, outside of cheap wine, of substance abuse today. we questioned too, why soil the pages of th is journal, or any other publication, for that matter, with the sordid details of an unpleasant era in urban Indian history? well, maybe, because the old tribal system of "publi c shame" as a behavioral control in pre-contact times may just still have influence upon the street ways that still continue. we can look for reasons in a "to-hell-with-society" attitude. or we can even say the plight of the "Street Indians" was the result of an overwhelming disillusionment at their odds for a better life. or is it as one informant summed up for me in answer to my more noble excuses offered by saying -- "Hell man, most of us were just out for a darn good time and the street way was the only way most of us could afford!" �++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++•••• PAGE 52 MARCH 1989 VOL. 20, NO. 6 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ so in truth, to publish or not to publish was not tempered by negative jou r nalism, but rather an admission of problems looked at somewhat with humor but in true seriousness. Hopefully, and importantly too, it may help to counter some of the facts. That our Grand Rapids Indian population does not call the "Glass-Bar," ( in G.R. Michigan) hangout as its cultural and social center. And that our local so called "Bridge-street-Indian," is far more fictional legend than fact. And too, the overwhelming Indian population of Greater Grand Rapids need not be culturally smeared by the irresponsible life styles of an exceedingly small minority of the Indians in our community. Too, although "Pink Ladies" and "Smoke" are now almost forgotten terms, as with most of the others, the basic problems assuredly are not, and continue to exist today by other names albeit. Finally we thought, "Spittin-In-Your-Eye," might just be a better way of getting your concerned attention. * For some Native Americans, life as "street-people" was more a consequence of circumstances as frequent transients and not their traditional life style. Their sexes as described by one informant who said, "Hell, there were a l mo st as many women as men." Al though we wouldn't challenge the number of wo men drinking, those who could be called "street-women" were considerably fewer. When asked about their ages he answered -"Most of us were somewhere between 20 to 35 years old. In my time, not many who started on the street lived to be much older!" The reasons were quite obvious considering the constant dangers of "street-1 ife"; the frequent lock-ups, fights, exposure, irregular meals, poor diets, injuries, lack of medical attention and of course excessive substance abuse that combined to give such life style a much shortened life span. sadly too, nowadays even the much younger find themselves on the street due to increased numbers of broken homes and single parent families and the legacy of undisciplined children they leave to the Indian community's efforts to try and take care of their own. * Where there was a will, there was a way, might just be the best way to paraphrase their pursuit for a drink. "PINK-LADY" was one such drink. It was probably better known as "CANNED-HEAT", and it's users were known as "CANNED-HEATERS". It probably achieved it's most prolific usage during the prohibition years of the 1920's and into the 1930's. These little alcoholic stoves contained a pink wax substance saturated with alcohol. The blob of wax would be placed in a handkerchief then squeezed and kneaded repeatedly until reduced to the size of a marble while the alcohol strained thru the "hanky". the contents were then "cut," that is, mixed with a quart of fruit juice and you had yourself a "PINK-LADY". Ingenuity knows no bounds, as was the case when only high alcohol content shellac was available. This required an electrical cord, each wire was attached to nails which in turn were separated by a small wood block then immersed in the container (glass) of shellac and plugged in. AS the liquid heated, the gum would rise to the surface and be skimmed off. The end product was pure alcohol. And then again, if you met your buddy on the street, you might ask him if he had any "CAKE-MIX" on him. He of course was referring to vanilla-extract which used to be about 80% alcohol. Your buddy might answer no, but say he had some "GREEN-LIZZARD" a shaving lotion which used to have a 40% alcohol content. And while headed down to the railroad yards the first guys you met with a perfummy breath, you knew dammed well had a bottle of "BAY-RUM", an alcohol formulated hair tonic. �~••••••••++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++••••••••• VOL. 20, NO. 6 ~A RCH 1989 PAGE 53 +++++++•••••••••••••••••+++++H:.:t:++++++••·············· .. . 1!to ,, \ ,:, Y\_ .

The tubes would be broken to remove the four saturated strips and then chewed with a stick of gum for an all day high. It had very serious and damaging side effects. "PERAGORIC", another once easily available medicine was good for a long lasting high as incidentally was the then available un-treated "NUTMEG". Among the more popular drinks was "SMOKE". This was a formerly available high-content alcohol base rubbing-alcohol. All you had to do was mix about 2 oz. with a larger amount of water which produced a smoke-like chemical reaction, and hence the name "SMOKE". Today, all of these "hard-times" escapes into the murky depths of sustained alcoholism has been replaced by the cheap and readily available low priced wines and the subsequent label for their over-indulgent users as "WINOS". "INDIAN WINOS" are not an extinct species of "street-people" nowadays by any means, but they are, however, a very significant minority that does not deserve the constant vilification by the non-Indian society. N~ither are they the typical urban Indian. And we doubt if the non-Indian community tries harder to ressurect those who need help more than the Indian people traditionally do. They are noted for what might even be termed as an instinct for tribal survival of their own kind, Those that fail to respond to repeated assistance are what we termed a "significant minority" of the local Indians. Another distinction worthy of clarification is that so called term -"STREET-PEOPLE", especially when applied to Indians. Most Anishnawbe in the Grand Rapids area have places to stay, but choose the unconfined freedom of the city at large. Their numbers, according to one social worker of Indian descent stated that currently their numbers would not exceed twenty five ( 25) people city wide. The same case worker also advised me the term "TRANSIENTS", would be more descriptively accurate. At the "HEARTSIDE MINISTRY" of Grand Rapids, an organization that also serves "STREET-PEOPLE" through a remarkably well equipped facility in several levels of medical and counseling services of which the religious out-reach is but one. Director Rev. George K, Heartwell referred to actual records in his file that indicated, for example, in the period of March 1988 through August 1988, (6 months) they served only seventeen (17) Native American so called street-people. statistically, Native Americans are grouped with Asiatics and that group represents 5,2% of the total of all ethnic groups treated Caucasian, Blacks and Hispanics. Thus the final number of INdian "STREET-PEOPLE" is only 2.6% of the total. Although not an alarming number even the suffering of one is one too many! such were the times that were, and such are the times that are. If we have achieved anything at all in focusing upon alcohol-abuse, it is most assuredly not to minimize a problem that still exists, but most hopefully to put it in a more truthful perspective. And finally as one elderly survivor of street-life said to me "TELL OUR STORY, MAYBE IT MIGHT HELP SOME ONE." Talking crow * * * * * * SEEN AND HEARD ON THE NBC "TODAY SHOW" WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1,1989 While on the subject of alcohol, you may ask, how bad can a problem rea l~ y become? -- read on -Gallup, New Mexico, is now known as "DRUNK CITY USA." And that the highway between Gallup and the Navajo Indian Reservation (about 30 miles) had �~···········••++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++•••············································ VOL. 20, NO. 6 MARCH 1989 PAGE 55 (80) Indian fatalities in 1988 alone out of over 300 major auto accidents! Gallup is a small town but with a special distinction. It has a main street lined with 67 bars! The many drunk Indians that freeze to death along the edge of the highway between Gallup and the reservation are common enough in the winter time to be called "POPSICLES". Police reports read -- picked up "POPSICLE" near •••• While blame for the problem is assuredly many fold, both INdian and non-Indian, but we wonder too what Chief McDonald, the millionaire ruler of the nation's largest Indian reservation is doing besides amassing a personal fortune? one Indian interviewed on the show said "prohibition never worked for the white man, and it will never work on the reservation, that's why we go to town!" seemingly, a problem of th is magnitude as described on the TODAY show would have had the personal attention of the Chief and his council long before it became a problem of national notoriety. The Chief needs more attention to people problems than money making land speculations. * * * * * * POW-WOWS AND ALCOHOL How serious is the Pow-wow drinking problem? Well, that very common and prominent, notice on many of the Pow-wow fliers speaks for itself! "NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS PLEASE" NO ALCOHOL PLEASE! "NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR DRUGS ARE PERMITTED ON GROUNDS" "NO ALCOHOL -- PUBLIC WELCOME -- NO DRUGS" "NO BOOZE -- NO DRUGS!" "DRUGS AND ALCOHOL OUT!" "ABSOLUTELY NO ALCOHOL OR DRUGS IN POW-WOW" CULTURAL, SPORT'S OR CHILDREN'S AREAS! "NO DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR PETS ALL OWED" ETC. Pow-wows as a rule, are by no means drunken brawls, or even generally severe drinking situations, although now and then a real bad one develops. The problem is much more, that even a small amount of rowdy drinkers continue to give the already badly scarred Indian image more of a black-eye at a time when a Pow-wow strives to bring in the non-Indian community into their proud cultural celebration. Drinking is also an ongoing worisome concern to Pow-wow committees who's concern for injury and lawsuits is a real modern day nightmare! No one finds fault with POW-WOW PARTICIPANTS who like to enjoy a restful beer or two in their camps after the days events are over -- socializing with family and friends is a major aspect of Pow-wow gatherings. Rather, it is the "brown-baggers" who's sole non-participating purpose in attending a Pow-wow is to get into a raging Hell, carnival-spirit and booze it up with their also non-participant buddies. The guaranteed drunken fight is sure to follow! THIS IS WHAT CONTINUES TO GIVE POW-WOWS THEIR BLACK EYE and is the cause for the NO ALCOHOL, NO DRUGS notices in Pow-wow fliers. But for the few Pow-wow participants who do disregard the most serious meaning of their traditional values we quote the words of the Director of Alcohol and substance Abuse, at the Chicago Indian center, a full blood Lakota, JOEWHITE-EYES. writing in the "INTERCOM", a Chicago American Indian Communities · newsletter, (Jan 1989, Vol. 9, No. 9), we quote in part: �++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++•• PAGE 56 MARCH 1989 VOL. 20, NO. 6 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• " ••• Living the lie (reference to their drinking and drug habit) is the forte of these chemically dependent people.

The level of sophistication our ancestors had cannot be equaled by someone who is full of booze and drugs, or under the influence of these chemicals even when not drinking or using drugs. This writer does not care how many Pow-wows you have danced or how well you sing at them, or how often you practice spiritual traditions, how steeped in spirituality you are ••• if you booze and or use drugs you may be more ready for the funny farm (then you think)." In this Editor's opinion, equally damaging is the picture we are giving our young people -- tomorrow's leaders. Like hey man!, if your macho enough to pull it off, th is makes you one wise street Indian in the eyes of your peers -- Right man? Not really. In time both macho and booze-drugs makes you one Big Chief Loser for yourself and your people! * * * * * * THE BOTTLE'S FINALLY EMPTY! and the Editor finally passed out, sounds like an appropo scenario for this issue. But since I don't drink and didn't pass out perhaps I should share the thoughts that led up to the stories in this issue. First, if Grand Valley Lodge is serious about its founding principles (now 28 years ago) to promote and preserve Native American culture, and to speak out on matters that offend the cultural image, and second, if just about every Indian news paper and serious news-letters contain unending efforts in contributing the reflected interest of their community through journalistic endeavors to help curb the substance abuse, and if we ignore these problems then we shouldn't identify ourselves as an Indian concerned group. Admittedly, the subject isn't as pleasant as talking about the many, many proud aspects about Native American culture, and we certainly do from time to time, but it's also time to put the Lodge's shoulder to the wheel against substance abuse too! Finally in testing these editorial aspirations among young and old Anishnawbes in our community it was go for it man! And I did. As always, may Grandfather share in your thoughts and plans for yourself, your loved ones, your extended family, your friends and your community.
