In our general five Great Lakes states area, ( and Ontario) ,we have already pretty much got under way.

Although we can't really fault them for problems we are not aware of, the Commission's news letters have included some scattered Pow-wow information, both local and national. They may have had many unavoidable problems of priorities, staff shortages or others. on the good side, we have heard the commission will be sending out, albiet a little late, a Pow-wow directory in the near future.

Prayers and hymns were sung and spoken in the Odawa language by Mabel Shomin and Jeanette St. Clair. Much was said about the contributions this wonderful lady made to the betterment of our Native American community through Lodge activities. A Eulogy given by this editor at the services, which were held at Reyers North Valley chapel to an estimated audience of around ninety friends, family, and guests, is published elsewhere in this issue. The beautiful and impressive Native American-oriented chapel services were arranged and conducted by fellow member, Lodge sub-Chief Jeanette st. clair,(Odawa) in accordance with Evelyn's wishes. A most commendable arrangement and memorable service indeed. Following the Chapel Memoriam, some seventy people gathered at the Leisure Village community Lodge, at Evelyn's late residence, for cake and coffee. Again many tributes and personal experiences were recalled as Evelyn's family and friends shared their many years of memories of not only Evelyn, but also her late husband (Lodge co-Founder and first chief), william Thatcher in often humorous happenings we shall always remember. As a final tribute to this special lady, life long friend, 90 year old Chief Little Elk, (Eli Thomas) assisted by Red Arrow, (Don Stevens) and Marie Meyers conducted an old Chippewa •sPIRIT RELEASE· ceremony through offerings of Red Willow, cedar, Tobacco, and susupqua which were burned to release their sacred smoke to Getchi-Manitou, and to purify those spectators wishing so. Prayers and chants with drum concluded this impressive little ceremony which was explained in detail by Red Arrow. In conclusion, and reflecting upon this writer's forty some years friendship with both of the Thatchers, Evelyn would have been pleased with her memoriam. And for those who may just have been casual friends, surely came away knowing Evelyn almost as intimately as her oldest friends. • AMERICAN INDIAN DANCE co.• Did any of our readers perchance, catch the ABC Network show on a recent sunday morning (May 7th), featuring a segment on the Charles curall program entitled, •American Indian Dance co.? The new theatrical group was organized by a Kiowa, and has about 15 or 20 members. They include seven women, while overall, the company represents some seventeen different tribal backgrounds. The group may well represent the possibly first ever such all Indian dance group conceived for stage production. the flawlessly executed dances included an Eagle Dance, war Dance, Pipe Dance, (a 47 hoop) Hoop Dance, and much more. The young adult championship dancers and singers were recruited nationally from the Pow-wow circuit. Both "Fancy• and "Traditional• styles were demonstrated by dancers wearing exquisitely detailed· and colorful regalia. �+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VOL. 20, NO. 8 .MAY 1989 PAGE 70 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++••+++++++++++++++++++++++++ And although some of the dances were "group"-choreographed, they still represent Native American dance styles that were done in excellent taste and respect to Indian traditions. From this reporter's viewpoint, this striking innovation of a "dance-company" may finally bring Indian dance to a far greater audience, a non-Hollywood presentation, as it were, of the beautiful and meaningful traditional dances of the American Indian to those who never get to attend a Pow-wow. We also envision the production as penetrating a possibly more influential audience as compared to Pow-wow followers, and thus possibly achieve greater respect and understanding among those who could be more helpful to better race relations. Hats off to the American Indian Dance co. for the courage of their vision!! We truly wish them and their inspiration unending success! * * * * * * 1989 NATIVE AMERICAN CRITICAL ISSUES CONFERENCE ( EDITORS NOTE: Problems facing young Indian adults today have probably never been more critical. Although attempts continue on all levels to address these issues is both encouraging and imperative for their future. Thus we are proud to share a seventeen year old' s viewpoint on these matters. TEOFIL REYES is of Indian and Mexican descent and a student at our Grand Rapids City High School.) "The 1989 Native American critical Issues conference was held at the 28th street Marriot (Grand Rapids) on March 2, 3, and 4, with the main conference sessions being held on March 3rd. Many of the sessions centered around "YOUTH 2000". In one of the sessions, "INDIAN YOUTH: OUR FUTURE IS YOU" participants were asked to find five (of the) greatest threats to Indian youth. The responses included drugs, cultural loss, drop out rate, suicide, peer pressure, lack of support, and racial prejudice. A video entitled, "BE LIKE THE EAGLE" was shown. Its main idea being that one can 'soar like the Eagle', if only one tries. Another session which followed the same theme was "YOUTH 2000 PLANNING", in which the greatest threats to Indian youth were discussed and solutions proposed. There was a general consensus that the two main threats to Indian youth today are drug abuse and a lack of communication between youths and their elders. General solutions, Pow-wows, and informational gatherings where problems could be solved and age differences resolved. various other sessions dealt with such issues as "WHO IS AN INDIAN?", scholarship Opportunities for Indian youth, and breaking the cycle of ·inter-generational alcoholism. All of the sessions were presented by experts in their fields. There were several tables set up by varying organizations with interests in the conference issues. The Michigan Indian Press had a table where people could explore the written knowledge on Michigan Indians. Other tables displayed Indian arts and crafts. The conference was a worthwhile experience in that it brought youth and adults together in a learning environment. However, one problem was that although many of the conference issues pertained to underprivileged Indian youths, there weren't very many Indian youths present. None the less, the conference did raise hopes that many problems facing Indian youth today could be resolved in time."

Although we surely gather at one of life's saddest moments, when one we loved, and always needed departs for another life, not of our mortal substance, we can still find a special kind of happiness as we recall how truly wonderful and meaningful a life she helped to make for everyone who• s pathway in some way shared or touched hers. And surely, although Evelyn may have meant a little different to each of us personally, there was very much however, that distinguished her as a very special person! Evelyn was a person who deeply loved and respected Mother Earth and its living things. Her special "bird friends" always found a kind and concerned friend in her many bird feeders. The world of flowers and plants knew her tender love and touch, as did her feelings of clouds, sunsets, and all the things in nature. Evelyn was a friend who always inquired after another friend's misfortune or good fortune with a thoughtful call, greeting card, or with a small gift. Evelyn was one who's share of any task was always more than was expected of her, even as the years slowed her down. Evelyn was one who shared her fortunes with thoughtful acts and/or gifts with those less fortunate than herself, and with a special emphasis towards Native American people. Evelyn was one who's intelligence and devotion to the smallest detail served her well as a one time department store supervisor, a ~edical secretary, and a EVELYN THATCHER man-sized job of managing a several hundred unit mobile home park for several years and up to her retirement. Evelyn was one who's services to the Wright L coffinberry chapter of the Michigan Archeological society as an officer and active member earned her honors of recognition in some forty years of participation. Evelyn was one who's dedication and 28 years, Honorary Life Membership, a lohg time secretary and officer in the Grand Valley American Lodge, is a cherished memory respected by every member past and present. Evelyn was one who's Lodge secretarial duties always immaculately cared for, yet found special love in chairing the Lodge's "Daisey counzelman Fund", annual Children's Christmas party for the past many years. Evelyn was one who's good life and lifestyle was never compromised. Conscientious, honest, considerate, kind, thoughtful, truthful, and always helpful were simply her way of life. Evelyn was one who as a mother, gave her two daughters Dawn and Mavis, a true and lasting gift of a mother's love and understanding, and her own self as an example of that love that surely guided and molded these two outstanding women along their own pathway of life. �~•++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VOL. 20, NO. 8 MAY 1989 PAGE 72 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Evelyn as a wife to her late husband, William Thatcher, "GIT-CHI-WE-BIT", to his Chippewa friends and relatives and co-founder of the Grand valley American Indian Lodge, found in EVelyn a great mother of their daughters, a friend, companion, affectionate wife, and one whom he always lovingly called "Sis•. These are among the many thoughts that fill my mind and heart-thoughts born of forty years of sharing common interests, family travels, hundreds of picnics and potlucks, of helping one another, of disagreeing, of arguing and I'm sure of even getting angry, but always coming to an agreement. Indeed, when necessary- "The kind sweet lady•, as one recently recalled her, had the priceless quality as a leader. In her quiet way, she was a trtie fighter, too. Finally, sharing these thoughts with family, friends, and guests, as we said in our opening remarks, although with heavy hearts, it behooves us to look at the happiness Evelyn Thatcher has put into all of our lives. Indeed, we can be thankful even in these moments of sorrow for the inspiration Evelyn bequeaths to all of us here today. And were Evelyn here to speak for herself, she would probably say "OK, Who wants coffee, cider, or punch?" Evelyn Thatcher we love you!! Thank you, In Friendship Always, E.V.

Ben, 66, a full blood Chippewa of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan saddened his family and many, many friends by his sudden and unexpected departure for the Spirit Trail this past September 29th, 1984. No indeed, too few of us are able to judge a truly great man -- a Great Chief! One who walked many diverse paths at one time and sadly too often almost alone! But when one plans for the future of one's people, the same people too often see only today as all that matters -- not so with Ben. He was thought by some as visionary and probably maybe even foolish, but none of which deterred the persistence and doggedness of achiever Ben Quigno. Ben's quiet personality always seemed to me an easy person to get along with, but as still water runs deep, it surely did not reveal the powerful under currents that drove Ben to achieve his goals for the future well-being of his people. Time and again, in my many short visits with Ben in his office, I was always made to feel important -- like I had a viewpoint to offer that he was glad to \ ' '. ;\ get. Although in most cases my ' viewpoint may not have mattered at all, ,_ .'. , ..,. but great people seem to possess that . ,,.-, quality of finding importance in everyone. Seemingly, truly great men too, have a quality of humbleness that is most admirable in a person. To my knowledge Ben wasted no time basking in the glory of his achievements of which there were many. Ben's contribution to the legacy of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe include the modern, beautiful and functional Tribal Center; a Police and Fire Department; two Housing Develop- ments; a Wood Manufacturing Plant; the hugely successful and very profitable Bingo Operation and probably a host of lesser, but still important improve- ments for the entire Saginaw Chippewa Tribe and the generations of Chippewas to come. Finally, in all of the tribal businesses that Ben constantly pursued, he always won my heart too, by his appreciation of Native Americans Art and Culture and again like all very busy people, he somehow found time to demonstrate he was an accomplished artist and portrait painter. Truly, when you judge a man, look carefully, for in the shadow of his path you may truly see a great man -- a Great Chief! Long may his memory be among us and his inspiration a goal for all.

It is always more interesting and valuable to know who the artisan was, if possible, or at least to what tribal heritage the style and quality of workmanship belonged. Because our subject example is a most unique, and we believe rare, style of basketry that is reasonably well documented, therefore it's provenience can help establish a Tribal connection by association. Traditionally, an Indian never makes a gift of an article that was in turn given to them, makes it reasonable to preclude that the subject presentation of "Gift-Basket" was made by the people who made the presentation. �111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110111111111111111011111 VOL. 16, NO. 2 November 19.8 4 PAGE 14 ,,,111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111011110111111111111111 MEDICINE WHEEL OR SACRED HOOP? The man walked along the crests of some rather high hills that seemed to partially encircle an Indian encampment. He carried in his right hand a Hoop about 20" in diameter. The Hoop had a typical "Medicine-Wheel" shape, that is, with two right-angle cross-bars, and was wrapped with a coarse cloth-like material that looked a little raggedy or worn. It was vividly colored; red, yellow and blue. Looking down into the camp he rolled the Hoop with considerable force so it spun down the hill, then circling several times, it finally came to rest on its side. Because of the vivid colors, it was easy to see the Hoop, even from the high hills. Decending the hills the man searched for a long time before finally finding the Hoop, not where he was sure he saw it come to rest, but instead, hanging on a peg, several feet above ground, so one had to look up to see it. It was in Little Elk's (Eli Thomas) camp. And it was then that he noticed the rim of the Hoop was broken! Pondering this demise, the man decided to leave his Hoop with Little Elk, because knowing Little Elk, IF ANYONE COULD FIX OR RESTORE THE HOOP, SURELY LITTLE ELK COULD! When I awoke, I found myself once again wondering about that strange and disturbing feeling when I go through the kind of crystal-clear experience that makes me wonder if it is some yet to be understood "vision" or just an overworked, sub-conscious imagination, "horsing around in dreamland."

ENTRANCE TO PLANETARIUM BLDG. (MEETING ROOM TO RIGHT OF ENTRANCE) 6:30 P . M. * ANNUAL GHOST SUPPER 6:30 P.M. our introduction to the Lodge's annual Ghost Supper tradition usually tries to emphasize some aspect of the tradition's history. However, in reading previous year's council Drum News introductions to our Ghost Supper I feel it expressed some view points that cannot be repeated often enough and hence will use it again except for one change which is that someone will always admonish us by saying "that is not the way we used to do it." In contacting a number of senior citizens from different Indian communities, one thing readily becomes apparent that no two communities observed the same practices or for that matter, the same day of the month and even refer to it by different pames. our ceremonial observance is unique to our Lodge. It was originated by our late past Chief and Co-Founder, William Thatcher, Chief Little Elk and George Mallette. It simply happens to be the way in which we choose to honor our loved ones, relatives and friends. The final point is not how we memorialized these departed souls, BUT THAT WE DO PAUSE TO HONOR THEIR SOUL SPIRITS. Having attended several local and outstate Nishnawbe funerals over the past many years, I am invariably and deeply impressed by the always very large attendance irrespective of the deceased age or achievements in life -- they come there to assist "brothers or sisters" departure to the Land of souls. They came to hear all of the good the person's life-time had contributed in even the smallest way to the happiness and well being of others. There is good in all people if we just take the time and effort to look for it! And the departing soul was always the focal point and entire reason for the gathering. The majority of those traditional Native American funerals were deeply meaningful, and death, though always heart-breakingly sad for those left behind, is actually made ceremonially beautiful. Most importantly the occasions of a traditional Native American's funeral is never compromised as an opportunity to seek new religious converts -- the departing soul never takes second place! �1111111111111111111111111111111111111i1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 PAGE 2 OCTOBER 1988 VOL. 20, NO. 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I U I 1 1 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I I I I I I For Grand Valley American Indian Lodge, this year marks our 14th c onsecutive year in observing our most respected and now time-honored Ghost Supper Tradition. so it is with heavy hearts that we remember those who departed from among us for the Land of Souls, and by accepting the ways of the "Great Mystery," "Creator," "Grandfather," "God," w~ can open our hearts, our minds and our t houghts so our loved ones can ,.. return in "CHEESY" among us.

I continue to feel that I have achieved a number of my initial goals in these past twelve years. I wanted our newsletter to better reflect the problems, trends and progress in our urban Indian community of today; I wanted our Newsletter to become a viable part of that community; I wanted people to know more about one another; I wanted to record the good and the bad ways so that our young could better judge good from bad; I wanted people to know those who are making the changes and how it effects some to better accept or reject those changes; to speak more of today and not dwell on the unchangeable past but still acknowledge cultural history. Yes, we have tried to do this with first person accounts; recording experiences and opinions first hand; by using as many photographs and drawings as possible; by trying hard to avoid republishing other printed materials as second-hand stories; by being always alert and on guard to the sensi ti vi ties of people in their experiences, feelings, beliefs and attitudes; to be aware and avoid the pitfalls of gossip and untruths; to maintain non-political directions; to appreciate Indian's love for humor and to realize that Native American culture and their religious values are so inter-woven as to be inseparable from one another. In summary, these values are your Editor's interpretation of our Lodge's constitutional mandate which defines that we were founded upon the principles to promote, preserve, define, correct mis-interpretation and advance Native American culture. These have been and are my guiding principles. How well I have succeeded I feel is quite truthfully reflected in the on-going number of letters and comments that seem to support this measure of success in the goals I constantly strive to achieve. Although our newsletter did not win a national award in 1988, it does not diminish the pride that this Editor experienced in 1986 and 1987 in knowing our Council Drum News received an AWARD OF HONORABLE MENTION from the prestigious NATIVE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. The award was from a large field of entries where only a first-place and honorable-mention selection was made each year. Whereas awards are indeed a welcome inspiration, they also serve to make one work all .the more diligently in order to continue our periodical in this national spotlight of recognition. It also tells me our stories are the kind of information that has interest to many people. * For a more simplified analysis of volume (19), I have arranged the breakdown by feature stories, biographies, pre-published material, photo usage, cartoons and art-work. Finally we have arranged the financial breakdown to also show as simply as possible what it costs us to produce and publish the council Drum News. * �I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I l I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I.I I I PAGE 4 OCTOBER 1988 VOL. 20, NO. 1 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll (A) FEATURE STORIES: OCT. 1987 GHOST SUPPER/COUNCIL DRUM REPORT/EDUCATION NOV. 1987 TORCH LAKE CEREMONIAL/CRAFT CONTEST REPORT DEC. 1987 LODGE XMAS PARTY/CHICAGO POW-WOW REPORT JAN. 1988 POTAWATOMI SWEAT LODGE/TEACHING INDIAN CULTURE FEB. 1988 INDIAN AGAINST INDIAN/EDITORS SANCTUM/PAUAU MAR. 1988 KEVIN LOCKE (SIOUX) PROFILE - HOOP DANCER/FLUTIST APR. 1988 WALPOLE ISLAND VISIT/TRIBAL POLICE/POW-WOWS MAY 1988 CITY IN THE SKY-ACOMA/INDIAN BUFFALO HUNTERS JUN. 1988 ART EXHIBIT/ED PIGION AWARD/3-FIRES POW-WOW •I AM ANISHNABE• - DONNY DOWD PROFILE JUL./ AUG. 1988 •HONORING EARTH• - LCO POW-WOW/POW-WOW FLIER SEPT. 1988 G.V.A.I.L. 27TH POW-WOW REPORT/JEANETTE ST.

Respec tfully - Program Ch airman * * * * * * " INDIAN " VS. NATIVE AMERICAN "Indian" vs. Native American is an often discussed issue whe rever the concerned original inhab itants feel proper termino logy is important. This has given rise to such jokes as: "Hey Man, it's a good thing that Columbus guy wasn't looking for TURKEY, or we might be called 'TURKEYS' INDIAN OR NATIVE AMERICAN instead of Indians!" A reader of the "NATIVE NEVADAN," (Oct. 1988 issue) wrote the Editor asking in part, " •••• why then do the native leaders, scholars, newspapers, and magazin e writers and editors refer to themselves and their people as Indian?" The editor replied: "How about it readers what do you think?" He went on to state that the interesting answers would be printed in their November issue. In this Editor's view the term "Indian" is admittedly an historical misnomer, but surely not a purposeful or an insulting designation. When an honest mistake has been allowed to stand, mostly unchallenged, for nearly 400 years, and allowed to become deeply integrated into millions upon millions of just about every conceivable media and world history so that in spite of some contemporary efforts to abandon the term, the word "Indian" automatically pops into one's mind. SHE'S NOT ARGUING WITH ANYONE Arising out of the confusion, in modern times, at least, is the designa tion "East Indian," in reference to the actual inhabitants of the continent of India so that one virtually never encounters a confusion between the American Indian and the East Indian. �111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111110011 PAGE 6 OCTOBER 1988 1111111111111111111111111111111 VOL. 20, NO, l IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOIIIIIIIIIIII Finally the word "Indian" is the one and only tangible, albeit inactive, "Pan-Indian" political force that has managed to bond all the Indians of North America into one ethnic by Jerry Marcus family.

According to an article by Jane M. Rifkin in the Oct., 88 issue of Hispanic Times, that some of the "thousands of American Indians who abandoned the grinding poverty of their homelands decades ago for the promise of a better life in the big city are heading home to the reservations." The immigration, however small or large, depending upon the area, is interesting from at least one important viewpoint in that within the movement is also a value that decades of urban living have not obliterated traditional ways. It is true too, as the article points out,, "Free hospitalization, federal housing subsidies and food allowances ••••• ," are important. "Besides the hope for better health care in old age, Indian tradition is deep rooted and the return offers cultural enrichment, camaraderie •••••• " Many of these are, "Indians who came to the city under the massive Eisenhower era tribal relocation program thirty years ago." The number of off-reservation natives is still high, according to earl Shaw of the B.I.A. "The number of people living in the nations 278 Indian reservations rose by nearly 20,000 between 1986 and 1988. He noted that in Los Angeles, alone, there are some 125,000 resident Indians belonging to more than 150 tribes." "It is generally believed among these people that creature comforts and amenities of urban lifestyle are secondary to the spiritual meaning of being in one's own element, among one's own people.

Most people of Indian descent, although not necessarily born in this area, did in most cases gravitate from small Indian communities around the state. It would be interesting to know the actual number of those in our area who came from Michigan reservations such as Mt. Pleasant, Hannaville and elsewhere. In any event our Indian population -- estimated at about 4,500 in area of 40 miles around Grand Rapids appears stable -- at least for now. * * * * * * CRAFT CLASS NOTICE 2ND THURSDAY OF EACH MONTH TIME -- 6:30 TO 8:30 P.M.

N. W. (BETWEEN LAKE MICHIGAN DRIVE & BRIDGE ST.) 6:30 P.M. ANNUAL GHOST SUPPER 6:30 P.M. Our introduction to the Lodge's annual Ghost Supper tradition usually tries to emphasize some aspect of the tradition's history. However, in reading previous year's Council Drum News introductions to our Ghost Supper we feel it expressed some viewpoints that cannot be repeated often enough and hence will use it again except for one change, which is that someone will always admonish us by saying, "that is not the way we used to do it." In contacting a number of senior citizens from different Indian communities one point becomes readily apparent that no two communities observed exactly the same practice or for that matter, the same day of the month and even refer to it by different names. Our ceremonial observance is unique to our Lodge. It was originated by our late past Chief and Co-Founder, William Thatcher (Ojibway), also late Chief Issac Pelcher, (Ojibway), late Chief Little Elk, (Eli Thomas - Ojibway) and George Mallette. It simply happens to be the way in which our Lodge chose to honor our late loved ones, relatives and friends. The final point is not how we memorialize these departed Souls, BUT THAT WE DO PAUSE TO HONOR THEIR SOUL SPIRITS! Honoring departed family and friends at these annual November Feasts, usually called "Ghost Suppers," are only one of the unique customs observed and expressed toward a departed "Soul" by some Native American people. True, the customs vary from region to region and tribe to tribe, but respect for the human Soul takes on special meaning to Indian people that can be even more appreciated if you have attended some of their more traditional funerals. Some even express "death" as simply "walking-on," from a mortal life into a spiritual existence. Having attended several local and outstate Anishnawbe.funerals over the past many years, I am invariably and deeply impressed by the always very large attendance irrespective of the deceased age or achievement in life �+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PAGE 2 OCTOBER 1990 VOL. 22, NO. 1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - they come there to assist "brothers" or "sisters" departure to the Land of Souls. They come to hear all of the good the person's lifetime had contributed in even the smallest way to the happiness and well being of others. There is good in all people if we just take time and effort to look for it! And the departing Soul was always the focal point and entire reason for the gathering. The majority of those traditional Native American funerals were deeply meaningful, and death, though always heartbreakingly sad for those left behind, is actually made ceremonially beautiful. Most importantly the occasions of a traditional Native American's funeral is seldom compromised as an opportunity to seek new religious converts - the departing Soul is never left to take second place! For Grand Valley American Indian Lodge, this year marks our 16th consecutive year in observing our most respected and now time-honored Ghost Supper tradition. So it is with heavy hearts that we remember those who departed from among us for the "Land of Souls," and by accepting the ways of the "Great-Mystery," "Gitchi-Manitou," "Grandfather," "God," "Creator," we can open our hearts, our minds and our thoughts so our loved ones can return in "Cheeby" among us. For this we rejoice in setting a place for them at our feast table and in honoring and featuring among the late members and former members listed here as well as any friend and non-member we choose to open our hearts to: FRANCIS BISHOP BETSY THOMAS CHARLES REESE IKE MARSHALL WILLIAM THATCHER ALVINA CHINGMAN CLAIRE POWELL HARRY E.

Re-elected were Chief Ike Peters, Sub Chief Jeanette St. Oair and Treasurer Ed Gillis. Welcome newly elected Secretary-Lou Anne Bush who succeeds retiring Secretary Diane Liszewski. The annual financial reports revealed the Lodge's finances are in very good condition and the overall prospects for a continual stability as encouraging as we enter our 30th year since our founding in 1961. Also Anita Smith was appointed to the Council to replace retiring David "Bo" McCullough. Welcome. *** *** GRAND VALLEY AMERICAN INDIAN LODGE 29TH ANNIVERSARY POW-WOW GENERAL REPORT By the evening of the Pow-Wow's final day only a few Traders still remained on the now mostly deserted grounds and were making ready for an early morning departure. Otherwise, other than a few crows circling the grounds, about all one could see of the estimated 6,000 people that had filled the grounds each day was the well trampled grass around the arena and the "two avenues" that had been flanked by trader booths. Twelve hours later, all was quiet and empty but for the possible "spirits" that are said to linger where grounds have been blessed and prayers said, and for each of us memories made and shared in this annual celebration of Native American Culture in Grand Rapids, Michigan. �+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ OCTOBER 1990 PAGE 4 VOL. 22, NO. 1 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Indeed, it was one of the largest Pow-Wows ever in Grand Rapids, if not in west-central Michigan, at least when judged by trader and public attendance. In addition to the astounding outpouring of public, in spite of the huge local "Celebration-on-the-Grand," we also attracted (6) Drums, over 125 dancers in regalia, and an astounding tum-out of (72) traders! (Most did real well too!) In addition to both parking areas being filled to capacity, cars were parked along Monroe Ave. one half mile in each direction of the entrance into the Pow-Wow! Considering that our Pow-Wow is a "non-contest" event that originated in celebration of the Lodge's annual birthday, but has now evolved into more of a typical PowWow Celebration of outstanding proportions is surely something the entire Lodge can be proud of indeed! For many it was a time for relaxed socializing amid proud displays and activities of Native American culture including the arts and dance. And then for some a relaxed "wind-down" at near season's end for the outdoor Pow-Wow circuit. "PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE" PHOTO BY BONNIE SIMMONS Although much more could be said of the many interesting facets that contribute to the Pow-Wow experience, suffice it to say for now, there seemed to be a general consensus among most Lodge members that our 29th Anniversary Pow-Wow was truly among our best. ...

They also provide transportation services to and from the meal site for those who need it. The meals are held at the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Center's Senior Room (downstairs) every Tuesday and Thursday. Serving time is 11:30 A.M. Outdoor picnics are also held during the summer months. The Church would like to thank all those people who continually volunteer their services or make donations to our program. You have helped to make this program a success. MEGWETCH! Unquote. EDITORS NOTE: As a member and participant in the senior's program one almost wonders if the meal in itself is a lesser part of a program that brings seniors together in friendship and share in comraderie; to catch up on "Indian gossip," to talk about the old days, to hear who may not be well, or who has passed on. Indeed, "Pa-Wa-Ting Ma-GedWin,," under the leadership of REV. JOE SPRAQl.l:Eis truly a blessing for the Indian seniors of west Michigan. We would also like to thank Larry Shananaquet Sr. who makes periodic substantial donations to the senior program as well as to the church in general. Finally, an un-official estimate of the senior meals served during the seventeen months since December 1988, and to date, is OVER 3,000 MEALS! And incidentally, the quality of food prepared and served just could not be more tasty and nutritional-just ask any senior who eats there regularly - mmmmm, good!) * * * ~- REV.

Megwetch! *** *** MAYBE INDIANS DON'T COUNT? Editorially speaking, at least on behalf of all Native Americans, some one has to say it, some one needs to make this comparison. Recently, (earlier this year) a small town (3,500 population), in Alabama was shocked by a succession of suicides among four (4) of its teenagers. The "Shock" was soon picked up by the national media which also soon attracted a "shocked public" followed by well wishers, councilors and psychologists who descended upon the small town to help console and explain, and comfort the unexplainable, terrible, terrible tragedy. Suicides, regardless of where, among whom, or why they happen are both upsetting and sad. However, we wonder when four (4) non-Indian teenagers take their lives it becomes an almost national tragedy. Yet when far larger numbers of equally disillusioned, but Indian, teenagers commit suicide on reservations and in cities, where is a similar national outcry? Where is the weepingly concerned media? Where are the counselors, psychologists and public to mourn and soothe the hurt of those devastated by such tragedies? Where is this nation's often expounded "Christian-conscience," when Indian kids take their lives? Is it because Indians Don't Count? Are their lives, their problems and their sorrows less human than those of non-Indian teenagers? Absolutely not! Then why the lack of national concern over Indian suicides? According to Darrell Brown (Lone Bear), a social worker at Ft. Washakie (pronounced Wash-a-kie) by the Arapaho-Shoshoni Wind River reservation in Wyoming, gives us a sample of what's happening in just one of this nation's (290) reservations and Indian communities. In the fall of 1985, from the middle of September to the middle of October of that year, THERE WERE THIRTEEN (13) TEENAGE SUIQDES! If those statistics don't grab you, then how about the fact that those figures merely repres:ent (13) successful suicides out of ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN (107) ATTEMPTED SUICIDES! Lone Bear said, although their ages ranged from 14 year olds to 24 year olds, the majority by far, were in their middle teens. And that in all investigated circumstances behind the suicides and attempted suicides were: (A) BROKEN HOMES (B) LACK OF SELF ESTEEM (C) INDIAN IDENTITY (D) ALCOHOL & DRUGS (E)UNEMPLOYMENT (F) SOCIAL COMPETITION Lone Bear also said, that although 1985 had an exceptionally high, "completed-suicide" rate for just one month, in one year, the "completed" rate still runs on the order of 3 or 4 and more each year. (And that's just at one reservation!) When viewing these most distressful facts in the light of our governments own attitude toward human-rights issues else where world-wide, we like to impress those foreign governments into believing we are most sincerely concerned advocates for human rights and plights. But practice what we preach at home, in our own backyard, is a little more than a cosmetic band-aid. Government Indian policies contribute both directly and indirectly to conditions creating human rights issues and problems among Native American people. Teenagers suffer the "fall- �••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PAGE 10 OCTOBER 1990 VOL. 22, NO. 1 out" from those situations, become disillusioned and seek suicide as the best way out! A final note might once again make a comparison between (4) teenage suicides in that small Alabama town that became a national concern, while (13) teenage suicides on only one Indian reseIVation failed comparably to equally influence the media and the nation. SO WE ASK AGAIN, IS IT BECAUSE THAT SOMEHOW INDIANS JUST DON'T COUNT? SHAME ON YOU AMERICA ! * EDITOR'S NOTE: Darrell Brown (Lone Bear) is a social worker for the. Wind River ReseIVation in Wyoming. Lone Bear's Great Grandfather was the well known Chief Lone Bear. The Wind River ReseIVation, according to Lone Bear, has a population of about 3,700 Arapahos and 2,500 Shoshonis. Pine Ridge ReseIVation, whom I also contacted seemed reluctant to give me specific information on suicides. *** *** GHOST SUPPER Time: 6:00 p.m., Thursday, November 1, 1990 Place: Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council, 45 Lexington NW, Grand Rapids, Michigan Side Dish Potluck Traditional blessing and burning or rood offering FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK - October has been a hectic month in closing out the old year and "jump- , starting" plans for Lodge fiscal year - Oct. 1, 1990-Sept30, 1991 - our 30th anniversary.

It was a few days later. A couple of crows were •talking• in the near by trees, but I didn't know if they were talking among themselves or to me. A small fragment of red fluff from a dancer's regalia lay crushed in the well trampled grass and was all that there was where countless •happy-moccasined feet• had danced in celebration of Grand Valley American ~ndian Lodge's 27th Anniversary Pow-wow -- 1988! we say, •happy moccasined feet,• because Indian people are truly in their happiest spirits when expressing the love and pride of their enduring culture while dancing. And so too are the non-Indian friends and allies who share in this almost mystic culture of the original landlords of this great continent. In support of those estimated 60 to 70 dancers were the following four drum groups: STAR SINGERS -- HOST DRUM LONE WOLF SINGERS -- VISITING DRUM EAGLETOWN SINGERS -- VISITING DRUM NORTHERN SKY SINGERS -- VISITING DRUM Indeed, singers and dancers are the very heart and core of a Pow-wow. Their combined performance was as always just the greatest! Recognition is also accorded to Monee Chivis, (Potawatomi) our lead Woman Dancer for not only doing a splendid job as a first-time lead dancer, but hopefully the beginning of a Lodge effort toward more young lead dancers in the future. �, • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • ,,.11••••••111•1111•11•11111111111111111111•111111111111 VOL. 19, NO . 12 SEPTEMBER 1988 .

And as with most Pow-Wows, there were both complements and complaints about the kinds of goods sold. And just as there will always be a place for the finely crafted Bob Smith knives and the George Mallette Drums, there will be a place too for the rubber knives and gaudy "inner-tube" drums for the kids. If you were looking for the finer things they were there like the double-design Crow Pipe Bag that I bought. And if you had some kids with you, and on a slim budget, you would have found objects to fit your taste and purse.

CLAIR -- A LEADER AMONG WOMEN * (EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION: As already noted in this issue Pow-wow report in reference to the Honor accorded Jeanette St. Clair, we have herewith recalled the presentation address delivered by this writer. E.V.G.) Jeanette was born in the Indian settlement near Good Hart, Michigan on August 6, 1921. Good Hart is located along a scenic bluff overlooing northwest Lake Michigan, some 15 miles or so north of Petoskey on highway M-119. Both parents and grandparents were of full-blood Odawa descent and life long residents of this region steeped in the lore and traditions of the Odawa people. �IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDIDDIIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIDDDIIIIIIIDIIIII PAGE 99 SEPTEMBER 1988 VOL . 19, NO. 12 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDIIIIIIIIIIIIDIDIIIIIIIIII There is a saying that leaders are not bor n but self made. This may well have been the case for Jeanette 's childhood and adolescent years suffered repeated acts of disc ri minatio n from non Indian schools, business places and nearby communities . Feeling s that almost surely found an exp ression and dete r mination in he r life to become a teacher and spokesperson for the overall betterment of her people . Jeanett ' s schooling began in nearby schools, including he r opening High School ye ars at Petoskey , Michigan. In 1940, Jeanett e entered the Candidature at the Mother House School of Sisters of Notre Dame in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During the next 13 years at the Catho lic Convent she taught school and worked on her college degree . She left the convent in 1955 but did not receive her Bachelor of Science Degree until 1958. Her major was in Biology, with a minor in Math and English. She subsequently enrolled at Michigan State University in 1974 and completed an 18 month program in 12 months to receive her Masters Degree in Educational Counseling. Actually it was the Grand Rapids Public School system that maintained Jeanette would need an MS degree to teach in their system that prompted her to obtain the degree so as to pursue her goal of reducing the great number of school drop-outs among area Indian students. Upon completion of he r M.S. degree Jeanette received the title of NATIVE AMERICAN SPECIAL NEEDS COUNSELOR. over the ensuing years she eventually received the title DIRECTOR OF NATIVE AMERICAN EDUCATION in the Grand Rapids Public School System. Jeanette retired in 1984 after spending 40 years in the field of education. Retirement, however, has not diminished this leader's desire and aggressiveness to work on behalf of the continuing needs of Indian JEANETTE ST. CLAIR people. She maintains memberships in many organizations that require frequent meetings and conferences -- and if nothing more Jeanette said -- "I at least make them aware of our Native American community and their readiness to fit into many fields and programs. Among the memorable things Jeanette told this writer at one time was that when she joined the Grand Valley Indian Lodge in 1963, she was very much impressed, and very surprised to see an organization where Indians and Whites worked and socialized together. She still carried vivid memories of discrimination and hatred from her growing up years. �111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 VOL. 19, NO. 12 SEPTEMBER 1988 PAGE 100 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Indeed, Grand Valley Lodge salutes this soft-spoken woman with the love and gentleness of a faun and the tenacious determination and strength of an Eagle. such is the mettle of this remarkable and wonderful woman Lodge sub Chief Jeanette St. Clair -- we honor you! * * * * * * AND so THE HOT SUMMER ENDED!

DAISY CONZELMAN'S GIFT OF LOVE TO CHILDREN It is now twenty years since a wonderful but lonely Navajo lady, who had no family but the friends she made, left for the Spirit Land. In the short time that she was a member of our Lodge she found love and people who cared about people. As her time to be with Grandfather approached, she wanted that love to go on and on, and so it is that through her bequest to the Lodge the happiness in the smiles and laughter of the children will surely be "seen and heard," by Daisy. Though it is not for mortal eyes to see Daisy, we will know in our hearts that the Spirit of Daisy Conzelman is among us and the beloved children she never had of her own. · How wonderful it is that all of us as "Daisy;s Helpers," can help Daisy make her Annual Children's Christmas party even more joyous and meaningful by: - Bringing your children, Grandchildren, needy children - Bringing, Please only assorted cookies - And help with the party in any way you can. the lodge will supply all else including punch and coffee.

So lets all get behind this annual important Lodge activity! Daisy will surely be looking for us! *** *** Community and Lodge Ghost Suppers GHOST SUPPER NO. 1 was held on the evening of November 1, 1990 at Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council, at 45 Lexington N.W. and was sponsored by the Council. The feast and ceremony was attended by some 150 people. Joe John gave a short background history of "Odawa Suppers" as he knew them. Rev. Joe Sprague of the Powating Magedain Indian Church gave the invocation. The feast and activities were followed by several songs by the Two Hawk Drum. * GHOST SUPPER NO. 2 was held on the afternoon of November 2, 1990 at Westbridge Academy, (Old Union High School, 3rd floor cafeteria) and was sponsored by the Academy's "Alternative Native American Education Program. Attendance was reported to have been over 130 at their annual observance. Joe John was again listed as speaker, with Jeanette St. Clair giving the invocation. Ron Yob was chairman of the arrangements. * GHOST SUPPER NO. 3 was held on the evening of November 3, 1990, at the Westside Complex and was sponsored by our Grand Valley American Indian Lodge. it was attended by 112 people making this 16th Ghost Supper our best attended to date. Special thanks to George and Kay Mallette for conducting the ceremony and to Jeanette St. Oair for the invocation. Our feast was followed by several songs by the Two Hawk Drum. Judy Purdy was the lucky winner this years of the beautiful red Pendelton Chief Joseph style blanket- again furnished by Indian Hills Trading Co. of Petoskey, Michigan. It is interesting to note that in our community, Ghost Suppers (open to the public) did not exist twenty years ago as we observe them in our urban setting today. This resurgence of a time honored Michigan Indian tradition, and taking place in (3) separate feasts speaks well for growing community cultural concern. And incidentally, all three feasts were of the pot-luck variety, a further encouragement of individual concern arid support around organizational planning. *** *** A SPECIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Seemingly, and in spite of careful attention to possible errorswe goofed again! In listing the deceased members over the past almost (30) years, at our Annual Ghost Supper, and in each October issue of the Council Drum News, we learned belatedly that Leona Bush, wife of Henry Bush Sr. had never been listed along with her husband, and Maggie Jackson, who had passed away recently had also failed to be acknowledged.

In fact some fifteen who originally signed up for the $10.00 each trip, (children free), only (7) showed up, but we picked up (2) unregistered people by departure time of 7:15 A.M. Van driver, Ed Seifried, did a most commendable job of "chauffeuring" in our relaxed, unhurried tour. We arrived at VIC KISHIGO'S INDIAN TRADING HILLS CO.'S truly spectacular shop in the late morning after our leisurely, colorfilled autumn trip northward. Shopping at Kishigo's is like wanting to buy every beautiful and authentic art piece in the shop and invariably, and irresistibly spending always a little too much. "Pit Stop" Enroute Following our picnic lunch in a small building next to the store, we headed out to downtown Petoskey' s McCune Art Center for the "Nishnabe Festival" which was featuring an outstanding display of area Odawa Indian culture during October. Returning to "Indian Hills," we picked up Vic who then guided us to the former village site and adjacent burial grounds of the "Burt Lake Band" of Odawa Indians. The village had been located on an elevated point ofland overlooking the beautiful and large Burt Lake, but was burned to the ground in 1903 by land greedy white settlers. No trace of the village remains today except for the burial grounds which is dominated by a huge wood cross bearing the name "GIJIGOWI" (sec photo) pronounced "GISH-GOU-I." and whose name means The Tour Arrives At Indian Hills �+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PAGE 14 NOVEMBER 1990 VOL. 22,NO. 2 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "DA YMAKER," was the last Chief of the Burt Lake Band. We then left this beautiful vista and drove a few miles north to where the "destroyed village" had relocated itself and again another Indian cemetery. The small Indian community today has only a few homes nearby, including Gerald Shananaquet's place) across the road from a small, well-kept, Catholic church. The cemetery was located behind the church (see photo) and is still in use today. Names such as Shananaquet, Martel, Kishigo and many others were to be seen. On leaving Burt Lake we then drove about (10) miles due west and then up some twisting upward climbing backroads to a spot appropriately called "Look Out Mountain" for a truly spectacular vista. Not only could you see much of big Burt Lake, back to the east, including the village sites we had just left, but to the north, 25 miles distant, we could see the beautiful white towers of the Mackinac Bridge gleaming above the horizon in the late afternoon fall sunshine. It was a breath taking scene indeed, few of us but for Vic had ever seen or knew it was there. Instead of the circuitous road by which we has ascended, we went down by way of a straight, breath-taking, (see photo), deep rutted dirt trail, of roly-coaster proportions - for a real downhill thrill, but safe descent- thanks to Ed Seifried' s expert handling of our (15) passenger van. We arrived back in Grand Rapids about 9:30 P.M. and as everyone agreed, it was a day well spent - interesting, knowledgeable and happy we all took the time to do it! (Wish you were there!). At Chief Gijigowi Grave *** *** "HEWALKED THE AMERICAS", is a most fascinating book authored by one T. Taylor Hansen, and was published in 1963. Although the book deserves a full review and we hope to do that in the near future, suffice it to say now that the book represents some (30) years of intensive research and travel and comparative study as legend after ancient Indian legend throughout the Americas seem to reveal a commonly related origin among them. Legends that refer to a Prophet that actually walked among the many Indian nations somewhere around 300 A.D., 1,700 years ago. He was known by many names but always attributed to the same powers and always referred to as the Pale One, the fair-skinned one who wore a flowing white robe, was bearded and who's hair sometime seemed to reflect a golden color as did the gold sandals He always wore. To some he was Quetzal-Coatl, to the Seneca he was Pale Hea-Wah-Sah, meaning someone from afar off; Algonquins of the Great Lakes remember Him as the pale Great Master; the Paunee remember Him as Paruxti; the Dakota called him Great Wakena. And although each tribe had a different sounding name, each tribe's �+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ VOL. 22, NO. 2 NOVEMBER 1990 PAGE 15 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ (nation's) name embodied the similarity of-fair-skinned, pale, white robed like dawn light and power over wind, water and the power to heal. The legends speak of Michigan copper used by the Toltecs and hardened like steel; of giving the Algonquin Nation the teachings of the Medewiwin Medicine Lodge and the coming of the white man. Indeed the very thought of these great events having influenced Indian legends of the Great Lakes Indians gives much food for thought. * * * * * * �••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• PAGE 16 NOVEMBER 1990 VOL. 22, NO. 2 LOUIS PONTIAC,(CIDPPEWA) DIES. We have been saddened by the news of Louis' death last night, (November 16, 1990). Louis was about 91 or 92 years old, and was a Honorary Life member of our Grand Valley American Lodge. Although this news, by way of this newsletter will reach you late, for the record, the funeral was held at Faith N azerene Church, on East Broadway, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan on Monday, November 19, 1990. The Lodge sent flowers as soon as we received the sad news. With Louis' passing it's almost like closing a final page in our Lodge's book of relationships with our Mt. Pleasant long, long time friends and members. Coming to mind are: LENNI and ELSIE STEVENS, IKE and LUCY PELCHER, MARIE EMERY, ALICE BENNET, MAGGIE JACKSON, ARNOLD SOWMICK, ELI (CHIEF LITTLE ELK) and BETSY THOMAS and now LOUIS PONTIAC. Louis was a deeply religious man, (and incidentally, Betsy Thomas, Mrs. Little Elk, was his sister) who like his brother-in-law never swore and spoke kindly of everyone. He was a quiet and mild mannered person - a good friend always. In recent years he would only go to PowWows on rare occasions and many will reLouis Pontiac member him as a master bead-worker. One of 3-Fires Powwow 1988 his works, of which Jeanette St. Clair and I each own a copy - a medallion with an Eagle Fall and matching bolo and earrings won a national award at a Cleveland Art show some years ago.

I was requested to write this article about our Young Eagles' Project here at Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council and nothing could be better for me to talk about. The Young Eagles is a substance abuse prevention project. The idea was started in January 1990, actually the idea had probably been around for years but we're now in an organized manner. The foundation was started from members of GRITC, DSS and the 4-H organization and with help of Dyer-Ives we started it off with a camp outing in which approximately 20-30 kids participated. Some of the things the kids participate in are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Preparing simple snacks and meals. Education and career development. "Challenge" outings and activities. Native American arts and crafts. Making basic home repairs. Story telling and legends. Repair and make clothing. Native American dance. Native American music. Decision making. Self esteem. Pride in heritage. Membership is open to Native American youth between the ages off 8-13. Meetings are currently being held on Wednesday from 3:30 to 5 P.M. We know there are a lot of Native American youth who could benefit from this experience and we would love to have them join our group. We would also love to have people who are interested in offering their knowledge, experience and wisdom to contact us here at GRITC (774-8331) and ask for Hunter Genia.

A long overdue public thank you for your annual friendship donation of a Pendleton blanket for our Lodge's annual community Ghost Supper. This year, a gorgeous red blanket, (won by member Judy Purdie) raised close to $100.00 towards our 1991 Pow-Wow fund. Again Megwetch Mr. Kishigo, Megwetch. Mr. Kishigo is the grandson of Chief Gijigowi, (Odawa spelling of Vic's family name), who was Chief of the Burt Lake Band of Odawas and is buried near the old village site at Burt Lake. (See related story - Lodge bus trip in this issue). Vic's own achievements include founding and operatingthe INDIANHILLS TRADING CO.,locatedon Harbor Road, near its intersection with US 31, in north Petoskey Michigan. Incidentally his business card locates his place of business on "Indian Hills Reservation." It probably ranks among the finest "all Indian made" top quality stores in the midwest It features extensive fine art originals and prints, baskets, pottery, jewelry, pipes, blankets, stone, wood and bone sculptures, drums, quill-work, special cultural objects, craft and beading supplies and a wide assortment of books on many aspects of North American Indian and Inuit cultures. Although "Indian Hills" stresses local Odawa culture, the trading post's considerable inventory represents tribal arts from all of North America, including the Inuits of the Artie regions. As a former appointee and member of the Governor's Commission on Indian Affairs in Michigan, Vic also maintains an active interest in state-wide "Indian politics," including ongoing settlement and retribution talks with state and federal officials for a just disposition of the Burt Lake Band claims for unjustly confiscated Indian lands back in 1903.

Vic is hopeful of staging his first Pow-Wow in 1991. Vic recently told this writer that maintaining a ''Trader-Stand," even at a few select Pow Wows gets more and more difficult. Although keeping himself in circulation, so to speak, among his many, many Pow-Wow friends, was an enjoyable activity, time has now become a premium saying "Man, I'm just too busy!" Personality-wise, Vic blends easily into any group as just one of the guys. Unpretentious, he enjoys good humor and doesn't in the least flaunt his considerable knowledge and expertise as an Indian art authority. A guy who perllaps appreciates what Grand Valley American Indian Lodge has done for Indians/non-Indians relations in Western Michigan by saying Megwetch each year with his gift of friendship - a blanket - Megwetch from all of us too-we love you Mr. Kishigo! *** *** .

Present were Leonard White, Gilbert Hudson, John Paynter, Robert Miller, Margaret Riecker, Gail Bouwman , Miles Jreffe, Betty McGuire, Robert Risselade, Barry Driggers, Harwood Rydholm, Ray Kooi, Fred Corwin, Norman DesJardins, Howard Kalleward, Sophia Gorham, Dorothy Johnson, William White, and Susan Cobb, who recorded. Mr. Leonard White opened the meeting by welcoming new members , Mr. Driggers, Mr. Jaffe, and Mr . Rydholm. Plans for the survey and directory were reviewed. Progress has been delayed for lack of complete data, but publication is expected in early fall. Ms. Gorham, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Leonard White will meet with Tom Buckman of the Foundation Center in regard to this publication. Computer print-outs were passed around, showing 329 Michigan foundations' assets and grants for either calendar or fiscal 1972. A letter will be sent to these foundations, (only 97 are listed in the 1975 edition of the Foundation Center U1rectory,) including a copy of the Foundation Center print - out, asking them to update the information , and submit a short statement of their purpose , area limits , (if any , ) and application procedures. Ms. Miller suggested adding nonexempt foundations to the Directory. This Directory will serve the Conference of Michigan Foundations in cutting down requests not pertinent to the foundations , and in giving foundations a better relationship with the press and legislators, as well as with grantees. The Survey will include 59 Michigan foundations with assets of $4 million or over and/or grants of $250,000 or over. These 59 foundations will give 90% coverage of all grants in Michigan. Distribution of this dual publication was discussed, and it was the general feeling that all contributors to CMF should receive a free copy, and other copies would be available at $3 to $4. Mrs. Miller suggested including a short paragraph on expenditure responsibility in the survey. Miss McGuire raised the question of the three major foundations contributing the cost of the sruv8 and directory , with no participation by the smaller foundations. Mr. Risselade gave the Treasurer's report, a copy of which is attached to these minutes. Contributions showed an increase ~!P~~t ~~df~~: ;:~o~~wo~ri:~~z~~!~n~h!sAC~~~~~~~~~nr~:I;~~~ti~~s 8 fees up, but numbers down , with a 24% increase in Co nference expenses. �Mr . Paynter gave the report of the Nominating Committee as follows: Chairman: Vice - Chairman: Secretary: Treasurer: Gilbert Hudson Howard Kalleward Sophia Gorham Robert Risselade Executive Committee: officers duly elected and Leonard White and John Paynter William White moved for acceptance of the report, Mr. Kooi seconded, and the motion passes unanimously. Mr. Hudson took the chair for the remainder of the meeting, thanking Leonard White for his work, and promising to convey his thanks and that of others at the luncheon to follow. Discussion followed on the appointment of the staff for the Conference of Michigan Foundations. It was moved and seconded that Sophia D . Gorham be appointed as Executive Secretary. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Gorham then explained the arrangement between CMF and Foundation Services, Inc., the company of which she is President. The Budget for the 1975-76 Conference Year was discussed. It was pointed out that when CMF becomes a non-profit corporation, it will qualify for bulk mailing rates. Ms. Gorham also mentioned that all travel and expenses for conferences are cleared through the executive committee. Mr. Hudson directed the discussion toward anticipated income, and the memorandum on "Expanding Our Financial Base." It is evident that broadened support is needed . Ways of contacting foundations and banks not represented were discussed. A statement summarizing the purpose, goals, and past and future actions of CMF was suggested for personal approaches. Steering Committee members volunteered to contact those foundations with which they were familiar. Materials for personal contact will be provided shortly. Mr. Risselade suggested de-emphasizing the Annual Conference in these materials, and emphasizing other aspects of CMF. Returning to the Budget, Mr. Risselade moved that the budget as written be accepted. The motion was seconded and approved. The resolutions concerning fiscal management (attached) were discussed. Mr. William White moved for their acceptance, Mr . DesJardins seconded, and the motion was carried. The next order of business was the review of the proposed Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. Mr. Leonard White answered questions about the necessity to include the fee schedule in the Bylaws, and explained the history of the preparations to incorporate. As mandated at the Second Annual Conference in Ann Arbor, incorporation proceedings will be initiated when the Conference has fifty contributors for two consecutive years. It was anticipated �that there would be fifty contributors before the next Steering Committee meeting. Mr. Des Jardins moved that the Executive Committee be empowered to file for incorporation as soon as the fiftieth contribution is received, without waiting for the Steering Committee meeting. The motion was seconded and carried. The necessity for legal counsel to review the Articles and Bylaws was discussed, and Mr. Jaffe offered to do this with the Executive Committee. Mr. Jaffe suggested that the membership of the Board section be re - written to include up to 10% of the membership to be persons not otherwise qualified as members. Associa te membership was discussed . Mr. Rydholm suggested that an organization might become an associate member by application, payment of a $10 fee, and approval of the Steering Committee. Mrs. Miller suggested that Article VIII, Section (e) of the Articles of Incorporation might read" . .. to suc h organization s described in Section 501(c)(3) or a public organization described in 509(a}(2 o r 3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 , ... " Discussion of the 1976 Conference centered around location and date. The Kalamazoo Center Inn prevailed as the favored location , and late February or ear ly March as the time. The Executive Committee will make the final decision, meeting at Kalamazoo on May 28 or 29, as empowered by a vote of the Steering Committee. Length of the Conference was discussed. The consensus of conferees at Troy was for a l i day meeting. Mr . William White mentioned the Conference of State Attorneys General, asking if foundation should be represented. The consensus of opinion was yes , an d Mr. White was asked to share the report from the Matt Foundation controller, who is currently attending the Conference. The meeting was adjourned at 12:43PM. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A private foundation is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization, with funds and program managed by its own trustees or directors, and established to aid social, educational, charitable, religious, or other activities serving the common welfare, primarily through the making of grants. Corporate and community foundations and charitable trusts are included. A charitable trust is a trust set up for the benefit of the public, usually setting out a defined charitable purpose for an undetermined number of beneficiaries. What Is Not a Private Foundation? Excluded are organizations which bear the name "foundation" but whose primary purposes are other than the awarding of grants; for example, making general appeals to the public for funds; acting as trade associations for industrial or other special groups; or which are restricted by charter solely to aiding one or several named institutions; or which function as endowments set up for special purposes within colleges , churches, or other organizations and are governed by the trustees of the parent institution. How Many Foundations Are In Michigan? What Is Their As et Value and How Much Do They Grant to Charity? There are an estimated 26 ,000 foundations in the United States, with 831 of them known to be situated in the State of Michigan . These 83 1 foundations had an asset value in 1972* of $2,408,866,000 and made grants in that year of $120,417,000. Table I, compiled by the Foundation Center, gives a breakdown of these figures: Table I Number of Foundations Asset Category Percent Assets (in thousands) Grants (in thousands) over $I million $200,000 to $1 million under $200,000 97 178 556 11.7 21.4 66.9 $2,307,679 75,033 26,154 $105,182 9,608 5 ,627 Total 831 100.0 $2,408,866 $120,417 It is interesting to note that almost 67% of all Michigan foundations have assets of under $200,000. The great bulk of the assets held and grants made are by the 97 foundations having assets of over $1 million. A further breakdown of the assets and expenditures for those foundations follows in Table II .

In the United States, 38 foundations have assets over $100 million. Five of these are of Michigan origin, including the largest ofal1 U.S. foundations , The Ford Foundation, which now is headquartered in New York City. (See Table IV.)

Community foundations are characterized by multiple sources of funding from many donors . Expenditures primarily benefit a limited geographical area. The governing body of a community foundation generally represents broad community interests. Often small private foundations look to the community foundations in their areas for advice and coordination in their grant-making activities , and in recent years many small private foundations have turned over their assets to community foundations. In so doing , the private foundation may retain its identity of name , but avoid the costs and constraints of private foundation status. The community foundations are of growing importance not only as professional grant-making organizations, but as flexible means for administering many different kinds of charitable funds for the benefit of local comm unities. One of the very first community foundations in the entire nation was founded in Michigan in the early 1920's. However , its trustees adhered to a philosophy of "receiving and administering funds bequeathed to it" without actively pursuing the development of endowments and co rpus monies. Since the Tax Reform Act of 1969, it has been superseded by a new organization . Otherwise , with two notable exceptions, Michigan has not been in the forefront in community foundation development. The exceptions are the Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids Foundations which rank I Oth and 18th nationally in size. Six Michigan community foundations have assets of over $1 million and make grants of at least $500,000 annually. (See Table VI.)

Corporate foundations are classified as private foundations under the tax law, but are closely tied to the parent company which created them. Ordinarily company officers serve as trustees. Sometimes annual grants are equal to or exceed assets , although a few company-sponsored foundations have substantial endowments. It is not uncommon for a corporate or a company-sponsored foundation to assume the responsibility for the parent company's corporate giving in cities in which offices, production or service facilities , or retail or distribution outlets are located. There are nine Michigan company-sponsored foundations having assets of over $1 million and/or making grants of at least $500,000 annually. (See Table VII.)

Who Benefits? Foundations are characterized bv both the flexibility and diversity of their grant-making activities. Another characteristic is that requests made to foundations vastly exceed their funding capabilities, thus forcing their trustees to define specific programmatic and geographic areas in which requests will be considered, with the automatic declination of grant requests outside the prescribed areas . A study has been made of the grant-making patterns of 54 foundations which accounted for over 80 percent of the dollar amount of all grants made in Michigan by Michigan foundations in 1972**. Since the analysis is based upon only one year's grants , the figures may not necessarily be repr~ntative of the continuing pattern of giving by Michigan foundations generally nor by any particular foundation. They do 11elp illustrate , however , the necessity for potential grantees carefully doing their homework in arriving at the proper decisions as to which foundations are more likely to give favorable considerations to specific requests. Programmatically , the $46 ,225,356 granted to support Michigan educational , health and social welfare programs by these 54 foundations in 1972-73 was divided as follows: 38.0% $17,563,349 Education 15.4 7,119,028 Health 4,270,995 9.3 Humanities 896,299 1.9 Religion 2.0 939,307 Science 15 ,436,378 33.4 Social Welfare $46 225 ,356 100.0% * Actually a private foundation but for the purpose of this study, treated as a community foundation because of its general intent. **The tax year which for each foundation began in 1972. Many foundations have tax or fiscal years beginning July 1, September 1, etc. Thus the year of study was 1972-73, for which many tax returns were not due to the IRS until as late as May, 1974. -38- �The table on pages 62-66 details both the dollar and percentage amounts for each of the 54 foundations for each of the six programmatic areas. It is interesting to note th:lt Education with $ 17,563,349 and 38.0% of grants and Social Welfare with $ 15 ,436,378 and 33 .4%, each received more grants than all the other four categories combined. Analysis of these expenditures indi cates the concerns of private foun dations for the problems of minorities and other needy segments of today's society, as well as their recognition of the need for restructuring and strengthening the programs of the social service agencies in both urban and rural Michigan. Twenty of the 54 Michigan foundations expended more money in the social welfare field in Michigan during 1972-73 than in any of the other five programmatic areas, while Education was the principal focus of the grants of 19 foundations. For eight of the foundations the principal focus was Health, while the Humanities and Religion each received the principal interest of four foundations. In analyzing the data there are no significant findings as to the effect size or geographic location may have on emphasis Michigan foundations place upon these six programmatic areas. During the year of this study ( 1972-7 3) 6 1 grants by non-Michigan foundations to Michigan institutions and agencies totaling 530,222,724 were also analyzed and showed the following results: Education Health Humanitie Religion Science Social Wei fare 5 I ,874.290 25,957,000 92,500 200,000 I ,442,834 656,000 6 .2% 85.8 0.3 0.7 4 .8 2.2 530,222 ,724 100.0% These figures are undoubtedly atypical , in that they included a substantial payment by the Ford Foundation on a multi-million dollar commitment to the llenry Ford Hospital in Detroit. How Much Money Goes to Private Non-Governmental Organizations and How Much Money Goes to Public Government Institutions? Much has been written in recent years about the necessity of maintaining the pluralistic system which has been so much the hallmark of our American way of life. Foundations play a vital role in helping to strengthen the private sector with the great bulk of their grants being directed to non-government organizations. Analysis of over 80 percent of the dollar vo lum e of grant s by Michigan foundations to Michigan institutions in 1972-73 indicates that 533,423,680 or 72.3% were made to non-government organizations with 512,80 l ,676 or 27 .7"f going to governmental institutions, such as our state supported colleges and universities. Further analysis of the grants indicates a tendency for the smaller foundations to give proportionately more of their grants to private non-governmental agencies than for the larger foundations. as illustrated by the following: 1972-73 Total Giving in Michigan Under 5100,000 in grants 5100,000 to 51 millinn 5 I million to 52 million Over 52 million Total of Grants % to Private Agencies (non -gave rnmen tal) 388,579 I I ,7 I 5,948 7,852,546 26,268,283 90.3 % 89.8 81 .4 61.5 No. of Foundations 7 35 6 6 5 54 $46,225,356 - The individual analyses for the 54 foundations is on page 65, Appendix D.2. -39- -- 72.3% % to Public In stitutions (government) 9.7% 10.2 18.6 38.5 -- 27.7% �u APPENDIX A. 1-a LISTING OF DIRECTORY OF MICHIGAN FOUNDATIONS ARRANGED BY CITY (OUT-STATE) ADRIAN ALLEGAN ALPENA Adrian Foundation.
