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

She then worKed with Ruthann Bailey, as secretary aide for Ed White Pigeon, Director of the Council at that time. Her next job was here who is responsible for that of receptionist here at the Council and then she moved into TURTLE TALK as Peterson - an individual so unique that it's going tobe difficult to put her on paper!

She comes i.n the person of one - Joe Ann At that time, Moose Pamp and Kathy Genereaux were the editors. When they left the Tribal Council has an "Auntie Mame," but I think thatts just 4 �about as close as I can get. And we do love her!!! She arrived here as part of a .genie-kit, and pooofed out of a bottle!!! No, that•s not right - she drifted in on billowing gossamer clouds! Doggone? I guess that's not really the.way that it happened, either, but it sure seems like it! In actuality, I guess she just walked through the door, but then Joe Ann doesn't just walk through a door. She-swoops in, or floats in or something. At any rate, she's here, and she arrived here {amidst a fanfare of trumpets?) as part of the Council's Adult Education Program. September 1977 was the date, and I don't think the Council When has been the same since. she first started, her teaching duties consisted of typing and filing, then expanded to office proceeCiures 1 and soon sbe wi.11 until the age of 13. At that time, her family moved to Kalamazoo> and that is where she graduated from Central High School. Kalamazoo is also where she attended College. She did attend Michigan State breifly, but didn't like it, so then went to Kellogg Community College {kornflake U). Western Michigan was next, and that is where she received her B.3. in Education, majoring in Speech, History and English. She is currently working toward her Masters. Wtile at Westernt she worked on 43 plays 1 as constume assistant and make-up artist. In 28 of them, she performed. Since leaving College, she has done plays in Saginaw, Sister Lakes, Indianapolis, and Civic Theatre in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids as well aa Circle in the Park, here, and has done everything from Shakespeare to Neil Simon. Our lady from Never-NeverLand, says so.me of her favorite parts have been Maria (The Tw8lveth Night), Honeyt CWho 1 s a~raid of Virginia ~oolf), and Pegeen Mike (Playooy o~ tne Western World}, under thP direction of Vincent Dowling from Abbey Theatre of Dublin. s.be hcts a few special words to say about Sophocles' Oediput Rex be teaching use of office machines.

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

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

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

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

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

We kriew it was a few blocks to the bridc;e but ha(1 no idea just how far we would really be walking, so bravely, the four Musketeers set out on their adventure!!

(There were actually trees with "square 11 tops in tJ1a t park. ) It was all very (-:'lnchan ting Eke something out of a fair7 tale! I was back in Canada again. (Just a. week a.co today I was :Ln Stratford, Ontario with the teachers and students from the Lexington Adult Learning Center.) Restedt ...:e set forth once again on our adventure. Walking along the pat"k 1 Eloise suddenly blurted out, "I've seen this place in a dream!" We implored her to tell us more. "T dreamed about this place, and we came up or: a restaurant here named FISHERWOJl.1AN AND FISHERWOMAN 1 S FRIENDS, Inside the restaurant I was at a table with people warm in atmosphere - and a deep bond between us. 11 F'ascinated,we continued our walk. Shortly thereafter, we came upon a restaurant. Eloise shouted, "That's it!" We looked, but the restaurant was not called FISHERWOMAN AND FISHERWOMAN 1 S FRIENDS. "But that's still it, 11 declared Elotsef Ascending the terrace toward the restaurant, what should we see, but a fountain made up of four fish, water streaming out of their mouths. No one needed to say anything. Silently, we all threw a coin into the fountain, made a wish and continued our journey. Since our arrival in Niagara Falls, this one particular thing held our interest. It could not help but attract our atten- satH.':f;r r-eady .for ta1;:e oft." The s&ucer, \V<.,;·· actually a round revolving restaurant 1 perched atop this long slim 11 necdle 11 and the base held an amusement park.

We had ce:nqu<::rE;d half our mission. (The othtH' half would. be to scale this ht1.J it} After a S·Jf, ficent rest period 1 we then endeavorEd '.::,:, climb the hill so that we migtt fins_lly reach the !>pot where the Skylon stood :010 "majestically." (Pant! Puff!) Feeli.ng a b:i..t triumphant, we finally marie it! Darkness was upon us as we entered a aoor at the base of this huge structure, Insl.Cle, we found three levels. The first level housed a merry-go-round with flick-ering lights and many booths w:Lth novelt.ic: to entertain you, much as you might find ;:,· a regular amusement park. The next two levels were more of the same. Catching Eloise's eye, was a booth wherein Madam rosa was ensconsed • Madam Hosa was a fer'" tune teller. However, at this point-we were really more interested in find:Lng place to eat. All that walking had given < us big appetites!!! We found a cozy littl• placE": called the Lady Bug. Eloise ordered a turkey sandwich and homemade mushroom soup (wbicb we all sampled and found ck Ucious). Kathy and Dora had roast beef' sandwiches (with red wine for Do:ra~ naturally) and I had a salami sandwicb. Yunrrny ~ Leaving the Lady Bug rested and happy, ·,,w explored the base of the Skylon some more, looking for the place where they take TY<l' picture going over the falls in a barreJ We found it, and decided to all get in tno barrel for tho picture..

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

Tl1ore shall be no profanity around '.::. drum and no person shall drink alcoholic beverages nor approach the drum if they have been drinking. Humility is a must. Any per.son who sits at the drum must feel :i.n his heart tha l1c is no better than any other person sitting around him. DANCE ARENA Dance arenas can be any open ground large enoueh to comfortable accomodate all the partici· pants and observers . The audience or observers may sit on lawn chai r s or bleachers if pro· videti, but must not sit on the benches pcovtdE~d for the dancers . Befoce any activities ha.; started, the dance <:trena has been "consecrated" for the duration of the powwow and organiz actl vi ties, including games foi~ the children, may be conducted within the dance arena. 1 It is the job of the Arena Director to see that all dancers are comfortable and that the s:Lngers and dancers have water and that their needs are fille d . He also has to obligation of maintaining the sanctity of the arena durj_ng the powwow period. He keeps the audience informed of the activities of the day. GIVE~AWAYS OR SPECIALS The giving of presents is a method of honoring individua1s or groups among the I ndian peop: The recognition is more important than the materlal value of the gift . The reasons for h:::' ing a give-away are many and varied. The process uGually requires a considerable amount c t1me and can become somewhat boring to an audience . The give-away is an extremely importa1 part of being Indian, and the entertainment of an audience is always secondary, therefore, a special or give-away must take priority over the wishes of an audtence. The honoring of friends and relatives is a very prominent part of the powwow and proper dtgnity must be ma: tained. As always, there are certain procedures which must be followed fol' both partici.pai and observers. When the song is sung and tne dance begins, observance must be maintained < to the leaders (a dancer must not infringe c,n the lineup of the leaders by puslaing in or d:mc:ing p2st the le&ders. ) The song is danced around the drum during the "tal.J. 0 of the soi ;-::.11 dancers face the drum and dance in place.

This Tracking system was introduced to us by the Federal RepresentatJv~s from Washington O.C., Mr. Willard Lambert and Mr. Joe Meadows •. It is designed to aide in a better, more accurate. filing system on all participants of the CETA programs. We feel the system is a good one and will benefit the Grand Rapids Inter-Tribal Council in possibly their total filing system of all programs administered thru the InterTribal office. The Workshop turned out very well with Native American sponsors from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, the Region 5 area. We had an enjoyable time and met some very nice people from these other areas. The weather was cool , and our flight was a little rocky on our way over, but other than that everything went well while we were there~ But, of <:0urse things were different on our journey back to Grand Rapids. Our flight from Indian<lpolis was an hour late in taking off 1 which also made us miss our transfer flight out of Detroit. This put us behind another hour. We were lucky to get another flight out the same night or we would have been in Detroit overnight. The waiting was tirf.ng and frustrating, but we f.inally landed at the Kent County Airport about 8 PM, two hours later than scheduled. Then we waited patiently at the airport for �a ride home. All this .made the trip memorable to us and also tested our patience. Thanks to Roger for taking us out to the Airport on Monday at noont and for sending his chauf~ered limo out to pick us up Wednesday night when we arrived. Me-gwetch Uncle!

Smith on the· Six Nations Indian Reservation in Ontario, Canada; he was given the name Silverheels by a Mohawk tribal elder. He used it as his stag~ name, legally changing his name to Silverheels nine years ago." Curio~ity, rather than being a "believer" ~'dlsbelievert 11 prompted me to go into the study _of astrology seven years ago·.

And as I have alr eady stated, afte~ seven years of investigation and observatioo I am.throughly convinced that astrology is indeed VALID! "Among his other movie credits were 'Key Largo;' 'True Grit,' 'The Man who Loved Cat Dancing,' and 'The Will Rogers Story.'" to "Last Augest, Silverheels became the fir~t American Indian to have his star set in Hollywood's Walk of Fame." Jay founded 'the indian Actor's Workshop in Hollywood in 1960. He was always a strong supporter of the Indian cause. He will be greatly missed. . Astrology has been invaluable to me as far as gaining insight into my own personaHty and also in helping me really understand my children, family and friends better. Although the~e are many more skeptics when it comes to astrology, I am happy to report that there are some enlightened scientists, astronomers among them, as well as educators, psychiatrists, and psychologists who are using it in their work. .
