ocoraing to American Indian student Rick Pille
the week s activities will not only provide a valuable
learning experience for students but will be helpful to
tribal leaders also. It will give leaders an opportunity
to get together and compare notes, he said
All the Nebraska tribal leaders have been invited to
come and discuss problems pertinent to their locale.
The speakers taking part in the three-day program
will discuss Indian problems and theorize possible
solutions to them, Pille said.
Thursday's speakers will include Pulitzer Prize
winning author Scott -Momaday who received the
award for his book "House Made of Dawn." Pille said
the book deals with the clash between the white and
Indian cultures.
Author of "Custer Died For Your Sins" and other
books. Vine Deloria will also give an address
Thursday. Medicine Man Leonard Crow Dog is
scheduled to speak on Indian religion.
The head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs was
invited but can't make it, Pille said. A representative
is being sent from that offie but his name is not
Known ax mis time, he added.
"Representatives from the American Indian
Movement (AIM) are going to be here and I'm sure
that's why he couldn't make it," Pille said. "The
confrontation between AIM leaders and the
representative from the Bureau of Indian affairs
should be one of the highlights of the program," he
added.
AIM is very verbal, pulls no punches and will
confront the Bureau representative with questions for
which he will have no answers. Pille said.
Pille said the recent disturbance at Gordon which
arose after the death of Raymond Yellow Thunder
will probably be discussed by the speakers.
Saturday and Sunday activities will feature singers
and drummers from many different tribes. The
powwcw will start at noon and continue until one
a.m both days.
There will be a dance contest in which anyone can
take part. One thousand dollars in prize money will
be awarded to the winners. The dancers will be
judged for their costumes and proficiency in dancing.
Everyone is invited, Pille said. "Powwows are for
everyone, that's the nature of them."
Indian soup and fry bread will be served free.
