Indian problems
Continued from Page !
Shangreaux taid Women of All Red Nations is one
group working to stop violence in the family. WARN
also works against mass sterilization of Indian women,
she said.'
Many Indian women have been forcibly sterilized,
Shangreaux said. WARN works to intorm tnem oi unuer
handed sterilization procedures that may occur after giv
ing birth or at other times when the woman isn't aware
of what's happening to her, she said.
A factor that helps American Indians solve some
problems is the extended family, Shangreaux said. The
extended family especially helps the single parent because
the parent doesn't have the frustration of raising a child
on his or her won, she said.
Also, the child doesn't suffer from lack of a mother or
father figure, she said.

An old mvth reeardinz the Indian woman's role
that she is a "beast of burden, Shangreaux said. That
myth began when white people saw that Indian women
cultivated crops and worked hard all day, she said.
Because women were regarded as "Mothers of the
Farth," they had some political power in the tribal syst
ems in war and other vital decisions, Phillips said.
"Indian women were sort of forced out of their lead
ership roles by the government officials who refused to
recognize them," Shangreaux said. Sometimes, women
made most of the decisions, then had the men speak to
the governemnt officials, she said.
If decisions were made without the women's opinion,
Indians wouldn't follow them, Shangreaux said. But, she
said, the power women had varied in degree among the
different Indian tribes.
Now Indian women still have influence because they
tend to be the bread-winners of families, Shangreaux said.
A big problem among young Indians leaving the reserv
ation is the conflict between loyalty to their families and
getting a good education, Shangreaux said.
"The pressure to stay among your own is there," she
said.
Young people may want a good education and a
better life for their children, but they also have strong ties
to the reservation, Shangreaux said.
When they get an education elsewhere and return to
the reservation, they must prove to the older Indians that
they haven't lost their Indian identity or lost touch with
their people's problems, she said.
Ribbons distributed
for murdered youths
Green ribbons will be handed out on campus today and
Thursday by UNL black student organizations in recogni
tion of the sympathy for the murdered black children in
Atlanta and their families.
The project is being sponsored by the Big Eight
Council on Black Student Government. The Afrikan Peo
ple's Union will be handing out the ribbons at a booth in
the Nebraska Union, according to President Doreen
Charles.
There's nothing more
revealing than a naked
diamond.
