Monday, April 5, 1982 Daily Nebraskan Page 9 Native American meetings slated for this week By Ward W. Tripled III Tlic Nebraska Native American Student Congress, the only organization in the country that includes both high school and college Indian students in membership, will have its third quarterly meeting and first state conference this week at UNL "We're actually doing the work of recruitment for the university," said Jana Ashley, research analyst for the state Indian Commission and technical adviser to the UNL chapter of NNASC, one of 13 chapters in the state. "When wc talk to high school students, most of them are coming here because of what's going on here. By these activities, UNL is saying to the country it cares about its Indian students," Ashley said. NNASC started two years ago to mix Indian college students with high school students. The result, it was hoped, would be an increased college enrollment from Ne braska Indians. "These kids have grown up on reservations and gone to schools that didn't give them much encouragement. These kids have never been told they can be something until Coming in the April 8 &9 Daily Nebraskan UNL Division of Continuing Studies 1982 Summer Reading Program Course Listing Pick up the Daily Nebraskan Thursday or Friday or call Chuck Havlicek at 472-1392 for more information.

Tlic congress meetings will take place during Sharing Week, named so because of the sharing of information be tween the students and the Indian people with others. Among the scheduled activities for the week arc work shops Wednesday through Friday, a speakers symposium Thursday, and a basketball tournament Friday. Keynote speaker The keynote speaker Thursday at 1 1 a.m. will be Dr. Ben Keifcl, a former U.S. Congressman and U.S. Commis sioner of Indian Affairs. Reifel is currently a consultant to the U.S. Department of the Interior. Like the other speakers, RcifePs speech will address youth and educa tion. The conference will end Saturday with a powwow at 5 p.m. "One thing wc really want emphasized is that this con-.. ferencc is open to everybody," said Lloyd Ware, a coun selor in the UNL Multi-Cultural Affairs Department. Ware is also a technical assistant to the NNASC. Ware and Ashley said that attending the conference should dispel myths about Indians that Ware said many people still believe, "There are a lot of superstitions and myths about Indian people still going around here. People seem to think that Indians can't leave reservations and still live in tee-pees there. Another good one is the fear people have of powwows." Powwows misunderstood Ware said there are no religious dances at powwows, and absolutely nothing taboo about them. Ashley said the powwow is simply a time of friendship and a coming to gether of people. During Saturday's powwow every dance and performance will be explained. Only about 50 UNL students call themselves Native Americans. Ware said he expects that number to double next semester, largely because of the conference. NNASC has a membership of 159 statewide, most of which are expected to come to Lincoln. "This program would not be possible if not for the Lincoln business community, UNL and private dona tions," Ashley said. "Because of them, this program is a reality for Indian youth."
