ones that were done long ago and are
done to a slow beat of the dnim," she
said, “while the fancy dance, some
times called a shawl dance, is fast and
upbeat"
Fremont said besides honoring the
winners of the competition, honors
will also be given to invited guests Joe
Hollowe, a tribal whiphand; Eugene
Papan, a head singer of the Omaha
tribe; and January Bird, the 13-year
old Powwow princess who is of both
the Omaha and Winnebago tribes.
Indian meals prepared by mem
bers of the Lincoln Indian Club will
be made in a traditional way and
served free to participants and observ
ers, she said.
The powwow is in its fifth year and
is important in maintaining Indian
culture and tradition, Fremont said.
“This is our culture and we have to
keep it alive,” she said.
“The powwow will also keep the
kids off the streets and teach them to
respect other people.”
“This is mainly for thfc youth,” she
said, “but it is also a social gathering
and a chance for everyone to get
together and feel good about them
selves.”
Lincoln Indian youths who have
organized a gift shop company which
is in operation at the Indian Center
through a Junior Achievement pro
gram wdl also have a booth at the
powwow, said Nora Peregine, JA
program coordinator.
They will display and try to sell
some or the gift shop’s works, which
include bone and wood carvings,
beadwork and intricate mirror work,
she said.

A Junior Achievement gift
shop venture at the Lincoln Indian
Center will benefit from an annual
powwow sponsored by the Lin
coln Indian Club this weekend.
Gift shop employees will man a
booth at the powwow, just west of
the center at 1100 Military Road,
Friday through Sunday.
The gift shop, which sells arts
and crafts of high school students
and other artists, is the second
junior achievement project in
Nebraska for American Indians.
The giftshop is being staffed by
one high school student and Urban
Indian Achievement members this
month with plans to continue op
erations and add student staffers,
said Nora Peragine, program coor
dinator.
The objects for sale include
American Indian-made bone and
wood carvings, beadwork and in
tricate mirror work.
This venture is made possible
through UIA, which is a Native
American Entrepreneurial Project
funded by a $55,366 federal grant
from the Administration for Na
tive Americans and more than
$20,000 in contributions from the
Lincoln Indian Center, Inc.
The gift shop project is the
second junior achievement ven
ture in Nebraska for American
Indian high school students. A
project last year involved sales of
packages of notecards adorned
with artwork by three local Ameri
can Indian artists.
The first project resulted in
payments of $1.36 to each of the
58 shareholders, along with the
original $1 per share they in
vested.
Student participants in the proj
ect get more than jusi financial
profits from sales out of participat
ing because they receive “real and
invaluable experience/’ Peragine
said.
Fawn Mitchell, a 19-year-old
Lincoln High School student who
was president of last year’s com
pany, agreed with Peragine.
‘fAs with any business, we
encountered problems and faced
some difficult decisions — all of
which gave us insights and practi
cal knowledge about business and
economic systems,” she wrote.
The gift shop project will give
students the same* experience,
Peragine said.
