Clockwise from far lower left: A email group of urban
Indiana and their friends protest outside the Indian
Arts Expo Oct. 20-23. The group protested what they
called exploitation of Indian culture by the sponsors
of the expo, U S West and United Arts of Omaha. The
sponsors used Indian art for their own benefit and
refused support to Nebraska Indians in times of need,
the protestors alleged: Tonya Sperry, 9. looks on as
Hanncny Handy, 1?. blows a bubble while waiting for
the grand march to begin at the powwow; An Indian
dances during the grand march at the powwow in
Omaha.
