The Maze Kute singers of the Santee Sioux tribe perform on the Capitol steps Tuesday
afternoon. The performance was part of a rally held in protest of recent re-enactment of a Native
American raid in Oak.
Oak ambush re-enactment decried
By Dionne Searcey
Senior Reporter .
The thumping of a drum preceded
a rally Tuesday where an ethnic mix
of cultures protested a re-enactment
of Native American attacks on Ore
gon Trail pioneers.
About 60 teachers, students, gov
ernment officials and passers-by stood
protest d^Oak, Neb., event tKat de
picts an ambush on pioneers by Na
tive Americans.
The protesters stood between two
etchings commemorating Native
Americans’ part in Nebraska’s histo
ry.
Protesters carried signs with mes
sages such as, “Oak, respect yourself’
and, “Reenactment of killing is sick”
The Lincoln rally, which was spon
sored by the Nebraska Indian Inter
tribal Development Corp., prepared
protesters for a later rally where they
will meet with citizens.
Shawn Bordeaux, president of
University of Nebraska Inter-tribal
Exchange, said the reenactment was a
mockery of his Native American cul
ture.
“People aren ’t sensitive to who we
are,” Bordeaux said.
Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha
agreed that Oak citizens weren’t re
specting the Native American culture
in the Aug. 22 event where spectators
had to pay to watch the re-enactment.
“I see a group of white people who
are highly insensitive trying to com
mercialize a tragic situation,” Cham
bers said.
“I bet they’d be chafed if African
Americans and Native Americans
came to Oak to do a re-enactment of
(Ku Klux) Klan activities in that area,”
Chambers said. “That’s a part of white
history.”
But Richard Crees, a tour guide at
the Capitol, said the re-enactment sim
ply was a reflection of history.
“If you’re going to condemn what’s
going on in Oak, you’ re going to have
to condemn any Civil War re-enact
ment.”
hair hosts Earth testival

This year’s Nebraska State Fair
will feature its first-ever recycling
and environmental awareness pro
gram.
The Earthbound Festival will cel
ebrate Nebraska’s natural resources
and agriculture, said Jane Poison,
executive director of Keep Nebraska
Beautiful.
“We want to heighten awareness
of natural resources and peoples’ re
sponsibility to the environment in an
entertaining wav,” Poison said.
Poison said the festival would fea
ture booths displaying companies’
recycled products, interactive projects
with computer games and live enter
tainment.
Country singer John Michael Mont
gomery will headline the entertain
ment during his Sept. 3 performance
at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Montgomery will perform with re
nowned Canadian artist Michelle
Wright.
Other attractions will include the
covered wagon that represented Ne
braska in the Oregon Trail’s 150th
Anniversary, a display of alternative
ly fueled vehicles and an environ
mental quilt.
Poison said Earthbound Festival is
also a push for a litter-free fair. Poison
said about 500 volunteers were need
ed to pass out pocket ashtrays and to
man recycling bins. In return for their
service, volunteers get free admission
to the fair, free parking and a T-shirt.
Poison said she expected positive
reaction to the festival.
“I think people are interested in
doing everything that is environmen
tally safe and clean,” she said.

Nebraska is among the leaders of
the recycling effort, Poison said. Ef
forts on the East and West coasts have
tapered off recently because of unsta
ble recycled-product markets.
But Nebraska, by progressing slow
ly in its environmental efforts, has
avoided flooding its “green markets.”
Poison said another major objec
tive of the festival was to convince
people to “close the loop,” not only by
recycling, but also by buying recy
cled products.
Agricultural Hall will act as head
quarters for the festival, and an open
air tent will provide entertainment
throughout the fair. Acts will include
Woody Woodpecker from Universal
Studios, Nebraska Historian Robert
Manly and a robotics display.
VtyLuehdfthe funding—in the form
of money, recycling bins and liners—
will be provided by the James River
Corporation, a national paper compa
ny with offices in Omaha and Chica
go.
Poison said those interested in vol
unteer work should call the Keep
Nebraska Beautiful office.
