Indians celebrate culture in Pow Wow The Michigan Daily - Monday, April 14, 1986 -Page 3 Student group attempts to produce weekly TV show By EVE BECKER Amongst the flurry of feathers and the pounding rhythms of small drums, Native Americans from across the Great Lakes region met last weekend for the 14th annual Ann Arbor Pow Wow, a community and student celebration of American Indian culture and heritage. The event, sponsored by the Native American Student Association and Minority Student Services, is one of the many Pow Wows held throughout the country in the spring and summer when Native Americans meet friends, buy and sell crafts, educate others about the Indian way of life- and most of all, dance. Craftsmen from areas in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Canada came to sell their silver and beaded produc- ts: necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings. Stalls lined the sides of the sports coliseum while in the middle children and adults danced in native dresses in rounds of contests. MIKE DASHNER, who organized the events, said the Pow Wow was similar to an ethnic festival, designed as a University and community celebration of American Indian Culture. He called this "showcase event" a recruitment tool for Univer- sity Native American students. "Once they come out to see the Pow Wow, they see the colorful, powerful culture and become active," Dashner said. 0 "It is a time of celebrating and re- enacting our heritage. You're sharing with other people, meeting new frien- ds, and seeing old friends," said LSA junior Cheryl Peck. "There's a part of it that's a spiritual aspect of what we're doing. It touches a deep chord inside of you," Peck said. THERE ARE 156 Native American students in the University, 104 undergraduates, and 52 graduates. But counting the number of Native American students, said Bob Eckstein of Minority Student Services, is difficult because of the inaccuracies in the process. "This is the one (ethnic group) that is the most problematic," Eckstein said, "with Native Americans the federal definition is quite specific. You have to have one quarter Indian blood and a tribal affiliation," he said. Eckstein said some students had previously identified themselves as "Native American" on University forms because they or their family were born in America. The University is changing its method and asking for tribal affiliation, in an effort to reduce the number of misunderstandings leading to an inflated number. The Native American Student Association also sponsored a law day held Friday, discussing the different aspects of Indian affairs, and problems specific to laws within the Indian community. This was designed to raise consciousness in the law school community of Indian affairs and the relations to the law. (Continued from Page 1) believe that we could use the studio," Hayes said. "We were misinformed. (Schmidt) said that she liked David and me, and thought that we were responsible enough to use the studio." "It was probably our fault, however, that we did not follow the rules, but we thought we had Martha's okay," she said. Despite the problems involved with the production of Jampacked, the students behind the project say they've learned a great deal about broadcasting. LSA SENIOR Jim Schoenberg, the script supervisor for Michigan Productions, said part of the problem stemmed from the group's inex- perience. "What we wanted to accomplish in one term was not feasible without pre-planning," Schoenberg said. "I've got an idea now of how to produce a show. We learned from our mistakes ... we delegated our tasks too much." With Schoenberg and Pascal graduating, Hayes hopes to continue Michigan Productions. She said she will try to solidify the group's internal organization. ALTHOUGH it is not certain: whether Jampacked will ever find its way to local living rooms, Hayes said she's still optimistic about the idea. "Just because Community Access didn't help doesn't mean it will die." Honor for Mandela urged Daily Photo by CHRIS TWIGG Summer?

A committee member who spoke on condition of anonymity said the bylaw played a large role in preventing the commit- tee's support. The committee has already sent several recommendations to regents for approval at this week's regents meeting. Hector Delgado, one of the leaders of the Free South Africa Coordinating Committee, said yesterday the group agreed to take some action "to get Shapiro to take us more seriously." But Delgado said the group hadn't decided on what kind of action to take. The regents in January rejected the honorary degrees committee's -i recommendation to give University alumnus Wallenberg the honor because of the bylaw. Wallenberg, who saved the lives of thousands of Hungarian Jews in Nazi Ger- many, was arrested by theSoviet Union and is believed to be dead.

The two men, one of whom was a student, were allowed to leave, even though a charred piece of paper lay next to the shanty. THE SHANTY was built by mem- bers of the Free South Africa Coor- dinating Committee in order to educate people about the South African gover- nment's policy of racial discrimination known as apartheid. The second attack occurred at ap- proximately 4 a.m. yesterday, accor- ding to an engineering junior who spoke on the condition that he not be identified. Two while males ripped the boards off one side of the shanty with their bare hands and turned the shan- ty onto its front, the source said. He said the two men, who wore sweatsuits and "looked like studen- ts," called the shanty "nigger-shack" and "piece of shit" while they at- tacked it. Campus security has not received a report on the second attack, Hill said. A MEMBER OF the Free South African Coordinating Committee guarded the shanty untiltabout 3ta.m. yesterday, according to committee members Barbara Ransby and Hec- tor Delgado. Atout 10 members of the committee repaired the shanty yesterday afternoen. "We plan to continue to repair the shanty every time that it is attacked," Police Notes said Ransby. Ransby said the attacks on the shanty show how important is it to educate people about racism. The latest attacks on the shanty follow several previous attempts to destroy it, including two instances of arson and one instance of a man tearing down the shanty with his bare hands. On campuses around the country, shan; 2s built to protest apartheid have been destroyed, either by university officials, or by conser- vative students. University of Maryland officials tore down three shanties erected on campus by students protesting the University's South Africa-related in- vestments, while Yale University of- ficials vowed to do the same to shan- ties erected on their campus. At the University of California at Berkeley, shanty builders accused members of the Theta Xi fraternity of stealing their shanty, repainting it with the slogan "Golden Bear," and trying to sell it.
