Eldueator Says PSU and the
Indian Community Need to
Discover Each Other
Joseph Sampson...Luncheon
speaker at N. C. Indian Edu-
For Joseph Sampson, a
reu graduate who taught in
the Robeson County Schools
System from 1936-56 before
moving to Cleveland, 0,
where he continued to teach
last Thursday was a
homecoming experience.
He was the speaker at the
luncheon of the two-day N.C.
Lidian Educational Policy
Symposium at PSU where
many of his former students-
now teachers or educational .
administrators-gathered to
hear his remarks.
Sampson mixed humor with
seriousness in his talk, and
the serious remarks called for
action. He emnhasizeH the
cational Policy Symposium at
PSU.
relationship between I*SU and
the hidian community. His
speech drew a standing ova
tion at its end.
“The Indian community
needs to discover E’SU,” said
Sampson. ‘‘PSU is sitting in a
unique situation. It is
accessible to most of our
hidian people. KU fihs a
highly trained'^culty and
staff and is a tremendous
reservoir of knowledge. It can
be of great assistance to the
Indians of Robeson County.”
But in the same vein,
Sampson injected: ‘‘I*SU also
needs to discover the Indian
people--and that the Indian
community is ah excellent
place in which to live and
raise your children. PSU
needs to interact with this
multiculture situation. As far
as race is concerned, voting
along racial lines is ghetto
politics.”
Sampson said this Indian
community “needs to fee! the
presence of PSU staff and
faculty members and students
in our churches as well as in
our banks.”
Sampson, who is now
retired, said PSU ‘‘can pro
vide a living classroom for
greater social reform,” add
ing “there should be no
students from this county who
feel# thev don’t belong.”
In what he described as an
“educational partnership,”
Sampson said KU needs to
get involved in the school
system. He said he knew of no
other institution in such a
situation ‘‘with these kind of
resources.”
‘‘reU needs to work in this
school system to help in the
racial diversity,” stated
Sampson. ‘‘If students learn
to live together, you will have
no problems as adults.”
In conclusion, Sampson
reminded his audience that
I*SU was originally dedicated
to Indians. ‘‘It should never
lose sight of its original
purpose--to educate Indian
voi'*h.”
His advice to the N.C.

Tribal Chief
Who are the Tuscaroras
and where did they come
from?
Culture and tradition along
with language all support the
belief that the Tuscaroras
migrated to North Carolina
from the Great Lakes region,
which is the Iroquoian occu
pation area.
THe Iroquois People, which
include the Tuscaroras, havt
Jways been enemies of the
.\lgonguin People. The diffe
rent Iroquois tribes would
fight and bicker between
themselves leaving themsel
ves easy prey for their Algon-
guin enemies. All this took
place in the Great lAkes
area of the United States and
Canada. The Iroquis of this
area where the Mohawk
Seneca, Onondaga, Oneida.
Cayuga and Tuscarora.
The Thscaroias left this'
Great Leakes area and mi
grated to Nortii Csrtdina,
remaining five Iroquois tribes
in order to .coinbat the
Algonguin h'arrassament of i
their individual tribes, united
into one confederacy,
doing this, they were able to
defeat the Algonquins and
become a great peo|rie con
trolling the Great IaIks area.
They became the guardians of
peace throughout the woods
of eastern North America.*
While this was going on in
the North, The tuscaroras
migrated to Nmth Candina in
three different bands or
tribes, the Kau-lh-Noh, Aka-
wentcaka, und Skuaren.
These three tribes united and
fonned the IXiscama lAgue
of Confederecy. Unde* the
Confederacy the TVsearords
