Cariliia Ihian ViibfM I Pembroke, NC Robeson County I f "Building communicative bridges in a tri-racial setting" H Bush issues proclamation designating 1992 as the Year of the American Indian President Bush issued the following proclamation March 2, designating 1992 as the Year of the American Indian. Half a millennium ago, when European explorer* amazed, their compatriots with stories of a New World, what they actually described was a land that had long been home to America's native peoples. In the Northeast part of this country and long the Northwest coast, generations of tribes fished and hunted; others farmed the rich soils of the Southeast and Great Plains, while nomadic tribes roamed and foraged across the Great Basin. In the arid Southwest, native peoples irrigated the desert, cultivating what land they could. Each tribe formed a thriving community with its own customs, traditions, and system of social order. The contributions that Native Americans have made to our Nation's history and culture are as numerous and varied as the tribes themselves. Over the years, they have added to their ancient wealth of art and folklore a rich legacy of service and achievement Today we gratefully recall Native Americans who helped the early European settlers to survive m a strange new land; we salute the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II and all those Native Americans who have distinguished themselves m service to our country; and we remember those men and women of Indian descent-such as the great athlete, Jim Thorpe andour 31st Vice President, Charles Curtis?who have installed pride m others by reaching the heights of their respective fields. We also celebrate, with special admiration and gratitude, another enduring legacy of Native Americans: their close attachment to the land and s tie exemplary stewardship of Us natural resources. In virtually every realm of our national lilfe, the contributions of America's original inhabitants and their descendants continue. During 1999, we will honor this country's native peoples as vital participants in the history of the United States. This year gives us the opportunity to recognize the special place that Native Americans hold m our society, to affirm the right of Indian tribes to exist as sovereign entities, and to seek great mutual understanding and trust Therefore, we gratefully salute all American Indians, expressing our support for tribal self determination and assisting with efforts to celebrate and preserve each tribe's unique cultural heritage. I The Congress, by Public Law 102-188, has designated as the "Year of the American Indian" and has auithorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation tn observance of this year. Now, therefore, I George Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim 1992 as the Year of the American Indian. I encourage Federal, State and local government officials, interested groups and organiza tions, and the people of the United States to observe this year with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of March, m the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. Democratic Party convention scheduled % JoAnn Lockiear, Chairperson for the Kobe ion County Democratic Party has announced that the County Convention will be held on April 4, 1982, at 10:00 a.m. Hie convention will be held at the Robeson County Courthouse in Courtroom HI. Heading the convention's agenda will be the selection of delegates to the state and congressional district conventions. Hie delegates will also be electing members to represent Robeson County on various District Executive Committees. "Hie County Convention is also the second in a series of steps that will elect delegates to the Democratic National Convention which will be held July 13-16, 1992. Hie delegates selected to the Congressional District Conventions and the State Convention will elect North Carolina's delegation to the National Convention," Chairman Locklear said. She is also pleased to announce that Dr. Joseph Oxendine, Chancellor of Pembroke State University, will be the keynote speaker at the convention. "We are expecting a good turnout of Democrats across the COunty to be in attendance and look forward to a great year ahead for the Robeson County Democratic Party." Native artists will answer: What happens after 1992? WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 1992? Hie American Indian Community House Gallery, 708 Broadway, 2nd Floor, New York City, is proud to present six distinguished Native American artists, who are using their work to answer the most asked question in Native America today: "What happens after 1992?" After being bombarded with questions and opinions about the 500th anniversary of the arrival of Columbus in the Western Hemisphere, and what is being done to commemorate it (or decommemorate it, as the case may be) Native American artists find themselves faced with a full year of the same hollowness that theyf eel annually around Thanksgiving. Their input is solicited and then rejected, theya re asked to particiapte but not to think or feel, and when it is all over they are expected to drift back to wherever it was they came from, until they are dusted off for the next pageant or parade. The reactions to the 1992 aifhiversary have been many, but the question that remains is whether the interest and high-minded actions of the non-Native population signify the beginnings of lasting change in their attitudes toward Native people and art, of if, as many suspect, it is just a fad, a fly-by-night expression of superficiid guilt that will be denied again when the issues involved are no longer right in front of society's face. The artists included in the program, Pablita Abeyta (Navajo), Noma Choe (Navajo), Aaron Ervin (White Mountain Apache), Mary McKamey (Paiute, Blackfoot, Apache), Ryan Rice (Mohawk), and Lilliam Timbres (Apache), have created the work in this show for a long term efft 1992 is often called a new beginning What Happens After 199Sf if proof positive that it will not be the end.
