- Overwhelmed but happy ...
I have always had more projects to do than Godzilla has
muscles. And I have always had more irons in the fire thap 1
have fire to test there mettle therein, and I always have had
more to do than I have had the time to do them within. I stay
busy. Amen!
I am going to prioritize. Famous last words!
In other words, I'll see you next week. Right now, I am on
my way to practice in our outdoor drama, Strike at the Wind!
which begins July 7 at the Adolph L. Dial Amphithreatre on the
grounds of the North Carolina Indian Cultural Center in the Red
Banks Community. Hope to have more information about it next
week.
In the meantime, I am going to prioritize projects in my life.
Amen! And, yes, 1 am overwhelmed and happy. Adding to my
frantic but happy demeanor at the momyt is the fact tnat my
grandchildren are borne for the summer, ahdTfiaVe placed being
grandpa at the top of my priority list. Seattle Grejreyes arid Jodie

ftCona The ^Robeson 1I
by Dr. Stan Knick, Director, UNCP Native American Resource Center
A few years ago we began meeting
with a group of artists and elders from
eastern North Carolina Native
American tribes and nations to discuss
the possibility of an exhibit of their
works. Out of these discussions came
an exhibit called Keeping The Circle,
and the group came to be known as
The SPIRITWORKS' Group. After
that exhibit enjoyed a successful tour
of venues around North Carolina, we
began to discuss doing a second
exhibit, and from this came our
newest show.
The Native American Resource
Center is proud to present Walking In
The Spirit Circle, the latest product of
The SPIRITWORKS! Group. The
composition of The Group has evolved
somewhat; many of the same talented
people who participated in the first
exhibit arc still involved, and some
new talents have been added. But the
focus of The Group, and of the exhibit,
remains the same ? to keep alive,
through art, the spirit and traditions of
eastern North Carolina Native
Americans. The tribes and nations
represented in Walking In The Spirit
Circle include Coharie, HaliwaSaponi,
Lumbee and Tuscarora.
The artists and elders involved in
the planning and execution of Walking
In The Spirit Circle are: Mary Jacobs
Bell, Barbara Braveboy-Locklear, L.
Cynthia Brooks, Earl Many Skins
Carter, Mark A. Chavis, Raymond
Spotted Turtle Clark, Gaye Cushing,
Karen Harley, Alyssa Hinton, Shawn
Jacobs, Alan Jones, Alceon Jones,
Connie Locklear, Elisha Locklear,
Hayes Alan Locklear, Jada Locklear,
James Locklear, William Paul
Locklear, Phyllis Lowry, Senora
Lynch, Haity Miller. Herman Lee
Oxendine, Loreiia O. Oxendine and
Julia Lowry Russell. The media and
styles in which these individuals carry
on their artistic traditions vary from
basketry to poetry, from ceramics to
buckskin, from paper collage to
woodcarving, from wire sculpture to
decorated gourds, from traditional
painl-on-leather to modem acrylicon-canvas.
There are many wonderful pieces
of art in this exhibit. One of the most
unusual is an abstract wire sculpture
entitled "Triangles," by emerging
Lumbee artist Shawn Jacobs. It seems
to defy gravity, while going off in
several directions at once.
Another unusual piece is the painton-leather
work entitled "Spirit
Adoption Ceremony," by HaliwaSaponi
artist Karen Harley. It is
reminiscent of the old painted skins,
not only in terms of the style in which
it is done but also in the way it tells a
story.
From the poignant poetry of Jada
Locklear ("Sing To Me"), Julia Lowry
Russell ("Woman And Child") and
Gaye Cushing ("Last Breath"); to die
powerful ceramics of James Locklear
("Cry To The Great Spirit"), Senora
Lynch ("Medicine for Com, Beans
and Squash") and Herman Oxendine
("Etched Urn"); to the delightful group
of "Com Babies" by Phyllis Lowry
ar.d the provocative "Indian Time" by
Alyssa Hinton; to the profound oilsticks-and-ink-on-paper
piece, "The
Path," by Alceon Jones and the
captivating mixed media piece,
"Lumbee War Shield," by Loretta
Oxendine; and on and on to all the
methods and messages throughout this
collection, Walking In The Spirit Circle
offers an exciting mosaic of images
and ideas. Taken together, that tell a
proud story of survival and promise.
Perhaps Barbara BraveboyLocklear
put it best in her poem
"Walking In The Spirit Circle:"
"WE ARE WALKING TOR: Older
generations. Ancient lessons.
Murmurs of grace. Firekeepers.
Sacred songs. Holy silence. Wordless
patience. Broken anows. Empty
chambers. The sighing of the pine,
silver voices of the aspen, clashing
cymbals of the birch, scent of the
cedar. BeadsoftheChinaberry. Paths
of green. Untrodden prairies. Turtle
crossings. Cornfields. Sage rows.
Reeded lagoons. A rippling black
stream. WE ARE NOT WALKING
FOR: Muffled voices. Whispered
songs. Silent drums, laughs. Alien
beliefs. Broken treaties. Broken
spirits. Broken gravestones.
Unbroken arrows. Loaded chambers.
Unlit fires. Unbaited fish hooks. Treeless
banks. A stilled black stream. No
huckleberries. No sassafras. Fogless
meadows. Fogged minds.
Extinction."
Walking In The Spirit Circle will
be on display in The Center through
September, after which it will be
available to travel to other suitable
venues for exhibition. For more
information, visit the Native
American Resource Center in historic
Old Main Building, on the campus of
The University of North Carolina at
Pembroke (our Internet address is
