Robeson Writes Off
Some Bills ...
lajmulktun ? The Robe
son County Board of Commis
sioners has decided to give up
in its attempt to collect more
than $130,000 in past due am
bulance bills.
The board Monday agreed
to "write off" the bills at the
request of the county finance
officer.
County Manager Paul Gra
ham told the board that some
of the bills were two years
old, and some had been paid
partially by Medicaid and
Medicare funds.
Medicaid and Medicare pay
$23 for an ambulance call.
The county charges an aver
age of S3S per can. Graham
said the rest of the bills are
"uncollectible' and recom
mended that they be written
off.
The county carted Its own
ambulance service three
years ago when tighter state
regulations waned funeral
homes and ather private
firms to go out of business.

TO EDITOR
AN OPEN LETTER TO
PRESIDENT CARTER
Edkar'i antei TMa Utter w
?abHlitU te tlte Ctrtlln
I ixNaa Yak* as an open Utter
te PimMmI Carter.
Dear Mr. President.
We saw your message to
Congress when you returned
from the SALT Treaty Con
ference. Of particular interest
to us was your remarks about
South America and what Cas
tro is doing there. You see. we
are Indians-Native American
people. In this country we are
a minority, but if you count all
of us in both hemispheres of
this continent and subtract
that by the number of whites,
if you do that you will find that
we are a majority.
Now, you said you did not like
what is happening in South
America. We do not like it
either. The countries are con
trolled by a few very rich
families who belong to the
same jet set as your Mr.
Kissinger. They keep their
control by rigid suppression of
the poor who are Indian.
Bounties are offered for dead
Indians. In the country of
Uraguay all of the Indians
have been murdered. Did you
hear me Mr. President? All ef
them have been murdered!
When Indians went to Geneva
this last time to protest the
genocide perpetrated against
Indian people in this hemis
phere there were Indians to
speak from every country in
this hemisphere except Ura
guay. All the Indians in
Uraguay have been murdered.
In Indian stores around the
Nation it is possible to buy a
poster with a picture on it of
one of the last Indians alive in
Uraguay. The caption under it
reads: "1 did not know it was
wrong to kill an Indian." It
was spoken by a member of
the ruling class in Uraguay.
Was it a friend of Mr.
Kissinger's? And tell us this
Mr. President. How can a Jew
who survived Nazi prison
camps be now so actively
involved in perpetrating the
genocide of Indian people in
the Western Hemisphere? Did
he learn his values from
guards in the concentration
ramnt in Nazi fiPrmanv?
When America intervened in
Chile it was Mr. Kissinger who
was behind the intervention.
We are told he plotted the
assassination of the president
who was returning the land to
the Indian people according to
their treaties. We are told the
C.I.A. executed this man
under orders from Mr. Kissin
ger. Is this true Mr. Presi
dent? We know that Mr.
Kissinger used troops to mur
der 35,000 Indians in Chile.
Could this be the reason Mr.
President why you refused to
meet with Indian people who
walked from Alcatraz to
Washington, D.C. last sum
mer to see you about our
treaties? Were you afraid that
if you honored our treaties Mr.
Kissinger would have you
assassinated too? Is that why
you refused to meet with our
elders?
We are told a treaty is a
sacred thing. That it repre
sents the honor of a country
and that it is above the
Congress of the country and on
a par with the constitution of
that country. That it is not to
be violated by Congress. Yet
our-treaties are violated every
day. Why is this continuing
Mr. President? Have you
remained silent because you
know that if you honored the
treaties you might have to
return your peanut form in
Georgia to the descendants at
thoae Indiana it was stolen
from at the time of the
Removal? Is that what you are
afraid of Mr. President? What
is it? What is it yon are afraid
of? Something must be stop
ping you from doing the
honorable thing because I see
you are an honorable man.
What is preventing you from
acting with honor toward the
Indian? What is preventing
you from intervening in the
slaughter of Indian women and
children in South America?
Could it be Mr. President
that you are a victim of the
"John Wayne Syndrome?"
That you believe those movies
were reality instead of vicious
propaganda perpetrated
against Indian people, their
way of life and their honor?
Could it be that you believe
you need to sacrifice Indian
lives to preserve your own. as
portrayed in those Westerns?
Could it be that you believe
you must sacrifice the Indian
way of life to preserve your
own way of life? Could it be
that you believe you must
sacrifice Indian honor in order
to preserve your own honor?
And another thing Mr. Pres
ident: Why do you still allow
school children to be taught
that Indians came across the
Bering Strait and moved
down? That is a lie. Except for
the Eskimo. Indians came
from very highly civilized
cultures in South America, and
the movement was North, not
South. Our oral history veri
fies this. Indians had highly
civilized cultures when your
ancestors were living in cold,
damp caves in Europe. Think
about that Mr. President. I
mean really think about it.
snrs r*
Trncn Europeans, your an
cestors. decided that Indians
were game to be hunted, they
based their decision on one
fact, ignoring all others. Indi
ans had no private property.
What one had they all shared.
When one ate, they all ate.
When one went hungry they
all went hungry. To a Euro
pean that put the Indian on a
par with animals because a
European knows that human
Ibeings are competitive, that
they live by the ethics of the
jungle and "to the victor goes
the spoils." The evidence of
cooperation, sharing and the
pnnnlt of harmony which is
the way of life of an Indian
tribe, did not seem like the
proper way for human beings
to behave, at all.
Do you share those beliefs
with your ancestors? Is that
why you allow Indians to
remain under the Department
of the Interior to be exploited
along with the wild horses? Is
it those beliefs which caused
'your inertia, your impotence,
when it comes to righting the
wrongs done to Indian peo
ple? Must you rearrange your
ideas in order to see us as just,
outraged, honorable, truly bo
man beings? '
We know that you are a very
busy man and that we will
probably get no answer to this
letter because you are so busy.
Yet we will be praying that you
will consider these questions
we have asked you-perhaps in
your sleep.
Sincerely,
Dave and Dorothy Chief

We have many of oar Iadiaa
people that waat to be rscog
nixed by the Federal Govern
mcot oi oar United Statoa.
Over the yean the bA
people of Robesoa Couat^
and surrounding counties have
talked of changes that they
waat. Talk la not what bring*
these changes into a realty,
but action. We la no way are
speaking of violence. The
reality is that the Iadiaa
people know that ia order far
us to become rrcogniaed by
our federal government, there
must first come thoroagh
research and much hard work,
and it win take money to ?
accomplish our goik.
The reality is that the iadiaa
people in this area are going to
be recognised as a duly
constitued tribe.
This has come about through
means, some of which many
feel were unnecessary. How
ever our forefathers found out
th* hard way what happens
when you sit back and take no
action.
Now it our time to stand
united to see a dream become
a reality. We cannot talk abont
heritage and roads; and not
want to take some kind of a
positive stand to maintain
what is ours ? the "Indian
culture" and our heritage. By
remaining a silent frightened
minority we shall remain an
unrecognized people.
Who gave the Indian people
the following?- 1) buses for
school children during the
1930's 2) the Indian Normfl
School, now PSU 3) the
solution to double voting lb
1969.
The answers to the above ate
all the same - "Postive Active
Indians" who thought more
about the benefits- Ot Wdi
people rather than what they
as individuals would gain. Are
you willing to sacrifice and
take a stand for your people?
A petition aaking for federal
acknowledgement of the exist
ence of an American Indian
tribal government in thia cou
nty, has been in the works for
some time. This petition,
written according to the fed
eral guidelines, will run to a
couple of hundred pages, and
will go up to the Federal
Acknowledge Board at the
Bureau of Indian Affairs some
time in the n^st few months, if
not sooner. The work that
went into preparing the peti
tion was sponsored by the
Tuscarora Indian Tribe (Chair
