Sam Dial, long-time member of the
Pembroke Town Council, announces his
candidacy for the mayorship of Pem
broke.
In making his announcement, Dial
released the following statement:
"The people of Pembroke have flies
very supportive of me during my long
tenure as a Pembroke Councilman. I
have served under the administration of
3 mayors during my tenure: Earlie B.
Maynor, Reggie Strickland the present
mayor, James A. "Pete" Jacobs. Each
one of these mayors served two terms.
My record speaks for itself. I have
supported whatever was beneficial to the
taxpayers of Pembroke-public housing,
street improvements, community de
velopment, etc. I have always tried to be
a voice for the people. It is you, the voter,
who have elected me and I have always
tried to be a voice for the people. I have
always tried to speak in your behalf.
"It is time for us to start looking
toward the future. We need to gear
ourselves to meet the demands we are
faced with relative to growth. I will work
closely with the local industrial com
mission and the State Dept. of Com
merce to bring industry into our town
which will provide jobs for people. If
elected, I will strive to show the
taxpayers where their dollars are spent
and to insure they go where they are
needed most and in a manner that will
allow you to see their return.
"I am humbled by the support shown
me over the years as a councilman and
earnestly solicit your support for Mayor
Nov. 8. Your vote will be greatly
appreciated."

FLOYD WESTERMAN
Dixie Harrison*^
In a United States govern
mental policy to assimilate
Indian people, Floyd was one
of many Indian children
taken out of family homes
and placed in boarding
schools. He spent his entire
childhood there.
He taught himself to play
the guitar, went to college,
and beganstaging profes
sionally in the SIFs. In 1970 his
first recording was released,
an album entitled "Custer
Died for Your Sins". In 1982
Floyd recorded this album
and is now producing it in the
form of cassette tapes under
the label of Red Crow Pro
ductions.
His style of music is coun
try folk. He prefers this type
of expression to address the
colonial oppression that
hindered the lifestyle of his
people. He survived the
regimentality forced upon
him throughout his childhood
education, and with a clear
view of what 14 right and
what's wrong for Indian peo
ple. Floyd dedicated his life
to maintaining cultural and
traditional teachings. He
believes in the cfthcept of the
sacred circle, survival of In
dian language^ -reject for
the land, and Jta; ngnly of
adigendua ptdjw' rf~ the-'
Western Hemisphere. Au
diences here, in Europe, and
other countries receive him
so well he is often referred to
as "ambassador" and "the
giant of Indian music". No
matter what song he sines.
.When one thinks of the
traditional Indian one usually
thinks of feathers, beads,
tommy hawks and scalping.
Perhaps one thinks of wild
west raids, bareback ponies,
and loin-cloths; but rarely
does one think of Indians as
country singers and profes
sional performers.
Contrary to some thinking
there are many talented In
dian performers. Two such
entertainers will perform
Friday, September 30, at 8:00
p.m. in the Performing Arts
Center in honor of North
Carolina State indian
Heritage Week.
Eloyd Wcsterman, well
Jaawn -for his traditional j
ballads depicting the years of
hardships of the American
Indian, will share the stage
with Dixie Harrison, a
Cherokee Sioux Country
singer from Arkansas.
Floyd Westerman, 46, is of
the Sisseton Wahpeton
Dakota (Sioux) Nation.
Among his grandfathers of
the Plains, are "Red Crow",
"Sleepy Eye", "Good
Thunder', "Red Day', "Red
Wing', and "Little Crow",
the listener is never left un
moved.
