NATIVE AMERICAN
SCHOLARSHIP
ENDOWMENT, INC.
UPDATE...
Am God is my witness, I
,j sin-attempting to slow down
: ? and smell the roses u I
. \ make my trek through life.
? t But I have a lot of things in
'' flux, in motion, and I want to
. see them through to a
*J successful conclusion.
As many of you know I
-began a Native American
/?Scholarship Endowment,
>Inc. with the help of some of
-"'our readers a few months
'/ago. I feel really good about
/!the project, and believe that
-Iwe will reach our goal of
[.$60,000 by March 6. 1987
'.when we present Pembroke
; State University a check in
.'the amount of $60,000 in
,; behalf of the Indian com
.?munity and their friends.
? Tilings were going just
"fine until I got overloaded
".'and had to lay the project
-T aside for awhile. Well,
> things have righted them
1 selves somewhat and I am
[; attempting to resurrect this
; particular dream. I hope you
* will want to help.
> As you recall, we decided
?? that we would like to take
. on March 6, 1987. And we
?*? came up with the notion that
"'-?it -would be nice to develop
an endowment in the name
of the Lumbee (and Tusca
rora, tool) community as our
celebration of PSlfs 100th
birthday.
Let me bring you up to
date, and assure you that our
dream is still underway. If
you would like to help, you
may send your contributions
to:Hative American Scholar
ship Endowment, Inc. ftet
Office Box 1075, Pembroke,
North Carolina 28372.
We figure $1.00 (and
mere, U you want to) bom
each member of the bdian
community would raise the
$60,000 easily. Well, we're
on! our way.
Lumbee Scholarship En
dowment, Inc.
Beginning balance (July 1,
1908) $622.00
As of today, these have
adherents have contributed.
They are:
GeraJd & Brenda Strickland.

Anonymous $2.00
Jimmy Hunt & family $3.00
Carrie M. Jones $2.00
Dehon Oxendine, Lena H.

Bennon Chavis (Dec.). $5.00
Ronald H, ? Sonya Lowiy
(Virginia Beach, VA) .... $45
Samuel Bullard $5.00
And Mrs. Viola West (RTC)
coordinated a lovely gift
from various Senior Citizen
groups including:
Evans Crossroad Senior Citi
zen's Group $20.00
Smithtown Senior Citizen's
Gro"P $15.00
Island Grove Senior Citi
zen s Group (the Monday
Sewing Club) $14.00
Cherokee Senior Citizen's
Group $15.00
This brings our total re
ceived to date to: $753.00.
I had expected to be
further down the road by
now, but I'm not complain
ing. I am grateful to those
who have contributed to
date, and to those who are
going to. I am a very 4
optimistic fellow.
As I said, Pembroke
University will celebrate iU
100th birthday March 6,
1987. Since I am on the
Centennial board, this will
be my way of helping the
univeristy raise a total of $1
million. Hector McLean, the
chairman of the fund raising
effort, termed it "our birth
day gift to this fine univer
sity."
But I want the Indian
community to do something
special, and above and be
yond the call of duty. I
envision us (and our friends)
raising $50,000 to present to
the PSU Foundation in the
name of the Lumbee com
munity. The monies raised E
will be used for Indian I
student scholarships, and to I
enhance and improve the I
American Indian Studies De- I
partment at PSU. One of our |
own, Dr. Adolph Dial, m
~ chairman of the Indian stu
dies department
I am asking each Lumbee
(and we estimate that there
is at least 50,000 of us in
Robeson County and else
where) to donate $1.00 each
i (and more if you want to).
That will give us our
$50,000. We also are asking
our non-Indian friends to
help.
If your club, organization,
church, etc. wants to contri
bute in the name of some
one, we'll be delighted to
receive your gift Let us
know who you want honored
and we'll make mention of it
in future columns.
This is an idea whose time
has come, and I am confi
dent that we will reach our
goal. I can see it in my
mind's eye as we gather
March 6. 1987 at PSlTs
Founaer a uay and present a
check for $50,000 in the
name of the Lumbee com
munity. That will be a grand
gesture, and one all of us
will be proud of.
Remember* One dollar
will make a difference. I
invite you to* share this
dream with me. Send your
$1.00 (and more if you want
to) to: Native American
Scholarship Endowment c/o
Bruce Barton, P.O. Bo*
1075, Pembroke, NC 28372.
Or call me at (919)521 2826
for more information.
The $50,000 Native Amer
ican Scholarship Endowment
will be our way of saying
"thanks."

The Landlords Ale Now
Victims Of Genocide
Editor,
As landlord of this fine
land does half suffice? The
United States Constitution
states all men are created
equal. As such, does this
include freedom of one's
religion?
August 11, 1978 was con
sidered a great day for the
landlord of this land. I am
speaking of the Native Ame
rican Indian. On this date
the United States Congress
accepted the Native Ameri
can Indian religion into the
Constitution of this great
land. And all people-it didn't
matter the race, religion or
organization-accepted this
law as Public Law # 95-341.
All organizations with the
exception of one large ruling
body, and that is the United
States Federal Government
Does )t not seem applicable
to say that this is considered
racist unjust or just unfair
to the Native American
Indian?
Hie United States Federal
Government has taken a
stand to go as far as

dictating the Native Ameri
can Indian religion to the
said Native American, in
such a manner as to dese
crate, restrict, and all in all,
just deny equal freedom to
the Native American Indian
religion. So I ask, where are
these equal rights? Or equal
protection of our rights that
are guaranteed by this great
land's Constitution, or do
these rights not apply to the
Native American Indian, the
landlord of this great coun
try. We are in dire need for
support in our plight for
freedom of our religion. So if
you can help, please do.

Talk about a finish! Wow!
That was the closest finish
this year and most of last. So
close the officials had to wait
for the film to tell them for
sure.
With Bodine and Rich
mond fighting tooth and
nail, the race came down to
the last lap with Tim and
Geoff trading first place.
Ricky Rudd slipped under
neath and almost stole the
show. He finished about 3
inches behind Richmond
with Bodine a close third.
1 With Richmond winning 3
of the last four, he has
managed to cut into Dale
Earnhardt's Winston points
lead. He now trails by about
150 points as Dale had his
troubles again. After three
crashes his Chevy looked
like a ball of Reynolds wrap
with a 03 on it
Bill Elliott is still having
his troubles. Blew another
engine. That's about 4 this
year after he went almost
three years without losing
one.
Darrell Waltrip looked
strong for awhile leading
with power. Then he slowed
a little and finally coasted
across the finish line with a
blown engine. Good enough
for 4th place.
This race at Pocono, PA
started almost one hour late
due to heavy fog and was
stopped after 150 laps due to
fog restricting vision. Seven
caution flags caused a low
average speed of 124 mph.
Thank goodness we had a lot
of sheet metal damage
but no one was seriously
hurt
Next race will be on the
fastest track on the circuit
Taladega International Race
way. Elliott holds the record
there at 212.2 mph. The race
will be Sunday, July 27th.
