AN INTERNATIONAL
PROBLEM ANSWEREL
What Leading World Figures
Say About Current Events
By Mikhail Gorbachev, General
Secretary of the Communist Party
of the Soviet Union
One of the key problems ol
international politics is that
the unilateral Soviet Mora
torium on nuclear testing,
which the Soviet Union strict
ly observed for more than one
year expired on August 6,
1986. The arms race, nonethe
less, is not abating but is gain
ing speed. The threat of its
transfer into outer space has
emerged. ________
Gorbachev
Global problems cannot be
resolved without pulling the
ifforts of all states and peoples
ogether. The exploration of
niter space and the ocear
lepths, ecology and epidemics
poverty and backwardness are
the realities of the age which
demand international atten
tion, international responsibil
ity and international coopera
tion.
The Soviet Union is extend
ing its unilateral moratorium
to make a significant contribv
tion to the common striving to
ensure that 1986 will be a Year
of Peace.

: TUSCARORA TRIBE OF N.C
Noli** Amw"" Non-Profit Organization
T\e Tiucarova Clans cmd the Clan System tn Marriage
By Young Bear-Tribal Chit/
Hie Iroquouui Tuscaroras had matnuue?> societies (tracing
ancestral descent through the female line). In this matrilineal
society the female performed the basic duties for preservation
of the social organization.
The Tuscarora society was similar to their northern
Imquoian relatives the Mohawk, Oneida. Onondaga, Cayuga,
and Sene?*s. The basic group was the Ohwatcira, or die small
family group, in which one or more of these formed the clan.
The clans were grouped into two moieties (two units) forming
the tribe. Traditionally in North Carolina there were three
tribes in confederation forming the TusCarora Nation, the
Kau-ta-Noh, AJca wan teaks, and the Skauren. The clans in
early historic North Carolina would consist of about 188, the
moiety 750, and the tribe, 1,500.
There were seven or eight clans in the Tuscarora Tribe.
Thev were the Bear, Wolf, Turtle, Beaver, Deer, Eel and
Snipe, tradition also tens oi the white bear Clan that was
formed in North Carolina through the lineage of an English
child.
The Bear, Wolf, and Turtle clans also appear among all th<
five northern Iroquoian nations.
The descent of blood was traced through the line of the
mother. The civil and military chieftanships were made
hereditary in the Ohwatcira of certain clans over which the
women chiefs and elder women presided.
The chief s son never succeeded his father. The son of one
of the chiefs sisters was next in line, who was chosen by the
family's head matron after consulting with the women of her
group. When there was no son, the Tuscarora women chose a
daughter. There is tradition of women rulers among the
Tuscaroras in North Carolina.
Among the Tuscaroras, marriage within the clan, whether
tribal or intertribal, was not permitted. The penalty for a man
having carnal knowledge with his sister or close relative was
burning with his ashes cast into the river as unworthy to
remain on earth. Sometimes women would propose but
usually the men would take their proposals to the matrons of
the woman's family. The bride's family considered the
proposal and set her worth. The prettier she was the greater
the price.
There were no important marital rites, a simple exchange of
food and presents made the matter legal. Separation was just
as easy. Hie matrons of both families vowed to keep the
marriage in tact, thus separation was rare.
Children took the name of their mother's clan and nation,
the father's line being disregarded, but the father's clansmen
were considered close kin. The woman never had to leave hei
longhouse, the husband came to live with her family upoi
marriage. If the man and woman separated the childrei
stayed with the mother.
A clan consisted of a chief matron, usually the oldes
woman, her sons and daughters, the children of her female
descendants and their descendants through the female or
clan-bearing side.
The clan functioned in adoption of captives, in law and in
politics in the tribe.
In 1945 and also in the 1970's, a Tuscarora from New York
State's Tuscarora Reservation came to Robeson County, North
Carolina. His name was Mad Bear Anderson. He came in 1945
because his grandmother told him that their people, the Pear
flan Tuscaroras, were hen. While he was hen he stated thai
he came across a Locklear man that stayed across the river
below Lumberton that still spoke the Tuscarora language
fluently. Mad Bear also came back to Robeson County in the
1970's on several occasions during the militant Tuscarora
Movement and after. He told the Robeson County Tuscaroras
that they were his people and that most of them came from the
Bear clan, the Bear clan having scattered and stayed behind
after the War of 1711-1713 (known as the Tuscarora War).
Mad Bear Anderson died in December of 1985, but he left
K>me valuable information for the Robeson Tuscarora*
There is a legend among the Tuscaroras '' wu*->a and tlu
lift of Medicine." In this legend it tells of a blessing that w*.
bestowed upon the Bear clan, lite old man had the power o!
prophesy and he foretold the eventual doom of the Tuscarora
at the hands of the white invaders (War of 1711). That the;
(whites) would claim the Great Island as their own (Unitec
States). Hiat they would kill the husbands, brothers, and sons,
and drive you away to the setting sun. He then blessed the
Bear clan by saying "I place in the midst of your clan, the
Bear, a majestic pine tree, which is e'er green, and as the tor
reaches above all other trees, so will your clan be. Whereve
the nation will be driven to (Robeson County, North Carolin i
and New York), your clan will multiply above all others
(Robeson County), and be the ruler of the nation.
