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. .

TRAVEL SCHOOL : 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.
