immune to HE wrath for wrongdoing. Bmuh the color of the
slrfa M different, doeea't new the person is loved any more or
wy leas than anyone else by their Creator. Who gave the
White nee the right to decide that they were better than
anyone else? We all need to realise that the Native Americana
are indeed the only true Americans--all the rest of us are
immigrants. If wy race in this country deserved recognition
and help, it is the American kdian. It's time to help them
rebuild instead of constantly tearing them down over wd over
again. I*m tired of seeing these people being treated like some
kind of loathe so me witnal instead of the human beings that
they are!! Do you people realise that the United States of
America is the only country in the world that has a nation of
people living on reservations? The whites were so greedy for
the prime lands that belonged to these people that the
government decided to make a "peace treaty" with them do
them a favor wd stop the wars. In order to do so, the Indian
had to move from their homeland wd give up their hunting
Iwds wd move to a government appointed "reservation,"
which 99% of the time turned out to be a wasteland unfit for
wything, especially human habitat. That wasn't enough. If
Indian children spoke their own language, they were beaten.
Medicine people were killed off. so that the rituals and
ceremonies would be eventually forgotten and done away
with. Any other race that has made this country home has
beea able to keep with their customs and their language- after
all, if you ask me, it has turned into a country of redneck
cowards who are so self-righteous and narrow minded, and
our people are improverished and nearly Beaten. But thev will
persevere. There are more people, whites and others, that are
on their side. God brought the Hebrews out of Egypt and He
will take care of these people also. One day the races will have
to walk the same road and it is past time to make ammends.
What we need to do- all races included is to try to start over
by realizing that our present generation cannot help, or undo,
the mistakes of our past generation, but we can try to make
things right by giving each other a chance, start to trust each
other, and realize that we are all the Creator's children. One
race is not any better than the other and we should honor and
respect the ways of our people, whether they be red, black,
white, yellow or whatever! Put down the hate and guns.
Smoke the pipe and shake hands. Let's make one more peace
treaty and this time, keep it. God, the Great Spirit, or
Whomever He may be called by any of His children, loves us
ail-why can't we love and care for each other. He must he
sorely ashamed of His children-look at what we are doing to
each other.
Sincerely,
SANDRA NIVENS

R eader Addresses
Concerns On
Correctional System
To the Editor
Today I write to you regarding a veiy abashed correctional
system called. North Carolina Department of Corrections.
More specifically, the Department of Prisons. And Td like to
allude to the Sanford Advancement Center. I speak to their
shame.
It is serenely time that someone stand up and take notice of
the acerbic structure of justice surrounding NCDOC.
The conduct of the arbiter at Sanford Advancement Center
is aberrant, at best It appears that their will to do just and
right has abated.
Once Upon fc time, the Sanford Advancement ?Center *ah'ti"
part of NCDOC and abided by the guidelines set forth for
operating an Advancement Center. Presently, the arbiter of
SAC does not seem to equate the meaning of an Advancement
Center.
Instead of helping residents to smoothly re-enter society
with a graceful attitude, SAC is arrogant, disrespectful, and
lascivious and therefore SAC is developing men of the same
character. The men at SAC have great talents and would be a
great asset to themselves and others, if given an ample chance
and proper guidance.
The men that reside at SAC cannot have friends visit with
them and very few relatives. This is cruel and unusual
punishment, over and beyond that called for in the policy set
forth by NCDOC. This is absurd!
Here at SACa very distinct form of regression is practiced
rather than progression. And the arbiter has conspired,
together with his staff to digress NCDOC policy to affect a very
unworkable scheme to the detriment of all residents involved.
That is ascerbk, to say the least! I speak to their shame!
Let me not fail to mention, there are some great educational
opportunities for a select few. And, there are a few who are
paying the cost of living by working on work release. But,
these are, in most cases, not all, short timers. Those who need
it the most, and whose families are suffering as a result of
their abscence, are the most likely to be discriminated against,
I, too, am a victim of the latter.
? Employers that choose to help the residents by offering
employment are fended off with derisions of reasoning. This
handcuffs the public employer that would be of service to the
residents, NCDOC, and the community, if given an equitable
chance. The residents here at SAC are great men that need
more caring attitudes like that of Professor Ray Backlund. The
residents are forced to take his classes ( Human Relations and
Blueprint Reading ), only to learn to love it, because of the
caring attitude of the professor. Professor Backlund is a
member of the immediate community at large. This is what
men should be exposed to, rather than the harsh inhumane
consideration given by SAC.
This is not to say that wrong-doings should go unpunished,
but, it is to say, that, if rehabilitation is going to be had at
SAC, then, NCDOC policy is going to have to play a vital part
at SAC and allow for the kind of advancement that was implied
with the originators of the advancement idea.
The residents are willing to do their part in enhancing the
re development of an advancement center here and turn the
tide of this being a harassment center. But, we cannot do it
alone, we need the support of the local community, to include,
but not limited to, employers and civic organizations, and,
alto, the encouragement of SAC staff.
God is not pleased with this world today. He's going to move
this wicked race, raise Him up a nation that will do His will,
and He will be pleased with the way that they live.
This still applies: If my people, which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
Heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (II
Chronicles 7:14)
