He also traveled to Cherokee to see the Native Ameri cans there and capture some ideas.

They wanted him to be portrayed as a peaceful, strong person," said Van Zandl. The statue was placed in front of Stuart Auditorium, which is located beside Lake Junaluska.

She knows we need trust in our relations with each other, our environment and with the Supreme Spirit. With out trust, we cannot have healthy and happy lives. In Robeson County, we do not always feel we can trust people who represent us. Often limes, our leaders appear to be representing themselves more than they do us. We need leaders who are willing to listen and work for us. Ms. Coronado is a psychologist who earns her living on the trust of children, families, and professionals. She knows how to listen to people and has the ability to help them solve their problems. Compassion and reason are her companions, not hysteria and rhetoric. She realizes that we need to find solutions to the problems facing Lumbees and she realizes that we need to find them together. She has trust in our heritage and trust in our abilities to not only survive but also to thrive. Ms. Coronado wants you to trust her as your representative on the North Carolina Indian Commission. She wants to represent traditional Indian values such as a profound, spiritual respect for our cultural and physical environment. She wants to continue the ancient Indian tradition of deliberate, objective decision making with the goal of us living in harmony with each other and the Great Spirit. So Carolyn Coronado asks you to vote on September 1, 1988 to elect your representative to the Indian Commission. She asks for you to vote with your heart, mind and soul in making such a crucial decision. She also trusts that when you do so, you will cast your vote for her because you realize you can trust her to represent your needs for a change in Robeson County.
