These persons feel that then cultural ties lie solely with the United States of America and all that is represented in that cultural. This attitude is completely acceptable to me because I recognize that it is not my responsi bri ity to judae another persons sense of culture. However. I would like to point out that the Native American population in and around Robeson County have been performing native dancing, singing and the practice of Native American religion continuously from the beginning of recorded history to the present day. These practices have not always been practiced under the a .

Laea'E EmuWKV (Painted Turtle) i -fc Well, I'm troubled again. I'm having a hard time. Miss Connee. figuring out whether our Sheriff is going to be our Sheriff or move up to die Marshall job. Some folks are wanting him out as Sheriff, so they can put in an Indian. I don't have much dealing with the law. but I'm thinking Mr. Stone may ought to consider retiring down to the White Lake or up there in White Plains, NY. Our delegates are still meeting and working on our constitution I seen in our Indian paper where Miss Cynthia went and met with the folks from Saddletree. There'ssome mighty fine things. Take, for example, all that money they're giving to our young people to go to scnool.ifl had someone backing me like that when 1 was a growing up, I mighty of made something of myself instead of being a poor old fanner. But, nothing suits me better than to work on the farm, talk with the boys on what needs to be done, and watch them bring in the crops. A man gets close to the Lord when he works with fa his elements and the land. He teams p some things about risks and he learns ti that there are things that are beyond ii his power to control, like a year in r which there ain't no rain, or a year 1 when there is too much rain. He learns a a lot about the government, how it t! works, and he learns that nobody really g appreciates the farmer all that much, y But. when the fanner stops his tl plowing, and planting, people will k know something in this country. p Now. you take these delegates fa They're out there plowing, planting, and tending our future. In our tribe, we have got some weeds that need to u be pulled less they take uspver. Then, a we've got some tender plants that n require just the right amount of h fertilizer to help them to grow. A ft farmer knows all about these things, y These here delegates know about these S things, and they'll out there pulling s? together to get the job dooe. S I am just tickled that they're riding their meetings and letting the eople come And, if you can't come, hey'11 telling us what they are doing d our Indian paper. And, if you can't ead. they'll go out and meet with you. "here ain't no way these fine people re going to let you not know what ' hey re doing. And. to top it off, we < *t to vote on the constitution they're I mting for us. If we don't like it. ? hey'll go back and do it over. Now, I ind of like that Theae are the lund of - eople who want to do the right thing iy all of us. I'm thinking that I'm going to pass ip fishing this Saturday and go put ad tell them that they're doing a light? fine filing fos^A*** I'm rg to meet some of the LRDA cause I want to tell them about oung people with their schooling eems to me they could learn imething by the folks over there in *kU?re?

He has gone from "deep despair" to feeling "empow ered," he says. He has donated his blood plasma. Until recently, the thought of donating blood infected with HIV ? the virus that causes AIDS ? would represent a cruel joke. But in Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, a specialty blood bank is using certain parts of the in fected blood to create a potential treatment for AIDS. The drug, called Immupath, is not considered a cure for AIDS. But in ongoing tests, it has been shown to lengthen survival in cer tain AIDS patients. "People with early HIV infec tion can make a great contribution by donating their plasma," ex plained Joshua Levy, M.D. "These individuals, although having no AIDS symptoms, have plasma very rich in antibodies against the HIV virus which may be helpful to AIDS patients. "In a way, healthy patients are helping sick patients. The inten tion is to bolster the immune sys terns of patients and keep them alive until an actual cure is avail able," Dr. Levy said. The final phase of California tests of Immupath has been ap proved and HemaCare will be ap plying for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for na tionwide studies that could begin in early 1994. The publicly owned blood bank is currently seeking potential do nors and recipients in California. For information call 310-791 5131. "People with early HIV infection can make a great con tribution by donating their plasma." Donating plasma is safe and do nors appear to be benefiting in some ways as much as recipients. The California donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, said he has learned to keep himself healthy so he can continue helping others. Yau always dreamed of being your own boss.
