Surely, the pro game was a far different animal when Chief came out of Centenary College That was 1976. when Gerald Ford was in the White House But in 14 years, all Parish did was win three NBA championships with the Boston Celtics and go to the All-Star game nine times Does he still have some Boston magic left in those long, deep pockets' I've got two words for the answer - diet and exercise The oldest man in the NBA I nMWwBMnMVNMMVwvC Of 'his 7-foot. 230 pound frame and plays ten years vounger than his driver's license advertises Charlotte gave Parish two years of guaranteed money at S5.5 million with an option for a third year of an extra S2 million.

I am nnhi surly qiislfliilfnrttis |rmtTtnn riifrti I isslr.|irlnisrh)r lirsim T f Caughtthe ways of the Native American. For Sdyears I have studied Indian history and ? For tha pa* 25 ywrr IVe Iwotwd mysdfta Indian affairs at local. state and national levels. Pvo boon dauntless in fighting for Indian Rights throughout the United States and Canada. My grandfather and father taught mo that being Native American and defending our way of fife is a Just cause. Over the years I've endured ridicule, even from my faiowtiihal members, because I fait what I was doing was right and, because I knew the time would come when LumboePoofrlo would have a viable tribal gov ernmont~.that our people would once again adhere to Indian principles. My extensive employment experience afford* me good Judgment of sound fiscal principles. For years I was employed in the construction industry where I learned the importance of a strong work ethnic and responsible fiscal management. Over the past three decades Fve served as a traditional educator and advocate who has worked at the grassroots level to protnote Indian art, history and culture. Most noted iu my leadership in the development of traditional Indian cultural festival* in the state and region since IMS. My involvement in the development and coordination of cultural events is international in scope. I understand the importance of education, having been an enrolled student at Pembroke State University, University of South Carolina (Columbia Campus), Francis Marion Cofiege, and the Officer Academy (Fort Bragg, NC). I love my country and represented it in military service for 13 years. Having served in the U.S. Army Special F" or tes, I understand the importance of duty, kiyalty and self discipline. I served the United States with honor and am a decorated Vietnam War veteran. I am a family man and am happily married. I am a spiritual person. I believe very strongly in a Supreme Being. I adhere to strong Christian principles as they are expounded by our people. I am reflective of my training by spiritual parents. I am not one to go out through the streets and announce what my spirituality is, nevertheless, I possess a stark spirituality. Behaving as I do in strong Christian principles, I will access the church community for its input, because a government without spirituality will fall. It will be my honor to serve you as Tribal Chairman. I have the maturity, knowledge, temperament, and expertise required to serve. I hope as voters, you understand that for decades I have stood and fought, and will continue to stand, for stand ami fight for you, your children... and their children. Now, I am asking for your support as I seek election as T ribal Chairman. I sincerely appreciate your vote of coaAdeace. ^ Seven Point Platform 1, CULTURE ? The First thing one has to understand is that our culture lias never been completely dead. In the past few decades its awareness has been weakened by a lack of acknowledgement. As Tribal Chairman I will continue to do what I've bee n doing for the past 25 years / involve tribal members, the young people in particular, in the retention of self-identity in our youth, and this revicalization will take care of a lot of social problems - among wr young people. A culture base is essential to qny.government of people. This H true nheUiw the si niwnS Is sovereign or nee, ' 2. EDUCATION?Indian people walk in two worlds ? The NativeAmer can woHd, and . the dominant society world. Our Indian children can ill / afford not to be educated. It seems today that everything in education is based on High Tech. As it sands now, our children have a difficult time of accessing scholarships, ways and means of going to school, because of our economic condition. As Tribal Chairman. I will search for funding resources which will ensure financial assistance for Indian students who wish to pursue a post secondary education. I will be at the frontline in seeking tribal scholarships for our youth. It's important to understand that the Lumbee Tribe does not have to be federally recognized to pursue educational binding for its youth. The state of Nonfi Carolina has appropriated educational monies for Indian students. We must lobby for additional funds, however. Along with education, we still have to teach our children about ">vho they are". Learning about their culture is a vital part of the education process. I sec a need for the reclamation of our original language. As T ribal Chairman, I will seek counsnl for educators In Indian communities to give me guidance in developing cultural education inisitatives. 1. SELF-SUFFICIENCY- The Lumbee Tribe of Cheraw Indians has a degree of self sufficiency in that they are eastern Native Americans and have been in contact for over 500 years. We will retain our self-sufficiency and continue to build upon L However, we must access entities outside the government so as to do a better Job. As cur youth enter the 21 st Century they must explore ways to support themselves. The fedeial government is getting out of the "Indian Business". Indian people must find their own ways and means of supporting themselves. We must become innovative while continuing to do what we've been doing such as holding ownership to our land. 4. AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT - The federal government is trying to regulate tobacco out of existence. Because we are a forming based tribe, we must develop marketing strategies for alternate crops while seeking markets for tobacco in countries outside the United States. Both are possible with a strong tribal leader who Is willing to find these markets. We must utilize the Campbell Soup Company cannery located in Robeson County with an emphasis toward developing produce-forming. We must capitalize on aqua forming by raising catfkh and crawfish which are in gisat demand in foreign markets. As Tribal Chairman, I will be profound and direct in identifying a mass of money-making agricultural ventures for the Lumbee people. 5. NETWORKING - Vital to the success of any government is networking. Governments operate on contacts between individuals and entities in other countries. For more than two decades I've accessed most Indian communities in the United States and Canada. I've I've learned that their problems are not unique, for the Lumbee share the same problems. In personady knowing tribal leaders throughout the United States, I can network. My longtime advocacy for Indian People is exemplary. Undeterred, I have fought for Indian issues at state and national levels for the majority of my adult life. One has to understand that the Lumbee People are going for approrpriatkxi. Anytime one goes and lobbies any government, one has to be able to network and articulate. I don't have to develop a network. I wM simply access the network I've developed over the past 25 years. A. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - Along with selMuflkiency has to come a sound economic plan. There are certain things Indian people can access by rirtue of being Native Americans. One has to know how to go about accessing markets set aside for Indians. I possess the know-how and wM vigorously pursue economic markets for the Lumbee people. However, the endeavor cannot be a "one-person" show. As Tribal Chairman, I wi utttze the knowledge and counsel of smeb business people In the community and outlying areas where we have Indian businesses. I wM pursue market outlets far Motive made arts and crafos produced by Lumbee people. With the collected knowledge, a sound economic development plan of action can be formulated and preeanted in a ftata-CN-The-Trtbe report. fn ?r efl Lu in r r e st erl ?- ? se-w.1 I il ? n S"4o 1I ?
