The producer and host is John Lentz. a recent graduate of Pembroke Stale University. John cane to Pembroke State with an already-well-developed interex in Native Anted ra. inspired at American Indian Madias. and left here with a very broad knowledge or Native American history, cullore and contemporary issues. He is putting his ujpraiinml and personal hwtfgmund to wrt hi das program. Native Voices John feci* that hi uae ways Native Voices is like a five-sway, that part of powwows and other Native American cultural event* when people share the* blessings with the people who are special 10 diem. He snyc "I want people to see the great range of Native American musical talent that's out there. It's important that these voices be beard, in light of there being so many misunderstanding* about Indians. I've heard some of the moat intelligent people in the world say the most ridiculous things about Native Americans." Native Voices is a step toward enhanced understanding of the richness and diversity of contemporary Native America Native Voices feature* almost every possible type of music by Native American*. You might bear the traditional drumming and singing of Whitefuh Bay, or the folk music of B1 iffy St. Marie (my favorite is "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee") You ?j^ta0ay*e7O>-ftyleMccalc?ock music of Keitb Secola (I like "Indian CaD or the acoustic roc* of Bill Miller (check out "Reservation Romf). Then there's the traditional Comanche music of Cornel PewewanJy sod the flute music of Douglas Spotted Eagle. There are also occasional Indian storks and legends, items of news and historical interest, plus information about area powwows and other events. For the future, John is working toward incorporating interviews with national and regional Native American personalities. He also hopes to have increasing involvement from North Carolina's local Native American communities. But for the time being, plenty of good music and good words can be beard from Native Voices. For more information about Native American music, visit the Native American Resource Center in Old Main Building, on the campus of Pembroke State University. < Pembroke Kiwanis Report The weekly meeting was held at the Tow n and (L'ouatrv Reataurant with pest prcMdent Buddy Bell presiding U Gov Sieve M.

We used to use the barn, or the crib, for practice. I wonder if Mister Septer wondered how all those holes got in his barns We never did any hunting with the bows and arrows But then we never got close enough to any game to use them We were too used to .22*s and 12 gauge shotguns to sneak around and surprise an animal. We probably spent more time making the bows and arrows than we did actually playing Cowboys and Indians It was too dangerous. None of use ver shot anybody, either with an arrow or with an air rifle. We just did make believe Now. I can't believe we were foolish enough to actually play that way. lfooeofus had shot another one. rubber, and some cord in the middle to fit the notch in the arrow If we could have shot a deer with one of the arrows. I know it would have gone all the way through the deer s neck Those were wicked arrows We used feathers on the shaft Especially with the arrows, it could , have gone all the way through an arm. pr a leg. God forbid, a stomach I had made bows and arrows for vears before that. We made the bows ind arrows at Mister Septer's house when we were 12 or 14 years old. The 3iies 1 had made at home were toys; they were weak, for little boys. After I had made two or three of them. 1 read an article in the Progressive Farmer about how to make i real bow from oak. The ones I had uade before were from willow ranches, or sassafras, or some easily oent wood . They were easy to bend, but they fad no power. The oak ones, even when they were green, had power. I am just thankful now that none of us got hurt playing with these dangerous toys. Barents, if you see any of your kids doing something foolish like that, take their toys away from them.
