SlCong 'The Robeson ^TraiC by Dr. Stan Knick, Director, UNCP Native American Resource Center The Native American Resource Center is pleased to announce a new exhibit of art works by Ms. Alceon Jones (Lumbee). The exhibit is entitled The Spirit Moves, and will be featured in The Center through February. A reception to celebrate The Spirit Moves and to honor its artist will be held after Christmas. Ms. Jones was bom in Robeson County and graduated from what is now The University of North Carolina at Pembroke (class of 1970). She is the daughter of Wilbert and Margaret Bullard. She is married to Robert W. Jones, and the mother of five children. She was formerly employed as a mulli-media arts developer with the Indian Education Project (Title 111) of the Robeson County schools. She currently teaches visual arts to elementary students in the Public Schools of Robeson County. Ms. Jones works in mixed media, using various kinds of materials (ink. colored pencil, shaped paper, clay, and others). She says that movement is a very big part of much of her work ? constant motion of lines, shapes and colors, and even the way she thinks and reacts to her works. "When I create ? or recreate ? as only God creates ? I'm in another world, absorbed; being; separated; isolated; becoming." An is a vital pan of Ms. Jones' life, but it's not all there is: "The piece that moves me most in this show is the four-by-six-fect canvas, The Spint Moves. 1 did this on Labor Day, September 4, 2000." On that day I cooked two meals, washed dishes three times, washed four loads of clothes and hung them on the line and got them in. I also made grape juice. The work has three (lower-like parts with many lines radiating out from the centers. When I finish a piece 1 often end up with groups of three or seven. These numbers have eternal meaning as far as I'm concerned ? Father, Son and Holy Spirit ? the Three who give hope and comfort to all who will accept and believe. "When I look at a blank piece of paper or canvas, it is really frightening 1 sometimes think I'm going to do a landscape, but often the finished work doesn't begin to look like a landscape It is usually a fanciful piece or something that defies naming. I like doing pieces that are abstract or non-objective. After finishing these 'strange' pieces I often see objects that I didn't 'plan.' Other people see tilings in my work that I have never even thought about. "I have a feeling that I'm supposed to do something more than I am doing in this present world. I'm teaching, making art, being a mom, wife, daughter, grandmother, friend, etc.. But I'm striving for something elusive. Maybe that's why my art is so different. My art is real ? life is abstract. Imagine daydreaming: that state of being is what it feels like when I make art." The Spirit Moves exhibit is unquestionably one of the most expressive and creative shows we have had here in Thei Center. It invites the viewer to suspend disbelief, or perhaps to succumb to belief of a different order ? to step into a world where fantasy and reality are transformed. It is indeed a place where The Spirit Moves.

What does it mean to you? by Ken Rraveh<nvk If you are a full blood or one of the many thousand mixed blood Indian people on the Turtle Island, what does Thanksgiving mean to you? Is it just another white man's holiday or is it a day of mourning9 Does your Indian blood cry out at the memory of the great horror that brought about this celebration? Or do you just go along w ith it. ignorant of the hideous truth real history unveils? Perhaps the following article, written by an unknown writer, the true story, will help you decide. It is up to you. Most Americans know that Massosoit, Chief of the Wampanoag, had welcomed the so-called Pilgrim fathers and the seldom mentioned Pilgrim mothers- to the shores where his people had lived for millennia. The Wampanoag taught the European colonists how to live in our hemisphere by showing them what wild foods they could gather, how. where and what crops to plant, and how to harvest, dry and preserve them. After Massosoit's death he was succeeded by his son. Metacomet, whom the colonists called "King Phillip." IN 1675-1676, to show gratitude for what Massosoit's people had done for their fathers and grandfathers, the pilgrims manufactured an incident as pretext to justify disarming the Wampanoag. The whites went after the Wampanoag with guns, swords, cannons and torches Most, including Metacomet. were butchered. His wife and son were sold into slavery in the West Indies. His body was hideously drawn and quartered. For twenty-five years afterwards, his skill was displayed on a pike above the white village. The real legacy of the Pilgrim fathers is treachery. Most Americans today believe that "Thankaijrvmg" celebrates a bountiful harvest. They even teach that in schools and churches; but that is not so. By 1970, the Wampanoag had turned up a copy of a Thanksgiving Proclamation made by the Governor ot the Colony The text reveals the ugly truth: after a colonial militia has returned from murdering the men. women and children of an Indian village, the Governor proclaimed a holiday and a feast to give thanks for the massacre. He also encouraged other colonies to do likewise. In other words, go kill Indians and celebrate your murders with a feast. /We're Back 1 Coming Soon to Z^ocation Near Yoii r ' *"? f?>, I I Date Friday, Oct. 20 Thursday, Oct. 27 Saturday, Nov. 4 Tuesday, Nov. 7 Thursday, Nov. 16 Tuesday, Nov. 28 Friday, Dec. 1 Saturday, Jan. 20 Saturday, Feb. 10 Friday, Feb. 23 Saturday, March 10 Thursday, March 22 i Sunday, April 29 Location Senior Appreciation Day Biggs Park Mall (BP/Sugar only) T.A.
