RED CLOUD INDIAN ART SHOW
Pine Ridge, South Dakota - Awards
totalling $2,750 have been provided by
patrons of the 13th annual Red Cloud
Indian Art Show, to be held here June 7
through August 9,1981.
One of the few art shows restricted
to entries by American Indian, Eskimo
and Aleut artists, it has now grown to be
the nation’s largest showing of painting
drawings and sculptures by artists of
more than thirty different tribes.
“ Our purpose is to increase public
awareness of the great artistic talents
that exist among the true native peoples
of America, and to provide a market
place for their work,” Brother C.M.
Simon, S.J., director of the show said.
Some years, he said, as much as sixty
percent of the art displayed is sold to
visitors who come from many parts of
the nation, as well as several foreign
countries.
There are no entry fees, and Red
Cloud Indian School, which sponsors
the show, charges no commission on
sales. All monies go to the artists.

Accepting an invitation from the

Home
Economics
Department to visit, Miss Kitagawa’s
Advanced Foods class went to McMin-
ville on February 20th. In a short briefing
session. Home Economics teachers spoke
to us about themselves and how they
came to major in Home Ec.
We then split into small groups and
were assigned to visit different classes.
In one we learned about nutritional
values. During a two-hour break, we
ate lunch in the dining hall, had a tour
of the campus, and had a short time to
ourselves before reconvening at 1:30.
In one class we learned about housing,
and in another the importance of using
patterns was stressed. We also learned
how patterns have changed from earlier
days.
It was an interesting field trip.

A VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
This year is my first year at a Boarding
school. I have learned a lot about several
things, for instance, having a roommate.
It is something brand new to me, also,
living with a lot of girls in one building.
When I first came, I did not know if
I could handle it, but it Isn’t as bad as
I thought it would be.
My roommate and I get along pretty
well. I think of her as the little sister
I never had. We talk and argue like sis
ters do. I even miss her when she
is gone, like I miss my brothers.
Chemawa has been and is being a
good learning experience for me. I’m
glad I decided to come here.
