NASU holds winter pow pow Saturday The gathering is the first of the two pow wows celebrated at the University each year Dinner, dancing and music await people interested in attend ing the Native American Student Union annual winter gathering Saturday. Beginning with a dinner at 5 p.m. at the longhouse at 1606 Co lumbia St., the festivity continues with a pow wow at 7 p.m. in 220 GerlingerHall. Tana Atchley, a co-director for NASU, said she believes the gath ering offers an opportunity for people to celebrate their cultural roots. “My favorite part of the pow wow is seeing people come to gether to show how proud they are of their heritage,” Atchley said. “Personally, 1 get to see my friends and my family in a social setting, but then I also get to see people being proud of who they are and not being afraid of show ing it.” The winter pow wow is the first of the two pow wows celebrated at the University each year. This winter festivity tends to be small er and less traditional than its spring counterpart. “The spring pow wow is bigger, has more drums and also has a traditional dinner serving game meat,” Atchley said. "The spring pow wow is always celebrated on Mother’s Day, and its purpose is to honor mothers.” The pow wow was once cele brated in the fall to welcome stu dents back to school, “but we changed it to winter because peo ple are less stressful and less busy during that time,” Atchley said. “People tend to be more relaxed after returning from winter break.” For more information about the pow wow, contact the NASU of fice at 346-3723. Longhouse Continued from Page 1 grams and awareness includes student access and support, Na tive American law, native lan guage preservation, Native Amer ican literature, Native American gatherings, Native American an thropology and natives world wide. To increase Native American student access and support to the University, a recent development permits in-state tuition for mem bers of tribes whose traditional land is in Oregon. An enhanced scholarship pro gram for Native Americans and multiple student and profession al groups for Native American students are among many ele ments of student support. There are several faculty mem bers at the University School of Law working to raise awareness of Native American issues such as national policy, environment and sovereignty. The law school’s dean, Rennard Strick land, is of Osake and Cherokee heritage and a scholar of Native American law. Strickland is par ticipating in this effort. The University department of linguistics has developed a pro gram for Native American gradu ate students to study and pre serve their native languages. In the University English de partment, classes are available in Native American literature. In 1997, a Native American Litera ture Conference was sponsored by the Oregon Humanities Center at the University. The campus has hosted sever al tribal and community gather ings. In May, leaders of coastal Oregon tribes gathered here for the first time in more than a cen tury. The department of anthropol ogy and the Museum of Natural History have developed ties with Native American communities on the Pacific Coast to work on native archaeological sites. Additionally, through faculty such as Professor Rob Proudfoot, an international studies professor and a Six Nations Seneca Haude saunee, the University offers an international program that focus es on indigenous peoples around the world. This program is the only one of its kind in American higher education. This focus on a wider spectrum of Native American issues is rep resented by the new Many Na tions Longhouse. “This longhouse is inclusive and traditional,” White-Eyes said. “We are looking at a bigger pic ture; it is the ideology of the long house that is represented.” NEED MONEY?
