KLAMAJH TRIBUNE
APRIL 1959
DELPHINE JACKSON ATTENDS INDIAN
AFFAIRS WORKSHOP, RELATES EXPERIENCES
"It was a wonderful experience
tu meet different peoples. I found
that we had a lot in common al
though the students came from
Indian tribes all over the United
States."
This was what Delpbine Jack
son Had to say about the 1958
workshop on American Indians
Affairs for American Indian Col
Icge'Studcnts. Delphinc, who is a junior at
Maryllmrst ("ullrgc, and grand
daughter of Hod Jackson, an
active tribal official, was one of
about twenty Indian students re
presenting eighteen different
tribes who participated in the
workshop held at Colorado Col
lege last summer.
College credits are given to stu
dents who successfully complete
these workshops, which are held
annually. Last summer's third an
nual workshop carried credits
from the University of Washing
ton. The purpose of these work
shops is "to give the students a
broad acquaintance with Indian
history ami current Indian affairs.
Kmphasis is placed on the present
and future relationship between
Indian communities on reserva
tions and various governmental
agencies and policies." The work
shops are also designed "to give
the students an understanding of
how the findings ;uid methods of
the Social Sciences now illumi
nate the problems faced by In
dians, as individuals, tribesmen
and members of a particular cul
ture". Delphine's account of the 15S
workshop revealed how closely
the workshop followed these ob
jectives. She reports that the stu
dents were divided into four com
mittees each studying a specific
tribe. She was assigned the Ute
Trilu ami believes that the ex
perience of studying a tribe other
than her own hail given her a dif
ferent slant on Indian problems
and had given her greater insight
into the problems of her own
tribe.
lleginning with a study of the
Ute culture before w hite contact,
Delphinc states that her commit
tee, of which she was chairman,
explored the effects the white
culture had on the Utes, as well
as analyzing the present condi
tions of the tribe. The unique and
interesting thing about this study
was its bringing together into
one committee, the ideas of five
college students from the I'ima,
Snohomish, Mandan, Cherokee,
and Klamath Tribes.
The mornings of this two week
session were devoted to talks by
Dr. Ccaring of the University of
Washington who gave the stu
dents some basic information in
the fields of sociology and anthro
pology. There were also guest
speakers like Helen Peterson of
the National Congress of Ameri
can Indians who helped make the
workshop stimulating.
" There was a lot of discussion
about termination," said Delphinc
"and of course they were all in
terested in I L. 587 and the prob
lems facing the Klamath Tribe".
The students did a lot of seri
ous thinking and hard work but
Delpbine states that the group
had plenty of time for fun. The
sightseeing .trips the students
took together, and the feeling of
fellowship among them is an ex
perience she says she will not
soon forget.
It has been announced1 that the
I(5() workshop will be held from
June 2S to August 8 at the Uni
versity of Colorado. The Univers
ity is offering academic lymrse
credit to students who wish such
credit for their work at the work
