The John Inskeep Environ
mental Learning Center will be
hosting Native American Days on
May 18 and 19.
“The whole purpose is to
honor the Native Americans as
the first environmentalists,” said
Brule Sioux Medicine Man Three
Hawks, who’s Christian name is
Jim Jones. “This is basically a liv
ing history exhibit.”
The exhibit will include a
traditional Native American
salmon bake from 5-7 p.m. on
Saturday, five authentic lodges, a
Chippewa birch bark canoe, a pow
wow and a variety of live exhibits
of Native American culture. Three
of the five lodges are painted and
completely furnished. Among
these is an authentic leather teepee,
which belongs to Three Hawks.
The teepee took a year to research
and a year to build. A large num
ber of the artifacts and items which
will be shown in the exhibit be
long to Three Hawks.
“There will be a number of
people in full regalia,” said Three
Hawks. Regalia is the dress of the
Native Americans. Three Hawks
explained that the traditional
outfits are not called costumes,
because they are not He gave the
illustration that the clothes that
an average person would wear are
not called costumes, and so the
outfits worn by the Native Ameri
cans are called regalia, which is
the word they use for their cloth
ing. Three Hawks will be wearing
regalia of an 1800 Brute Sioux
medicine man.
Other guests who will be there
are Blackfoot Medicine Man, Grey-
Lo-Wolf; Environmental Story

men at the exhibit. According to
Three Hawks, the mountain men
have a place at the exhibit because
the they learned to survive in the
wilderness from the Native Ameri

not only the techniques of the
Native Americans, but also many
of their spiritual beliefs.

will also be checking with private
sources for funds around the,
country.
“We approach this from the
view that this is an investment to
make a difference in someone’s
life,” said Dickson.
“Through this capital cam
paign we’re broadening our scope
as a college,” Dickson contin
ued.
The focus on access to liter
acy came from a desire to auto
mate the library, the audio-vis
ual department and other library
services, said Fulmore.
The art scope of the capital
campaign came from a need to
upgrade the visual image, of the
college, she explained. With build
ings like the Gregory Forum
Building, Clackamas has the
potential to become the “cultural
center of the county,” according
to Fulmore.
“Art is a contribution that
really lives on and provides some
what of a legacy,” said Dickson. ,
Funding for the FRC is being
emphasized because of the all
ready recognized need to pro
vide services aimed at helping
the fam ily, according to Dickson.
The health department, mental
health, the employment division
and Employment Training and
Business Services (ETBS) will
all provide services through the1
FRC. The Young Parent Oppor-
tunities Program, Life and Ca
reer Options (formerly the Dis
placed Homemakers Program),
and the college day care center
will all be housed in the FRC.
“When I look at what money
can do at this college, for people
and programs, I get very excited,”
concluded Dickson.
Hawks feels that they were one of
the most environmentally con
scious cultures there has been, both
in their lifestyle and spirituality.
Native American Days are on
Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. Admission will be $5 for adults,
$3 for children and $3.50 for sen
iors.- The salmon bake from 5-7
p.m. Saturday, by reservation only,
will cost $7 for adults and $5 for
children under six. Lunch will be
available for $350 from 12-5 p.m.
on Saturday and 12-330 p.m on
Sunday.
“This is hopefully the first of
an annual event,” said Three
Hawks.
