Richard West Jr., a Southern Cheyenne, who is the director o f the new National Museum o f the American Indian, during dedication ceremonies for the museum’a opening in Washington, DC. (AP photo) (A P) — As a child, W illiam W alker was sent o ff to boarding school and forbidden to speak his native M ono Indian tribe lan guage. So it was with a sense o f vindication that W alker w atched colorful pageantry o f Indian cu l ture m ark the o p ening o f the S m ith so n ian In stitu tio n 's N a tional M useum o f the A m erican Indian, located at the foot o f the Capitol. "This represents freedom, rec ognition," said Walker, 75, whose tribe is from central California. "It’s long overdue." W alker joined thousands o f In d ia n s from A la sk a to S o u th A m erica Sept. 21 in a half-m ile p rocession along the N ational M all. T he flags, feath ers and bright native clothing m ade for a m ulticolored display, and the air was filled with the smell o f burned sage and the sounds o f drum s, bells and music. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye, D-Ha- waii, who sponsored the Senate bill authorizing the museum, said he was motivated by a sense that Indi ans had been unrecognized in the nation’s capital. “ In this city of monuments there was no statue, no monument, hon oring the first Americans," Inouye told the assembled crowd as drag onflies darted about in the bright sunshine. "This monument to the first Americans is long overdue." )
