' Kituwah (Gi-doo-wah) is a Che rokee word meaning "center place," and equivalent interpreta tions can be found in the languages of the Native American tribes. The Exposition is designed to share the arts, dance, song, drama and crafts of this continent's first inhabitants through presentations at the Ashe ville Civic Center. Members of High Country Art & Craft Guild and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians jointly conceived and organized Kituwah. Native Americans have not held a traditional cultural gathering of this size east of the Mississippi River for more than 150 years. Up until the removal of all Southeast ern tribes was provoked by the dis covery of gold in Georgia in 1835, members of Native American tribes would meet regularly for ceremony, celebration and the ex change of goods and knowledge. Many of the components from these native assemblies will be found in the first Kituwah. The exposition is designed to expand everyone's knowledge of the Na tive American culture's rich diver sity. "The Exposition's educational process takes as its theme-- We believe in your way ."said Pamela Adams, chairman of Kituwah. "With this statement, organizers honor the Native American Elders for their role in preserving tribal culture by passing on the language and tradition." A program called Wisdom Keepers will give Elders from var ious tribes across the country the opportunity to share the legends and lore so vital to their culture. These older Native Americans will pass along the traditions, values and mythology to those who have never had the opportunity to hear them. , Each day during Kituwah, Elders will conduct programs to tell and explain stories from their culture, enhancing knowledge of Native American principles. Those who attend Kituwah also will learn through presentations of contemporary and traditional Na tive American arts, ceremonial dance, storytelling, music and drama. Visitors can purchase items from more than 100 juried arts and crafts exhibits, allowing them to retain part of the Kituwah expe rience forever. Handmade baskets, pottery, jewelry, paintings, sculpture and numerous other kinds of artwork media made by Native American artists from across the country will provide evidence of the diversity and talent among "The People,"as they often refer to themselves. Organizers also hope to sustain and support the talents of young Native Americans through ap Monthly Weekly $1,021 $236 1,369 1.718 2.066 2.415 2,763 3,112 3,460 316 397 477 558 638 718 798 4,181 349 81 son lor sponsoring organization is Nancy M.

Stu dents at Native American Schools in Mississippi, North and South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and other states have created 8-foot-by-12-foot dioramas. These depictions of tribal life or history will be judged at the Expo sition, and a $750 prize will go to creators of the one judged best. Students have already submitted seven dioramas for consideration and more are expected. Dance is another art form ele mental to Native American cul ture. A competitive Powwow to be held in the Civic Center arena will showcase this tradition. Native Americans will demon strate their skills in four age div isions, including senior men and women, teen men and women, jun ior boys and girls and tiny tots. Powwow competition for $52,000 in prizes will be divided into nine categories, including traditional, fancy, grass, southern straight, southern buckskin, southern cloth, jingle and fancy shawl. Each participant in every aspect of the Exposition must be enrolled as a member of a federally recog nized tribe, ensuring the event's authenticity. Highlights of Native American life such as storytelling, and the music that often accom panies such legends, will be woven into the fabric of Kituwah. The reputation Native Ameri cans have acquired for themselves by serving with valor in the United States armed forces will be repres ented by the Veterans Intertribal Associations. Drama has been an effective sto rytelling technique for thou sands of years, and two plays in the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium of the Civic Center will anchor evenings for the Exposition. Cast members from "Unto These Hills" will perform short, narrative vignettes to tell the story of the Eastern Band of the Chero kee, from 1540 to the removal to Oklahoma, known to the Chero kee as "The Trail Where They 1.1 Yearly $12,247 16,428 20,609 24,790 28,971 33,152 37,333 41,514 7 ' JtT : mf " J ' ' ' 1 l '' l i 9 J James A vino teaches an Alterna tive Education classroom.
