Native Americans will meet at traditional gathering
Native Americans representing
tribes from across North America
will gather in Asheville September
25-29 to share traditional cultures
and customs at Kituwah The
American Indian National Arts
Exposition. '
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

prenticeships and scholarships to
study Native American arts. 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
