"That the Indians are here today - alive and well and making a contribution." The former Native American studies professor said she also wanted to clear up stereotypes about American Indians. "There are all these miscon ceptions about Indians," Tiller said. "That we get everything free and we get checks from the government and that's why we don't need to work and we're lazy.

Sheriff explores link between meth, arrowheads SEARCY, Ark. (Al) - The time consuming and methodical motion of searching for arrow heads on farmland and in river beds seems to appeal to meth amphctaminc addicts, a sheriff says. White County Sheriff Pat liarrett says after more than 100 search warrants, he has come ro expect arrowheads, many thousands of years old, when he storms the home of suspected tncfh makers. "I noticed it when 1 first started, It just seemed there were always Indian arrowheads and I couldn't figure it out," CJarrett said. Tony Young of Velvet Ridge says the sheriff is on to some thing. "You get kind-of wired on that stuff and you need to have something to do," said Young, who is in the White County jail awaiting trial on mcthamphct aminc charges. Young, 36, sold his arrow head collection to a local dealer for $1,250 1 enough to pay for a defense attorney, He said "head hunting" filled his need for activity when he was on meth. "You just get to walking and looking at the ground," .Young said. "You get to looking and an arrowhead catches your eye." Many nights Young found himself in fields full of fellow arrowhead hunters. Now Young is in jail, surrounded by fellow inmates who say they also searched for arrowheads before they were incarcerated. "The strangest things you find out there is other dope-heads," said Young, who added that drug dealers and us ers often trade the arrowheads among themselves. But local farmers find the groups of drugged arrowhead searchers an annoyance. "To me arrowhead hunting is the same as mc going to a stranger's garden and picking his tomatoes," said Jerry Smith, who farms in nearby Bradford. "That land and what's on it be longs to me." The searchers also may be threatening the integrity of ar cheological sites, said Arkansas State archeologist Ann Early. "It is very troubling for a variety of reasons that the cul ture of meth use has embraced the idea of collecting relics," F.arly said. "I know that people using mcthamphctaminc are out collecting at sites. Some have been digging at rock shelters in . the Ozarks." While surface hunting for arrowheads is legal, trespassing and digging through archeologi cal sites is illegal, Early said. In April 1998, two Bentonville men were charged and later convicted of murder for leaving two young children in a hot unventilated car for about eight hours while they hunted for arrowheads. The men were under the influence of drugs at the time, police said. 13 Wtii $35 Square Foot!
