lw. 4 .ae -- Realizing their potential Developing to one's potential has become a popular goal in today's society. Two events were held in the spring to help participants realize that goal. First was the 12th Annual Indian Symposium which directly addressed the negative stereotypes given American Indians. Speakers shared their views and explanations of how these stereotypes can be avoided. Bob Hicks, the only American Indian to receive acceptance to the American Film Institute presented his film Return of the Country. In dealing with public education, Rev. Martin Brokenleg, a priest at the Sioux Falls, SD. Orthodox Mission, suggested that Indian children don't do well in language and math; instead they tend to be more artisticXcreative. The workshop Making Your Self Image Work For You was headed by Mr. Howard Rainer, director of the American Indian Services and Research Center, Brigham Young University. 22 Reflections Rainer urged lndian youth to be ready forthe doorofopportunitywhen itknocks. lnorderforthelndian youth to become assertive and productive, Indian adults must overcome their self-doubts and self-pity and serve as strong positive examples for their young.
