Celebrating Tradition by Mdry Ediies with Belinda Locklear Special guests, tours, films, and a Pow Wow were all part of the celebration of American Indian Heritage Week in mid-September. With its historical background as the first American Indian College, PSU was a logical place for these festivities. Approximately 100 people attended the showing of two films which were sponsored by the Robeson County Title IV Indian Education Project. Included among the guests was A. Bruce Jones, the Executive Director of North Carolina Commission of Indian Affairs. North Carolina Indians: 65,000 Strong, a new film, had its premiere showing m the Native American Resource Center. It was followed by a repeat showing of Good to be an Indian — Proud and Free. Dunng the Pow Wow, visitors were entertained by a color ful pageant of native American Indian dancers. The dancers ranged from four to thirteen years of age. Clad in colorful costumes, they danced and sang to a delighted audience. Approximately 1 ,800 public school students attended the festivities on campus. At the end of one tour, a youngster commented, I enjoyed the film. I wish I could come back. This sentiment was echoed by many who participated in the week-long celebration.
