There was no shortage of inter
esting people, events, contests and
festivities at the first Sandy Creek
Indian Row Wow and Rendezvous at
Athens’ Sandy Creek Park this past
weekend
Nor was there a shortage of cu

400 people visited the three day
festival to sample Native American
Indian culture, said Nora Jones.
Correction
In Friday’s edition of The Red and Black, the story titled ‘‘Tele-
courses bring school closer to home” contained an error The course
fee is $40 a quarter hour plus the $15 royalty fee
Due to an error in editing, another story in Friday’s edition con
tained the wrong byline. Rich Faulkner authored ‘‘SCAARI petitions for
committee seat.”
It is the policy of The Red and Black to correct all errors of fact in its
news columns. Corrections normally run on Page 2.

secretary of the Clarke County
Parks and Recreation Department
The Georgia Department of Nat
ural Resources, Clarke County
Parks and Recreation and the Na
tive American Cultural Preserva
tion Society organized the event. It
was the largest gathering of Indians
in Georgia since the Trail of Tears
in 1838 when the Cherokees were
forced to leave the state
Kent Kilpatrick. Clarke County
assistant director of Recreation,
said 300 to 400 Indians from
throughout the United States and
Canada attended the Pow Wow
Some Pow Wow spectators came
from out of state to look and browse
among the various tooths of au
thentic Indian jewelry, crafts, art
work, clothes and regalia.
“I enjoy going to pow wows 1 like
the pow wows that are for Indians,
by Indians, and with Indians,” said
Sally Taylor, who drove two nights
and three days to attend the Pow
Wow from her home in Florida
Others seemed to be more fas
cinated with the symbolism and
spirit of Indian philosophy, religion
and way of life.
"The Pow Wow is to show one
side, but 30 percent of the activity is
the physical and 70 percent is spiri
tual," said Wah-Lun-Syn, a native
Georgian who has lived and studied
extensively in Malasia and now tea
ches martial arts in Atlanta.
One spectator was a non-Indian
who was aware of native American
ways and beliefs and gave up his
given name in favor of "Snowbear."
Snowbear said he has been
studying the uses and nature of Ap
palachian plants for the past 16
years and lives with his family in
North Carolina He values the tea
ching powers of nature, and wants
to raise his family in a clean and
natural environment, he said.
As Snowbear sat on the outside of
the Indian fire ring where the
dancing competitions took place, he
quietly knelt on the ground and beat
a long wooden staff he was carrying
to the rythym of the Indian drum
ming. He seemed content and at
ease as he watched the men and
women lose themselves in their mu
sical chants and dancing inside the
ring.
He talked of the particular partic
ipants that he felt weren’t merely
dancing, but opening their hearts
and souls to the movements of their
bodies and the beating of the drums
Another visitor, born Richard
Dennis, who calls himself Richard
Running Fox because of his Indian
heritage, is known as a

The gathering was
the largest
gathering of Indians
in Georgia since the
Trail of Tears in
1838.
"buckskinner " This term, he said,
is derived from the mountain men
who lived among the Indians in the
early 1800s They were called
buckskinners because of their
deerskin clothing.
"The mountain men adopted the
Indian ways of life because of effi
ciency and survival," he said.
Running Fox sat inside of his
teepee at Sandy Creek (one that he
constructed himself from canvas
and long wooden poles), lit an old
oil-burning lamp and talked about
the importance of respecting na
ture
"People destroy the woods now
All I can do is to try to leave some
thing better than the way I found
it,” he said.
Of course, no pow wow is com
plete without Indians The dance
area was surrounded by a ring of
Indians who set up booths to show
and sell many types of arts and
crafts, and Indian valuables
One such booth was operated by
an Indian who calls himself Charlie
Clarke. His Indian name is Ly-li-y-
We-llooks. His Indian heritage is
Lumbi, a nation of Indians origi
nally from North Carolina, he said
“My name means one who looks
for words to educate others," he
said. "My greatest dream in my life
is to set up an Indian village and
show people how the Indians sur
vive, their way of life."
He said that the fire in the middle
of the dance ring is the "flame of
the heart."
"It keeps everything alive. The
Indians circle around the ring to
protect the ring," he said. “The
drum is the heartbeat of our Indian
Nation. Without the drum we
wouldn’t have a pow wow."
Several booths down, Tom Obo-
sawin , a half Abenaki Indian/half
French man, was selling Indian fry
bread He lives on the Odanak Res
ervation in Quebec, Canada, he
said.
"It's a good sign to see people fi
nally recognizing the history of a
country the way it actually was
rather than the way it was por
trayed,” he said.
Sandy Creek Park officials were
pleased with the turnout and Kilpa
trick said that as a result of good
feedback from the public, the event
will most likely become an annual
one.
The money raised during the
event was used to help pay expenses
to operate the Pow Wow, he said
