A Kentucky Native American activist
group is tackling the issues of today's
American Indians, including grave
desecration.

More roads and other infrastructure
projects are being built on Native American
burial sites, said Sonny Hensley, the
representative of the American Indian
Movement chapter in Northern Kentucky.

Another problem, according to many
Native Americans. is the trading and selling
of Indian remains. Despite legislation
prohibiting it. Hensley said there’s still a
big market, which allows many individuals
to make underground sales at private farms
and other locations.

"Native American remains are a source
of curiosity," Hensley said. "People even
have them on their coffee tables."

And many Native Americans are
offended by what they see as the
desecration of sacred grounds, which are
frequently excavated by archeologists.

Hensley said an Indian belief says that if
a part of the body or belonging is
uncovered, a person's soul cannot go on.

Hensley said some local universities,
including the University of Cincinnati, the
University of Louisville and UK. have Native
American remains.

Richard Jefferies, anthropology
department chairman, said the remains UK
has were excavated in the l9305. He added
there are no Native American excavations
or any destructive analysis taking place at
UK.

Jefferies said the remains are too old to
pinpoint their origins.

lndian groups must be federally
recognized before reburial actions can be
taken, he said. The AIM is not federally
recognized, according to the US.
Department of Health and Human Services.

Jefferies said some groups want the
remains to be reburied, while others want
to learn more about their ancestors.

This is not the case of the AIM
supporters, who are in favor of reburial:
“After a period of time, remains need to go
back to the people to be reburied they
need to go on their journey," Hensley said.

for lost native heritage

American Indians: UK dean, others discover roots

By Alonso Soto Joya
SIAFF NRIIER

For UK's dean of students.
getting close to his Native
American heritage has been a
catching-up process.

“It is intriguing for me I
need to know from where I
come," Victor Hazard said.

Hazard grew up in Rhode
Island. distanced from the cul
ture and history of his tribe. the
Narragansett, but he was in
daily contact with the indige-
nous people.

His uncles aunts and
cousins actively participated in
the Narragansett tribe and
lived on reservations. Through-
out the years. Hazard became
more interested in the past. pre-
sent and future of his tribe.

“What I came to learn from
my past helped me rationalize
and be more comfortable with
who I am." he said. “It helped
me. as well as my sons and
daughter."

Even though Hazard does
n‘t know any Native Americans
in Kentucky. he said there must
be many people in the state who
have that ancestry and are now.
like him. wanting to know more
about it.

More than 8,000 Kentuck—
ians identified themselves as
Native Americans only. and
24,552 reported Native Ameri-
can as one of their races. ac-
cording to the 2000 US. Census.

At UK. the total enrollment
of Native American students in
2000 was 39. one more than the
1990 total, according to the UK
Office of Assessment and Insti-
tutional Research.

Judy Patton. chairwoman
of the Native American Her-
itage Commission and wife of
Gov. Paul Patton. has Cherokee
heritage on both sides of her
family. She said she is proud of
her ancestry and believes Na-
tive Americans need better rep-
resentation in Kentucky

”They [Native Americans]
were here thousands of Vear
ago: we need to preserVe our
historV and provide cultural ex-

change and understanding."
Patton said.

For Helen Danser. a 61-
yearold consulting pharmacist
from Lexington ﬁnding her Na-
tive American past was a long
and difficult struggle.

After her husband died ﬁve
years ago. Danser discovered
her mother was half Native
American. born with a Native
name and ﬁrst spoke her tribe’s
language.

“My mother was afraid that
if people knew. I would be re-
jected and harassed My fam-
ily never talked about our Na-
tive American ancestry."
Danser said.

But after discovering her na—
tive culture. Danser said she's
lived a fuller life.

“Looking for my ancestry. I
felt more calm' she said. “It was
like I had found my home."

But Kentucky is no longer a
home to any indigenous Ameri-
can Indians. Most were forced
out of the state or died from dis-
eases brought by the Euro
long ago. said Richard Jeffp‘ig‘ies.
an Eastern North America ar-
chaeology expert at UK.

But over the years. members
of different Native American na-
tions have come to Kentucky.
said Gwynn Henderson. a UK

ber of the Native American Her-
itage Commission.

“Despite disease. European
prejudice and movements. there
are still a lot of people who are
living in the state today who are
descendants of Indian people.”
Henderson said.

These descendants are now
facing other problems because of
stereotypes about their culture.
she said. Many organizations
have been created to protect the
rights of Native Americans in
Kentucky. Henderson said.

The Unity Conference. 3 lo.
cal organization of 600 members.
deals with issues concerning Na-
tive Americans and is looking for
state recognition.

Penny Cook. leader of one of
the groups composing the confer
ence. said Kentucky communi-
ties need to understand and not
forget the Native American lega-
cy. To achieve this. education is
fundamental.

“I think we are at the bottom
of the pole from getting grants to
operate centers for the beneﬁt of
Native Americans." she said.
"Our needs are the same as
others."

Minority Affairs
does not recruit
Native Americans

Head count: 39 students
By Alonso Softly:

SIAFF WRITER

Fewer than 40 UK stu~
dents are Native Ameri
cans. though the latest US.
Census counts 6,546 Native
Americans living in Ken-
tucky who are most likely
of college age.

The number of Native
American students at UK
has only increased by one
since 1990, according to the
UK Office of Assessment
and Institutional Data.

Native Americans con-
stitute less than one percent
of UK's 2000 enrollment and
have fallen behind other
groups such as Hispanic-
Americans and Asian-
Americans. which have in-
creased consistently since
1990.

Don Witt. UK Admis-
sions Office director. said
there is no specific recruit-
ing program developed for
Native American students
at the moment. but there
will be a re-evaluation of all
the recruitment programs
in the future.

“We feel it is extremely
important to bring diversi-
ty to the campus. and that‘s
what we will be looking for-
ward to.“ Witt said.

He said the Admissions
Office is not targeting cer-
tain groups of students to
recruit but instead is look-
ing for all different kinds.

Joyce Beatty. the head
of financial aid for minori-
ties. said there are no spe-
cial funds or scholarships
for Native Americans at UK
or at the state level. But Na-
tive American students can
apply for UK scholarships
and ﬁnancial aid like any
others. Beatty said.

Lauretta Byars, associ-
ate provost for Minority Af-
fairs. said the Office of Mi-
nority Affairs does not
specifically target Native
American students. either.

“UK recruits all stu-
dents. but because the popu-
lation of Native Americans
is so small. there are not
any specific programs to
help them," Byars said.
“Ethnicity is not an issue."

Cats ‘topped' in season opener against WKU

WAY! CHAIIEIS | enorotoiron

Raynardo Curry ls fouled on a layup attempt
by Keith Bogans. WKU beat UK 64- 52.

Poor shooting: Cats held to 34 percent
from the field in 64-52 loss to Hilltoppers

By Will Nesser
SPDRISDAILY EDITOR

Western Kentucky did the
little things to find a big win
against UK in the ﬁrst round of
Thursday's National Associa-
tion of Black Coaches Classic at
Rupp Arena.

The Hilltoppers held UK to
33.9 percent shooting and outre-
bounded the Cats 40-38 en rout
to a 64-52 victory.

UK coach Tubby Smith said
the Cats were “outplayed us in
every phase of the game."

“They out~toughed us, they
outworked us. they out-shot us

. it was really a disappointing
effort on our part." he said.

As poorly as UK played. the
Cats remained within striking
distance.

With WKU leading 58-50. a
layup by sophomore guard Ger-
ald Fitch with 2:20 remaining
brought the Cats within six.

On WKU‘s next possession.
senior guard Raynardo Curry
sliced into the lane and charged
into UK senior forward
Tayshaun Prince.

The foul gave UK posses-
sion. but the Cats failed to capi
talize on the turnover.

Sophomore guard Cliff
Hawkins. who started because
of senior J.P. Blevins' ankle in-

jury. penetrated and passed to
junior forward Marvin Stone.
who was fouled.

Stone missed both free-
throw attempts. UK was 12~of~24
from the line.

A 3-pointer by WKU senior
guard Derek Robinson with 42
seconds left sealed the win.

“I felt really confident.“ he
said of the shot. “I felt really
good about letting it go. The
whole game my assistant coach
was telling me ‘Come on D-Rob.
bring us on. bring us on.‘ and I
took the ball at the point and or-
ganized us and got us info of-
fense. I just took a confident
shot at the end and it went in."

A layup by freshman guard
Patrick Sparks and a free-throw
by senior center Chris Marcus
provided the final margin.

UK enjoyed its greatest suc-
cess during an 110 first half
run.

The run enabled the Cats to
turn a 25-17 deficit into a 28-25
lead. but they couldn‘t maintain
their advantage

Robinson said WKU expect-
ed UK to make a run.

“It wasn t like we were
shocked that they were coming
back on us“ he said. “We knew
that we were playing a great
team and they competed. but

we just competed harder."

UK struggled in its half
court offense throughout the
night.

Junior guard Keith Bogans
said UK didn't ﬁnd its rhythm.

“We just weren‘t in sync
tonight — offensively or defen-
sively. It felt like it just wasn't
there“ he said.

Smith said WKU's defense

flustered UK's players into try»
ing to make too many one-on-
one plays.

But for WKU. the win rep-
resented a consummate team
effort.

“I think it was much more
about a total team effort to ﬁnd
a way to win the game." WKU
coach Dennis Felton said of the
victory.

Perhaps this weekend‘s
opening of the French film
Amelie will catch the audiences
attention. The ﬁlm tells the sto—
ry of a Paris girl who. while
spending her time trying to
make everyone around her
happy. ﬁnds love. The ﬁlm won
the People‘s Choice Award at
the 2001 Toronto Film Festival
and is a candidate for an Oscar
nominee for Best Foreign Film.

eign Film has a Pulp Fiction-

Amanda Thompson loves it
when people look twice.

Twice at her art. that is.

Thompson‘s ﬁrst an exhib-
it. titled "The Red Awakening."
is on display at the Heritage Art
Center. The exhibit is Thomp-
son's ﬁrst solo effort. something
she‘s nervous about.

“I‘m pretty anxious about
it " Thompson said, “It‘s a pret»
ty big night. Pretty special."

The exhibit is composed of
19 original pieces that use
mixed media to “convey vari-
ous emotions and interpreta
tions of the human ﬁgure.

The female form becomes
an optical illusion.” she said
describing her work. ”People
have to go past the foreground
to get to the backg1 ound.‘

Most of her works begin
with a background in which
Thompson uses primary colors
to express her emotions. From
there the pieces vary. Some
continue with collages made
from magazine and news a er
clips. as well as origina p10-
togiaphs. drawings and sketch-
es. Future works will include a
new media silk and fiber
Thom son makes herself.

T e final overlay is done
with primary colors. which she
considers extremely im ortant.

“I only use red. yel ow and
blue." Thompson explained.
“Red is passion. yellow is joy
and blue is sadness. These col-
ors can span all areas of the
s ectrum. however. For exam-
p e. blue and yellow form green.
which is envy."

Thom son never mixes col-
ors herse f. but allows them to
blend on the canvas.

“The colors pull out what

they wfant she said. ‘I dont
try to make them do anything
They have a mind of their
own.“

Thompson hopes her pieces
will stir the viewers‘ feelings.

“I'm not so much an artist:
I‘m a messenger." she said. "I
hope they can feel some kind of
emotion coming of out of [the
paintings].“

Thompson chose red as the
main color because she consid-
ers it extremely important

"The first color you see
when you wake up in the morn-
ing isn't the blue of‘a lingering
night or the yellow of a sunrise.
It‘s the red in between." she
said. “It‘s an awakening that's
happening every day. It's a sim-
ple thing that happens every
day. A red is an awakening. or
an opening.

“It's ike we get a new
chance every day." she added.

After graduating in Decent
be1. Thompson will join Ameri
Co1p in Colorado. working fm
inner -city shelters and Habitat
f01 Humanity.

“I think I have so much in-
side of me that i can‘t get it all
out my self. she said.‘ ‘1 think I
can help other people overcome
the barriers they have to deal
with.

Thompson began painting
landscapes at the age of seven.
Some have told her she d only
be able to sell landscapes. How—
ever. 10 of the 19 exhibit pieces
already sold. making Thomp-
son feel like a true artist.

“It‘s a shock.“ she said.
“I‘ve told myself that I'm going
to be a real artist until I sell
some of my work. And I ﬁnally
have."

Thompson added.

Exotic goat
imported
to Louisville

LOUISVILLE - An exotic
and useful goat that
originated in South
Africa is returning for
its second appearance
at the North American
International
Livestock Exposition.

The Boer goat was
Introduced into the
United States less than
IO years ago and is
rising in popularity
among farmers looking
for an alternative to
traditional livestock
and agriculture. It has
a meatier frame than
goats usually found
in Kentucky.

"Over the last couple of
years. the Missomi-
Kentucky-Tennessee-
North Carolina area
has grown
tremendously," said
Bruce Lott, executive
director of the
American Boer Goat
Association in San
Angelo, Texas.

Much of that growth
parallels a steady
demand for goat meat
in ethnic communities,
particularly in major
Eastern cities, Lott
said. The meat is
prized for being low in
fat and cholesterol,
and Boer goats yield
about 25 percent of
their live weight in
edible meat, Lott said.

Tess Caudill. a marketing
specialist for the state
Department of
Agriculture, estimated
the number of goats in
Kentucky has grown
from 14,000 in 1998 to
about I00,000.

University

FRANKFORT - In a
departure from past

united in their
support of higher

It is funding they

not get.

"Whatever you give us.
we‘ll keep this
reform going,"
pledged Gordon
Davies, president of
