More than 6,000 revel in Native American culture
The Sun – Naperville (IL) September 29, 2008 | Hank Beckman Dancing under trees just starting to show their fall colors, representatives of various Illinois tribes brought Native American culture to Naperville on Sunday.
The Midwest SOARRING Foundation held its 14th Annual Harvest Pow Wow at Naper Settlement this weekend.
More than 6,000 visitors from across Chicagoland attended and helped celebrate the core mission of MSF. SOARRING is an acronym for “Save Our Ancestors Remains and Resources Indigenous Network Group.” “We want to create tribal awareness and an intertribal community,” MSF President and Founder Joseph Standing Bear Schranz said. nativeamericanculture.org native american culture
Schranz explained that many Native American burial grounds and sacred land are in danger of being developed commercially. While the 600 pre-1492 tribes have been greatly reduced in number, Illinois tribes such as the Illinois, Ojibwe and Miami are fighting to hold onto sacred land and preserve the environment.
“We’ve saved over 1,400 acres in Illinois,” Schranz said.
One of those success stories is Plum Island, on the Illinois River just downstream of Starved Rock Dam and 75 miles southwest of Chicago.
Some of the island, traditional Native American burial ground, was ripe to be developed. But MSF bought part of it and saved it from the bulldozer.
“We bought it back,” Schranz said. “It’s an Eagle sanctuary now.” The Harvest Pow Wow had something for everyone interested in Native American culture. here native american culture
Some booths offered Native American jewelry, beads, clothing and artwork. Others were dedicated to Native American history and cultural artifacts.
There was even a petition for people to sign protesting Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s planned budget cuts at Blackhawk State Park.
Native American flute player Al Jewer and singer Michael Bucher entertained the crowd with traditional Native American music.
Ojibwe Elder Nick Hockings gave cultural presentations on Ojibwe culture, fire starting and storytelling.
But the most popular attraction both days was the Grand Entry and Invocation.
A military color guard, complete with the flags of America, Canada, the U.S. Marine Corp and the Naperville American Legion Post No. 43, led traditional dancers onto a field surrounded by seating organized in the Native American Circle of Life.
The Grand Entry was emceed by Leonard Malatare, who noted that Native American culture honored warriors.
Prominent among them was Zach Arnold, a 2004 graduate of Neuqua Valley High School who lost his left leg in an IED explosion in Iraq.
Arnold is not Native American, but he was honored for his service with an Eagle feather and Native American medal.
“I’ve never been part of anything like this before,” Arnold said. “It’s nice to get to know other people’s cultures and to get all these Native American vets together.” Ojibwe Head Female Shawndra Campbell wanted people to know that Native Americans are an integral part of American culture.
“Native American people live in the everyday world, but we’re not mascots,” she said. “I work in surgery and my two daughters go to school like everyone else.” Aiyana Campbell, 12, said that she and her sister, Adob?, 12, have been performing Native American dances “since we could walk.” Visitors were impressed.
“It’s not my first time here,” Kim Burns said. “I love how they interpret their history through dance and music.” Naperville native Sandra Inzerra now lives in Chicago, but made a point of coming back for the Harvest Pow Wow.
“It’s really nice to see the culture,” she said. “I was impressed how intense the dancing and music were.” Bill and Donna Plumb appreciated the honoring of the warrior.
“We’ve been coming a long time,” Donna Plumb said. “It’s awesome the way they treat their veterans.” Comment at napersun.com Dancers walk into the Grand Entry performance Sunday during the 14th Annual Harvest Pow Wow at Naper Settlement. Corey R. Minkanic / Special to The Sun Hank Beckman
