WITH Herald Staff Writer Picture the nimble bodies of Native American dancers — in feathery, buckskin and beadwork regalia — hopping to the staccato bang of drums in front of hun- dreds of teepees. Hear their chants, from the deep, guttural notes to -the high-pitched wails. See their wares, carved, sculpted and woven with their own hands. For the planners of a powwow in Northeast Miami, it's as good as done. They see it, hear it and feel it, even though -the Native American Cultural Festival is scheduled for December. "It's really going to be a very fine educational program and a big shot in the arm for Miami's Upper East Side," said Don Hin- son, director of the Greater Bis- cayne Boulevard Chamber of Commerce. Organizers, including repre- sentatives from Miami, Metro - Dade, Hollywood's Seminole tribe and other Ibcal organiza- tions, invited some 600 tribes from North and South America to the festival scheduled for Dec. 1-4 at Northeast Miami's Legion Memorial Park, 6447 NE Sev- enth Ave. The idea came from Darrell Nichols, a Miami police officer in the Northeast area. Nichols, /who is part Cherokee and Sioux and adopted two Mohawk chil- dren, was searching 'ior some- thing that would encourage coop- eration along the Biscayne Boulevard stretch — and dis- place crime. Nichols waned something that would bring in tourists and stimulate businesses. "I guess it was a little selfish of me because of my background and heritage to have an Indiana fest," Nichols said. "But there were really _a _.lot: oE'-.India" South Florida." - Nichols said the group putting. on the show now wants home- owner associations'. and neigh bors to help plan and execute the idea. Planners also are looking for business sponsors who can give money, in -kind donations and time. Part of the proceeds of the festival will be donated to a Native American . Scholarship Fund administered through Barry University. "We want to share who Native Americans are," Nichols said, "and what they contributed'to' the American people."
