THURSDAY�M,AY 5. 1994, . N • Nauve showcase GO® tribes invited t® Northeast Miami.fest By TATIANA M. 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- r9 v cayne Boulevard Chamber of Commerce. 4rganiiers, including repre- sentatives from Miami, Metro - Dade, Hollywood's Seminole tribe and other lbcal 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 •i`or some- thiq that would encourage coop- eration along the Biscayne Boulevard stretch -- and dis- place. ' crime: Nichols wanted 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 Indian;' fest," Nichols said. ".But thetd were really a .lot: of .Indiahs-40, South Florida." Nichols said the group putting on the show now wants home- owner associations and neigh- bors to lielp 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." 94- 776 . __ --..........r.irwrwrr�•r�+w+w'�,r�,r.�wrrwrr,w�r,.arrrraaM.rr.ww.rr�w�rwr. wws THE HERAt:D, TH[7RSDAY;' iUA'Y &1994 µe Q 1 .Fe 1 *s-to ��,.on ""'tour. .. md.sta-*canso TAVrdWdtWiRH their chants, from the deep, rald.Stsff Wdt� ..

He was the last survivor of a tribe that had been annihilated during the massacres of Native Americans in California during the 1860s and 1870s. One day in 1911, after 40 years in hiding, Ishi walked out of the wilderness and into the white man's world. Newspapers labeled him "the last wild Indian", but to young anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, his appearance was a scientific windfall. Ishi, The Last Yahi skillfully blends haunting photographs, archival footage and actual recordings of Ishi's voice to illuminate the story of his lost way of life, while movingly portraying his resiliency and forgiving spirit.
