["CAMPO -- The Campo Indian band is using a $560,000 federal grant to build
a new water system for a large area of the reservation in which existing
wells are producing water that isn't fit to drink. . . . The grant will be
used to drill new wells and construct a 55,000-gallon storage tank on a
southwestern portion of the reservation."]

Cavinder, Fred. "New Clinic for Native Americans," The Indianapolis News,
27 July 1999, A10.
["During years of teaching nursing at IUPUI and trips West to reservations,
Marguerite Casey of Greenwood came to some conclusions about American
Indians in Indianapolis. "The Indians don't have a common place to gather
and they get lost in the crack of urban environment," said Casey. Now her
interest in this problem, which in her case focuses on health care, has a
potential solution. A free clinic for health screening of American Indians
is set to open on Southside Indianapolis at the Garfield Park United Church
of Christ off Raymond Street. Money, as always has been the case, is
delaying the clinic. Not lack of it exactly, but a delay in the check
coming through. The Indiana State Department of Health has funded it at $
60,000. The clinic also hopes for funds from the Indiana Minority Health
Coalition, which already has funded the year of ground work in establishing
the site."]

Dempster, Lisa. "Hunt for Missing Man Strains Town-Reserve Ties," Calgary
Herald, 27 July 1999, A1.
["BASSANO -- Two things are known for certain. Alex Sanchez and his '84
Ford Mustang have disappeared from the Siksika reserve and there's a large
metal object at the bottom of the Bow River. The rest is rumour and
resentment, gripping residents in Siksika First Nation and the town of
Bassano, about 90 kilometres east of Calgary. Some Siksika residents
believe that 19-year-old Alex simply drove away after a party on the
reserve. Others, mostly off- reserve neighbours, hint at a darker fate --
he never made it off the reserve, a fight got out of hand, he was killed,
and his body and car were dumped in the river. . . . The search for Alex
has driven a wedge between the two communities. Some Siksika residents
were startled to see white strangers combing their yards for clues, and
called police. ''The initial search wasn't well co-ordinated . . . the
community wasn't made aware of it,'' says Siksika Chief Darlene Yellow Old
Woman-Munro. ''I think the bad feelings arose, because there were a lot of
accusations and allegations made. This, of course, raises our guard in the
community. . . ." Yellow Old Woman-Munro hopes the search for Alex Sanchez
hasn't poisoned relations between the 4,500-member First Nation and Bassano
residents. Although relations have always been at arm's-length,
''certainly there's never been any animosity between the two,'' she says."]

["BISMARCK, N.D. -- The state's five tribal colleges are collaborating with
North Dakota State University to boost interest among American Indian
students in math, science and engineering. The program is designed to
motivate Indian children to pursue careers in those fields and then nurture
them during their studies at tribal colleges and ultimately NDSU, said G.
Padmanabhan, the university's chair of civil engineering and construction.
Indians make up less than 5 percent of the students at NDSU majoring in a
math, science or engineering fields, Padmanabhan said. . . . Carol Davis,
vice president of Turtle Mountain Community College in Belcourt, said
children growing up on reservations generally aren't exposed to math and
science careers."]

["Lincoln -- Nine people charged with storming a police barricade in
Whiteclay, Neb., plan to use their court cases to argue Indian treaty
claims to the village. Most of the nine were scheduled to make their first
court appearances today in Sheridan County Court. . . . Those charged plan
to vigorously defend their rights to demonstrate. They also plan to argue
that Whiteclay belongs to the Oglala Sioux under an 1868 treaty and that
the Nebraska troopers were trespassing on Indian property, Poor Bear said.
. . . The filing of charges ended speculation that Sheridan County
authorities would drop the citations rather than allow the controversial
cases to come to court." SEE ALSO "Whiteclay Protestors Plan to Argue

Wilson, Iain. "Ghost Dance Shirt's Return Ridiculed; Spalding Questions
Relic's Authenticity," The Herald (Glasgow), 27 July 1999, 8.
["THE former director of Glasgow's museums last night ridiculed the city's
return of the ghost dance shirt to Native Americans in South Dakota. Mr
Julian Spalding - speaking on the eve of repatriation - not only questioned
motives behind the return but the shirt's authenticity. His comments will
prove offensive to many and the Lakota Sioux in particular, who believe the
tunic was stripped from a warrior shot dead at the massacre of Wounded Knee
in December 1890. However, Mr Spalding is adamant scientific tests never
proved there was a bullet hole in the shirt, let alone that there was blood
on it. . . . Above all, Mr Spalding questioned the shirt's authenticity
because it was a gift from one George Crager, an interpreter travelling
with the circus who had already received the then considerable sum of
£12,000 for other Native American relics. Crager had visited Wounded Knee
at "an unknown date" after the massacre and it was hard to see why he did
not try to sell rather than dispose of such an important item. Although
doubting the shirt's authenticity, Mr Spalding further argued last night
that it would be of far greater value if retained by Glasgow rather than
handed to the Wounded Knee Survivors Association more than 100 years after
the event. He fears it will hardly add a footnote to visitors'
understanding when "tacked on to the end of a line of genuine ghost dance
shirts" in a future museum of Wounded Knee in the US."]
