August 3, 2006 (Press Release) --
2nd Annual Ioway Tribe History Day at History Center in Red Oak, Iowa
Dr. Bill Green to Discuss Rare Ioway Map and Ioway Village Life
RED OAK, IOWA - The story of Iowa's original Native American inhabitants will be the focus of the 2nd Annual Ioway Tribe History Day at the Montgomery County History Center at 2700 N 4th Street in Red Oak, Iowa on August 12, 2006. Entertaining and educational activities begin at 11:00 a.m. and will feature Native American food, artifacts, music, and discussions. All events are free to the public and suitable for all ages.
The featured keynote speaker will be Dr. Bill Green from the Logan Museum of Anthropology in Beloit, Wisconsin. Dr. Green will discuss the famous No Heart Map presented to the United States government by Ioway leaders No Heart and Moving Rain in 1837 as part of a land claim. He will also describe life in an Ioway village. Green will be featured in the upcoming documentary LOST NATION: THE IOWAY by award-winning documentarians Kelly and Tammy Rundle.
"Maybe this map can link people in Iowa today with those who lived here for hundreds of years in the past," said Green. "And maybe it will show people of Iowa today that we are just the most recent of many, many people who have lived here."
The Ioway once controlled over 60,000 square miles of territory including most of Iowa, and portions of Minnesota and Missouri. Although Iowa was named after the Ioway Indians, all Native Americans were removed from the territory before it became a state. The Ioway have lived on two reservations in Kansas and Oklahoma since the mid to late 1800s.
Also featured at Ioway Tribe History Day will be archeological artifacts of the longtime Ioway village site near Oskaloosa known as Iowayville. Owner Dale Essick of Ottumwa will be on hand to discuss his collection with visitors.
Ted Brown of Essex, a Kiowa Tribal member, will play and discuss Indian flute music. The event will also feature Indian tacos, an authentic tipi, and a tanned buffalo hide. Members of the Ioway Tribe will also be in attendance.
The newly opened Montgomery County History Center is the home of the Montgomery County Historical Society and museum.
Schedule:
11:00 a.m. Indian tacos
12:30 a.m. Flute music discussion
1:30 p.m. Dr. Bill Green "No Heart" map discussion
