Kerman police 'shake- down' illegal aliens
Kerman--Seeing a police car
directly behind him, the driver
paid extra attention to stopping
at the intersection of State Highways 145 and 180, the busiest
corner in this rural town, 15
miles west of Fresno.
But, according to the driver,
the Kerman policeman followed
him as he made a left turn and
with red lights on, pulled him
over about a mile west of the
intersection.
"He said I dido 't signal and
that I didn't stop at the sign,"
said the 26-year-old driver.
This would seem to be just
another irate citizen complaining because he got a ticket. But
this driver is not a citizen - he,
and the three other men with him,
are illegal aliens.
This particular incident brought
to the surface what one county
official called a shakedown of
lllegal aliens by the 8-man Kerman police force.
It also resulted in the Fresno
County District Attorney advising
the Kerman City Council to stop
its police from arresting illegal
aliens simply -for not being able
to show identification.
In an independent interview
with La Voz, three of the Mexicans caught that day talked about ·
their arrest and subsequent release by the Kerman Police.
Two were from the state of
J alisco and the other was from
the state of Nayarit , Mexico.
All three had just gone to a local store in downtown Kerman
after working in the almond or.chards of a nearby ranch.
All agreed that they had not
been mistreated by the officer.
"He just asked me for my license and asked them for their
papers," said the driver nodding
toward his companion;.
"He also said he had been
chasing me for·about three miles,
but I said it was less than one
mile because I was looking at
him through the mirror all the
time."
A woman who was the owner
of the house they were_in and of
the trailer they lived in, satd that
was correct because they were
stopped only a short distance
from the intersection stated on
the ticket.
The driver said that a young
man of Mexican descent, in his
early 20s was riding with the
officer and that he was the one
who spoke to them in Spanish.
When they couldn't provide
proper identificaUon they were
placed under arrest and taken to
jail.
One of the men, a tall slenper
youth from Jalisco, said that they
were ·nervous and had resigned
themselves to the fact that they
would soon be going back home.
•we were already making our-·
they were staying in _heard of
their problem and was outraged
at the way the police treated them.
She went to the justice of the
peace in Kerman and told him of
their plight.
Justice Court Judge Earl O.
,Christiansen agreed with her
and said he had refused to hear
other such cases and had given
back the money to the police
with orders for them to return it
to the aliens.
I}ut much of the money was
never returned, the judge told a
reporter'; because most of the
aliens would list a general de_li very number as their address
and this made it difficult to trace
them after they were released.
The three Mexicans showed
their respective citations and
receipts for their bail. The driver's was for $100 and the citation was for a traffic violation,
"running a red light" and not
having a valid California drivers
licence. It had expired on his
birthday, last August 20th.

Man': a funny series or
Freddie Prinze able to make people
laugh even when they don't want to
By Ernesto Moreno
Chico: (in office) If you want me
to leave - tell me to leave, if I
believe you I will leave. (leaves
to work on car)
The Man: (In office speaking to
the Lord) I see I won ' t get any
help from you. How will I do it?
(He goes into garage to speak with
Chico - jumping up and down -)
I want you to go-go-go-!!!
Chico: I don't believe you.
And so it goes. With Freddie
Prinze as the Vietnam War veteran who has returned to his home
"barrio" in Los Angeles to go to
work as a mechanic for a crusty
old man, played by Jack Albertson.
Although it seems to be a takeoff on the •Sanford and Son"
series, the change of ghetto is
refreshing.
Especially to the
Southwest audience of Chicanos.
Freddie Prinze, the actor who
portrays Chico, a well-meaning
Chicano youth, has the basic
skills needed for his. character.
He has the ability to make you
laugh at things you wouldn't necessarily laugh at. . At times, as
the show progresses, the comedy
does lag, but I feel as the show
selves comfortable to wait for
the 'migra'," he smiled, adding
that the officer then came to the
cell and told the driver that they
could be let out.
The driver, a Mexican-Indian
from Nayarit, said the policeman told him that if he paid $100
he would be free to go and get
more money to also get his
friends out.
He said they all chipped in
their money to raise the $100
and that when he was about to be
released the officer said, ~Rem ember, get the money for them
or we'll call the border patrol
in the morning."
He said he went to the "patron"
of the ranch he was working for
and borrowed the needed cash.
They explained that what they
thought was a fine, did not seem
too much to them. They compared it to the fee they had to pay
for getting smuggled into the US.
•ws better to pay $65 or $100
than the $200-300 we have to pay
the coyote." one said.
But the owner of the trailer
continues both the produ.cers and
actors will learn from their mistakes.
Chico is constantly at odds with
the old man who vociferously
proclaims his dislikes for Mexicans and all other non-WASPS
a la Archie Bunker, the Chicano
comes across well and without
loss of identity.
At every turn Chico gets the
best of the situation.
Jack Albertson plays a good
and believable heavy. Chico's
jokes are centered on the old
man's humorous outlook at the
changing scene around him.
The show does not only deal
with the Anglo vs. Chicano format, but goes against all the current accepted targets of all
minorities that are currently on
the scene.
Although the program can stand
improvement, it is a breakthrough for La Raza. It helps to

dispel some of the myths about
the bandit or sleazy type of character past Chicanos have been
relegated to.
Maybe, someday a Chicano will
able to actually play a Chicano
on TV!
Chicano stereotype?
"Chico and the Man," a new series on ABC this fall, has caused
some controversy among Chicano viewers. The setting is in a ba;rrio
in East Los Angeles, and a Puerto Rican, not a Chicano, plays

. reviews, see the show, and decide for yourself whether the Chicano
has made a step forward, or has had the r.ug pulled out from under

time selling their products over
there," Chavez said.
The UFWl. president said the
boycott would be at the labor unipn level, rather than at the con~ sumer level, with workers refusing to unload American
grapes.
Chavez said 14 per cent of
American-grown table grapes go
to Europe and that market is
"very important" to U.S. ·grow- ers.
'New' stereotype

· · 'h O kay '?.
--IS It
By Ricardo Rubio
Weil, it finally happened. The
television networks have finally
given · up using the old stereotypes of the Chicano - you know,
the dirty bandit, the lazy siesta
taker, the sleek-haired Latin
lover.
Now, NBC has found a new
stereotype - they must have done
some heavy research and deep
thinking. The network b r a i n s
really dug far and deep to find
this role; role that really spells
socio-economic success and portrays the Chicano in a normal,
everyday way - as a mechanic original, huh?
Except maybe to any Chicano
kid that's had to go through his
junior high days of inept counseling, where he is urged to seek
a successful career in the
grease-pits, knee deep in a Chevrolet's regurgitation.
And who would they pick to
portray this out-a-sight, fantastically hip Chicano veteran?
Why none other than an authentic
"brown" - a Hungarican (to use
his own wor~:I). Who else?
Certainly not a Chicano, they're
probably all working in a garage
somewhere.
The din of the Asian-American
had all but died down over their
displeasure of the selection of
a caucasian to play the star role
in •Kung-Fu." How did ABC explain that one? Why the· role was
of a half-breed, half Chinese
and half American. Only an anglo
can play a hall-breed?

In Wednesday's Fresno Bee, a

been misquoted about his attitudes toward Mexican aliens in
this country.

made remarks about Mexicans'
propensity for violence, and how

· Editorial
•what's $65 as I ong as yu r
Kerman cops and racismi
In a few articles this month
the Fresno Bee has exp0sed a
situation that has been common
knowledge to Chicano residents
in Kerman for quite some time.
The stories by Bee reporter
Ron Taylor .reveal what at least
one county official has termed a
"shakedowntt of illegal aliens in
Kerman, by its 8-man police
force.
And they also reveal the racist
and prejudicial attitude the chiefl
of police has towards persons
of Mexican descent.
First the Shakedown:
Instead of calling the border
patrol when they had illegal aliens
in custody, the Kerman police
would arrest them and force them
to post a $65 bail and then let
them go free.
~ith the same intellect e-xhibited by those late-movie TV
cowboy-sheriffs, who were controlled and owned by the local
land-baron-rancher, the chief of
police explained his policy was
adopted because "farmers came
piling down on us" for interfering
with the work force.
free to work out on the ranch
ag in, boy? Jes' don't show
up around town no more, ya
hear?"
man City Attorney, who said there
had been "letters of complaint"
by local citizens of Mexican descent. These complaints were
investigated by the chief of police.
That's like having sent Hitler
to investigate himself to see if
there would have been grounds to
press charges at Nuremberg!
But there is hope. ·
Much the same circumstances
existed at another rural community in western Fresno County.
The City of Huron had to get
an entire new police force last
summer - and a new chief. ·
It took a while before investigations were conducted and the
grip of fascism which that police
force had on the people of Huron
was made to let .go. But it was
done.
It is time for the citizenry 01
Kerman to do the same.

Indians used
for mon~tary gain
Attention all Am~rican Indian
Students If you are planning to attend
the fair this weekend, be sure to
register your disgust, displeasure, and disapproval(whichever
suits you, if all three, so much ·
the better), with the operators
of two concessions ~ealing with
American Indian themes .
Th~ first rip-off can be found
in a far corner of a large canvas
tent marked, I believe, "Commercial Exhibits." This tent is
situated near the entrance to the
midway. There you will ·come
across a collection of reproduced
photographs of numerous 'Indian
. C hieftans and various tribal representatives that gathered for an
exposition in Chicago, around
1888.
This collection, in and of itself, is worth merit. This display, interspersed with short
quotes of some of the more famous Chiefs, is interesting, and
I'm afraid, inspirationally designed.
The purpose of that design
being monetary gain.
The exhibit is set up in such a
manner, with the specially selected readings, as to impart a
deep feeling of empathy and inspiration to the viewer. The emotional buildup reaches its pitch as
the patron slowly makes his way
to the end of the large, A-framed ·
type easels to which the pictures
are posted.
Here . a non-Indian patiently
waits behind a counter that has on
display - for sale - everything
from artificial beadwork to expensive paintings depicting Indians in various settings. (You
know , the old "pre pa ring to attack
the wagon train" type scenes.)
The paraphernalia includes second rate turquqise jewelry, and
high priced reading material for
the more intellectually minded.
Some comments overheard,
while I stood on the other side of
the easels went like this:
"Their women look exactly like
th.eir men" solemnly stated one
individual, with an air of knowledgeable, wise, finality.
"The Kiowas, they are the
meanest savages of all the Indians, them and the Apaches,"
exclaimed another wide-eyed,
freckle-faced soul, with a frogcroaking larynx housed in an
Ichabod Crane neck.
After I had seen and heard
enough I discovered that some
{>eople can become mighty blind
and deaf when all they can see
and hear is dirty, wrinkled, green
dollar bills unfolding before
.them. I couldn't .break the trance
the operators were caught in. I
shrugged,· and after being pushed
aside, I looked pityingly at the
line forming to buy these trinkets.
Anyway., the machined, cheap,
meaningless beadwork was selling like hotcakes. Those people.
with their swelling hearts, couldn't pull the money out of their
pockets fast enough.
The second activity I refer to
is the one where two women .are
adorned in Indian costumes. (In
this instance the term "costume"
is quite appropriate.) They dance
around and supposedly tell of the
Indian way of life. (You ma,• have
seen their picture in the Sunday
edition of the Fresno Bee.)
Well, in this instance, according to one of the students that reported back to me, a participant
is supposed to be a Mandan Indian. In addition, this woman got
quite defensive when questioned
by the student regarding her participation in this •misrepresentati ve act.
Protesting lawyers refused license
SANTA FE, N,M. - Two young
lawyers have been refused licenses to practice law in New
Mexico because they wore protest arm bands at swearing-in
ceremonies.
Refused admission to the state
bar Wednesday were John B.
Leyba, a recent University of
New Mexico Law School graduate
working with the Albuquerque
public defender's office, and
Gordon Berman ofOregon, who is
with the Santa Fe Legal Aid program.
They indicated their black arm
bands were an expression of sympathy with demonstrators who
disrupted the swearing.:.in ceremony. The demonstrators say
the results of the July bar examinations indicate a pattern of
discrimination against minorities. Leyba _and Berman passed
the exams.
Of a dozen successful lawyer
candidat~s who originally wore
armbands to the ceremony, only
L_e yba and Berman were ejected.
Sarah Singleton of Santa Fee
declined to enter the courtroom
rather than remove her arm band.
Jeffrey Levin of Alubquerque removed his -when directed todo so.
The four had been escorted
from the House of Representatives chambers earlier in the
day on orders of Chief Justice
John McManus, who said the
ceremony was not the appropriate place for protest. The result
was :i gallery demonstration that
stoppetl the mass ceremonies.
Part of their "act" (and that is
all it is), consists of giving away
headbands and handing out Indian
names faster than people could
buy that artificial beadwork in
the other tent.
I'm surprised some sort of
package deal wasn't worked out.
whereby one could get a necklace.
a headband, a "real''Indiannaine,
all for ·paying a nominal fee to
hear the "legends" fly.
A fair is the last place for
the shoddy display and tasteless
exhibition of sacred beliefs ,
legends· and unique ways of life
that are Indian. These performances are an insult to thos.e
who treasure their Indian heritage and a disgrace to those who
honestly practice their Indian
way of life.
Attacking situations like these
are just- as important as exposing reservation conditions, land
stealing, Bureau of Ipdian Affairs bungles, and Constitutional
double-standards.
It is important because once
again, the truth is being distorted,
stereoty,pes are revived and paraded around for the sole purpose
of making money.
In short, this form of exploitation is just as detrimental to
Indians as cultural genocide issues, rights to economic, social
equality, land claims, water
rights, and any one of the numerous other conflicts which confront our people who struggle
under the label of the "Indian
Problem."
So, go , lodge your prote st and
join me by sending letters to the
Fair manager , letting him know
that we don't want to see these
people , or any others like them
around next year .
Cast your pehble into the lake
of self-determination so that we
can--c.reate a wave that will someday wash away all things like this.

A Seymour Borde & Associates Release
Kerman--Seeing a police car
directly behind him, the driver
paid extra attention to stopping
at the intersection of State Highways 145 and 180, the busiest
corner in this rural town, 15
miles west of Fresno.
But, according to the driver,
the Kerman policeman followed
him as he made a left turn and
with red lights on, pulled him
over about a mile west of the
intersection.
"He said I dido 't signal and
that I didn't stop at the sign,"
said the 26-year-old driver.
This would seem to be just
another irate citizen complaining because he got a ticket. But
this driver is not a citizen - he,
and the three other men with him,
are illegal aliens.
This particular incident brought
to the surface what one county
official called a shakedown of
lllegal aliens by the 8-man Kerman police force.
It also resulted in the Fresno
County District Attorney advising
the Kerman City Council to stop
its police from arresting illegal
aliens simply -for not being able
to show identification.
In an independent interview
with La Voz, three of the Mexicans caught that day talked about ·
their arrest and subsequent release by the Kerman Police.
Two were from the state of
J alisco and the other was from
the state of Nayarit , Mexico.
All three had just gone to a local store in downtown Kerman
after working in the almond or.chards of a nearby ranch.
All agreed that they had not
been mistreated by the officer.
"He just asked me for my license and asked them for their
papers," said the driver nodding
toward his companion;.
"He also said he had been
chasing me for·about three miles,
but I said it was less than one
mile because I was looking at
him through the mirror all the
time."
A woman who was the owner
of the house they were_in and of
the trailer they lived in, satd that
was correct because they were
stopped only a short distance
from the intersection stated on
the ticket.
The driver said that a young
man of Mexican descent, in his
early 20s was riding with the
officer and that he was the one
who spoke to them in Spanish.
When they couldn't provide
proper identificaUon they were
placed under arrest and taken to
jail.
One of the men, a tall slenper
youth from Jalisco, said that they
were ·nervous and had resigned
themselves to the fact that they
would soon be going back home.
•we were already making our-·
they were staying in _heard of
their problem and was outraged
at the way the police treated them.
She went to the justice of the
peace in Kerman and told him of
their plight.
Justice Court Judge Earl O.
,Christiansen agreed with her
and said he had refused to hear
other such cases and had given
back the money to the police
with orders for them to return it
to the aliens.
I}ut much of the money was
never returned, the judge told a
reporter'; because most of the
aliens would list a general de_li very number as their address
and this made it difficult to trace
them after they were released.
The three Mexicans showed
their respective citations and
receipts for their bail. The driver's was for $100 and the citation was for a traffic violation,
"running a red light" and not
having a valid California drivers
licence. It had expired on his
birthday, last August 20th.

Man': a funny series or
Freddie Prinze able to make people
laugh even when they don't want to
By Ernesto Moreno
Chico: (in office) If you want me
to leave - tell me to leave, if I
believe you I will leave. (leaves
to work on car)
The Man: (In office speaking to
the Lord) I see I won ' t get any
help from you. How will I do it?
(He goes into garage to speak with
Chico - jumping up and down -)
I want you to go-go-go-!!!
Chico: I don't believe you.
And so it goes. With Freddie
Prinze as the Vietnam War veteran who has returned to his home
"barrio" in Los Angeles to go to
work as a mechanic for a crusty
old man, played by Jack Albertson.
Although it seems to be a takeoff on the •Sanford and Son"
series, the change of ghetto is
refreshing.
Especially to the
Southwest audience of Chicanos.
Freddie Prinze, the actor who
portrays Chico, a well-meaning
Chicano youth, has the basic
skills needed for his. character.
He has the ability to make you
laugh at things you wouldn't necessarily laugh at. . At times, as
the show progresses, the comedy
does lag, but I feel as the show
selves comfortable to wait for
the 'migra'," he smiled, adding
that the officer then came to the
cell and told the driver that they
could be let out.
The driver, a Mexican-Indian
from Nayarit, said the policeman told him that if he paid $100
he would be free to go and get
more money to also get his
friends out.
He said they all chipped in
their money to raise the $100
and that when he was about to be
released the officer said, ~Rem ember, get the money for them
or we'll call the border patrol
in the morning."
He said he went to the "patron"
of the ranch he was working for
and borrowed the needed cash.
They explained that what they
thought was a fine, did not seem
too much to them. They compared it to the fee they had to pay
for getting smuggled into the US.
•ws better to pay $65 or $100
than the $200-300 we have to pay

But the owner of the trailer
continues both the produ.cers and
actors will learn from their mistakes.
Chico is constantly at odds with
the old man who vociferously
proclaims his dislikes for Mexicans and all other non-WASPS
a la Archie Bunker, the Chicano
comes across well and without
loss of identity.
At every turn Chico gets the
best of the situation.
Jack Albertson plays a good
and believable heavy. Chico's
jokes are centered on the old
man's humorous outlook at the
changing scene around him.
The show does not only deal
with the Anglo vs. Chicano format, but goes against all the current accepted targets of all
minorities that are currently on
the scene.
Although the program can stand
improvement, it is a breakthrough for La Raza. It helps to

Chicano stereotype?
"Chico and the Man," a new series on ABC this fall, has caused
some controversy among Chicano viewers. The setting is in a ba;rrio
in East Los Angeles, and a Puerto Rican, not a Chicano, plays

. reviews, see the show, and decide for yourself whether the Chicano

time selling their products over
there," Chavez said.
The UFWl. president said the
boycott would be at the labor unipn level, rather than at the con~ sumer level, with workers refusing to unload American
grapes.
Chavez said 14 per cent of
American-grown table grapes go
to Europe and that market is
"very important" to U.S. ·grow- ers.

--IS It
By Ricardo Rubio
Weil, it finally happened. The
television networks have finally
given · up using the old stereotypes of the Chicano - you know,
the dirty bandit, the lazy siesta
taker, the sleek-haired Latin
lover.
Now, NBC has found a new
stereotype - they must have done
some heavy research and deep
thinking. The network b r a i n s
really dug far and deep to find
this role; role that really spells
socio-economic success and portrays the Chicano in a normal,
everyday way - as a mechanic original, huh?
Except maybe to any Chicano
kid that's had to go through his
junior high days of inept counseling, where he is urged to seek
a successful career in the
grease-pits, knee deep in a Chevrolet's regurgitation.
And who would they pick to
portray this out-a-sight, fantastically hip Chicano veteran?
Why none other than an authentic
"brown" - a Hungarican (to use
his own wor~:I). Who else?
Certainly not a Chicano, they're
probably all working in a garage
somewhere.
The din of the Asian-American
had all but died down over their
displeasure of the selection of
a caucasian to play the star role
in •Kung-Fu." How did ABC explain that one? Why the· role was
of a half-breed, half Chinese
and half American. Only an anglo
can play a hall-breed?

been misquoted about his attitudes toward Mexican aliens in
this country.

made remarks about Mexicans'
propensity for violence, and how

would be more murders in Kerman.
The Bee said McDaniel was

•what's $65 as I ong as yu r
Kerman cops and racismi
In a few articles this month
the Fresno Bee has exp0sed a
situation that has been common
knowledge to Chicano residents
in Kerman for quite some time.
The stories by Bee reporter
Ron Taylor .reveal what at least
one county official has termed a
"shakedowntt of illegal aliens in
Kerman, by its 8-man police
force.
And they also reveal the racist
and prejudicial attitude the chiefl
of police has towards persons
of Mexican descent.
First the Shakedown:
Instead of calling the border
patrol when they had illegal aliens
in custody, the Kerman police
would arrest them and force them
to post a $65 bail and then let
them go free.
~ith the same intellect e-xhibited by those late-movie TV
cowboy-sheriffs, who were controlled and owned by the local
land-baron-rancher, the chief of
police explained his policy was
adopted because "farmers came
piling down on us" for interfering
with the work force.

man City Attorney, who said there
had been "letters of complaint"
by local citizens of Mexican descent. These complaints were
investigated by the chief of police.
That's like having sent Hitler
to investigate himself to see if
there would have been grounds to
press charges at Nuremberg!
But there is hope. ·
Much the same circumstances
existed at another rural community in western Fresno County.
The City of Huron had to get
an entire new police force last
summer - and a new chief. ·
It took a while before investigations were conducted and the
grip of fascism which that police
force had on the people of Huron
was made to let .go. But it was
done.
It is time for the citizenry 01
Kerman to do the same.

Indians used
for mon~tary gain
Attention all Am~rican Indian
Students If you are planning to attend
the fair this weekend, be sure to
register your disgust, displeasure, and disapproval(whichever
suits you, if all three, so much ·
the better), with the operators
of two concessions ~ealing with
American Indian themes .
Th~ first rip-off can be found
in a far corner of a large canvas
tent marked, I believe, "Commercial Exhibits." This tent is
situated near the entrance to the
midway. There you will ·come
across a collection of reproduced
photographs of numerous 'Indian
. C hieftans and various tribal representatives that gathered for an
exposition in Chicago, around
1888.
This collection, in and of itself, is worth merit. This display, interspersed with short
quotes of some of the more famous Chiefs, is interesting, and
I'm afraid, inspirationally designed.
The purpose of that design
being monetary gain.
The exhibit is set up in such a
manner, with the specially selected readings, as to impart a
deep feeling of empathy and inspiration to the viewer. The emotional buildup reaches its pitch as
the patron slowly makes his way
to the end of the large, A-framed ·
type easels to which the pictures
are posted.
Here . a non-Indian patiently
waits behind a counter that has on
display - for sale - everything
from artificial beadwork to expensive paintings depicting Indians in various settings. (You
know , the old "pre pa ring to attack
the wagon train" type scenes.)
The paraphernalia includes second rate turquqise jewelry, and
high priced reading material for
the more intellectually minded.
Some comments overheard,
while I stood on the other side of
the easels went like this:
"Their women look exactly like
th.eir men" solemnly stated one
individual, with an air of knowledgeable, wise, finality.
"The Kiowas, they are the
meanest savages of all the Indians, them and the Apaches,"
exclaimed another wide-eyed,
freckle-faced soul, with a frogcroaking larynx housed in an
Ichabod Crane neck.
After I had seen and heard
enough I discovered that some
{>eople can become mighty blind
and deaf when all they can see
and hear is dirty, wrinkled, green
dollar bills unfolding before
.them. I couldn't .break the trance
the operators were caught in. I
shrugged,· and after being pushed
aside, I looked pityingly at the
line forming to buy these trinkets.
Anyway., the machined, cheap,
meaningless beadwork was selling like hotcakes. Those people.
with their swelling hearts, couldn't pull the money out of their
pockets fast enough.
The second activity I refer to
is the one where two women .are
adorned in Indian costumes. (In
this instance the term "costume"
is quite appropriate.) They dance
around and supposedly tell of the
Indian way of life. (You ma,• have

edition of the Fresno Bee.)
Well, in this instance, according to one of the students that reported back to me, a participant
is supposed to be a Mandan Indian. In addition, this woman got
quite defensive when questioned
by the student regarding her participation in this •misrepresentati ve act.
Protesting lawyers refused license
SANTA FE, N,M. - Two young
lawyers have been refused licenses to practice law in New
Mexico because they wore protest arm bands at swearing-in
ceremonies.
Refused admission to the state
bar Wednesday were John B.
Leyba, a recent University of
New Mexico Law School graduate
working with the Albuquerque
public defender's office, and
Gordon Berman ofOregon, who is
with the Santa Fe Legal Aid program.
They indicated their black arm
bands were an expression of sympathy with demonstrators who
disrupted the swearing.:.in ceremony. The demonstrators say
the results of the July bar examinations indicate a pattern of
discrimination against minorities. Leyba _and Berman passed
the exams.
Of a dozen successful lawyer
candidat~s who originally wore
armbands to the ceremony, only
L_e yba and Berman were ejected.
Sarah Singleton of Santa Fee
declined to enter the courtroom
rather than remove her arm band.
Jeffrey Levin of Alubquerque removed his -when directed todo so.
The four had been escorted
from the House of Representatives chambers earlier in the
day on orders of Chief Justice
John McManus, who said the
ceremony was not the appropriate place for protest. The result
was :i gallery demonstration that
stoppetl the mass ceremonies.
Part of their "act" (and that is
all it is), consists of giving away
headbands and handing out Indian
names faster than people could
buy that artificial beadwork in
the other tent.
I'm surprised some sort of
package deal wasn't worked out.
whereby one could get a necklace.
a headband, a "real''Indiannaine,
all for ·paying a nominal fee to
hear the "legends" fly.
A fair is the last place for
the shoddy display and tasteless
exhibition of sacred beliefs ,
legends· and unique ways of life
that are Indian. These performances are an insult to thos.e
who treasure their Indian heritage and a disgrace to those who
honestly practice their Indian
way of life.
Attacking situations like these
are just- as important as exposing reservation conditions, land
stealing, Bureau of Ipdian Affairs bungles, and Constitutional
double-standards.
It is important because once
again, the truth is being distorted,
stereoty,pes are revived and paraded around for the sole purpose
of making money.
In short, this form of exploitation is just as detrimental to
Indians as cultural genocide issues, rights to economic, social
equality, land claims, water
rights, and any one of the numerous other conflicts which confront our people who struggle
under the label of the "Indian
Problem."
So, go , lodge your prote st and
join me by sending letters to the
Fair manager , letting him know
that we don't want to see these
people , or any others like them
around next year .
Cast your pehble into the lake
of self-determination so that we
can--c.reate a wave that will someday wash away all things like this.

Kerman police 'shake- down' illegal aliens
Kerman--Seeing a police car
directly behind him, the driver
paid extra attention to stopping
at the intersection of State Highways 145 and 180, the busiest
corner in this rural town, 15
miles west of Fresno.
But, according to the driver,
the Kerman policeman followed
him as he made a left turn and
with red lights on, pulled him
over about a mile west of the
intersection.
"He said I dido 't signal and
that I didn't stop at the sign,"
said the 26-year-old driver.
This would seem to be just
another irate citizen complaining because he got a ticket. But
this driver is not a citizen - he,
and the three other men with him,
are illegal aliens.
This particular incident brought
to the surface what one county
official called a shakedown of
lllegal aliens by the 8-man Kerman police force.
It also resulted in the Fresno
County District Attorney advising
the Kerman City Council to stop
its police from arresting illegal
aliens simply -for not being able
to show identification.
In an independent interview
with La Voz, three of the Mexicans caught that day talked about ·
their arrest and subsequent release by the Kerman Police.
Two were from the state of
J alisco and the other was from
the state of Nayarit , Mexico.
All three had just gone to a local store in downtown Kerman
after working in the almond or.chards of a nearby ranch.
All agreed that they had not
been mistreated by the officer.
"He just asked me for my license and asked them for their
papers," said the driver nodding
toward his companion;.
"He also said he had been
chasing me for·about three miles,
but I said it was less than one
mile because I was looking at
him through the mirror all the
time."
A woman who was the owner
of the house they were_in and of
the trailer they lived in, satd that
was correct because they were
stopped only a short distance
from the intersection stated on
the ticket.
The driver said that a young
man of Mexican descent, in his
early 20s was riding with the
officer and that he was the one
who spoke to them in Spanish.
When they couldn't provide
proper identificaUon they were
placed under arrest and taken to
jail.
One of the men, a tall slenper
youth from Jalisco, said that they
were ·nervous and had resigned
themselves to the fact that they
would soon be going back home.
•we were already making our-·
they were staying in _heard of
their problem and was outraged
at the way the police treated them.
She went to the justice of the
peace in Kerman and told him of
their plight.
Justice Court Judge Earl O.
,Christiansen agreed with her
and said he had refused to hear
other such cases and had given
back the money to the police
with orders for them to return it
to the aliens.
I}ut much of the money was
never returned, the judge told a
reporter'; because most of the
aliens would list a general de_li very number as their address
and this made it difficult to trace
them after they were released.
The three Mexicans showed
their respective citations and
receipts for their bail. The driver's was for $100 and the citation was for a traffic violation,
"running a red light" and not
having a valid California drivers
licence. It had expired on his
birthday, last August 20th.

Man': a funny series or
Freddie Prinze able to make people
laugh even when they don't want to
By Ernesto Moreno
Chico: (in office) If you want me
to leave - tell me to leave, if I
believe you I will leave. (leaves
to work on car)
The Man: (In office speaking to
the Lord) I see I won ' t get any
help from you. How will I do it?
(He goes into garage to speak with
Chico - jumping up and down -)
I want you to go-go-go-!!!
Chico: I don't believe you.
And so it goes. With Freddie
Prinze as the Vietnam War veteran who has returned to his home
"barrio" in Los Angeles to go to
work as a mechanic for a crusty
old man, played by Jack Albertson.
Although it seems to be a takeoff on the •Sanford and Son"
series, the change of ghetto is
refreshing.
Especially to the
Southwest audience of Chicanos.
Freddie Prinze, the actor who
portrays Chico, a well-meaning
Chicano youth, has the basic
skills needed for his. character.
He has the ability to make you
laugh at things you wouldn't necessarily laugh at. . At times, as
the show progresses, the comedy
does lag, but I feel as the show
selves comfortable to wait for
the 'migra'," he smiled, adding
that the officer then came to the
cell and told the driver that they
could be let out.
The driver, a Mexican-Indian
from Nayarit, said the policeman told him that if he paid $100
he would be free to go and get
more money to also get his
friends out.
He said they all chipped in
their money to raise the $100
and that when he was about to be
released the officer said, ~Rem ember, get the money for them
or we'll call the border patrol
in the morning."
He said he went to the "patron"
of the ranch he was working for
and borrowed the needed cash.
They explained that what they
thought was a fine, did not seem
too much to them. They compared it to the fee they had to pay
for getting smuggled into the US.

But the owner of the trailer

Chico is constantly at odds with
the old man who vociferously
proclaims his dislikes for Mexicans and all other non-WASPS
a la Archie Bunker, the Chicano
comes across well and without
loss of identity.
At every turn Chico gets the
best of the situation.
Jack Albertson plays a good
and believable heavy. Chico's
jokes are centered on the old
man's humorous outlook at the
changing scene around him.
The show does not only deal
with the Anglo vs. Chicano format, but goes against all the current accepted targets of all
minorities that are currently on
the scene.
Although the program can stand
improvement, it is a breakthrough for La Raza. It helps to

Chicano stereotype?
"Chico and the Man," a new series on ABC this fall, has caused
some controversy among Chicano viewers. The setting is in a ba;rrio
in East Los Angeles, and a Puerto Rican, not a Chicano, plays

time selling their products over
there," Chavez said.
The UFWl. president said the
boycott would be at the labor unipn level, rather than at the con~ sumer level, with workers refusing to unload American
grapes.
Chavez said 14 per cent of
American-grown table grapes go
to Europe and that market is
"very important" to U.S. ·grow- ers.

By Ricardo Rubio
Weil, it finally happened. The
television networks have finally
given · up using the old stereotypes of the Chicano - you know,
the dirty bandit, the lazy siesta
taker, the sleek-haired Latin
lover.
Now, NBC has found a new
stereotype - they must have done
some heavy research and deep
thinking. The network b r a i n s
really dug far and deep to find
this role; role that really spells
socio-economic success and portrays the Chicano in a normal,
everyday way - as a mechanic original, huh?
Except maybe to any Chicano
kid that's had to go through his
junior high days of inept counseling, where he is urged to seek
a successful career in the
grease-pits, knee deep in a Chevrolet's regurgitation.
And who would they pick to
portray this out-a-sight, fantastically hip Chicano veteran?
Why none other than an authentic
"brown" - a Hungarican (to use
his own wor~:I). Who else?
Certainly not a Chicano, they're
probably all working in a garage
somewhere.
The din of the Asian-American
had all but died down over their
displeasure of the selection of
a caucasian to play the star role

been misquoted about his attitudes toward Mexican aliens in
this country.
!n that story, McDaniel had
made remarks about Mexicans'
propensity for violence, and how

•what's $65 as I ong as yu r
Kerman cops and racismi
In a few articles this month
the Fresno Bee has exp0sed a
situation that has been common
knowledge to Chicano residents
in Kerman for quite some time.
The stories by Bee reporter
Ron Taylor .reveal what at least
one county official has termed a
"shakedowntt of illegal aliens in
Kerman, by its 8-man police
force.
And they also reveal the racist
and prejudicial attitude the chiefl
of police has towards persons
of Mexican descent.
First the Shakedown:
Instead of calling the border
patrol when they had illegal aliens
in custody, the Kerman police
would arrest them and force them
to post a $65 bail and then let
them go free.
~ith the same intellect e-xhibited by those late-movie TV
cowboy-sheriffs, who were controlled and owned by the local
land-baron-rancher, the chief of
police explained his policy was
adopted because "farmers came
piling down on us" for interfering
with the work force.

man City Attorney, who said there
had been "letters of complaint"
by local citizens of Mexican descent. These complaints were
investigated by the chief of police.
That's like having sent Hitler
to investigate himself to see if
there would have been grounds to
press charges at Nuremberg!
But there is hope. ·
Much the same circumstances
existed at another rural community in western Fresno County.
The City of Huron had to get
an entire new police force last
summer - and a new chief. ·
It took a while before investigations were conducted and the
grip of fascism which that police
force had on the people of Huron
was made to let .go. But it was
done.
It is time for the citizenry 01
Kerman to do the same.

Editor:
Once again the power structure
of this university has leveled a
devastating blow at a necessary
and vital part of our institution.
The firing of Asian Studies
instructor Rita Yee has proven
the administration's insensitivity
and lack of concern for the education of all people.
The understanding of one people by another is vital to restore

Dr. Charles Swanson, VicePresident for Academic Affairs

economic dominance by the administrators of this campus is

Indians used
for mon~tary gain
Attention all Am~rican Indian
Students If you are planning to attend
the fair this weekend, be sure to
register your disgust, displeasure, and disapproval(whichever
suits you, if all three, so much ·
the better), with the operators
of two concessions ~ealing with
American Indian themes .
Th~ first rip-off can be found
in a far corner of a large canvas
tent marked, I believe, "Commercial Exhibits." This tent is
situated near the entrance to the
midway. There you will ·come
across a collection of reproduced
photographs of numerous 'Indian
. C hieftans and various tribal representatives that gathered for an
exposition in Chicago, around
1888.
This collection, in and of itself, is worth merit. This display, interspersed with short
quotes of some of the more famous Chiefs, is interesting, and
I'm afraid, inspirationally designed.
The purpose of that design
being monetary gain.
The exhibit is set up in such a
manner, with the specially selected readings, as to impart a
deep feeling of empathy and inspiration to the viewer. The emotional buildup reaches its pitch as
the patron slowly makes his way
to the end of the large, A-framed ·
type easels to which the pictures
are posted.
Here . a non-Indian patiently
waits behind a counter that has on
display - for sale - everything
from artificial beadwork to expensive paintings depicting Indians in various settings. (You
know , the old "pre pa ring to attack
the wagon train" type scenes.)
The paraphernalia includes second rate turquqise jewelry, and
high priced reading material for
the more intellectually minded.
Some comments overheard,
while I stood on the other side of
the easels went like this:
"Their women look exactly like
th.eir men" solemnly stated one
individual, with an air of knowledgeable, wise, finality.
"The Kiowas, they are the
meanest savages of all the Indians, them and the Apaches,"
exclaimed another wide-eyed,
freckle-faced soul, with a frogcroaking larynx housed in an
Ichabod Crane neck.
After I had seen and heard
enough I discovered that some
{>eople can become mighty blind
and deaf when all they can see
and hear is dirty, wrinkled, green
dollar bills unfolding before
.them. I couldn't .break the trance
the operators were caught in. I
shrugged,· and after being pushed
aside, I looked pityingly at the
line forming to buy these trinkets.
Anyway., the machined, cheap,
meaningless beadwork was selling like hotcakes. Those people.
with their swelling hearts, couldn't pull the money out of their
pockets fast enough.
The second activity I refer to
is the one where two women .are
adorned in Indian costumes. (In
this instance the term "costume"
is quite appropriate.) They dance
around and supposedly tell of the
Indian way of life. (You ma,• have
seen their picture in the Sunday
edition of the Fresno Bee.)
Well, in this instance, according to one of the students that reported back to me, a participant
is supposed to be a Mandan Indian. In addition, this woman got
quite defensive when questioned
by the student regarding her participation in this •misrepresentati ve act.
Protesting lawyers refused license
SANTA FE, N,M. - Two young
lawyers have been refused licenses to practice law in New
Mexico because they wore protest arm bands at swearing-in
ceremonies.
Refused admission to the state
bar Wednesday were John B.
Leyba, a recent University of
New Mexico Law School graduate
working with the Albuquerque
public defender's office, and
Gordon Berman ofOregon, who is
with the Santa Fe Legal Aid program.
They indicated their black arm
bands were an expression of sympathy with demonstrators who
disrupted the swearing.:.in ceremony. The demonstrators say
the results of the July bar examinations indicate a pattern of
discrimination against minorities. Leyba _and Berman passed
the exams.
Of a dozen successful lawyer
candidat~s who originally wore
armbands to the ceremony, only
L_e yba and Berman were ejected.
Sarah Singleton of Santa Fee
declined to enter the courtroom
rather than remove her arm band.
Jeffrey Levin of Alubquerque removed his -when directed todo so.
The four had been escorted
from the House of Representatives chambers earlier in the
day on orders of Chief Justice
John McManus, who said the
ceremony was not the appropriate place for protest. The result
was :i gallery demonstration that
stoppetl the mass ceremonies.
Part of their "act" (and that is
all it is), consists of giving away
headbands and handing out Indian
names faster than people could
buy that artificial beadwork in
the other tent.
I'm surprised some sort of
package deal wasn't worked out.
whereby one could get a necklace.
a headband, a "real''Indiannaine,
all for ·paying a nominal fee to
hear the "legends" fly.
A fair is the last place for
the shoddy display and tasteless
exhibition of sacred beliefs ,
legends· and unique ways of life
that are Indian. These performances are an insult to thos.e
who treasure their Indian heritage and a disgrace to those who
honestly practice their Indian
way of life.
Attacking situations like these
are just- as important as exposing reservation conditions, land
stealing, Bureau of Ipdian Affairs bungles, and Constitutional
double-standards.
It is important because once
again, the truth is being distorted,
stereoty,pes are revived and paraded around for the sole purpose
of making money.
In short, this form of exploitation is just as detrimental to
Indians as cultural genocide issues, rights to economic, social
equality, land claims, water
rights, and any one of the numerous other conflicts which confront our people who struggle
under the label of the "Indian
Problem."
So, go , lodge your prote st and
join me by sending letters to the
Fair manager , letting him know
that we don't want to see these
people , or any others like them
around next year .
Cast your pehble into the lake
of self-determination so that we
can--c.reate a wave that will someday wash away all things like this.

A Seymour Borde & Associates Release
Kerman--Seeing a police car
directly behind him, the driver
paid extra attention to stopping
at the intersection of State Highways 145 and 180, the busiest
corner in this rural town, 15
miles west of Fresno.
But, according to the driver,
the Kerman policeman followed
him as he made a left turn and
with red lights on, pulled him
over about a mile west of the
intersection.
"He said I dido 't signal and
that I didn't stop at the sign,"
said the 26-year-old driver.
This would seem to be just
another irate citizen complaining because he got a ticket. But
this driver is not a citizen - he,
and the three other men with him,
are illegal aliens.
This particular incident brought
to the surface what one county
official called a shakedown of
lllegal aliens by the 8-man Kerman police force.
It also resulted in the Fresno
County District Attorney advising
the Kerman City Council to stop
its police from arresting illegal
aliens simply -for not being able
to show identification.
In an independent interview
with La Voz, three of the Mexicans caught that day talked about ·
their arrest and subsequent release by the Kerman Police.
Two were from the state of
J alisco and the other was from
the state of Nayarit , Mexico.
All three had just gone to a local store in downtown Kerman
after working in the almond or.chards of a nearby ranch.
All agreed that they had not
been mistreated by the officer.
"He just asked me for my license and asked them for their
papers," said the driver nodding
toward his companion;.
"He also said he had been
chasing me for·about three miles,
but I said it was less than one
mile because I was looking at
him through the mirror all the
time."
A woman who was the owner
of the house they were_in and of
the trailer they lived in, satd that
was correct because they were
stopped only a short distance
from the intersection stated on
the ticket.
The driver said that a young
man of Mexican descent, in his
early 20s was riding with the
officer and that he was the one
who spoke to them in Spanish.
When they couldn't provide
proper identificaUon they were
placed under arrest and taken to
jail.
One of the men, a tall slenper
youth from Jalisco, said that they
were ·nervous and had resigned
themselves to the fact that they
would soon be going back home.
•we were already making our-·
they were staying in _heard of
their problem and was outraged
at the way the police treated them.
She went to the justice of the
peace in Kerman and told him of
their plight.
Justice Court Judge Earl O.
,Christiansen agreed with her
and said he had refused to hear
other such cases and had given
back the money to the police
with orders for them to return it
to the aliens.
I}ut much of the money was
never returned, the judge told a
reporter'; because most of the
aliens would list a general de_li very number as their address
and this made it difficult to trace
them after they were released.
The three Mexicans showed
their respective citations and
receipts for their bail. The driver's was for $100 and the citation was for a traffic violation,
"running a red light" and not
having a valid California drivers
licence. It had expired on his
birthday, last August 20th.
The other two were cited for

•
Man': a funny series or
Freddie Prinze able to make people
laugh even when they don't want to
By Ernesto Moreno
Chico: (in office) If you want me
to leave - tell me to leave, if I
believe you I will leave. (leaves
to work on car)
The Man: (In office speaking to
the Lord) I see I won ' t get any
help from you. How will I do it?
(He goes into garage to speak with
Chico - jumping up and down -)
I want you to go-go-go-!!!
Chico: I don't believe you.
And so it goes. With Freddie
Prinze as the Vietnam War veteran who has returned to his home
"barrio" in Los Angeles to go to
work as a mechanic for a crusty
old man, played by Jack Albertson.
Although it seems to be a takeoff on the •Sanford and Son"
series, the change of ghetto is
refreshing.
Especially to the
Southwest audience of Chicanos.
Freddie Prinze, the actor who
portrays Chico, a well-meaning
Chicano youth, has the basic
skills needed for his. character.
He has the ability to make you
laugh at things you wouldn't necessarily laugh at. . At times, as
the show progresses, the comedy
does lag, but I feel as the show
selves comfortable to wait for
the 'migra'," he smiled, adding
that the officer then came to the
cell and told the driver that they
could be let out.
The driver, a Mexican-Indian
from Nayarit, said the policeman told him that if he paid $100
he would be free to go and get
more money to also get his
friends out.
He said they all chipped in
their money to raise the $100
and that when he was about to be
released the officer said, ~Rem ember, get the money for them
or we'll call the border patrol
in the morning."
He said he went to the "patron"
of the ranch he was working for
and borrowed the needed cash.
They explained that what they
thought was a fine, did not seem
too much to them. They compared it to the fee they had to pay
for getting smuggled into the US.
•ws better to pay $65 or $100
than the $200-300 we have to pay
the coyote." one said.
But the owner of the trailer
continues both the produ.cers and
actors will learn from their mistakes.
Chico is constantly at odds with
the old man who vociferously
proclaims his dislikes for Mexicans and all other non-WASPS
a la Archie Bunker, the Chicano
comes across well and without
loss of identity.
At every turn Chico gets the
best of the situation.
Jack Albertson plays a good
and believable heavy. Chico's
jokes are centered on the old
man's humorous outlook at the
changing scene around him.
The show does not only deal
with the Anglo vs. Chicano format, but goes against all the current accepted targets of all
minorities that are currently on
the scene.
Although the program can stand
improvement, it is a breakthrough for La Raza. It helps to
1
dispel some of the myths about
the bandit or sleazy type of character past Chicanos have been
relegated to.
Maybe, someday a Chicano will
able to actually play a Chicano
on TV!
Chicano stereotype?
"Chico and the Man," a new series on ABC this fall, has caused
some controversy among Chicano viewers. The setting is in a ba;rrio
in East Los Angeles, and a Puerto Rican, not a Chicano, plays
. Chico. Herewith are two views of the show, pro and con. Read the
. reviews, see the show, and decide for yourself whether the Chicano
has made a step forward, or has had the r.ug pulled out from under
him again.
are going to have a hell of a
time selling their products over
there," Chavez said.
The UFWl. president said the
boycott would be at the labor unipn level, rather than at the con~ sumer level, with workers refusing to unload American
grapes.
Chavez said 14 per cent of
American-grown table grapes go
to Europe and that market is
"very important" to U.S. ·grow- ers.
'New' stereotype
given to Chicano
· · 'h O kay '?.
--IS It
By Ricardo Rubio
Weil, it finally happened. The
television networks have finally
given · up using the old stereotypes of the Chicano - you know,
the dirty bandit, the lazy siesta
taker, the sleek-haired Latin
lover.
Now, NBC has found a new
stereotype - they must have done
some heavy research and deep
thinking. The network b r a i n s
really dug far and deep to find
this role; role that really spells
socio-economic success and portrays the Chicano in a normal,
everyday way - as a mechanic original, huh?
Except maybe to any Chicano
kid that's had to go through his
junior high days of inept counseling, where he is urged to seek
a successful career in the
grease-pits, knee deep in a Chevrolet's regurgitation.
And who would they pick to
portray this out-a-sight, fantastically hip Chicano veteran?
Why none other than an authentic
"brown" - a Hungarican (to use
his own wor~:I). Who else?
Certainly not a Chicano, they're
probably all working in a garage
somewhere.
The din of the Asian-American
had all but died down over their
displeasure of the selection of
a caucasian to play the star role
in •Kung-Fu." How did ABC explain that one? Why the· role was

· Editorial
•what's $65 as I ong as yu r
Kerman cops and racismi
In a few articles this month
the Fresno Bee has exp0sed a
situation that has been common
knowledge to Chicano residents
in Kerman for quite some time.
The stories by Bee reporter
Ron Taylor .reveal what at least
one county official has termed a
"shakedowntt of illegal aliens in
Kerman, by its 8-man police
force.
And they also reveal the racist
and prejudicial attitude the chiefl
of police has towards persons
of Mexican descent.
First the Shakedown:
Instead of calling the border
patrol when they had illegal aliens
in custody, the Kerman police
would arrest them and force them
to post a $65 bail and then let
them go free.
~ith the same intellect e-xhibited by those late-movie TV
cowboy-sheriffs, who were controlled and owned by the local
land-baron-rancher, the chief of
police explained his policy was
adopted because "farmers came
piling down on us" for interfering
with the work force.
free to work out on the ranch
ag in, boy? Jes' don't show
up around town no more, ya
hear?"
man City Attorney, who said there
had been "letters of complaint"
by local citizens of Mexican descent. These complaints were
investigated by the chief of police.
That's like having sent Hitler
to investigate himself to see if
there would have been grounds to
press charges at Nuremberg!
But there is hope. ·
Much the same circumstances
existed at another rural community in western Fresno County.
The City of Huron had to get
an entire new police force last
summer - and a new chief. ·
It took a while before investigations were conducted and the
grip of fascism which that police
force had on the people of Huron
was made to let .go. But it was
done.
It is time for the citizenry 01
Kerman to do the same.

Indians used
for mon~tary gain
Attention all Am~rican Indian
Students If you are planning to attend
the fair this weekend, be sure to
register your disgust, displeasure, and disapproval(whichever
suits you, if all three, so much ·
the better), with the operators
of two concessions ~ealing with
American Indian themes .
Th~ first rip-off can be found
in a far corner of a large canvas
tent marked, I believe, "Commercial Exhibits." This tent is
situated near the entrance to the
midway. There you will ·come
across a collection of reproduced
photographs of numerous 'Indian
. C hieftans and various tribal representatives that gathered for an
exposition in Chicago, around
1888.
This collection, in and of itself, is worth merit. This display, interspersed with short
quotes of some of the more famous Chiefs, is interesting, and
I'm afraid, inspirationally designed.
The purpose of that design
being monetary gain.
The exhibit is set up in such a
manner, with the specially selected readings, as to impart a
deep feeling of empathy and inspiration to the viewer. The emotional buildup reaches its pitch as
the patron slowly makes his way
to the end of the large, A-framed ·
type easels to which the pictures
are posted.
Here . a non-Indian patiently
waits behind a counter that has on
display - for sale - everything
from artificial beadwork to expensive paintings depicting Indians in various settings. (You
know , the old "pre pa ring to attack
the wagon train" type scenes.)
The paraphernalia includes second rate turquqise jewelry, and
high priced reading material for
the more intellectually minded.
Some comments overheard,
while I stood on the other side of
the easels went like this:
"Their women look exactly like
th.eir men" solemnly stated one
individual, with an air of knowledgeable, wise, finality.
"The Kiowas, they are the
meanest savages of all the Indians, them and the Apaches,"
exclaimed another wide-eyed,
freckle-faced soul, with a frogcroaking larynx housed in an
Ichabod Crane neck.
After I had seen and heard
enough I discovered that some
{>eople can become mighty blind
and deaf when all they can see
and hear is dirty, wrinkled, green
dollar bills unfolding before
.them. I couldn't .break the trance
the operators were caught in. I
shrugged,· and after being pushed
aside, I looked pityingly at the
line forming to buy these trinkets.
Anyway., the machined, cheap,
meaningless beadwork was selling like hotcakes. Those people.
with their swelling hearts, couldn't pull the money out of their
pockets fast enough.
The second activity I refer to
is the one where two women .are
adorned in Indian costumes. (In
this instance the term "costume"
is quite appropriate.) They dance
around and supposedly tell of the
Indian way of life. (You ma,• have
seen their picture in the Sunday
edition of the Fresno Bee.)
Well, in this instance, according to one of the students that reported back to me, a participant
is supposed to be a Mandan Indian. In addition, this woman got
quite defensive when questioned
by the student regarding her participation in this •misrepresentati ve act.
Protesting lawyers refused license
SANTA FE, N,M. - Two young
lawyers have been refused licenses to practice law in New
Mexico because they wore protest arm bands at swearing-in
ceremonies.
Refused admission to the state
bar Wednesday were John B.
Leyba, a recent University of
New Mexico Law School graduate
working with the Albuquerque
public defender's office, and
Gordon Berman ofOregon, who is
with the Santa Fe Legal Aid program.
They indicated their black arm
bands were an expression of sympathy with demonstrators who
disrupted the swearing.:.in ceremony. The demonstrators say
the results of the July bar examinations indicate a pattern of
discrimination against minorities. Leyba _and Berman passed
the exams.
Of a dozen successful lawyer
candidat~s who originally wore
armbands to the ceremony, only
L_e yba and Berman were ejected.
Sarah Singleton of Santa Fee
declined to enter the courtroom
rather than remove her arm band.
Jeffrey Levin of Alubquerque removed his -when directed todo so.
The four had been escorted
from the House of Representatives chambers earlier in the
day on orders of Chief Justice
John McManus, who said the
ceremony was not the appropriate place for protest. The result
was :i gallery demonstration that
stoppetl the mass ceremonies.
Part of their "act" (and that is
all it is), consists of giving away
headbands and handing out Indian
names faster than people could
buy that artificial beadwork in
the other tent.
I'm surprised some sort of
package deal wasn't worked out.
whereby one could get a necklace.
a headband, a "real''Indiannaine,
all for ·paying a nominal fee to
hear the "legends" fly.
A fair is the last place for
the shoddy display and tasteless
exhibition of sacred beliefs ,
legends· and unique ways of life
that are Indian. These performances are an insult to thos.e
who treasure their Indian heritage and a disgrace to those who
honestly practice their Indian
way of life.
Attacking situations like these
are just- as important as exposing reservation conditions, land
stealing, Bureau of Ipdian Affairs bungles, and Constitutional
double-standards.
It is important because once
again, the truth is being distorted,
stereoty,pes are revived and paraded around for the sole purpose
of making money.
In short, this form of exploitation is just as detrimental to
Indians as cultural genocide issues, rights to economic, social
equality, land claims, water
rights, and any one of the numerous other conflicts which confront our people who struggle
under the label of the "Indian
Problem."
So, go , lodge your prote st and
join me by sending letters to the
Fair manager , letting him know
that we don't want to see these
people , or any others like them
around next year .
Cast your pehble into the lake
of self-determination so that we
can--c.reate a wave that will someday wash away all things like this.
