The English Department and
Inkshed Press will sponsor a poet
ry reading by Crow Indian poet
Hank Real Bird tonight, Dec. 1 at
7:30 p.m. in the University Center
Gallery.
Susan Kouyomjian, coordinator
for guest speaker presentations
for the English Department, said
she met Real Bird at a Cowboy
Poetry Gathering in Nevada in
1990. "We were totally taken by
storm with his poetry,' she said.
"(Real Bird's work) awakens peo
ple to certain ideas, notions and
ways of life, and encourages peo
ple to be who they are."
Real Bird, who was born on the
Crow Indian Reservation in
southeastern Montana, was raised
by his grandparents in the tradi
tional Crow Indian way of life.
"The only security that I ever
felt was wnen I was chopping
wood or hauling water for my
grandpa," he said. "It was beauti
ful. I was blessed to be able to live
that life."
The Crow Indian language is
his primary language; in fact. Real
Bird said he did not learn English
until the first grade.
In addition to his Native Ameri
can culture. Real Bird is also a
cowboy. He participated in the
Montana High School Rodeo As
sociation for four years, and was a
cowboy on Padlock's branding
wagon by the time he was 15.
'HThe rodeo was the only job I
ever had when I was growing
up," he said. "All I ever wanted
to be was a cowboy."
Real Bird said one reason the
Indian and the cowboy are similar
is because nature is very impor
tant to both cultures.
Kouyomjian said Real Bird is a
bridge between the cowboy and
Indian cultures.
"He is a cowboy Indian," she

d gre
school in 1964 and decided ne
wanted to be a teacher. He at
tended college at Western Mon
tana College where he was a
member of tne school rodeo team
his freshman and sophomore
ears. Real Bird then went to
ontana State University to finish
school and continue with the
rodeo.
After receiving his bachelor's
degree in elementary education
from MSU in 1971, Real Bird re
turned to the reservation to teach
a fourth grade class at the Crow
Agency School.
Real Bird went back to school to
obtain his master's degree from
Eastern Montana College,

Annual Christmas decoration festival
lights up College Station’s Central Park
By JENNY MAGEE
Reviewer of THE BATTALION
College Station's Central Park
will be lighting the path to
Christmas with the ninth annual
Christmas in the Park Lighting
Celebration which will take place
on Tuesday, Dec.l at 6:30 p.m.
More than 45,000 lights will be
strung across the trees and
through the water in the 47-acre
park. The display will be lit at the
end of a live performance of
Christmas music.
The celebration will include
horse-drawn and tractor-drawn
hayrides, a bonfire and a live na
tivity scene with the Bryan Fu
ture Farmers of America.
Program supervisor Sheila
Walker said, "We've had an awe
some turnout in the past; we usu
ally get 1,000-plus people."
Walker said the park has en
hanced some of the old displays
for the 1992 ceremony and added
several new attractions. She said
the park likes to keep the new
displays a secret, but that a spe
cial attraction will be the lights in
the water.
The display will be lit every
evening from Dec. 1 through Dec.
31 between 6 and 11 p.m., and the
Parks and Recreation Department
will host an open house every
Friday and Saturday featuring
hayrides, choirs and photo op
portunities with Santa Claus.
Walker said "quite a few" col
lege students attend the celebra
tion.
"It is something a little more
exciting than an average Tuesday
night," she said. "A lot of people
even end up getting engaged; it is
a pretty romantic event for Col
lege Station."
Christmas in the Park began in
1984, financed by the Jack Lester
family through 1987. It is now
sponsored by Waltman and Asso
ciates, attorneys at law.
The park is located at 1000
Krenek Tap road.
Local gallery shows Texas art of all type
By MARSHALL LOVE
Feature Writer of THE BATTALION
Local Color Art Gallery at 310 University Drive East breathes life into
Bryan/College Station's art community.
Kass Prince, executive director of the Brazos Valley Arts Council ,
said Local Color was created as a program of the arts council in August
1989 in an effort to displayTexas art.
"Our mission is restricted to Texas artists," she said. "But we don't
restrict the medium of the art."
Store curator Letitia Alston said the gallery has shown oil and watercol-
or painting, bronze and wood sculpture, pottery, jewelry, and paper art.
A We show about eight exhibits a year that range from very represen
tational art, like the western exhibit we just completed, to abstract," Al
ston said. "This coming year we will exhibit a glass show, which we've
never had, and we'll also host a ceramics show. Local Color is where
you'll see new artists in the Brazos Valley for the first time."
Prince said the gallery offers something unique to Texas artists.
■'s visi
e get quite a bit of traffic from the gift shop, and then, for tL
;d in purchasing our exhibited art, we have the staff avaitf
ile
"First and foremost, artists want a legitimate place to show
work," she said. "But we also give the artist an opportunity to sell
work."
Prince said the on-site gift shop, which sells inexpensive al
to the more expensive exhibited ari, draws many of the gallery
"We
teres te
facilitate safes, unlike at A&M showings," she said. "Out thereyo>
experience diverse art, but no staffers are usually available to atf
sell the work."
Prince said that the presence of a university in town help'
gallery.
"We have quite a lot of students visit here, and a lot of ourfU 1
Valley Arts Council) board members are on faculty and staff at th
versify," she said. "Even though A&M has no college of art, it pro*
a lot of cultural amity."
In addition to its routine exhibits, the gallery hosts art den#
tions on Saturdays
Jack, you’re a great sport. Kim and I are looking forward
to our Colorado ski vacation at Purgatory-Durango. The
