BILL HISTORY
Since the early 70's the Oyate Indian Club at the University of Colorado-Boulder
has traditionally staged an annual "Indian Awareness Week". This event has come
to represent an annual focal point of Native American community pride and
cultural activity in the Boulder area. There have been a number of variations and
levels of activity associated with the Native American Awareness Week over the
years. The last Indian Week was held in April, 1988 and consisted of a day of
prominent Indian speakers and a Sunday Pow-wow.

This year, the Oyate Indian Club will be sponsoring its Native American Awareness
Week on March 20-23. The Week will end its campus-held activities on Thursday,
March 23 because Spring Break starts Friday, March 24 and people will be leaving
Boulder for a week's vacation.
The purpose of Native American Awareness Week is not only to provide students
with a unique cultural experience, but also to provide an opportunity for the
expansion and improvement of relations within the culturally and ethnically diverse
student population and members of the community of Boulder. The driving force
behind this week is the need to expand student and community awareness of
American Indian culture and situation. We feel that participation in this event
promotes respect and understanding of cultural and lifestyle differences.
Our main emphasis this year is the theme of education. Entertainment will be
featured. Speaking and entertainment presentations have been scheduled between
6-10 pm so as to not interfer with most classes and jobs. (Our agenda with the list
of topics and speakers is attached)
