If anyone is traveling through the Birmingham area between September 6, 2003 and September, 2005, plan to stop by the Birmingham Museum of Art. This coming Saturday, September 6 from 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 pm they are having a Family Day Grand Opening of this exhibition. This particular event is an interactive children's exhibition.
Walk into a Creek Indian home of 1790. Sit in their public square. Play their popular ball game, "Chunky". Make Indian pottery, sing Creek songs, learn about the famous Black Drink, and try on authentic Creek clothes. Large color murals will transport you back in time to 1790. And special videos will show you how the Creek live today, in this exciting, interactive exhibition that's fun for the whole family!
This exhibition will be on view through September 2005.

| Time for the "Creek Wars" again ? |
-------------------------
"I think the Spirit, is the one thing we have to rely on. It has been handed to us as a live and precious coal. And each generation has to make that decision whether they want to blow on that coal to keep it alive or throw it away...Our language, our histories and culture are like a big ceremonial fire that's been kicked and stomped and scattered... Out in the darkness we can see those coals glowing. But our generation, whether in tribal government or wherever we find ourselves--Choctaw, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Creek, Seminole-- are coal gatherers. We bring the coals back, assemble them and breathe on them again, so we can spark a flame, around which we might warm ourselves." Gary White Deer, Chickasaw 1994 |
