Show For Children- - Ta Tanka Sha Continued from page 2 Mrs. Wallentine is one of three people in Utah doing porcupine quill work, an art which dates back to the early 1600s. She made quill work designs which were applied to a white buckskin dress presented to the Queen of England by the docents at Fort Sutter in Sacramento, Calif. It seems that the Royal Lady is an enthusiast of native American artifacts. This summer the Wallentines will go to numerous local and national encamp- - Hobbyist organization which joins mountain man groups, together they exist as the early Indians did. Everybody has some primitive occupation. I make bows, Lyn does quill work. One person makes tepees, another is the blacksmith and makes knife blades and metal arrow heads. They trade services or exchange them for furs and other items. a tepee is furnished with all authentic gear, it becomes a lodge. The Wallentines have researched countless books and museums and have followed guidelines to make theirs an authentic early 1850 Sioux lodge. Their things are packed for traveling in colorful rawhide boxes laced with tanned buckskin. These carry their dance gear, unique wall adornments such as a door knocker made of buffalo toes, a buffalo bladder treated for holding quills, or a knife with a handle made from the jaws of a bear. ments. They spend their evenings making more things for their lodge. Almost every thing they use is homemade. To buy a pair of beaded buckskin gloves might cost $200 and Doug can make them for about $9. Lyn will make quill designs to trade for a lovely fox fur. Most rewarding part of their Indian involvement, say the couple, is the fact that it can be enjoyed together as a family. When Ta Tanka Sha To Recreate Indian Village Saturday WEST V ALLEY. A portion of Granger park will be transformed into an Indian village here Saturday during the WestFest celebration. Several tepees will circle around craftsmen who will exhibit and trade their wares.

Prior to his marriage. Wallentine spent a great deal of time on reservations in North and South Dakota. He was reared in Des Moines, Iowa, so it wasnt too far away. He stayed in homes of Indina friends. They invited him to play with their drum groups and sing with them.

Davis, keeper of the shield, w'ill show his expertise as a blacksmith and tanner of hides. Rosenlund is keeper of the drum and makes dance costumes ornamented with bead work.

The games will be held from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to day. Numerous hobbyists will be working on their Indian crafts and will be trading items like beads and furs. After WestFest is over, the Indian enthusiasts with their families will participate in other local and national encampments almost every weekend during the summer. As in past years, theyll often join mountain man groups, camp in their tepees and simulate the lifestyle of early tribesmen. They use only primitive hunting and cooking methods. Their last big powwow will be on Labor Day at Fort Bridger, Wyo where there will be about 200 tepees reflecting life 200 years ago. Wallentine says there are four rules for being a member of the organization: be a person of good heart; be a craftsperson able to create something related to mountain men or Indians; be willing to share time and talents with other people; try to live the old ways as often as possible. 3p.m. Clark said the games will be cooperative Everybody will win and nobody will be a loser, she said.
