About 140 Indian golfers from across the country are expected to arrive here early in the week to enjoy two days of practice rounds prior to the official competition. Invitations and announcements have gone out to reservations and tribes across the United States. Contestants will be required to tour the nine-hol- e par 70 Monticello layout twice to get in their regular 18 holes of play curb riv. And aside from the tourney itself, family events have been scheduled1 including a steak dinner, powwow and arts and crafts displays in Monticello Municipal Park. There will be a campsite for families in the nearby U.S. Forest Service campgrounds. Thomas Atchitty (Navajo), president of Navajo Community College at Tsaile, Project Director Named for Indian Bicentennial Ariz., has been named chairman of the sports event, and Grant Leavitt, Professional Golfers, Association (PGA) member, is host to the tourney. Other committee members include Tom Bryant, a science teacher at the BIA school at Shiprock, N.M., and Frank Atchitty, an administrator from Farmington, N.M. Atcitty said Rod Curl, a Wintu from California who has won more than $100,000 in prize money on the professional circuit this year, has received a special invitation to participate in the playoffs. And we think hes going to join us at Monticello, said Atchitty. Curls success on the tour has been an inspiration to young Indians all over the country. Leavitt, a native of Monticello, has events staged several regional in the past in Albuquerque, Tulsa, Dallas and other metropolitan areas, and was active in bringing the Indian golf tourney to his home town. Entry fee for amateurs is $14. Pros will pay $25. Among notes Indian amateurs who will be playing are Duane LeBeau (Sioux) from South Dakota, Glen Avery (Navajo), Shiprock, N.M., Curtis Toledo Sr. (Navajo) and his son from Durango, Colo., Floyd and Darwin James (Apache), Prescott, Ariz., Cecil Gardipe (Pawnee), Fort Worth, Tex., and David Black (Quinault), Hoquiam, Wash. Said Atchitty of the upcoming tournament and the sport of golf among all-Indi- Indians: Wayne Chattin (Blackfeet) has been named to the staff position of Director of Native American s Projects for the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration (ARBA), and as such is the only American Indian on the inside in the planning for America's bicentennial celebration in 1976. Chattin's mandate is to enhance .the participation of American Indians in planning part of the celebration, Jthd to assist tribes in planning, in seeking funds and other ' resources to underscore that role. His new address: Wayne Chattin, Director, Native American Projects, American Revolution Bicentennial Administration, 1515 Cleveland Place, Denver, Colo. 80202. Telephone: (303) 837-487- 6. Through the years only a few Indians have had the opportunity to play this great game and to develop their skills to the point where they could compete with white athletes. But golf is finally coming into its own in many Indian tribes and we think a lot of people will be surprised to see the talented players and potentially good golfers who have taken up the game and want to test their drills in national competition. . . . The game has finally caught on, (and) opportunity is opening up. We like the game and want to improve. In a few years, we hope there will be more Rod Curls and in the ranks of the top amateurs and professionals, and a lot more handicap golfers and weekenders out on tile countrys courses just doing well and enjoying the game. ar Justice Office Names Indian Rights Director The appointment of R. Dennis Ickes as Director of the Office of Indian Rights was announced today by Assistant Attorney General J. Stanley Pottinger, head of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. The Office of Indian Rights was created August 13, 1973, within the CivQ Rights Division to enforce federal civil rights laws that affect Indian citizens. Mr. Ickes replaces Carlton R. Stoiber, who has resigned to work toward a master of laws degree at University College in London, England. Mr. Ickes, 30, who has been Deputy Director of the Office since its establishment, received a bachelors degree in government from Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah, in 1966. He also did graduate work there in public administration. In 1970, he received his law degree from the University of Utah. Mr. Ickes received a special letter ot commendation from the Attorney General for his work in representing the Justice Department during the Wounded Knee incident in South Dakota in 1973. He was responsible for the first Justice Department suit filed to protect the voting rights of American Indians. Mr. Pottinger said in its first year, the Office of Indian Rights has been involved in suits in the areas of voting discrimination, access to public facilities, Indian rights to employment preference at the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the defense of religious and cultural rights.

Tradumaifcs A trademark, according to the Board, is any work, symbol or device or any combination of these which is used by a producer or merchant to identify his goods and distinguish them from those goods produced or sold by others. The benefit of a trademark is that it helps the public associate the source of gooids and can help in advertisement. A trademark does not have to be registered. But by registering a trademark to the Board, for example, an . Indian, Eskimo or Aleut can receive greater protection. Trademarks can be registered both by an individual or by a group. There are two lists of registered trademarks. The Principal Register is the important of the two, but in some cases a Supplemental Register is sufficient. Use of the trademark means that it must be placed on products, their containers, labels or tags which will be sold or transported in interstate commerce. to a list compiled by Arts and Crafts Board, there are about 64 designer-craftsm- en and merchants who are listed in the directory of Indian arts sources. This list is updated and revised regularly, and those who are not listed in this directory can be listed by contacting the Board. One direct benefit of inclusion in this directory is that me can get his or her groups work promoted and publicized through this directory, which is issued and mailed to hundreds of interested persons across the nation. The current source directory lists most of the enterprises which deal in Native American handicrafts, along with Native American-owne- d outlets. If craftsmen wish to know about outlets which sell American Indian handicrafts, he can look through the also published by the Board. The Fact Sheet, subtitled Poential Outlets for Native American Artists and Craftsmen, is me of two such useful tools. The other Fact Sheet," subtitled Trademarks and Certification, lists all the current information on obtaining a trademark and certification. According . Crafts Beard the-India- Fact-Shee- If a craftsman needs help, then all he has to do is contact the Indian Arts and Crafts Board. That seems a simple statement. The problem is actually getting in touch with the Board-i- f, indeed, the craftsman is aware of the existence and purposes, as well as the responsibilites, of the Board. If the craftsman needs protection or information, the Board can provide it or refer him to the appropriate federal agency. (Next month: What Can the Craftsman Do?) t |
