[emblem] THE IOWA PRISON CONNECTION (Editor's Note: The following are excerpts from The Iowa Prison Connection, a newsletter of the American Indian-Chicano Cultural Center at the Iowa State Penitentiary at Fort Madison. The ark work is by Joe Wabashaw.) Brothers and Sisters: With warm encouragement to all of you. It's people like you who have brought strength and courage to our struggles, who have paid close attention to even the smallest details, and quietly but effectively developed perspectives for the problems we face. Each and everyone of you have participated in a key role in the building of our Cultural Center for what it is today. It was all of these qualities and this great personal strength which we have all poured into the Center's development in seeking a foothold in the struggles of our class as it began to reawaken. Together we have covered a long distance in a very short while, and I sincerely hope that your continued interest and support in the cause of our Indian-Chicano Cultural Center will complete a new phase in your life. Yours in brotherhood, LESLIE R. FIELDS Project Developer AN ARTIST'S VISION Some painters find, and experience during their years of painting, that there are many phases of life which some people have never seen or are even aware of which exist among many artists. Some are sorrowful dreams, some are joyful, and some are the lonely filled hours in one's life. A painter's life is lived in a dream, a dream to make the world of people and torn-up land always beautiful in his own mind - to hide the ugliness that is seen from day to day. There are many faces and dreams in a painting which go unseen and many impressions and expressions related to the personality and character of the artist....yet non-the-less that is the expression of one man's soul in the world of many. Joe Wabashaw National AIM Coordinator In memory of our brother: "There's a sad neglect of all the different tribla cultures. Ten years from now there may not be anybody out on the reservation to retain our culture and to be able to relate it. So this is actually a move, not so much to liberate the island, but to liberate ourselves for the sake of cultural survival.... 11
