The recently won religious freedom of Native American prisoners in Iowa was due largely to the efforts of the American Indian/Chicano Cultural Center with the assistance of the Native American Rights Fund of Denver, Colorado. The American Indian/Chicano Cultural Center (AI/CCC) is an organization of Indian And Chicano prisoners at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison, Iowa. Also included in the membership are other interested persons from communities outside of the Fort who support the goals of the AI/CCC. The primary goal of the AI/CCC is to preserve their common yet separate and unique cultural identities despite the confining forces of society-at-large and especially of the walls that surround them. The April 4th meeting of the AI/CCC was conducted by Don Holman from the Native American Rights Fund. He held a pipe ceremony for everyone that attended; this ceremony will begin all future meetings of the AI/CCC. Meetings are held the first Saturday of every month and are open to all those interested. Write to the AI/CCC, Box 316, Fort Madison, Iowa, 52627, for a clearance application if you would like to attend, or for issues of the AI/CCC's newsletter, "Four Winds Newsletter". [in a box] Iowa ranks 16th in the imprisonment of Hispanics and number one in the imprisonment of American Indians. According tot he Des Moines Register, on August 22, 1980, Judge Luther Glanton said that minorities tend to receive the maximum punishment allowed by law while the white majority gets away with a "kick in the pants." (Printed below is the AI/CCC theme song for the peoples blood movement, inspired by Blood Brother Alika Kakikina, and words by Blood Brother John D. Wakeman) [emblem] When we walk through the storm We'll hold our heads up high And we won't, be afraid, of the dark For at the end of the storm There's a Victory Cry And our Battle Cry, Will fill the air Fight on, through the dark Fight on, through the storm Though your Brothers fall at your side Fight on, Fight on, Courage will turn the Tide And we'll never walk alone We'll never walk alone...
