December Food Drive an Overwhelming Success
Cankú Lúta educates at PSEA Annual Human & Civil Rights Dinner
Thanks to our many donors, and especially the
Pennsylvania State Education Association, Cankú Lúta was able to deliver over 30 tons of
food and other necessities and several thousand dollars for heating fuel and home and car
repairs to grassroots people in the communities of Oglala, Green Grass, Red Scaffold, and
Bull Head. PSEA members also contributed funds for the purchase of two computers for
grassroots initiatives. The PSEA sponsored food drive culminated a four month effort by
Bob Whitehead and the PSEA Minority Affairs Committee to draw attention to the offensive
use of Indian mascots and logos by sports teams and schools. In addition, PSEA spearheaded
an effort to educate teachers about fallacies in history books regarding American Indian
nations and about current conditions in reservation communities. Cankú
Lúta set up a booth with other education exhibitors at the Pittsburgh Hilton and
Chairperson Ken Cane was the keynote speaker at the PSEA Annual Human & Civil Rights
Award Dinner on December 10, 1998.
