Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Diane Comer News from the Kentucky Heritage Commission FRANKFORT, KY - November has been proclaimed American Indian Heritage Month in Kentucky by Gov. Steve Beshear, with several events planned across the Commonwealth. This is the 10th anniversary of the annual designation. The Kentucky Native American Heritage Commission kicked off the month with a meeting Monday, November 3, 2014, at Paul Sawyier Public Library in Frankfort. The commission was established under the auspices of the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office (KHC), to recognize and promote Native American contributions and influence in Kentucky history and culture. The body is made up of 17 members, eight of whom are required to be of Native American heritage, and includes representatives from institutions of higher learning, archaeology, Native American arts and the public. According to Helen Danser of Tyner, commission chair, many misperceptions and stereotypes exist about Native American Indian cultures. "We hope the work we do is helping to clarify some of these, and continuing to add to our understanding of Native American contributions to our society," she said. "For example, one common misperception is that all native people shared a similar way of life, when in reality, customs and language could differ greatly among tribes - just as they did, for example, in European cultures. Hundreds of years ago, just as today, there is a great deal of cultural diversity among American Indian tribes in terms of music, art, religious practice and traditions." The most prominent event will be a reception and exhibit featuring award-winning Cherokee artist Donald Vann, from 4pm-6pmET, Friday, November 7, at First Southern Arts Center, 213 Depot Street, Stanford, KY free and open to the public. Vann will discuss his work and heritage, and his paintings will be exhibited at the gallery through the weekend, from 9amET to 5pmET. Saturday and 1pm to 4pmET. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Entertainment for the reception will be provided by Navajo flutist Fred Nez-Keams. Vann is largely known for his portrayal of the Trail of Tears, and has been proclaimed "one of the best-known Indian artists of the 20th century" by the Cherokee National Historical Society. He has also been recognized as "Artist of the 20th Century" and "National Treasure" by the Cherokee Nation. Other activities will include a public display focusing on Kentucky Native American history at the State Capitol, and presentations throughout the month by Tressa Brown, KHC commission coordinator. These include information sharing at the 2014 East and Midwest Multi-Regional Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Training, Tuesday through Thursday at the Brown Hotel in Louisville; three presentations at Burgin Elementary School, Nov. 10; a Native American Heritage Observance Presentation on Pow Wows to the Corps of Engineers in Louisville, Nov. 12; and a Native American Heritage Observance Presentation on Myths and Stereotypes for a school group, Nov. 25 at the Patton Museum in Fort Knox. Kentucky Native American Heritage Month was established by the Legislature in 1998 to recognize the contributions of Native Americans to Kentucky history and culture. According to the gubernatorial proclamation, "American Indians have lived in Kentucky for more than 12,000 years and have made significant contributions to Kentucky's rich cultural heritage... We recognize the past, present, and future contributions that American Indians have made and continue to make to enhance the quality of life of all Kentuckians."
