~. <br /> <br />THE TRIBAL EMBLEM <br />The Tribal Emblem on the front of the program was created by Mr. Joe <br />Liles of the North Carolina School of Math and Science, Durham, North <br />Carolina. in it, the native person in the canoe is seen saluting the Red <br />Tailed hawk, which was representative of wisdom and strength for many <br />of the Indian people of this region. This reminds us that the Indian <br />people have traditionally seen themselves as only one part of the whole <br />creation, with responsibility to live in harmony with al! other living <br />creatures. The emblem is enclosed in a circle of birch limbs, native to <br />this area also, ,again representing a traditional Indian idea of the circle <br />as the perfect shape.. All of nature follows a circular cycle: the seasons, <br />the, passing of the sun, moon, and stars, even the course of man's life. <br />When the Creator spoke to Adam and told him he was dust, and to dust <br />would. return, it again reflects the idea of the circle of life. <br />The Eno Occaneechi Tribal Emblem <br />
