INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES’

The Native American Student Association (NASA) celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day at 11 a.m. on Oct. 8 at at the Cameron University campus. This was the first Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebration for both CU and the City of Lawton. In January 2018, the city of Lawton unanimously voted to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day simultaneously with Columbus Day. Indigenous Peoples’ Day is observed by states such as South Dakota and Alaska, along with a multitude of cities. Anadarko, Norman, Tulsa, Tahlequah, Lawton, Okmulgee and Oklahoma City, along with the University of Central Oklahoma have adopted the holiday. For the Native American Student Association and secretary Rikki Thompson, celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day at CU is important, so they have an opportunity to showcase their culture to their peers. “Most people forget about Native Americans,” Thompson said. “But we’re still here, and we still celebrate our culture.”
The Native American Student Association began their celebration by selling Navajo style Indian Tacos. In the McCasland Ballroom, vendors participated in the event as well, selling jewelry, beadwork and artwork. NASA also held a silent auction throughout the event. Items up for auction included beaded earrings, a Pendleton blanket and a signed Tim Saupitty painting. The Wichita R.I.S.E. Program passed out information about their mission in “Raising Interest in Suicide Education.” The Comanche Prevention and Recovery program talked to participants about their mission to support Native Americans of all ages in living a life free of dependence on any addictive behavior.

and awareness of difficult topics. “Sometimes I find it challenging being Native American,” Towne said. “Our culture is severely underrepresented.” At 2 p.m., NASA presented a cultural celebration consisting of traditional dancers, musicians and artists. Dancers from surrounding tribes, including the Comanche and Kiowa Nation, entered the McCasland Ballroom in a grand entry, wearing their dance regalia. After a prayer and words from President McArthur and President of the Native American Student Association, Sydney Prince, the dancers performed. Sydney Prince is an enrolled member of the Wichita
affiliated tribes and believes in informing Cameron students and the surrounding public about the importance of Native American culture. “Oklahoma was the original Indian Territory,” Prince said. “We want people to know the sacrifices our descendants made and how we continue our culture today.” Dances preformed were the hoop dance, jingle dance, buffalo dance and fancy dancing. The Native American Student Association raised about 600 dollars for their combined silent auction and Indian taco sell. Sponsors for the event included Kiowa Nation Higher Education, Wichita Nation Higher Education Program, Tia-Piah Society of Oklahoma, North American Credit Services, Wichita R.I.S.E. Program and Buck’s Pawn Shop. For more information on the Indigenous Peoples’ Celebration or how to join The Native American Student Association, contact Sydney Prince at Sydney.prince@cameron.edu.

last year of high school. “It’s kind of funny how it all came about,” Milner said. “I went through junior high and high school, and it wasn’t on my mind.” It wasn’t until Milner met a cheerleader from Duncan high school that he became enamored with the sport. “I went to her practice and saw her and thought, ‘Man, you know? I could do that,’” Milner said. Intrigued mainly with the tumbling side of cheer, Milner began taking classes in Lawton. He soon realized that he had a natural talent for it. After only seven months of classes, the gym he was attending offered him a position as an instructor. Still, Milner didn’t see his hobby as a viable career option. “I grew up in a family where what you did was work,” Milner said. “I just picked up jobs because they made money and because I could do it.” Milner came from a family where work was a matter of obligation, not enjoyment. “Heck, since I turned sixteen I had my first job working at Burger King,” Milner said. “I was told that you get a job for money to live. I started that, and I hated it.” After graduating from high school, Milner decided to follow in his mother’s footsteps and learn a trade. He began working in heat and air along with juggling other jobs on the side. Though Milner never thought he’d attend college, his fiancé encouraged him to apply to Cameron. “Her family’s idea of was to have a good life style you have to have a good education behind
However, he knew couldn’t let go of his position as a gymnastics and tumbling instructor. As Milner got further into his schooling, his mindset about work began to change. “In the beginning it was the mindset that if I had a college degree I could get more money.” Milner said, “For what job I didn’t know. I had no idea.” He jumped from degree to degree, trying business and accounting and even music. Nothing seemed to stick untill Milner found Sports and Exercise Science. “I found my way into Sports and Exercise Science,” Milner said. “I don’t even know how I ended up there.” Though Milner entered the degree program almost by accident, it soon became clear to him that he was in the right place. He noticed how his coaching classes complemented the gymnastics and tumbling classes he was teaching. Only then did Milner begin to see his hobby as a potential career. “My long term goal by then was to maybe be part of a professional team and being an instructor and a coach,” Milner said. “That’s what
I saw myself doing.” Once Milner heard about the job opening for spirit coach, he knew he had to apply. Now, Milner’s hobby has become his nine to five. His favorite part so far has been his team. “They’re very energetic and they’re very adamant about being a part of and dance,” Milner said. “I enjoy watching them do what they do best.” For Milner, goals this year include encouraging team spirit, both among his players and for other Cameron teams, keeping his team on track in sports and in academics, and improving routines. “Hopefully, by the end of this year, maybe looking at competition,” Milner said, “and building routines and stunts for competition with next year’s team.” For now, though, Milner plans to stay focused on encouraging the spirit team to maintain their energy on the court. “Players are playing better and your team may win or lose based on what the spirit team brings,” Milner said. “That’s why having them as lively as they are is such an important factor.” After all, Photos by Ellie Welborn encouraginng Graphic by Katie Livingston team spirit is what the aggie spirit team is all about.

Review: ‘The Dragon Prince’ Lea Killian Staff Writer
In the land of Xadia, a world torn in two by a timeless war, an imminent revenge looms over its people. Many centuries ago, with the aid of dark magic, humans killed the King of the Dragons and destroyed his only egg, the Dragon Prince. Now, elves seek a punishment to fit the ancient crime. An elite team of eleven assassins is sent to the castle to take the lives of King Harrow and his son, Prince Ezran. Wanting to make up for the mistakes of her past, Rayla, a Moonshadow Elf, consistently burdened by right and wrong, sneaks into the castle before her team in order to carry out the mission alone. Mistakenly believing Ezran’s older brother Callum is her true target, she chases him through the beaten paths of the corridors and into a hidden, surreptitious room beneath the
stronghold. What they find there intertwines the destinies of Rayla, Callum and Ezren in unimaginable ways that will forever shape the future of Xadia. From the head writer of Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” Aaron Ehasz, showrunners Justin Richmond and Giancarlo Volpe, bring The Dragon Prince to life in enchanted, powerful ways. Speaking on the relevancy of the show in an interview with Hypable, Ehasz said, “We do believe that there’s an opportunity, especially for young people, to look at their world, to look at what they’re being told, and make decisions that come up with a brighter future. It was something that we were really interested in, and thought would be an awesome part of an epic story, but that also would mean something and be relevant to real people in the world today.” From my perspective, “The Dragon Prince” hit every mark. Before delving into the story, I was
skeptical of the animation. I hoped, hearing that a writer from “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was on the team, that it would look more like the classic animation I was used to. While that seemed to be a complaint from a large portion of the audience, my worries faded substantially within the first two episodes. For me, the beauty of the scenery and character/creature design far outweighed any complaints I had about the animation. Still, Ehasz, Richmond and Volpe said they noted the remarks, and intend to improve in the second season, given the chance by Netflix, of course. What really makes “The Dragon Prince” special and worth your weekend binge-session is the representation of the show’s primary characters. While many of us are used to a whitewashed cast, yes, even in animation, The Dragon Prince offers no such thing. Much like “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” this show will leave you
awestruck at the level of inclusiveness in their story-telling ability. Not stopping at breaking the racial barrier, “The Dragon Prince” team even includes the use of American Sign Language, mostly obscure in any animation seen on television. In an interview with Vice, Ehasz said, “One of our main goals was to make something that Avatar fans would love… We want this to be a real epic fantasy story, for true genre fans. Teens, adults, we want it to be a real experience for them. But we also want it—like Avatar—to have that feeling of it being accessible and appropriate for families and wider audiences as well.” Being a huge fan of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” since the beginning, I can whole heartedly say that they succeeded. However, it is important to note that, given the chance, everyone else will love it, too. Easily, I give “The Dragon Prince” a 10/10.

Briggs had a confident stage presence and held a constant energy. She had a tendency to jump and jog around the stage when she sang, which led me to expect some type of burnout. Nope. She continued each song with the same energy. She would stare into her audience’s eyes and jog in place while maintaining the intensity of the music and lyrics. It was captivating. She appeared so comfortable and passionate about what she was performing. Most artists I have watched live wear extravagant outfits and sparkly red high heels, but Briggs wore joggers, an oversized
Stussy t-shirt and Vans. Her focus was not on her appearance but on the performance and the music that she was presenting. Her lyrics were raw and intensified and her choice of clothing reflected that. After she finished her closing song, she waved, smiled and jogged off stage. I feel as though Briggs really appreciates her fan base considering that she took the time to like both of my Instagram posts from the concert that I tagged her in. Most artists do not do those types of things. I was left wanting even more.
