A measure to empower the Texas Indian Commission to apply federal money to the needs of the Kickapoo passed the state Senate in early May, under the sponsorship of Sen. Ron Clower \(Dproval in subcommittee; final passage is expected before the legislative session ends \(and as the Observer `White man’s god’ Jim Brown, city manager for Eagle Pass and a partisan of the Kickapoo, Chief George Whitewater foresees more tranquil times for the tribe once federal funds are tapped. “The Kickapoo haven’t gotten state funds of any kind and won’t even if the Clower-McBee bill is passed. But the state would be able to get them federal money, with which we hope to buy them land and eventually set up health services of some kind. People in Eagle Pass have tried to ignore the Kickapoo, but the present situation is a mark against the whole community,” Brown says. “Our religion tells us that God put the earth here for all human beings. The earth is not the property of anyone, not in God’s eyes. But the white man says he owns the earth, and now he wants to be our landlord,” Whitewater declares. “The Kickapoo believe in God. But the white man’s god is money, and that’s why we are careful about adopting the ways of white men. If we become what you are, then we are lost.” Dick Reavis is a freelance writer and a graduate student in philosophy at UTAustin. IN DALLAS: 4528 McKINNEY AVE.
