CRAPO HONORS TRIBAL ELDER BEFORE SENATE=20


Horace Axtell's cultural contributions now a part of the Senate Record


=20

Washington, DC - Noted Nez Perce Tribal historian, writer, language
preservationist, storyteller and cultural expert Horace Axtell will be
honored by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo next week.  Axtell, a respected
Tribal elder, musician and drum maker, was recently awarded a national
heritage fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.  He was
among ten recipients earning the national award.

=20

Crapo recognized Axtell in a Congressional Record Statement for the NEA
fellowship, along with the many cultural contributions he has made to
preserve Tribal heritage.  Axtell has written a book of his memoirs, the
first of its kind from a Nez Perce elder in more than 50 years.  He
spent his youth learning from elders who had survived the 1877 War
resulting from President Ulysses Grant's attempts to clear the Nez Perce
homeland.  Axtell will travel to Washington, D.C., next month as part of
the NEA fellowship honors.

=20

During his visit to the area, Crapo will also tour the new VA Veterans
Outpatient facilities while in Lewiston and speak with Lewiston Chamber
of Commerce leaders. =20
