We each filled two five-gallon buckets with the sticky clay and
hauled it back to her studio. We would process it during the
next class.
Processing the clay was dirty work. Osti had filled the buckets
with water and made a sloppy mess of the clay mixture. We took
turns using a drill to mix the water into our clay until it had
We placed our molded clay inside the bowl to ensure it retained
its shape while it dried and firmed up. It would be ready to add
coils to in a day or two.
In the meantime, we went back to our first pots to refine and
decorate them. Designs are best applied when the pot is firm
enough to hold. At this stage, the pots had the dull shine and
feel of old saddle leather. We chose traditional designs from
the numerous examples Jane had to show us. We then used
various tools to etch the patterns into the clay. The last step was
creating a shiny finish using a polished stone to smooth away
the thin dull outer film of dried clay. After rubbing and shining,
our creations were nearly ready to fire. They just had to finish
drying.
“Moisture in the clay will cause your pot to break while it’s in
the fire. It needs to be completely dried out before we put it in,”
Osti told us.
I broke mine before it made it into the fire. So much for being
a natural. Note to others: Don’t pick up your pot by pinching
the rim with your thumb on the inside and forefinger outside

a yogurt-like thickness. The next step was pouring the liquid
through a mesh sieve to strain out the bits of gravel. Finally, the
clay was ready to pour into shallow bins to dry and thicken.
Once firmed to a workable consistency, the clay had to be
“wedged” - formed into a block and kneaded.
“You’re not baking bread, Lisa. You need to be working the
air bubbles out, not putting them in,” Osti corrected me.
This required pushing into the clay with the heel of one hand
while twisting the protruding clay lump around with the other
hand and repeating until the clay had a uniform consistency. It
reminded me vaguely of the motions a taffy-pulling machine
makes.
After we had our native clay ready to work with, Osti showed
us another technique for creating the base of a pot. We rolled
our clay into a ball before flattening it and rolling it out with a
rolling pin.
“Roll it out almost like you’re making a pie crust,” Osti said.
I believe I sighed. I’d never made a pie crust. I hadn’t ever
made bread either, but I seemed to have the knack for that – if
you judged by the way I kneaded clay. Maybe this was a skill I’d
be a natural at?
We shaped our round platters of clay around the outside of
overturned mixing bowls, gently patting the clay, coaxing it
into conforming to the contours of the bowl. This piece would
be the base for a larger pot or bowl than we made the first time.

Cherokee Opera Singer Joins
Ranks of Oklahoma’s Music Elite
KAREN SHADE
Cherokee | Diné
You’ll never see her slouch. Even at ease,
Barbara McAlister sits erect, correct and
as if she aced posture in finishing school.
A dramatic mezzo-soprano spends a
lifetime learning to master her craft,
and that includes lessons on carriage to
support the diaphragm muscle.
“Learning to sing properly is not easy,
and anyone who graduates from college
and thinks they can sing, give them a
few more years,” says McAlister. “… You
have to build up the muscle power. You
have to build up the vocal chords so that
they’re able to sustain hours of singing.
Operas are not short.”
The Muskogee native should know.
She’s performed in opera houses all
over the world and packs a repertoire
ranging from the infamous vixen of
Bizet’s “Carmen” to the Cherokee corn
spirit Selu in “The Trail of Tears Drama”
in Tahlequah.
Plus, she’s met one the most powerful
and famous diaphragm muscles of all –
the one belonging to super tenor Placido
Domingo.
“I ran right into him and bounced off,
because these muscles are very strong,”
she says, gesturing at her core. “… And
I looked up and said, ‘You’re Placido
Domingo,’ and he said, ‘Oh, yes.’”
Yes, operas are not short. After four
decades on stage, McAlister has earned
the right to sit at the edge of her seat,
back perfectly straight, even if it makes
the people seated opposite aware of their
own vertebral shortcomings.
Along with a handful of individuals,
the Muskogee native will be inducted
into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame.
The 2013 induction ceremony will be
7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15 at the Mabee
Center, 7777 S. Lewis Ave., in Tulsa.
Along with McAlister, the inductees are
Jimmy Webb, Mason Williams, Sandi
Patty, Norma Jean, the late Bob Dunn
“One day this huge
voice came out,” she
says. “It never left me
from that time.”
and the Mabee Center. Neal Schon,
founding member of the band Journey,
is also a member of the 2013 class, but he
was formally inducted in August. Roger
Davis will be honored with the OMHF
Governor’s Award, while Muskogee’s
Swon Brothers (who will hold a concert
after the ceremony) will be recognized
with the Rising Star Award.
McAlister will sing at the ceremony,
exhibiting those credentials that have
taken her to Carnegie Hall, Lincoln
Center, the Kennedy Center and the
National Museum of the American
Indian. By the way she talks about her
hometown, however, you’d believe that
Muskogee is her favorite place in the
world.
Seated in the parlor of friend Sue
Gaston’s historic 1905 home, McAlister
remembers the places of her childhood.
She and Gaston have known each other
for a long time. McAlister’s parents built
the house next door to the Gastons, and
the families became fast friends.
Her father, Lawrence S. McAlister,
was a surgeon and doctor of several
specialties born in Webbers Falls in 1905
to Lawrence C. McAlister, a salesman
of Scottish lineage, and Susie Sevier,
a young Cherokee and graduate of
Tahlequah’s Cherokee Female Seminary.
He studied medicine in Omaha, Neb.,
where he met a pretty girl named Clara
Edwards on a blind date. They married
and nine months later, McAlister’s eldest
brother was born.
The couple moved to Muskogee, where
they raised three children – Larry, John
and Barbara – as the doctor established
his career. McAlister remembers their
first home in Muskogee, a two-story
house on Fond du Lac Street (now
Martin Luther King Jr. Street). As a child,
she listened to her father sing German
Lieder (or art songs) such as “Death and
the Maiden.” He had vocal training from
his student days and was a good singer.
Her mother played piano and tried to get
McAlister to play, too, but the child was
more interested in vocal music.
Both fans of opera, her parents listened
to classical recordings on the RCA
Victor. The McAlisters frequently invited
friends and neighbors to their home
to listen, too, and to sing at the piano.
These gatherings made an impression
on the little Barabar, who rarely spoke
and never sang in front of anyone. At the
age of three she had a breakthrough –
beneath the piano.
“I think I sat under the piano so as
not to be noticed, then I wouldn’t have to
leave the room (at bedtime),” McAlister
says. “And then one time, I remember,
I discovered my voice and started
screaming. I was sent to my room.”
Barbara McAlister will be inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame October 15, 2013 at the Mabee Center in Tulsa.

By the time she was 13, McAlister
reached a crossroads. She wanted to
sing just like her idol of the time, Patrice
Munsel, the coloratura soprano famous
as the youngest singer to star with the
Metropolitan Opera Company in New
York City. She also discovered popular
music on the radio and wanted to
become a country singer playing guitar
on horseback between opportunities to
barrel race. Opera won, of course, and
the quiet girl prepared for a life of singing
with her first vocal teacher, a soprano in
Muskogee’s First Presbyterian Church
choir named Jeanne Parker.
“I think I really did go up to her and
say, ‘I want to sing as beautifully as you
do. How do you do it?’” McAlister says.
It was a bold move for her.
“I was very shy growing up,” McAlister
says.
“Still is,” Sue Gaston, seated nearby,
interjects. “… By that I mean she won’t
say what all she really can do.”
If McAlister has a “weakness,” it’s a
missing zeal to promote herself, Gaston
says.
Marketing generally isn’t taught in
university music programs.
McAlister first attended the University
of Tulsa, but left after two years to finish
her studies at Oklahoma City University.
Semester breaks were taken up with
summer stock gigs with regional musical
theater and opera companies. After
graduation, she moved around from
New York to North Carolina (where
she worked with TV and film actor Clu
Gulager, another Muskogee native) and
back to Muskogee before heading to Los
Angeles, where she met her master voice
teacher Lee Sweetland. With Sweetland
(and later with his son, Steve Sweetland),
she made her greatest strides.
“One day this huge voice came out,”
she says. “It never left me from that
time.”
Sweetland’s
training
and
encouragement led McAlister to
acceptance into the competitive Los
Angeles Civic Light Opera Music
Theatre Program. She also won the
prestigious National Vocal Competition
for Young Opera Singers in New York
and Los Angeles sponsored by the Loren
L. Zachary Society for the Performing
Arts. The award led to work in Europe,
including a 10-year stint in German
repertory opera and roles with such
outfits as Opéra de Monte Carlo (thanks
to a letter to Prince Rainier of Monaco),
the New Bulgarian Opera and the
Florentine Opera Company.
McAlister has numerous roles to her
resume, including the aforementioned
Carmen, Amneris from “Aida,”
Azucena from “Il Trovatore,” Ostrud
from “Lohengrin” and Santuzza from
“Cavalleria Rusticana” among her
favorites. She has performed in operas
and as a soloist with the Houston
Symphony, Dusseldorf Symphony,
Washington Opera, New York Grand
Oklahoma Arts Council. Much of her
time, however, is taken up with teaching
and painting. McAlister offers free voice
training to Cherokee Nation members.
She currently has 15 pupils as such in
addition to a few private students.
She began painting as a youth when she
fell in love with the works of celebrated
Muscogee-Seminole artist Jerome Tiger,
his brother Johnny Tiger Jr. and their
contemporaries. Today, she paints in the
style that influenced her then.
McAlister is also learning to speak
and sing in Cherokee, which she did

Sliver of a Full Moon
is a portrayal of resistance and celebration. It is the story of a movement that restored the authority of Indian
tribes over Non-Indian abusers to protect women on tribal lands. Although hundreds, if not thousands,
contributed to this victory, Sliver of a Full Moon follows the story of five Native women who took a stand, and two
Native men who stood with them to win this victory under the Violence Against Women Act in 2013. Their stories
are that of a movement with a vision of a Full Moon under which the sovereignty of Indian tribes is fully restored
over their lands and peoples. It sheds lights on how we are stronger together.

Opera and Tulsa Opera.
Throughout her career, she always felt
the support of her family, particularly
her parents.
“They were wonderful, wonderful
people. I was very blessed. People used
to say, ‘You really sacrificed to do what
you’re doing’ … Just recently it dawned
on me that my parents sacrificed a lot,
too. They really believed in me as a
singer,” she says.
In 2009, she returned to Muskogee.
“This is where I grew up, so I wanted to
come home,” she says. “When I left New
York as a singer, I didn’t have any idea of
what I would do when I got here.”
But a dramatic mezzo-soprano can
find work even in Oklahoma. McAlister
is a fine arts instructor and performer
for Cherokee Nation. She is also a
performing artist registered with the
not hear growing up. Her grandmother,
Susie Sevier, was in her mid-20s when
she died.
“She spoke Cherokee, but because
I never met her, I never really was
introduced to Cherokee culture,”
McAlister says. “My dad was very proud
that we were Cherokee, I know that. He
always talked about it.”
She may not live in a city renowned for
opera culture, but McAlister is still living
the artist’s life. There is no secret to it.
“I never thought of it as a business,”
she says. “I just did it because I love
doing it.”

Kickapoo actress, Cherokee writer team up
to tackle a serious issue in Indian Country
KAREN SHADE
Cherokee | Diné
Kickapoo actress and playwright
Arigon Starr is known for comic timing,
her comic books and hilarious touch
with a song.
“I don’t do a lot of political kind of
stuff, usually,” she says from her Los
Angeles office, hard at work on the next
installment of her “Super Indian” comic
series. “I’m political in my own way, but
this is really, really quite different.”
“Sliver of a Full Moon,” the drama Starr
will next appear in, is about the efforts
of five Native Americans who pushed
hard for the recent passage of the federal
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).
It’s not light, fluffy entertainment, yet
“Sliver of a Full Moon” may be one of
the more enlightening plays to hit a local
stage because it focuses on certain facts.
For instance, 39 percent of American
Indian and Alaska Native women will
be subjected to violence by a spouse,
boyfriend or intimate partner in their
lifetimes, higher than for women of any
other ethnicity in the U.S., according to
a 2008 study by the Centers for Disease
Control.

Arigon Starr and
Mary Kathryn
Nagle present
“Sliver of a Full
Moon” to raise
awareness
of the rate of
violence against
Native women.
Arigon Starr
Just as troubling, among Native women
who were raped or sexually assaulted
between 1992-2005, about 67 percent of
victims described their offenders as nonNative.
The reauthorization of VAWA was
important to all women as it expanded
its provisions to include protections for
more than just Native Americans, but in
Indian Country its impact was felt all the
way back to Columbus’ arrival.
“I think this entire country mostly is
pretty ignorant when it comes to Indian
law,” said the play’s author, Mary Kathryn
Nagle, Cherokee. “All you have to do
is listen to a Supreme Court argument
and listen to the questions the justices
are asking. You can figure out pretty
quickly that a lot of them don’t have a lot
of knowledge for the legal existence of
sovereign Indian tribes before 1492 and
even how those tribes interacted in that
sovereign-to-sovereign relationship with
the U.S. after 1492.”
“Sliver of a Full Moon” looks at tribal
authority in the context of VAWA at the
Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame, 111 E. First
St., Tulsa. The evening begins at 6 p.m.
with an opening reception followed by a
lantern ceremony at 7 p.m. The play starts
at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10, available at
www.myticketoffice.com.
Directed by playwright Carolyn Dunn
(Muscogee, Cherokee), the play will
be presented during the 70th National
Congress of American Indians Annual
Mary Kathryn Nagle
Convention, which takes place Oct.
13-18 at the Hard Rock Tulsa Hotel &
Casino, as tribal government and leaders
gather to examine issues pressing to
Native people.
VAWA is one of the first topics for
discussion.
The act was first signed into legislation
by President Bill Clinton in September
1994. It has been reauthorized three
times, most recently in March when it was
signed by President Barack Obama. The
most recent measure added protections
for women in same-sex relationships
and undocumented immigrants. It also
allows tribal courts to prosecute nonNatives accused of rape and domestic
violence against Native American
women, loosening the grip of a 1978
U.S. Supreme Court decision barring
tribal courts from trying non-Natives
for criminal offenses committed against
Native citizens on Native lands.
Passage set a new marker for tribal
sovereignty, but it almost didn’t happen.
The measure had opposition in the U.S.
House that did not want to add these
provisions. It wasn’t until February
that the act was reconciled between
both houses of Congress with the new
provisions intact. The VAWA goes into
effect on March 7, 2015.
“Sliver of a Full Moon,” which
premiered in June during the Women
Are Sacred Conference in Albuquerque,
N.M., breaks down the months of
lobbying and piles of legal precedence
that it took to reach passage.
“That stuff ’s pretty dry, and to craft
a drama around that really does take a
lot of skill, and I think that’s something
you’re going to see on stage … I definitely
applaud her skill,” Starr said.
Nagle, an attorney and playwright in
New York City and honorary member of
the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska, said many
people were involved in the effort, but
her play focuses on the stories of five
Native women and two Native men on
the frontlines. Blending monologues
with scenes, the play’s structure is similar
to Moises Kaufman’s “The Laramie
Project” and Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina
Monologues” – both plays commenting
on social issues and directly addressing
the audience to the max.
Nagle, who has six full-length plays
to her credit, has written several works
at the juncture of Native American
sovereignty and U.S. law.
“What makes the play compelling is
what made the movement compelling,
and it’s these women’s stories,” Nagle
said. “No one really understood why
this act is necessary until they heard
Diane Millich’s story, until they heard
Deb Parker’s story, ‘til they hear Lisa
Brunner’s story.”
Milich (Southern Ute), Lisa Brunner
(White Earth Ojibwe) and Billie Jo

chair of the Tulalip Tribes Board of

and the Broadway run of “August:
Osage County”) portrays Terri
Henry, Eastern Band of Cherokee
councilwoman.
Starr, who plays several roles,
said Nagle has made the trials of
VAWA understandable.
“It (the act) helped solidify
sovereignty,” Starr says.” That’s one
of the things that’s always going to
be important to me.”
Although she began writing the
play when the act’s future was in
doubt, Nagle says it was necessary
to show the public why the
legislation is significant to Indian
communities on an individual and
tribal level. It still is. “For every
woman that stands and shares her
story,” she says, “there are hundreds
of others.”

Robert J. Conley
A three-time Spur Award winner, Robert J. Conley bases his new book on the classic Russian novel Brothers
Karamazov. Half Cherokee and Civil War veteran Captain Skylar Garret returns to the home of Phillip Garret, his
white father, seeking an inheritance that he believes to have belonged to his late mother. Intertwined now into
the lives of his three half brothers – one a vocal atheist, one an aspiring minister, and the other a black slave
boy who Phillip Garret doesn’t claim – Skylar finds himself in more than a quarrel for money, but also in the
middle of a love triangle with his own father, and ultimately on trial for patricide. Will Skylar Garret be the next
hanging from Judge Parker’s court?

Story Conference Oct. 17-19
MUSKOGEE, Okla. – The Fourth Annual Five Tribes
Story Conference brings together some of Indian Country’s
most renowned authors, storytellers, and scholars. Evening
concerts, free and open to the public, feature storytellers
from the Five Tribes, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee,
Creek, and Seminole. Throughout the two days, tribal
historians and native speakers will discuss a wide
range of topics, from the Trail of Tears to the boarding
school experience, encouraging audience questions and
discussion.
Award-winning authors, playwrights, storytellers, poets,
scholars, artists and filmmakers such as Joe Bruchac, Clara
Sue Kidwell, RoyBoney Jr., Rilla Askew, Phillip Carroll
Morgan, and Les Hannah gather on the beautiful campus
of historic Bacone College to interact with conference
participants in the hopes of fostering a deeper interest and
encouraging network of champions for the evolution of the
Five Tribes narrative.
For tribal members, the event offers a chance to share
family experiences, while the non-Native can enjoy a rare
close-up look at history, literature, and artistic presentation
through American Indian eyes.
This exciting two-day gathering, hosted by the Five
Civilized Tribes Museum, will be on the grounds of the
Five Civilized Tribes Museum and Bacone College.
Co-founders Greg Rodgers and Tim Tingle had long envisioned
a conference to bring together researchers, tribal language experts,
poets, novelists, children’s writers, and storytellers, to celebrate the
common narratives of the Five Tribes. Mary Robinson, museum
educational director, caught the vision and began the process of
securing grants and funding for this low-cost two-day celebration
of Oklahoma Indian stories possible every year.
Salty Pie: A book by Tim Tingle, Choctaw author & conference founder
Bee stings on the backside! And
that was just the beginning. Tim was
about to enter a world of the past,
with bullying boys and stones and
Indian spirits of long ago. But they
were real spirits, real stones, and
very real memories…
In this powerful family saga,
Choctaw author Tim Tingle tells
the story of his family’s move
from Oklahoma Choctaw country
to Pasadena, Texas. Spanning
fifty years, Saltypie describes the
problems encountered by his
Choctaw grandmother—from her
orphan days at an Indian boarding
school to hardships encountered
in her new home on the Texas Gulf
Coast.
Tingle says, “Stories of modern
Indian families rarely grace the
printed page. Long before I began
writing, I knew this story must be
told.” Seen through the innocent
eyes of a young boy, Saltypie is the
story of one family’s efforts to honor
the past while struggling to gain a
foothold in modern America. More
than an Indian story, Saltypie is an
American story, of hardships shared
and the joy of overcoming.
Tim Tingle, a member of the
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is a
sought-after storyteller for folklore
festivals, library conferences, and
schools across America. At the
request of Choctaw Chief Pyle, Tim
tells a story to the tribe every year
before Pyle’s State of the Nation
Address at the Choctaw Labor Day
Gathering.

A Choctaw Story:
Long Journey to Okla Homma
By STELLA LONG
Choctaw
Long before Eskunolubee, a medicine
man, went away to spirit land, he had
predicted a time when his children would
be forced to leave their homeland.
Years later, his prediction came true.
Eskunolubee’s descendants left their land
and traveled, weary and despondent
through foreign land.
Finally, they carefully crossed the
blue waters of the Mountain Fork River.
They stood in awe of the beauty of this
new land. Each family hurriedly built a
fire to warm before the sun went to the
other side.
The long journey had ended but
they were sad for leaving their homes
in Mississippi. Sorrow filled their
hearts for those who were left behind
without a descent burial in unmarked
graves somewhere along the trail. But
the children of Eskunolubee didn’t look
back very long in this new land of Okla
Homma “Red People.”
The Choctaw people gathered in
prayer for having survived the difficult
journey. They gathered for their worship
service led by an elder of the group. As
the sun was sinking fast behind the
mountains, they blended their voices
in harmony above the sounds of the
roaring river.
When darkness came, the owl people
looked down wondering, “Whoo, Whoo,
are these people?” They scolded the
people for bringing fire into the forest.
Maestro Cricket lifted his baton and
his orchestra of insects accompanied
the Choctaw people with their fine
music. Following many songs, the elder
dismissed them in prayer, but not a single
person moved. They sat quietly in their
own thoughts.
Out of respect to the people, the maestro
hushed his orchestra.
A lone white wolf, a protector and healer
to those who believe, sat atop a distant
ridge and howled long and mournfully.
A mysterious fog emerged in the
darkness of the night from between the
tall pines and came upon the people like
a soothing salve. The healing had begun.
Their sadness and apprehension slowly
left their wounded spirits and replaced
with a peace that passed understanding.
My father Dixon was a descendant
of Eskunolubee and was born near the
Mountain Fork River near Eagletown.
Stella (Fichek) writes
children’s stories,
getting her ideas from
the animals and birds.
I am the great, great, great granddaughter
of Eskunolubee.
I am of the Wolf Clan.
This story is a blend of history and fiction,
based on Stella’s ancestor Eskunolubee and
the time in which he lived.
Stella’s (Fichek is her Choctaw name;
Estella is the English name she likes best)
mountain path was one of beauty as she
walked alone at the age of six, talking with
her friends, the creatures of the wild in
the Choctaw language. The mountain was
her playground. There were times when
she’d forget to go home until the night
musicians, the insects, began tuning their
instruments.
Her life made a sudden change when at
the age of ten years old, she was sent away
to an orphanage. She lived there for seven
years until she became ill with pulmonary
tuberculosis and was hospitalized for five
years. Stella tells of how she coped with
having to watch her friends die from
the disease or from the complications
of surgery. There was a time when she
wanted to die rather than to watch her
friends being carried out of the hospital
to the funeral home. She describes the
emotions, fear, hope and thoughts of the
patients.
Stella (Fichek) writes children’s stories,
getting her ideas from the animals and
birds as she sits for hours in the solitary
quietness of the lakeside observing
animal behavior. She weaves a part
of her life into these stories combined
with Choctaw songs and sounds of the
flute. Before she leaves the lakeside, the
creatures are honored with a special
melody from the flute for their help with
the stories.
When it is convenient, she likes
involving the audience at the end of
her session with the Choctaw Snake
Dance. She has performed at festivals,
powwows, churches, schools, universities,
various Native American functions and
at the Native American Museum at the
Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.
She trained in the art of storytelling
as a student in Oral Literature through
the University of Oklahoma’s Continuing
Education, Summers in Santa Fe.
She was awarded Contemporary
Storyteller of the Year 2002 by Wordcraft
Circle of Native Writers & Storytellers.
Wordcraft is a national organization that
promotes the works of Native American
authors.
