2 2007 National Conference of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums About the Conference Logo The conference logo incorporates The Guard- ian by renowned Master Artist, Seminole Chief, and retired Oklahoma State Senator Kelly Haney. The sculpture stands prominently atop the Oklahoma State Capitol. Rising to a height of twenty-two feet and weighing 4,000 pounds, it embodies the diversity within the proud and strong population of Oklahoma, while serving as a reminder of tumultuous times. The Guardian signifies the thousands of Na- tive Americans that were forced from their homes during the 1800s and exemplifies the valor of Oklahomans and their ability to overcome tragedies. Senator Kelly Haney, speaking as The Guard- ian, provides this insight into the symbolism of the statue: “My lance pierces my legging and is planted in the ground. I will not be moved from my duty, from my love of Oklahoma and all of its people—people who have come from far and near, people who have withstood adversities and hardships, and still stand strong and proud. I will stand my ground. I will stand guard over our great state, over our majestic land, over our values, I will not be moved.” Senator Haney’s message to you, as a “Guardian of Culture,” is to, “Dream big. Work hard. Believe deeply … for this is just the beginning. Let us all rise to our potential.” The Artist Truly a modern-day renaissance man, Enoch Kelly Haney’s talents span two separate spheres— namely politics and art. Born on November 12, 1940, to William Woodrow and Hattie Louise Haney, Enoch grew up in Seminole, Oklahoma. The son of a full-blood Seminole and Creek Indian, Haney’s own grandfather was chief of the Seminole Tribe in the 1940s. Haney’s interest in Indian people is evident in his art, as he puts a great amount of energy into the research and documentation of Native American culture and traditions. His work is exacting in its detail and representation of native peoples. Haney received his Associate of Arts degree from Bacone College, and his Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from Oklahoma City University. In 1962 he was honored with the Rockefeller Foundation Scholarship at the University of Arizona. Haney was designated as the Master Artist of the Five Civilized Tribes in 1975. He has also received the Governor’s Art Award, and the Indian Heritage Award. Along with his work as an artist, Haney has served terms in the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the State Senate. It has been written that Chief Haney’s work has come full circle with the creation of a sculpture that crowns the building where he devoted a third of his life.

This 2007 National Tribal Conference of Archives, Libraries, and Museums is bringing together over 550 registrants from 45 states and 200 tribes for the purpose of sharing, exploring, developing, and perpetuat- ing their respective missions as Guardians of Language, Memory and Lifeways. Nothing has greater significance for the cultural preserva- tion of our individual tribes than to ensure that we wisely and professionally preserve our history, artifacts, stories, art, and literature for generations to come. The next three days will offer you a wide array of useful resources to help you accomplish this goal
