Museum "The Indians themselves have to understand that they can't rely on the government anymore. Jesse Monongya Continued from Page 13A terior Department, said counterfeiting is affecting artists more than the museums, which have a total of about 50,000 visitors a year.

He said counterfeiting eats up a "couple hundred million dollars a year" of Indian artists' income. Compared with the small museum attendance, counterfeiting is more a national problem that should be addressed by the national government, he said. ASSOCIATED PRESS for many tourists traveling through and to Oklahoma, but the museum is a draw, said Cheryl Weaver, executive director of the Anadarko Chamber of Commerce. "That museum brings them to us," Weaver said. "This is our heritage, too.

We all grew up together both the tribal people and the non-tribal people. We're all part of each others' lives." Passing the baton to Oklahomans is the best option, Cameron said. "We think over the long run, these collections and these museums would be better off, in virtually every way, under local management and control." Monongya agrees. He said he'd like to see Anadarko and the affected tribes come up with creative funding solutions, like partnering with nearby colleges, applying for state funds and seeking private donations. "The Indians themselves have to understand that they can't rely on the government anymore," Monongya said.

Nahwooksy, of the Comanche Nation, wants to rely on lots of folks: private donors, tribes, the public, nonprofit groups, anyone with an interest in Indian art and culture. His vision is to take the museum and expand its purpose by adding programs, sending exhibits on traveling tours and attracting a new, broader audience. "We get to tell our story the way we want to tell it." Small-town hero The state and federal governments founded the Anadarko museum in 1947-48, according to the Indian Arts and Crafts Board. Several western Oklahoma tribes are represented: Kiowa, Comanche, Kiowa-Apache, Cheyenne and Ar-apaho, Wichita, Caddo, Delaware and Fort Sill Apache. Nearly 5,000 visitors, including international tourists from as far away as Germany and Kenya, visited the museum last year, Williams said.

About 4,000 artifacts fill the galleries and storage rooms. Among Williams' favorites: a collection of dolls that was recently taken off display. A shrinking budget and vanishing staff have trimmed the museum's reach, Williams said. But the curator continues her daily work, like preparing for an exhibit of women artists in March. "We're at the point now that we're keeping the doors open," Williams said.

'We're doing what we always do. We're still here." The museum is one of several Anadarko attractions, including Indian City USA and the National Hall of Fame for Famous Native American Indians. Anadarko is out of the way Kashmiri girl Naila shovels snow outside the tent set up on the rubble of her collapsed house Thursday in the village of Hassan Galiya, near Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani Kashmir. Earthquake survivors spent three nights there enduring rain, snow and below-freezing temperatures. Quake-scarred Kashmiris struggle to survive snow Dispute from rooftops and flowed down paths through the town of 6,000 people, which is draped across several hillsides at an elevation of about 5,100 feet.

Azher Bukhari, 35, a shopkeeper whose home and business were destroyed, was walking the snowy paths wearing sandals which he said was a form of protest against the Pakistani army's failure to provide aid. "The government isn't paying attention to this area," Bukhari said. The military has given out more than 50,000 shelters in Kashmir areas that lie above 5,000 feet, said Maj. Farooq Nasir, an army spokesman in Muzaffarabad. Families where the men have died will also get help assembling the temporary structures, he said.

Among those yet to receive shelter were the Butt family a mother, three daughters and a son. They were camped on a hillside near their former home, which collapsed on top of the family's 50-year-old patriarch. His body was recovered the day after the earthquake. The mother, Mehrfazoon, 45, said she had gone to the nearby military camp to receive relief supplies and spent a day waiting in vain. 'We were given nothing," said a daughter, Nayab, 13.

'We are living from hand to mouth." By The Associated Press CHICKAR, Pakistan The terraced paths through this mountain town are slick with ice, tents crammed with families have collapsed under the weight of snow and a truck mired in a muddy landslide blocked the main road into town. And winter has just barely begun. Camped on a steep hillside, the five members of the Butt family are surviving after the loss of their patriarch. Their "tent" is a tarp propped up by branches, and they say they spend their nights shivering, with just a single blanket each. Three months after an earthquake killed more than 80,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless, families across Pakistan-controlled Kashmir are coping with winter's first brush in the Himalayan foothills.

The winter season is set to hit in full force later this month, but it is already taking a toll. Health officials say cold-related illnesses are on the rise, but insist the situation hasn't yet become alarming. For now, the weather has improved. The sun shined brilliantly Thursday in Chickar, about 30 miles south of Muzaffarabad, where residents say about 700 people died in the quake. Water from melting snow dripped furbish the carriage home, but it's not structurally sound.

"In order to save it, you'd have to tear it down," he said. Humphreys plans to rebuild a close resemblance, he said. The Historic Preservation Commission must approve his plans. "We want to be good neighbors, and we want to live in concert with the nature of this area, and we believe we're doing that," Humphreys said. Humphreys' home sits on a corner in Oklahoma City's Heritage Hills neighborhood, just north of downtown.

Historical standards regulate buildings there. Additions and demolitions must be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission, which checks plans against city codes on the subject. Humphreys said he drafted, voted for and signed the latest revisions of those codes into law when he was mayor. He doesn't feel he's violating them now. Humphreys moved into his home at 1415 Hudson Ave.

in July. Continued from Page 13A viously voted to bar Humphreys from tearing down the building. Humphreys appealed that decision to the board of adjustment, which ruled in his favor. Preservationists said tearing down the rare and architecturally significant building will erase part of the city's history. Horses and carriages once were the primary mode of transportation in Oklahoma City, they said.

"I feel it's a tremendous loss," said Raina Pel-ofsky, head of a historic preservation review committee in neighboring Mesta Park. "We're losing a carriage house. There's a handful of 'em left, and to have that be replaced with the brand-spanking-new garage is just very sad to me." Humphreys said he would have liked to re.
