Page 9

More than Aboriginal post-secondary students from across Saskatchewan gathered at the Centennial Auditorium in Saskatoon Feb. 1, as the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) hosted its first Corporate Circle Job Fair.

Some of the province's biggest employers were involved in the job fair, organized by FSIN's Corporate Circle as a way to create employment opportunities for Aboriginal youth, and to show them what kind of a future Saskatchewan has to offer.

Angus is one of the three founders of the Saskatchewan Aboriginal Education and Voter Registration Drive, a nonprofit organization formed to encourage Aboriginal people to take part in the election process at all levels.

Angus, along with Jason Bear and Donald Morin, founded the organization last January while all three were Sociology majors at the University of Saskatchewan.

Roland, a First Nation's student confronted Lorenzo Bouchard outside the legislative buildings in Victoria on Feb. 1. Bouchard has been picketing the University of Victoria, Camosun College and the legislature with a message about treaty negotiations or Aboriginal people in general.

"True Aboriginal people should be individually given a piece of land and a sum of money," in regards to rectifying past injustices, but "true Aboriginal people" are only those that have and can prove 100 per cent Native blood, he told Roland and Raven's Eye.
