Dear Editor:
I am a 19-year-old student building an Indian summer camp for kids.
During my trip in western Canada (last October) I tried to find a good
journal or magazine about Canadain native people. I found many of them,

I am also looking for an Ojibway-Algonquain dictionary. If you could

Dear Editor:
Enjoy the paper--love the cartoons. I just have one comment. Don't
worry about the show, North of 60. I really don't think Melrose Place,
