Four Sacred Stereotypes dominate film images of Indians

I don't know about other people but to me, political revelation is often inspired by the strangest places. It was another lonely Friday night, the kind I've been seeing much too regularly.

Dear Mr. Crowfoot:

We have received many letters of complaint about a story which appeared in our magazine Jughead's Double Digest #19. The letters criticized us and rightly so, for a panel in which one of our characters, Reggie, made reference to "going Native."

I have personally answered every complaint with our deepest apologies for offending the writer. Since…

Today we have the privilege (I use that term lightly) of voting for that "right for the job" individual to sit upon the Prime Ministers' throne and rule the country to the best of his or her ability. If you watched the nationally televised free-for-all a few weeks ago, the political arena was only minus a few pairs of boxing gloves. Whoa...what a choice we have. It's pretty…

Years of struggle for recognition of women's rights in Canada's Native communities have been discarded by the same organization entrusted with the defence of those rights.
