An open letter to Prime Minister Jean Chretien
Dear Sir:
I am a Native student who has just completed high school and is entering a B.A. program this fall at university.

An open letter to Jane Stewart, minister of Indian affairs:
Not one moment of my day goes by that I don't think of my past. Every day I sit and wonder about how people were unjustly done, and who did it to them, such as the Dionne sisters. I'm very happy for you ladies (bless your dear souls). Like the Dionne's and the Japanese and the Chinese, all were compensated, but we…

Recently, I saw a popular film wherein a white man asked a person of color (never mind which one), "Have I oppressed you?" By way of an answer, I saw another film where a bushman, upon seeing destruction caused by whites, stated simply " The evil ones have been here." That is the nature of oppression, politics and violence, three words that today are almost synonymous.
The…

There are at least two stories in this month's issue about an apparent discrepancy between what politicians say when the cameras are rolling and what their deputies do or say behind closed doors.
