The British Columbia Native Women's Society is doing its best to stop the federal government from finalizing land management deals with First Nations.
Barbara Findlay, legal counsel for the Native women's group, appeared in Vancouver's Federal Court on Dec. 4 to ask the court to rule that Aboriginal women living on reserve who leave their marriages should receive the same…

The kind voice with a French accent on the other end of the line left no doubt as to who was calling Thelma Chalifoux late last month.
"Madame Chalifoux, would you like to be a senator?" he asked.

An open letter to Prime Minister Jean Chretien:
I feel that some wise Aboriginal should set you in your place. I will do my best to do my part.
First: You are a human being, just as any one of us is. A few people are greedy that is all. It goes against the law of our land.
Second: You must shed your aggressive image. Just because your school teaches that the…
