Justice system failing Aboriginals - symposium

Page R9

When the Task Force on the Criminal Justice System released the Justice on Trial Report in 1991, its chief recommendation was to bring a criminal justice system back to the Native and Metis communities of Alberta.

But most of the task forces recommendations are yet to become reality, participants heard at the recent Aboriginal Justice Symposium held at the Enoch Cree Nation.

Native Sons clip Falcons' wing

Four games in one day is too much for any hockey team. It was definitely too much for Vernon's Westside Totems who packaged together three straight wins to make it to the final of the Kamloops Falcons First Annual Native Hockey Tournament Nov. 26-28, in Kamloops, B.C.

With only Zamboni time for rest between the four-game marathon the Totems met undefeated Okanagan Native Sons from Penticton in the final and fell hard to a 10-0 decision.

Rodeo exhibit planned for Ottawa

Page R6

The quiet man standing near the gates at Canadian Finals Rodeo XX isn't known to many of the cowboys.

But he has quite a title: he's a curator of plains ethnology at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. By 1997, Morgan Baillargeon should be better known to all in the rodeo industry. He'll be bringing a rodeo to the Ottawa area as part of a huge exhibit on the culture of the Plains Native people.
