Page 11

Poverty creates low self-esteem and causes a volcano of unmet needs. Poverty is probably most often a large factor in the reasons that a person may commit crimes leading to prison.

Cort Gallup may be starting small, but his long range goals are big.

"We're aiming to produce Olympic and World Cup skiers," says the Cree coach of the new First Nations Ski Team. "But first we have to provide an opportunity to learn and to race."

Since last November Gallup has been giving the team that chance. In four months the youths have pulled together as a team and as individual athletes.

"We have a good future," Gallup says. "We're starting young."

The fourth annual Treaty Seven Games may well be the last. Although the most successful ever in terms of participation, the games are facing a financial deficit of approximately $5,000.

"We're still calculating the costs," says Mike Bruised Head, executive director of the Sik-Ooh-Kotoki Friendship Society in Lethbridge and president of The Treaty Seven Recreation Association.

"We budgeted $24,000 for the games, and we'll come close to that. But we haven't been able to raise the funds we had hoped."
