Page 8

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."

An out-of-the-ring bout with a cabbie has cost the first Native Canadian heavyweight champ his title.

Danny Stonewalker was stripped of his title Feb. 16 after pleading guilty to assault, failure to appear in court and impaired driving. The Fort McMurray Native was sentenced to 90 days in jail for an incident involving a dispute over cab fare shortly before Christmas 1991.

Innu from the troubled community of Davis Inlet in northern Labrador have arrived in Alberta to begin treatment for substance abuse.

A group of 40 Innu adolescents, Elders and parents made the trip to Poundmaker's Lodge, a Native-run facility north of Edmonton, in mid-February.

But the treatment won't start until the Innu are settled, the lodge's executive director said.

"Right now we're just making assessments," said Pat Shirt. "We're getting people comfortable. It's difficult for some of them to be in a new place."
