".....all I knew was the only way for me to survive was to train and use that talent, that's all I knew...."

Margo Kane's name somehow never evoked images of a despairing, aimless young adult or an artist shaped by life's struggles.

That was before I interviewed her recently by phone from her home in Vancouver. I am ashamed to say that Kane had always struck me as someone who had "made it" with privileged ease. The ever-present role model posters and her "sugar and spice" movie and television roles were what had shaped my opinion.

Tansi, ahnee and hello. The first real story about the United Nations' International Year of Indigenous People has emerged. Untypically, it's not a touching success story meant to garner praise, lift spirits and conceal the truth of global indigenous reality. Rather it's a full-fledged technicolor nightmare about a small Labrador Innu community called Davis Inlet.

Canada boasts of having one of the highest living standards in the world. I guess someone should tell those people living at Davis Inlet that they're not quite making it as Canadians. The living conditions of the Innu people are absolutely appalling and it's a disgrace that it's happening in Canada. These conditions are to be expected in Third World countries. It must be very embarrassing for the Canadian government when tragedies like the Innu incident make national headlines.
