Will Johnson has been arrested 136 times. Each time, he was drunk.

"If I didn't drink, I wouldn't have a criminal record today," he says.

Many of the charges were simply for being intoxicated in a public place but quite

a few were for assault. In 1972 he was convicted of manslaughter. The sentence was suspended. Two years later he was charged with attempted murder.

It's quite a past to overcome, but 20 years after his manslaughter conviction, Johnson is dry and holding down a good job at a Winnipeg car lot.

Some might call it the little campaign that grew.

Hundreds of communities across Canada celebrated National Addictions Awareness Week with dances, talent shows, powwows and open houses.

The five-year-old campaign has grown in leaps and bounds since 1987, when

a handful of communities agreed to set aside the third week in November for activities promoting a sober lifestyle.

Tansi, ahnee and hello. This is the storyteller time. These long cold moons of winter were the times when the storytellers would gather their people around those old tribal fires. This was the time the legends came alive again. Tables of Wesakechak, Nanabush, Glooscap and Raven. Across the length and breadth of North America the stories were told.

The Charlottetown Accord has come and gone. Canadians across this country,

for whatever reasons, have clearly rejected the proposals. The debates are over, but the effects of the arguments will continue to be felt in this country for a long time.

What I found most disturbing about the debates was the lack of confidence some sectors of Native and non-Native society have in Native self-government.

Newspapers, television and radio carried some pretty strong messages against self-government.
