Bones get proper burial

Page 25

It's been five years since Linda Taylor rescued a young Native girl from the Huronia Museum.

Her remains had been hanging on the wall as part of a display of Native bones in this central Ontario community.

Taylor said the exhibit was offensive. The bones of Natives are sacred and belong in the ground, she said.

"And it's not just Natives," said the 37-year-old Iroquois Indian.

"It's a human tissue. It's disgusting that museums have mummies on display and artifacts from graves. These people should be left in peace."

Bloods get new police chief

Page 24

On first acquaintance, Wayne Hamby doesn't seem to be a policeman, much less the chief of a busy, growing police department. But appearances would certainly be deceiving in this case.

Despite his soft-spoken manner, the newly appointed Chief of Police on the Blood Reserve in southern Alberta, is a highly qualified law enforcement officer. And though shy with the press, he's also an able police administrator.
