It may not be 1993 or even 1994, but a group of volunteers in British Columbia are hoping to see a declaration of the international year of the elder in the not-too-distant future.

"Indigenous elders speak from the heart," said Karie Garnier, who is co-ordinating the campaign through a volunteer organization called Our Elders Speak Wisdom Society.

"There is a need for the rest of the world to hear the messages, the words of the indigenous elders...We have enough technology to destroy the world many times over but we don't have the wisdom."

Canadian Indian artist Gerald McMaster uses humor and irony to address the dischotomy of the stereotypes of cowboys and Indians.

His exhibition, The Cowboy/Indian Show, runs at the Calgary Glenbow Museum until Oct. 17.

When McMaster first started working on the concept three years ago, he saw it as an opportunity to visibly question stereotypes. He saw how the "cowboy/Indian" stereo- type was "pitting an entire race of people against an occupation," and how this stereotype was ironic.
