Page

The Metis community has bid farewell to one of its most respected and accomplished women, a veritable giant in terms of her efforts and accomplishments.

On April 26, funeral services for the late Dr. Anne Anderson-Irvine were held at the St. Albert Catholic Church. It was a time of celebration as well as sorrow said her favorite niece, Elaine Rowe, in her eulogy.

This "tall, strong, independent woman. . . made her mark," particularly in fulfilling her mother's wishes "to keep the language and culture of Metis people alive."

Oki. It's finally spring! With all the events Mother Earth has been involved in, flooding, freak weather changes and so on, we should think more about why she is doing this? I watched The Nature of Things when CBC aired its show on the Boreal forest and it blew me away. What we do as human beings can be harmful. Mother Earth has been showing us the balance of good and bad. We are the bad and she is the good. I don't usually talk about these kinds of things, but they sure make me wonder if the great advancement of human kind caused these problems.
