Dolly, the cloned sheep who recently made headlines, is typical of the interests of white society, according to Tony Hall of the University of Lethbridge.

"We're always looking for someone's idea of the one best animal or the one best way of doing things, then trying to reproduce it," he said. "In Indian country, there is no one best way. Diversity is much more valued."

Trying to maintain such diversity in culture, language and ways of thinking is one of the goals of Hall and the Native American studies department in which he teaches.

Tansi! How's your left hip? With all the round dances going on, it would not be unusual for some to complain about sore hips, eh?

Oki. How is everyone, in this slow-to-thaw spring? A friend of mine, Joanne, had a good point about this 1997 spring.
