It was a cool, crisp day on Nov. 16, like the one exactly 112 years ago when Metis leader, activist and politician Louis David Riel was hanged in Regina.

Over the years, upward of 100 people have gathered, and braved the cold on the front steps of the Alberta Legislature to pay homage to Riel on the anniversary of his death.

A small but appreciative crowd turned out for An Evening With Ken Ward, Nov. 7 at Grant MacEwan Community College.

Musicians and storytellers came together on their own time to honor Ward and others living with HIV and AIDS.

Ward, an AIDS carrier, turned the tables and said it was he who was honoring those who turned out.

Dale Auger, a storyteller from Calgary, hosted the evening. It was extremely informal and felt more like sitting around a neighbor's family room, instead of a theatre. All that was missing was the neck bone soup and bannock.

The annual fall talent show and sober dance hosted by the Lac La Biche Canadian Native Friendship Centre drew a large crowd to the Jubilee Hall on Saturday, November 8.

"It was a very good turnout," said Friendship Centre president Ralph Whitford. "We didn't expect that many people."

The evening supper and sober dance was so successful people were asking the Friendship Centre to hold more, Whitford said. "People were telling us we should have more but it's a lot of work."

At the Swan River First Nation, a 54-year-old man has walked more than 100 km. At the Fort McMurray First Nation #468, a woman has organized petitions and written letters to newspapers. In Morley, a man started up a grassroots coalition of Aboriginal people. Each of these actions are protests of a sort. Protests, the people involved say, came about because the government isn't doing anything to answer the questions and concerns they have.
