If you go into the woods, make sure Walter Quinn is with you.

Quinn, a long-time trapper, recently unveiled his new Aboriginal cultural camp located at Deeridge Estates, five kilometres southeast of Lac La Biche.

With sponsorship from Alberta Pacific Forest Industries, where Quinn is employed as a trapper co-ordinator, the culture camp offers up a traditional glimpse of Aboriginal culture and spirituality.

From authentic tipis to traditional feasts made over an open fire, the camp serves up a sampling of Aboriginal life to visitors from near and far.

"A humorous song cannot compromise serious songs. They both stand on their own merit," wrote Cathy Sewell in one of her many University of Alberta papers.

It was humor that was centre stage at the University of Alberta's Myer Horowitz Theatre on Sept. 22, as friends and family gathered to publicly celebrate their memories of Sewell.

Sewell (April 5, 1962 to Aug. 23, 2001) was a gifted musician, journalist, leader, educator, speaker, warrior and woman who died from cancer.

The seventh annual Prince Albert Metis Fall Festival was held Sept. 14, 15, and 16 and, according to organizers, the event was a success.

"I think this year is probably one of the best turnouts we've ever had," said Kevin Souter, president of the 2001 edition of the festival.

"We've got great dance troupes from all over the place, from Alberta, Manitoba. I believe we even have one up from North Dakota, so we've got a really good selection."

First Nations kids from in and around Saskatoon have a place to go to discover and develop their talents, thanks to the Crossing Bridges program.

The Crossing Bridges: Bridge City Track Program started out as a pilot program in the summer of 2000, bringing kids from the west side of Saskatoon across the bridge to the east side, to Griffiths Stadium to take part in a track and field program.

Since then, the program has run one indoor winter program and a second summer program, and preparations are underway for a second winter season.
