Sometimes the same truth can be seen through different eyes. Two men in Calgary, for instance -- one a Native counselor and the other one a non-Native scientist -- realize that eagles are crying out a warning to mankind. And now both men are sharing that warning. For Peter Sherrington, eagles at first were only a dot in his consciousness.

Natives and non-Natives will gather in a celebration of Indian culture during the seventh annual Native Awareness Week in Calgary held May 15 to 21.

The theme of this year's event -- Honoring the Staff of Life: Unity, Strength, Wisdom, Respect -- was chosen in recognition of the birth of a white buffalo in Wisconsin last August. The white buffalo has been received by Native people as a symbol of hope.

Carol Carpenter of Calgary Aboriginal Awareness Society said the intent

is consistent with the society's slogan: Bridging the Gap.

An invitation to "explore the ancient universe of the Blackfoot Empire" is the theme of a new Aboriginal Tourism Action Plan prepared by the Sikooh-kotoki Friendship Society in Lethbridge, Alta. The 75-page document is the result of almost two years of study and effort, but creators of the plan say the real work is just beginning.

Margaret Roper learned about the foster-care system the hard way. She was sent to a white foster family at the age of 14 and promptly ran away.

"Their values -- everything -- were so alien to me," she says. "I thought, 'What am I doing here? I don't fit here. They only got me because they needed someone to clean the house."

Roper is now a social worker who wants to make the system better. She is involved in a program offered by the Calgary Indian Friendship Centre

that is recruiting and training Native families to become foster families.
