Women should be honored for their service

Dear Editor:

I am sure you are all pleased the governor general of Canada, Adrienne Clarkson, finally unveiled a bronze statue in recognition of all the Aboriginals who enlisted and served in two world wars and the Korean conflict, and served so well, although it should have been done at least 45 years ago.

Congratulations to Sam Sinclair and Chester Cunningham for never giving up in this endeavor until it was accomplished.

Chief, why don't you write?

Dear Editor:

Re: The editorial "Where are you chief?" in your July issue of Windspeaker.

I am not surprised at all that you have problems contacting Chief Coon Come, because I have been writing to him since he was with the Grand Council of the Crees, and to this day he has yet to respond to any of the letters that I wrote to him.

Joint Initiative alive and well

Dear Editor:

I am writing in response to Jeff Bear's "op-ed" piece "Kill the Sacred Cow" which appeared in the June edition of Windspeaker.

The article contained a number of inaccurate and false statements concerning the AFN/INAC Joint Initiative for Policy Development, the staff that work on that initiative and the Assembly of First Nations in general. As acting director for the Joint Initiative I will confine my comments to the Joint Initiative.

Scrap the act; work together

Dear Editor:

There is so much outcry from Native organizations across Canada regarding the Indian Act amendments called "First Nations Governance Initiative."

The Indian Act is the most degrading piece of legislation there ever was. Yet I hear people putting their leaders down because they don't want to discuss these changes with Robert Nault. I think if people want to be Robert Nault's "Little Indians," then let them.

It's in the stars

ARIES

Good News! This is your month. I hope you can afford the payments. The stars will truly shine on you for the next four weeks until you get the roof repaired. Enjoy life. Be confident. Grab the tiger by the tail, unless you are at the zoo.

TAURUS

This is the month for love. Taurus, be prepared to be swept off your feet because chances are he or she will be a janitor. Play hard to get before he gets to be hard. Love can be fickle, so don't be afraid of disappointment. That's why God created gas cans and lighters.
