When original host Graham Greene called in sick to the 1997 National Aboriginal Achievement Awards, there were no regrets when Tom Jackson stepped into a role that he's practically made his own. Backed by another magnificent John Kim Bell set and surrounded by the cream of Canada's Aboriginal communities, Jackson and his co-hosts from North of 60, Tina Keeper and Gordon Tootoosis, were joined by Dances With Wolves' star Tantoo Cardinal.

Tansi!
Say, how about that made-in-Alberta television serial, North of 60! The program captured no fewer that two Gemini Awards recently, with one going to a terrific Aboriginal actress, Tina Keeper, for Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role, for her part in the segment "The River."
The other went to Lubomir Mykytiuk for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Series for his part in North of 60, "Refugee."

This legend is the reason for the Cheyenne custom of making an offering of food or Tobacco whenever a person crosses a body of water or stands beside the lake or ocean. From this ancestral tradition by the Cheyenne, other bands also adopted this ceremonial practice. This story was told by Cheyenne Elder Mary Little Bear Inkanish.
Two young Cheyenne hunters were traveling. Game was very scarce and the two men were very hungry. They came out onto the high prairie where the grass was bending to the wind and dancing about.

ITV's cavernous Studio One dwarfs the few figures taping a show. There aren't a dozen cameramen or technicians rushing about. There are two. And the host of Health Matters, Judi Halfe-Phillips.
Behind Halfe-Phillips and her Health Matters graphic are the darkened sets for ITV's news, weather and sports broadcasts. Later in the day, dozens of people will hurry around the set for the news broadcasts, but that is later. For now, Halfe-Phillips has the set almost entirely to herself.
"So, what sport's big this week?" she asks. "What sport will bump the show?"
