When George Mander and his wife, Ingrid, heard Saskatchewan's own Buffy Sainte-Marie in concert they decided then and there to name George's next rose after her.

When 15-year-old Clifford Moyah first moved into Lloydminster, Sask., after living most of his life on a reserve, he found that he was truly a stranger in a strange land.

Moyah soon adjusted, however, learning bits and pieces of English, but he still found it difficult to express himself or communicate in his new language.
