Crown refuses to file sexual assault charges

Page

It's been almost 30 years, but Violet Quinney is just now able to talk about the sexual assault she suffered when she was a student at an Indian residential school in Saskatchewan. The alleged perpetrator was a teacher at the school, who would be convicted later of similar offences in British Columbia.

Even though the man has now completed his sentence, Quinney wants him brought to justice for the assaults she, and probably other students, suffered in the late sixties and early seventies. But that's not going to happen.

Alberta Senator and Sawridge First Nation Chief Walter Twinn was a large factor in the push to appeal Bill C-31. Since the senator's death on Oct. 30, many questions remain about the continued support of the wealthy northern Alberta First Nation regarding the controversial issue.

Interview requests to the Sawridge band have not been answered as it attempts to re-structure its administration after more than three decades under Twinn's leadership.

Aboriginal radio proposal loses out

By

An Ontario radio station owner tried to invest almost $2 million towards establishing a national Aboriginal radio network but he couldn't get a broadcasting license from the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission.

Doug Bingley, controlling shareholder of Barrie's Rock 95 FM, said he learned a lot about the frustrations that Aboriginal people encounter when they deal with the federal government after he attempted to obtain a space on the FM dial for a joint venture with Aboriginal Voices, an Aboriginal-owned quarterly magazine that is based in Toronto.
