Grey skies, pounding rain and muddy roads might have dampered spirits, but had little effect on the determination of the film production crew of Big Bear, currently shooting on the Pasqua Reserve.

Battling unpredictable elements that made the steep winding roads down into the Pasqua Valley almost impassible and a northeast wind that made filming conditions next to impossible, were challenges faced by actors, film crew and acclaimed director Gil Cardinal. The gang were determined to stay on schedule and under budget.

Leonard Peltier is a political prisoner who was wrongly extradited from Canada to the United States in 1976 and has spent the last 23 years imprisoned for a crime the United States government today openly admits it cannot prove he actually committed.

On June 26, 1975, two FBI agents were killed in a shoot-out on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. But the troubles had begun long before that day.

Six Aboriginal locations across the country have been added to Canada's 800 existing national historic sites.

On June 21, Andy Mitchell, the secretary of state for Canada's parks, announced the new designations. The sites, selected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, highlight the historic importance of the Métis, Gwich'in, West Coast, Huron and Ojibwa communities in shaping the country.

The June 21 announcement was made to coincide with National Aboriginal Day, said Parks Canada spokesperson Margot Doey-Vick.
