An open letter to Jane Stewart, minister of Indian affairs:

Not one moment of my day goes by that I don't think of my past. Every day I sit and wonder about how people were unjustly done, and who did it to them, such as the Dionne sisters. I'm very happy for you ladies (bless your dear souls). Like the Dionne's and the Japanese and the Chinese, all were compensated, but we, as Natives, are once again considered incompetent to handle our own destiny.

Recently, I saw a popular film wherein a white man asked a person of color (never mind which one), "Have I oppressed you?" By way of an answer, I saw another film where a bushman, upon seeing destruction caused by whites, stated simply " The evil ones have been here." That is the nature of oppression, politics and violence, three words that today are almost synonymous.

The evil ones are here, white from some nation in Europe, (never mind which one), and there isn't anything our people can do about it. Is there?

There are at least two stories in this month's issue about an apparent discrepancy between what politicians say when the cameras are rolling and what their deputies do or say behind closed doors.

Manitoba's Opaskwayak Cree Nation is getting tough with a new drug awareness program. Community members and band leaders are going beyond the common "Just Say No" campaign and telling drug users to 'Just Get Out.'

Getting caught with drugs once nets a warning and a lot of community support to get cleaned-up. Getting caught again could result in being tossed off the reserve, said Chief William G. Lathlin.
