Over the years, Regina resident Charles Pratt has learned a lot about organizing the nationally-renowned annual Saskatchewan Indian Federated College Powwow. He's also learned that the continued success of the event requires a year-round planning effort - something dedicated organizers have contributed each year since the SIFC powwow was born back in 1978.

"We start looking forward to this event about a year before it happens," said Pratt, event chairman for the past six years.

Alberta boxing fans and promoters are in their glory as the fights return after a somewhat dismal and quiet winter.

An amateur card at the Canadian Native Friendship Centre on March 11 featured a long, drawn-out 15-bout card that hit the midnight hour before it was concluded.

Jointly sponsored by the Hortie and Cougar boxing clubs of Edmonton, the 1998 Diamond Belt Championships drew a full house to watch the best fighters that Alberta and Saskatchewan have to offer, many of whom are from prairie Aboriginal communities.

Fifteen years old! It seems like just yesterday that we were submitting our proposal to establish the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society (AMMSA) and its fledgling newspaper - later to be namedWindspeaker.

AMMSA was fortunate to have a board of directors and management team that had the foresight to plan for the future and begin a journey towards self sufficiency and financial independence. We were half way there when we received word that all funding for Aboriginal newspapers would end and that we had seven weeks to become self sufficient.
