The Star-Man and Other Tales

By Basil H. Johnston and Jonas George (Wah-sa-ghe-zik),

Illustrated by Ken Syrette (Nohdin)

64 pages, University of Toronto

$19.95 (h.c.)

Books like The Star-Man are small pieces of the giant mosaic that is Aboriginal culture. We may not understand the stories because they clash with the Western esthetics of plot, theme and character, but they give us a tantalizing glimpse into the Anishinabe world.

James Bay Cree Youth

Compilation Album

1996

Cree Nation Youth Council

If this compact disc is any indication, then the James Bay area is a hotbed of musical talent. The 10 artists featured on this 15-track disc are the David Cox Memorial Singers, Charles J. Hester, Miigwin, Blue Thunder, Thunder Nation, Francine Weistche, Chiistin, Miiyobin and Joshua Iserhoff. A nice surprise about this project is that some of the material recorded are original compositions.

In the early days, Greg Staats' family recorded their history in the oral tradition, in his grandfather's time it was reported in journals.

Now Staats uses the camera to tell the story of his people.

Staats, 36, a Mohawk, was born and raised in Sour Springs, which is little more than a cross roads on the Six Nation Reserve near Brantford, Ont.

Staats, who opened a solo exhibit of his work at the Tom Thompson Gallery in Owen Sound on Sept. 13, is gaining international acclaim for his re-creation of positive realities of First Nation people.

Are the people of Lynx River going to be put out to pasture?

Like the characters who live in the fictional setting of the North of 60 CBC television series, the show itself is facing some changes and upheavals.

After finishing filming the fifth and sixth seasons of the popular television series this past June, producers are not sure what will happen next.
