On March 31, the National Film Board cancelled funding for its

Aboriginal film making body, Studio One.

Studio One was headquartered in Edmonton, and had been set up to enable

Aboriginal film makers to tell their own stories. It helped train film

makers and funded the production of some films.

Gravdon McRae, Executive Producer for the film board's North West

Centre, explained that the program was cancelled as part of a rethinking

of how the National Film Board could best serve Aboriginal film makers.

Peyote

by Raindance Sunshine Records

Including the pre-production phase, it was two years in the making, but

Peyote, Raindance's debut album of 11 original songs, has finally hit

the stands.

Raindance is a four-piece-group from (presumably, although it's not

totally clear) Georgina Island, Ont. and their line-up is Mardy Lucier

Porte (guitar/traditional flute/harmonica/percussion/vocals), Nick

Chiarore (drums/vocals), Dove (bass/vocals), and Adam Songchow (lead

vocals).

Michael Horse freely admits he is not very calculating about pursuing

an acting career but looking at this list of film and television

credits, one would think the complete opposite. His career, which he

refers to as "an experiment bizarre booking", has seen the 46-year-old

actor playing a diversity of roles ranging from Tonto to the sultry

deputy sheriff in Twin Peaks. More recently, audiences have come to

know him as the complex psychologist on North of 60.

In his ninth and last Canadian Human Rights Commission report, Max

Yalden has found that Canada is progressively moving forward in almost

all areas except gay/lesbian rights and, of course, Native rights

(though it certainly makes one concerned about the status of Native

gays and lesbians). In fact, he goes out of his way to say that little

has changed for Canada's Native people since he took over his position

nine years ago.
