Dear Editor:

I am a 19-year-old student building an Indian summer camp for kids.

During my trip in western Canada (last October) I tried to find a good

journal or magazine about Canadain native people. I found many of them,

but none were good as yours.

I am also looking for an Ojibway-Algonquain dictionary. If you could

help me, it would be very much appreciated.

With very best regards,
