Dear Editor:

Enjoy the paper--love the cartoons. I just have one comment. Don't

worry about the show, North of 60. I really don't think Melrose Place,

Friends, and As the Wold Turns reflect the mainstream. Although

Roseanne, Coronation Street and Oprah might.

Just remember, it's only television--not real life. Besides, I notice

a lot of Native people are employed in North of 60 and The Rez. I don't

see too many on Murphy Brown.

Keep up the good work and take care

Dear Editior:

As a Cree Native who has been an "unwilling resident" of the Canadian

federal prison system for almost 20 years, I am writing this as a

reminder to the many troubled young people on the streets, struggling to

survive, who are taking a false direction from the deceptive comfort

offered by alcohol and drugs. The answer to their confusion and

misdirection is discovered internally.

Summer approaches and anyone who is a student of Native current affairs

can hear the rumblings beginning to sound. It is going to to another

long, intense summer in Indian Counry.

A phone call from a CBC news progam to Windspeaker this last month got

us shaking our heads. CBC often picks Windspeaker's collective brain

to short-cut actually researching the issues most affecting Canada'a

Aboriginal people.

Is there going to be more action at Ipperwash?" a representative of
