Another Native actor has hit the big time. Dead Man, a "Cannes"film,

made it's Canadian debut in Toronto and actor Gary Farmer shines in his

latest co-starring role as a man called Nobody.

Farmer is a Cayuga from the Grand River territory situated in

southwestern Ontario and is best known for his role as Philbert Bruno in

the cult classic Pow Wow Highway. He has done a lot of work in theatre,

television, and film. However, this "off beat" western just might be a

break for Farmer.

All for one and one for all--- in Quebec?

To anybody following the ongoing political soap opera currently running

in Ottawa and Quebec, it almost seems that God indeed does have a sense

of humor, or at the very least a sense of irony.

I am, of course, referring to the sudden spate of threats concerning

the potential partition of a possibly independent Quebec into smaller,

culturally specific fiefdoms.

It's such a ludicrous change of events, a twisting of fate, that it can

only be properly explained by the use of exceedingly bad cliches, if you

'War baby' meets her family

Her adopted Dutch father, Rinze, loved her as his own.

And in May, Geery's husband, Henk, traveled with her halfway around the

world so she could discover more about her Metis relatives.

Dear Editor:

I am looking for assistance in my search to find my heritage. My

father told me I have Blackfeet blood in me, but I was not allowed to

learn about my father's side of our family as my mother forbid it. Now

I am an adult and I have promised my father I would do everything in my

power to learn his and ultimately, my history.

My grandfather left home when my father was small and I don't know

whether he is alive or dead. I have no idea where he was born, buy my

father was born in Miles City, Montana.
