A new monument marks the location of a traditional Enoch burial site located within the City of Edmonton.

The burial site, located between 199 St. and the new Anthony Henday Dr., south of Whitemud Dr., has been used by the Enoch Cree Nation since the 1800s. Enoch First Nation's first leader, Chief Enoch Lapotac, is among the people buried there. Chief Leroy Andrea from the Northwest Territories visited Enoch early this month and said he had ancestors buried there too.

The new Aboriginal high school is finally here. The Amiskwaciy Academy, which focuses on core subjects, Native culture and Aboriginal languages had its first class Sept. 5. Students filed in and out of the office looking for their classrooms while adminstrators opened filing cabinets, answered phones and directed students.

The brown and red brick building at 105 St. and 103 Ave. is not hard to miss as two huge green and white banners spell out the school name.

Frances Weaselfat can count the number of transition homes run by Native people primarily for Native people on one hand.

"I'm only aware of three Native-run transition homes in Canada," she said.

One of those homes is located in Lethbridge. Weaselfat has been executive director for the Native Women's Transition Home Society for the past two years. The transition home, nestled in a residential area of the city, began operating in August 1994 amidst protests from its neighbors.
