EDMONTON-Aboriginal women who have a story to tell about rising above or overcoming some obstacle in life now have an opportunity to see their words in print. The Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women (IAAW) is collecting first-person accounts written by Aboriginal women, which they plan to publish at the end of the year. The idea sprung from the Esquao Awards, where a lot of ideas were generated about giving Aboriginal women a voice.

It has been a long drought for the national Indian rodeo scene in Alberta. In fact, 20 years have lapsed since Hobbema, long considered the rodeo capital in Indian Country, played host to any major Indian rodeo. Back then, it was the Indian Rodeo Cowboys Association that was going strong.
Nonetheless, the long dry spell of some 20 years came to a conclusion following the Nov. 18 to 21 Canadian Indian Finals Rodeo at Hobbema's Panee Memorial Agri-plex.

On Dec. 10, amidst Christmas decorations, including a huge Christmas tree, singer Rita Coolidge strode onto the Arden Theatre stage in St. Albert dressed in a red crushed velvet pantsuit and white turtleneck.
Coolidge, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, made more than a dozen albums, one of which, titled Anytime...Anywhere, produced Top 10 hits such as 'The way you do the things you do,' 'Higher and Higher' and 'We're all alone.'

While thousands of Albertans hunkered down in the shelter of their homes waiting to see whether the New Year would unleash the fury of the dreaded Y2K bug, Edmonton's Aboriginal people were dancing the night away.
For the first time in its 12-year history, Edmonton's First Night Festival included an Aboriginal component. Billed as the World Beat Powwow, First Nations and Metis people took over city hall on New Year's Eve, and what a reception they received from the thousands of spectators that packed the civic centre.
