In a perfect world, Annette L. Brown would be out of a job.

Every pet would have a good home and every domestic animal well looked after.

As the new peace officer for the Lloydminster SPCA, Brown knows first hand about the real life neglect that some animals can suffer at their owners' hands.

"There are good days and bad days in this line of work," said Brown.

The best way to improve the dismal Aboriginal employment numbers in Saskatchewan is to go where the jobs are. That's the message the provincial government and the University of Saskatchewan are sending to young Aboriginal people - and those responsible for educating or training them.

Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) has officially launched a new campaign aimed at increasing seat belt use among First Nations communities in northern Saskatchewan.

The campaign poster unveiled Sept. 21 at the Buffalo Narrows Friendship Centre features Gloria Desjarlais, a Metis Elder from Buffalo Narrows who credits a seat belt with saving her life when she was involved in a serious car crash. The poster tells Desjarlais' story, showing that real people avoid injury or death every day because they use their seat belts.

The modern jingle dress is a recent arrival on the powwow scene. Several tribes take credit for its origin, the vision of a medicine man, according to legend.

He was instructed to create a dress covered with hundreds of rows of jingles made from the folded lids of snuff cans. When danced into the powwow arbor by his granddaughter, the jingles created a mystical sound, calling on the spirits to heal the sick. Now called a healing or singing dress, the clinking of the silver jingles sounds like rain falling on a tin roof.
