Columnist Denis Okanee Angus' column will not appear this month. Denis and his family, along with the friends and fellow veterans from First Nations across the province, are mourning the death of his father Donald Alexander Angus, who passed away at age 78 on Oct. 27.

A Second World War veteran who survived the horrors of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, which was the beginning of the end of Adolph Hitler's hopes of world domination, Mr. Angus returned to Canada only to experience the sad and unforgivable insults dealt to Native war veterans. His story appears in this issue on page 7.

Sage was saddened to learn of the loss of this true freedom fighter and we thank Donald Angus for his invaluable contribution to his people and to Canada.
