Year in review-June, 2001

Page 6

In June, Sage took a look at concerns about the quality of drinking water in Saskatchewan, as well as at continued attempts by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) to get an increase in federal funding for First Nations post-secondary education.

We brought you pictures of children celebrating their heritage, both at the Thunderchild Interschool Memorial Powwow hosted by Thunderchild First Nation, and at the 10th annual Fine Arts Festival hosted by the Prince Albert Grand Council.

The June issue also included an article about the new Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (SIFC) campus building in Regina as construction began on the project, as well as an interview with Piapot Elder Art Kaiswatum, who received a Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal from the province.

We also brought you information on some of the events and activities being planned across the province to celebrate National Aboriginal Day.
