Brother is Okanagan and proud of that fact

Dear Editor:

I am writing in regards to an article in your Dec. 1998 paper, "Aboriginal cowboys prove tough in rodeo finals."

This is the second article written in December that made the mistake of calling my brother Ben Louis a Shuswap Native!

He is very much Okanagan and proud of it. Our family is very proud of our Okanagan culture and we would greatly appreciate it very much if you could correct this mistake in the next issue.

We are grateful that you have taken the time to write the article and recognize him as a talented Aboriginal athlete but his ancestry is a big part of that.

Thank you.

Samantha R. Louis
