Alwyn Morris, a Mohawk Indian from Quebec is in training for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. He will be training for most of this summer in his kayak throughout Canada and United States.

Alwyn won a gold medal in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics for the 1,00 meter two-man kayak event.

Millions of television viewers may recall the proud moment when Morris held up an eagle feather at the winner's podium.
