Dear Editor:
I’m a Migmaw from Nova Scotia. We had National Aboriginal Day in Nova Scotia, and I know everybody did across the country, but a lot of the people I talked to said there was only one thing missing. We don’t have a national flag across the country. The Canadians have a national flag, the American’s have a flag and the Acadians have their national flag and Nova Scotia has the flag, but isn’t it about time the Native people of Canada had a national flag that we could fly year-round alongside of the Canadian flag and the American flag.
Also, everybody here in Eastern Canada is wondering about Dwight Dorey since he stepped down. Isn’t it about time Windspeaker got a hold of him and had an interview with him and try to really tell the people why he stepped down. Everybody is really disappointed down here that he has gone into hiding.
