Metis hunter will fight for his rights

A Metis hunter is determined to appear in court next month to demand the rest of his moose after being charged by Fish and Wildlife officers for an untagged animal.

Edward Cardinal from Calling Lake says he was issued a ticket for the alleged offence and three-quarters of the moose was confiscated by the officers, leaving him with the last quarter. This hind-quarter still resides in his deep freeze.

The long-time fighter for rights, and present coordinator of the Advisory Council of Treaty Women, believes "it is time for the younger women to get involved and to continue from the older women. The older women have been involved for a long time and they can teach our young women how to fight for their rights."

As I sat waiting for Tantoo Cardinal, an award-winning Metis actress from Anzac, to begin her lecture on "Breaking into the Business" at the World Aboriginal Film Festival workshop, I anticipated what she'd talk about.

Two child welfare conferences were held in Calgary last week. One an international Aboriginal peoples' conference which saw people from all over the world attend, and the other a Metis conference.

During these conferences the issue of child care and love for our children, especially the Aboriginal child who is so often more at risk than his or her white peers, was discussed, dissected, analysed, and examined in detail.
