He was one of a number of people occupying Ipperwash Provincial Park when Ontario Provincial Police opened fire on Native protesters Sept. 6. Two other people were injured in the attack.

The man that helped end the Gustafsen Lake standoff wants no publicity. In his opinion, publicity and power politics are what led to the protracted tensions between the police and the people in the Sundance camp.

"He doesn't want a big name for himself, or to be known," said spiritual healer John Stevens' daughter Philamine. "He is just here to help the people; to pray for them."

Both sides in the debate on Quebec separation are leaving out the First Nations and that's unacceptable, says a Cree leader.

"I'm quite alarmed about the fact that there is no Aboriginal presence in the debate," said Bill Namagoose, executive director of the Grand Council of the Crees.

"That's the challenge ? to get back in a player."

The Okimaw Ohci Healing Lodge made history Aug. 24 when it opened its doors, becoming the first facility specifically built for federally sentenced Aboriginal female offenders.

The month-long armed protest at a site near 100 Mile House, B.C. ended with little ceremony Sept. 17 when Native squatters left their encampment and walked into police custody.

The end of the 30-day occupation of land was engineered by spiritual healer John Stevens. The Stoney Indian from Morley, Alta. was asked to attend the protesters by spiritual leader of the camp, Percy Rosette.

Steven's guidance was required, said Rosette in a radio-telephone announcement from the camp. If Stevens came to the camp and told the group to leave the camp, they would do so.
