When he was growing up, Shawn Henry's grandparents would bring posters back from the Canadian Finals Rodeo. He'd put them on his walls and dream of one day actually seeing the CFR, maybe competing, maybe even winning. In 1995, he took another step through is dream, winning a performance and placing well up the list in the toughest saddle bronc competition in Canada. In the CFR at 28, Henry says that he's continuing to dream.

Although Miller uses a measure of commercialism, it is achieved without compromise or damage. References to indigenous struggles and culture, have been polished to the sharpness of an obsidian arrowhead.

Canadian Bible Society is Busy Again with Native Bible Translation.

After almost a century of relatively quite presses, the CBS is now working on New and Old Testament translation projects in 11 Native languages in Canada. Scripture selections are being produced in at least another five languages.

"This is the biggest effort at translation since the first contact was made by missionaries," said Bob Bryce, a Saskatoon- based translation consultant with the CBS.
