For the second time in 1995, and the second time in history, the National Aboriginal Coaching School was held in Hobbema from Oct. 16 to Oct. 20. While attendance at the fall event was down from the school held in the spring, it was still an encouraging effort, according to those in attendance.

"Attendance is just one measure of the success of a school, and not necessarily the most important one," said Dr. Fred Carnew of Maskwachees Cultural College in Hobbema. His comments were echoed by other speakers at the coaches' banquet.

It seems to be a great time for the release of Ojibway story books, including two by Basil Johnston, an Anishinaubae member of the Cape Croker First Nation in Ontario.

The Bear-Walker and Other Stories is a hard-cover book which brings to the printed page the spoken myths of the Ojibway. These stories have inspired beautiful illustrations by David Johnson, a member of the Anishinaubae of the Curve Lake First Nation. Bear-Walker is published by the Royal Ontario Museum and distributed by University of Toronto Press.

Wapistan, Lawrence Martin, describes his music as real Canadian. It's a blend of old country and rock with Native chanting, drums, and of course, language.

With such a mix, it's sometimes difficult to categorize. Where would you find Wapistan in a retail outlet?

"One time in Toronto, I found it under military," Wapistan said with a laugh in an interview with reporter Dooley Jones of radio station CFWE, The Native Perspective. "They must have thought I was some kind of militant."
