Tansi and Hello! My name is Helen Young, Health Educator at Cree Nation Tribal Health Centre in The Pas, Manitoba. I am also a member of the Regional AIDS Steering Committee.

The issue of HIV/AIDS in First Nations across the province of Manitoba and in other provinces has now become an important issue which cannot longer be denied or ignored. Remember when it was thought that the disease only affected the white population, mainly the gay society? Times have changed and the reality today is that anyone can become infected or be affected by the disease.

Can you imagine having a library of more than 3,000 books for all ages in your own home?

Or can you imagine having a teacher or instructor from Grade 1 to college in your own home? Well, this is a reality of today's home computer.

If a buffalo head staring out from a plaque on a wall doesn't grab your attention, the smell of sweetgrass makes you realize Beaded Dreams is no ordinary store. In fact it's the only Native-owned store of its kind in Ottawa.

The store features Native arts and crafts ranging from bone chokers to medicine wheels, herbs, ceremonial and healing items, and gifts and souvenirs from across Canada. And, as owner Niki Wabanonik stresses, everything in the store is Native-made - there is nothing mass-produced in Taiwan.

Prime Talk walks the Red Road. This is what CBS is planning with the much talked-about documentary 500 Nations.

Tentatively scheduled to air in April of 1995, it will run for eight hours in total - four nights, two hours per night. The on-air host will be Kevin Costner, guaranteeing an enormous audience draw. As well as hosting the series, Costner's commitment to the project extends to financing the entire cost.
