This cage that holds us knows of no age or race. That is why both young and old are kept here. That is why Natives, whites and blacks are brought together here.

Despite the difference of our skin colors, we all become one, criminals. We all learn to live together because justice has brought us together in this lonely kingdom.

A gathering of nations on the wrong terms. We all speak of partying and crime. We all do our time. At times, we all shake it rough. Everyone tries to be solid, no matter what race they are.

Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing Louise Halfe's Bear Bones & Feathers. No doubt, this book of poetry will provocatively compel "all the relations" but specifically, I know that it will encourage wonderful memories for our Cree "relations."

Halfe, unlike other First Nations poets, writes in both Cree and English. This particular book of poetry is spiced with words like paskwaw-mostos, Nohkom, ayisiniew, kiskiman, asam, Nimosom, Wisahkecahk, micakisis, nicimos, and therefore exudes an unmistakably Cree flavor.

Cree AIDS victim and activist Leonard Johnston died of AIDS on May 18. Johnston was instrumental in setting up support groups and grieving circles for people with AIDS and their families in Vancouver, making personal visits to the hospital for those who were alone in the city.
