In 1977 Lucien and William Meek packed their belongings and began the long trip west, from their Ojibwa home on Tenagami reserve in Ontario.

Most of Lucien's family had migrated to the Edmonton area from the east in the 60s so the move wasn't that hard on her and their family of five children, she says.

Today, she's the director of the Native Pastoral Centre in Edmonton, a job she loves because religion has always been an important part of her life.

Carol Adams has risen to the top quickly in her short 26 years.

It's a dream come true.

And Adams is enjoying the ride.

But she has paid her dues.

She's made the most progress in the last year jumping to the top, thanks to CBC's 24-hour a day television news channel seen coast to coast in Canada.

It's "quite an accomplishment," Adams freely offers.

The heart beat of the drums tell a story southern Albertans are beginning to listen to more closely, says the co-ordinator of Calgary's Native Awareness Week.

Robert Laboucane says the cultural gap is shrinking and this year the Native awareness week society is focusing attention on children.

Cultural appreciation starts at a young age, Laboucane says, so there's no better way to remote equality than to begin at the beginning - with children.

The second annual city-wide event from May 12-19 will have as its theme Youth and Education.
