Little Red River Cree elder Jimmy Blesse has seen his homeland disappear at the hands of major logging firms for more than 30 years.

Now he's terrified a pulp mill company is eyeing Wood Buffalo National Park as a prime timber area for their operation. And it's the same pulp mill company his band is waging war against in court.

The years of resentment are coming to a head for the 300 members of the Garden River settlement located a few kilometers inside the boundaries of Canada's largest national park.

When Father George Mealy heard reports Edmonton's inner city Natives were living in Third World conditions, he didn't condemn the government for neglect.

Instead, the 63-year-old Anglican Catholic Priest decided he'd like to try to line up public support to battle poverty in Alberta' capital city.

Mealy, who has been sharing space at St. Peter's Lutheran church in the inner city since November, has some experience with the poverty-stricken population, but admits he needs to get more involved to be more effective.
