Homeowners in suburban Winnipeg and rural Manitoba have greeted plans for a Native seminary with howls of protest. Twice rebuffed by protest campaigns, the training center is still without a home. Director Stan McKay, 47, a United Church minister and a Cree Indian from the Fisher River Reserve in central Manitoba, is wondering how much easier the search might have been if his students had a different skin color. "There probably isn't a community in the province that won't have some qualms about us," he said. "The public image of aboriginal people is so negative."
