Myrtle Thomas, one of the creators, was one of the few Natives to attend a Manitoba residential school during the Second World War. Thomas, who retained her language, can remember fellow students being strapped for speaking Ojibwa.

Danielle Wookward, 30, said she and two other students were asked by a store employee at the checkout how they intended to pay for $800 worth of groceries. She said she had enough money to pay the bill but was told to leave the store.

Charges will likely be laid if police find out who's responsible for a poster calling for an open season on Indians, says Manitoba Justice Minister Jim McCrae. New Democrat Elijah Harper, and Indian MLA, brought the matter to the attention of the house. "In place of big game animals, there will be open season on Indians," said Harper, reading from the copter. Thompson RCMP are investigating.
