Adopted Aboriginal

Angela Latta is looking for a place where she belongs.

Like thousands of aboriginal children, she was adopted as an infant and grew up in a white household. In 1988, she decided she wanted to know more about her people and her Indian culture, so she applied to Ottawa for information on becoming a registered Indian under the Indian Act. In 1989, she applied for status.

"Maybe because it's a sense of belonging somewhere," she said of her pursuit for status. "It's not necessarily the money part - it's the belonging part."

TV solves mystery

Page 12

It was quite a week for Sandra Henry.

After 20 years of looking for family members she was separated from at the age of nine, her search became international news as NBC TV's Unsolved Mysteries told her story. Local media in Winnipeg followed up and within a few days Henry had located

and spoken to her two missing brothers, one in Calgary, Alta, and one in Oshawa, Ont.

"It feels really good. I just can't explain the feelings that I have, just to know where they are, just to know that they're safe and to tell them they weren't forgotten," said Henry.

Roseau chooses new chief

Page 10

The Roseau River Band in southeastern Manitoba has a new chief.

Felix Antoine won the March 16 election with 114 votes, beating out former chief Lawrence Henry.

Henry, who had been on council for more than a decade, garnered 108 votes. Vice-chief John James received 52 and band member Mary Chaskey earned 18.

The race was not, however, as close as the numbers suggest because the 70 votes won by the other candidates could easily have gone to Lawrence, Chief Antoine said.
