Hardened hunters know the best game is won by early risers with vision, quick wits, and a sharp read of the land. And savvy business leaders know that these are the keys to success in the '90s.

While Canadian business chants the mantra of free trade with the United States and Mexico, and chases the hot markets of the Pacific Rim, Latin America, the European community and Eastern Europe, there's a huge potential in our own Native land. Canada's First Nations are ready for business, and late entrants may be surprised when they open their eyes to the opportunities.

Some 400 marchers representing off-reserve Natives converged on the Progressive Conservative convention June 12 to hear leaders, Elders and young people rip into the Conservative government.

However, few, if any, of the Tory delegates took much notice of the demonstration. Some made unflattering gestures at the protesters; another imitated an Indian war cry. Most of the delegates were too busy trying to get food and beer at the Kim Campbell hospitality tent to listen as speakers called them fat cats and plantation owners.

Through four days of meetings, representatives of Native housing corporations worked out a plan to try and get funding for off-reserve housing reinstated.

Pat Apikan, chair of the National Aboriginal Housing Committee, told Windspeaker that nothing was going to stop the group from getting the federal government to stop the funding cuts.

In the last federal budget; funding for off-reserve housing was set to be eliminated on Jan. 1, 1994.
