Page R1

Board members of the Ontario Metis and Aboriginal Association have voted to disband because of the organization's crippling financial situation.

A series of bad business deals, including the purchase of a city hotel, lead to the Oct. 2 vote, said Ron Swain, president of the association.

"They incurred enormous deficits over the last few years," said Swain. "It was

not feasible to continue. We are $4.5 million in debt. If we get fair market value for our holdings and real estate, we'd still be $2.6 million in the hole."

What ever happened to Billy Jack?

Four Sacred Stereotypes dominate film images of Indians

I don't know about other people but to me, political revelation is often inspired by the strangest places. It was another lonely Friday night, the kind I've been seeing much too regularly. And in those wee hours of the morning I found myself sitting on my couch in front of the television set, munching from a bowl of popcorn lightly seasoned with low-fat margarine, when an image I remembered from my childhood flashed across the screen.
