Page 3

The federal Human Rights Commission has agreed to investigate a claim made by Anita Hunt that the federal government discriminated against her as a prisoner both because she is a woman and a Native.

Hunt was sent from Edmonton to Kingston, Ont. last June to finish her sentence. She left behind two children, one four and one 11 years old, a mother who was near death from cancer and all her friends.

"Everybody and anybody that had been part of my life was in Edmonton," Hunt said.

Blood council facing contempt charges

Page 2

The Blood band council has been ordered to appear in Federal Court in September to answer contempt of court charges for a June 30 byelection held to replace Chief Harley Frank.

The byelection violated a Federal Court order upholding Frank's right to stay in office until at least Nov. 2.

Roy Fox, who served as chief for 12 years before being defeated by Frank in November 1992, was re-elected in the byelection. Some band members say only about 14 per cent of the band's 3,955 eligible voters cast ballots.
