For the better part of three days John Dorian was a forgotten man in the final four of the golf championship flight.

Dorian, 39, of Prince Albert quietly used his putter and a bag full of patience to win the Canadian National Indian Golf Championship held at Jackfish Lodge, July 11.

Two strokes behind co-leaders Allan Assance of Vancouver and Guy Lonechild of White Bear Reserve heading into the last day of the 54-hole event, Dorian watched as both leaders self-destructed in the final 18 holes.

Tony Mercredi, chief of the Athabasca Chipewyan band in northeastern Alberta, said he has talked to Indigenous representatives from South America and decided Canadian Natives are "comparably better off."

"Some of them didn't even have that so-called treaty," he said.

American Indian Leonard Peltier is a prisoner of the State, the Non-Governmental Organization Forum of the United Nations' World Conference on Human Rights was told.

"There has been 500 years of oppression," said Ben Carnes, national spokesman for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee. "Peltier is one man, representing many people. The next 500 years, we will go on the offensive. We must regain our sovereignty."

American natives need to have a voice in the United Nations to celebrate the year, Carnes said, but he could not say what that voice should be.
