At least that's what Tanya Cardinal believes. The 18-year-old looks forward to going to Honduras at the end of this year with Canada World Youth to learn about different cultures. And in the process, learn about herself.

"In a sense I kind of expect to find myself," said Cardinal about her up-coming trip. "I want to learn about and from other people and if I can do something with what I learned, it will help me find out what I want to do with my life."

Micmac communities of this island could soon be linked via radio and television stations.

Barry Bernard, an EsKasoni resident, wants broadcast news and entertainment in Micmac to Nova Scotia's seven reserves. He's heading a study to see if the proposal is economically feasible.
