Page 7

The Senate of the Metis Nation of Alberta has ordered a temporary decree suspending the voting privileges of people not holding a specially registered membership card.

The decree comes in the wake of rumors that some candidates were planning to use unregistered Metis Nation of Alberta cards to garner support from non-Metis during the Sept. 7 election.

"We want to make sure that only Metis will be allowed to vote and determine who will represent them," Senate co-chair Thelma Chalifoux said in a prepared statement.

There's an international battle going on right now that could decide the future of generations of Canadian Natives. And it's all about a single letter.

An 's' at the end of the term 'Indigenous people' could conceivably change the course of history for Aboriginals world-wide. It would give Natives across Canada more ammunition in their legal war over self-government with Ottawa at the very least.
