A small group of visionaries in Calgary has started to collaborate on a new project - to design an Aboriginal music curriculum for schools.

The idea was first conceived two years ago between Elsie Wuttunee from the separate school board and Dr. Vivian Ayoungman from the University of Calgary. Representatives from the Native Education Department of the Calgary Catholic School District and Treaty 7 members completed the group.

"Music is an expression of feelings and a giver of life," explained Wuttunee.

Two years ago at the 1992 Arctic Winter Games, the Northwest Territories came third in the standings with 93 medals.

N.W.T. athletes racked up 26 gold medals, 33 silvers, and 34 bronzes, a total exceeding that of three other teams during the games held in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Scores of participants are hoping to surpass that total at the '94 Slave Lake, Alberta Games, and many have a good shot at the winners podium.
