Linda Kennard has had some artistic inspiration since her teens. She grew up in northwestern Ontario, where she was surrounded by nature. Her large family was supportive of her painting. She attended art courses at the Quetico Arts Training Centre in Ontario but, before she could put her skill in use, she became a wife and a mother. For years, she put her painting aside and focused on her family, while building successful timber contracting business.

Dear Editor:

It is with disappointment that I write this letter. I have gone over, in my mind, Gary Farmer's demeanor throughout his presentation "Savage: Images of Native Americans in Film" in Calgary and still find myself with the same overall impression.

On the one hand, I with Farmer that Native American misrepresentation in the mainstream media must be addressed. It is a very important issue that needs to be brought to light. At the same time, however, I found myself questioning his style.

It's not all cutbacks and bad news when it comes to local hospitals.

In February, the local Aboriginal Health Council was pleased that their newly approved Aboriginal Hospital Representative Program received generous transfusion of government funding.

The Calgary Regional Health Authority and Alberta Health's Aboriginal Health Strategy Project will each contribute $150, 000 over the next three years.

"That's why we are so optimistic," said Richard Folster, chairman of the Aboriginal Health Council.
