Quillworking: traditional artform is being resurrected

Page

Porcupines leave their stories on the trees. They are our little four-legged brothers from the forest who have long been part of the sacred legends and lives of the people of the Plains and Woodland tribes.

Since prehistoric times, Aboriginal people have benefited from the porcupine, learning to weave intricate stories and designs, both personal and magic, with quills, sinew and natural dyes.

Why not try surfin' the web?

One way I like to relax and relieve stress is when I'm on the internet, or as most people would call it . . . the worldwide web. The number of teenagers who surf the web on a daily basis is amazing. You could be on a 'Teen Chat' website and be talking to other teenagers from around the world. The internet also has its many surprises - you could be chattin' with another teen, who you think is 14 years old from New Mexico, when in fact he's an old man who's alone at 78 and living in a trailer park in Arizona. Trust me, you don't want to download his pictorials.

Casino to become an Indian reserve

Page

A deal that will see an Indian-run casino operate on an urban reserve is getting the green light from the city's top politician.

The Painted Hand Casino which operates in downtown Yorkton will be the second reserve-based casino but the first to operate in an urban municipality. The Bear Claw Casino on the White Bear Indian Reserve near Carlyle was the first Indian casino in the province.

The federal department of Indian and Northern Affairs has confirmed that a deal could be approved as soon as the middle of May.
