Dear Editor:

I am a 19-year-old student building an Indian summer camp for kids.

During my trip in western Canada (last October) I tried to find a good

journal or magazine about Canadain native people. I found many of them,

but none were good as yours.

I am also looking for an Ojibway-Algonquain dictionary. If you could

help me, it would be very much appreciated.

With very best regards,

Pat Levesque

Give North of 60 a break, reader says

Dear Editor:

Enjoy the paper--love the cartoons. I just have one comment. Don't

worry about the show, North of 60. I really don't think Melrose Place,

Friends, and As the Wold Turns reflect the mainstream. Although

Roseanne, Coronation Street and Oprah might.

Just remember, it's only television--not real life. Besides, I notice

a lot of Native people are employed in North of 60 and The Rez. I don't

see too many on Murphy Brown.

Keep up the good work and take care
