Life on the powwow trail can be fun - especially when your dad is a well- known arena director at some of the biggest powwows in Canada.

As a junior dancer, you also get to travel a lot in the summer, to see different towns and reserves and meet tons of other kids - kids just like yourself - out following the powwow trail with their moms, dads, brothers and sisters.

It's another dream come true for Chris Lafontaine of Regina. Lafontaine has been named to the Negros Slashers, a pro basketball team with the Metropolitan Basketball Association (MBA) in the Philippines. The opportunity to play pro ball came just as the accomplished 21-year-old was finishing a two-year commitment as a missionary in the Philippines.

Welcome to the year 2000. It's the new millennium and you are

reading the "critically acclaimed" Youth 2K column. I must

say, that in the past year, I have learned many things while

writing for Sage. For example, I've become a better critic.

I've also improved on my humor as well as my reporting, all

thanks to the people at AMMSA.

1999 was a great year, I finally got my magazine Gen-X off

the ground, and available to the world @ www.gx-online.com.

I was nosing around my wife's papers the other day. She'd left them on the kitchen table. She was reading a book manuscript about recovering identity as Native women. I read about the fact that, in many nations, it was the women who distributed the foods. When I questioned my wife, she was quick to point out that Iroquois women in fact "owned" the lands and worked the fields. This really got me to thinking.
