The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) is refusing to release an e-mail described as racist against Aboriginal people, despite calls from Native leaders to do so.

A June report in the Edmonton Journal said the e-mail contains a list of 10 rules for policing the downtown area. Three of the rules disparage the Native population.

Visiting the museum and art gallery at the Woodland Cultural Centre is like going on a journey through time.

Your journey begins at a prehistoric village of the Neutral people, the name given by 17th century explorers to the independent tribes of Iroquoian people who weren't involved in disputes between the Huron and Five Nations Iroquois. From there, you travel through the fur trade, then through to the establishment of the Six Nations Confederacy. The journey continues through the centuries, through the First and Second World Wars, up until present day.

RCMP accused of racial profiling on reserve

Page 16

Claiming to represent a citizen's group on the Stoney/Nakota reserve in southern Alberta, Greg Twoyoungmen has gone public with accusations of racial profiling by Cochrane RCMP.

Twoyoungmen said he was approached to join a group of Elders and others on the reserve that was discussing the persistent RCMP presence in the community.

After hearing about the group's concerns, Twoyoungmen wrote a letter of complaint to Myron Thompson, the Conservative member of Parliament for the area. Thompson took the letter to Cochrane RCMP and left the matter in their hands.
