Two of the men charged in connection with the sexual assault of a 12-year-old Cree girl will be getting their day in court-again.

Jeffrey Kindrat and Jeffery Brown were charged in 2001, accused of picking up the girl near Tisdale, providing her with alcohol and then sexually assaulting her.

A new trial for the two will take place in the Court of Queen's Bench beginning on Jan. 9, 2006.

Howard Anderson said he didn't know why he was asked to come.

Organizers of the royal visit to the First Nations University of Canada (FNUC) campus in Regina on May 17 had invited many Aboriginal military veterans to the campus as a sign of honour.

Instead, veterans such as Anderson and Tony Cote, said they felt more imposed on than honoured.

"Not a damn thing," Anderson, a former grand chief of the Saskatchewan First Nations Veterans Association (SFNVA), replied when a reporter asked him if the Queen's visit would draw more attention to their plight.
