There's a new set of videotapes on the market created to get people off their couches and involved in a more active, healthier lifestyle as a way to control or prevent diabetes.

But what makes these tapes different from all other exercise videos already out there is that they were made by Native people for Native people and are being given away, free of charge.

Eric Schweig doesn't see acting as his career. It's a hobby to him, something he does for fun.

Most recently Schweig was having his fun alongside Tommy Lee Jones and Cate Blanchett in director Ron Howard's new western, The Missing. Nice hobby.

MUSIC BIZ 101

Music videos can have a positive effect on CD sales. More and more, it is expected that a music video will accompany a CD release to add to the artist's visibility and exposure in the market place.

Much Music Television was launched in the early 1980s and became another avenue to expose an artist's image and talent. In this sense, the music video must be an extension of the CD concept and the marketing campaign.

THE URBANE INDIAN

Students at the University of Alberta noticed that Native society was in need of a new social organization, one that administers to the needs and wants of some of its wounded student body-Native men in pain.

The name of this new group is called S.A.W.-Survivors of Aboriginal Women-a much-needed support group with thousands of potential members.

In photographs from long ago, Inuit appear as red-cheeked, fit and healthy-looking people. Inuit then were physically vigorous and always looked the part. In traditional times, the Arctic environment was a holistic, natural gymnasium, and every aspect of life was, of necessity, a physical workout. The staple foods derived from Arctic wildlife, abundant in nutritious vitamins, were complementary to a thoroughly active life.

PRO BONO

Dear Tuma:

The father of my child is contesting paternity despite having done two DNA tests, which concluded that he is 99.97 per cent likely the father. The maintenance he pays is $220 per month and this is only for the school year. There is no court order in place. He is very wealthy and recently retired. I cannot afford a lawyer and do not qualify for legal aid. My son is 17 and is in Grade 12. What can I do?

Tired of paying all the bills
