Don't feel bad, We still have the National Aboriginal Achievement awards. Maybe we can write in and have them put that in the program and see if we can get recognition for the Indians that have really made a difference in this country. I can think of Chief Joe Gosnell who stated eloquently for the Nisga'a people that he still sits and lobbies for "the people" and he has seen at least 6 different premiers sit across from him at the table. He said he was a young man when he became involved and he is now in the Fall of his life. Its comments like that make me proud to be Indian.
