Dear David:

I see Elise Stolte of the Edmonton Journal had a great time at a Powwow last weekend. She emphasizes what a healthy & spirited competition it is. This healthy attitude can only serve as a dose of positivity IV aboriginal students II carry on with this great tradition.

As my family has an acreage just a few clicks west of the Enoch Cree Nation Reserve we stay out there & have also attended the Enoch Powwow several times & strongly encourage non aboriginals II do so. They can then learn what a great custom this is and about aboriginal customs/traditions.

Bannock Tastes Great,

Rory
