9月30日 Native leaders band together to broker direct investment deals with ChinaJOE FRIESENSeptember 29, 2008 When a group of more than 100 Canadian native leaders arrives in China six weeks from now, they will carry a message that is both historic and disarmingly straightforward: China has vast wealth to invest, and Canada's native communities, with their access to timber, coal and minerals, want to do business. The China-Canada Aboriginal Business Opportunity will be the largest international native business initiative ever undertaken, according to Calvin Helin, a native lawyer and businessman organizing the trip. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080929.NATIVES29/TPStory/National
Native leaders demand campaign attentionBILL CURRYGlobe and Mail Update September 28, 2008 at 9:43 AM EDT OTTAWA — In full native headdress on the floor of the House of Commons, Assembly of First Nations National Chief Phil Fontaine had a historic seat last June to hear the Prime Minister's apology for Canada's Indian Residential Schools. He also heard the three other party leaders make impassioned pledges to right the wrongs of the past. Now, in the midst of a federal election campaign, Mr. Fontaine is wondering where all those words went. “The current campaign [has] what seems to be a serious absence of any discussion on aboriginal issues,” said Mr. Fontaine in an interview at his Ottawa office.

Catherine Rolfsen, Vancouver Sun Published: Monday, September 22, 2008
Moses Stewart always knew he was a good cook. His favourite dish to make is chow mein; he once cooked a Chinese feast for 800 people in his hometown of Greenville, a Nisga'a village in northwest B.C.
But it took the better part of his life to get his skill recognized in writing.
Stewart, 55, emerges from the kitchen of the Kla-how-eya Aboriginal Centre - where he's been helping clean up today's chow mein lunch - and proudly holds up the name tag that hangs around his neck.
Moses Stewart, it reads. Second cook.
"So that's who I am. I'm the second cook in the kitchen," he says. "I love my job."
Stewart is one of Kla-how-eya's success stories. The Surrey community centre is host to a remarkable culinary arts program, which he attended before being offered a full-time job in its kitchen and catering division.
