I VOL. VIII No. 6 KAINAI NEWS, BOX 58, STANDOFF, ALBERTA, CANADA JULY 22, 1974 Lt.-Gov. Opens Stampede Two New Native Groups In Indian Village Saskatchewan

Two new organizations for native people, the United Association of Saskatchewan Natives and the Provincial Association of Non Status Indians, have been recently established- in the province and are conducting membership drives. The United Association is "geared to serve Metis and non status Indians who no longer want to belong- to the Metis Society," said Mary Thompson, associa- tion secretary, in an interview. "Many of us were dissatisfied with the Metis Society because it wouldn't recognize another local of the society that we had set up last year. There was too much fighting within the society and we hope the new association be more in agreement." She said the association's objectives include improving native living conditions and education, fostering appreciation of native cultures and giving decision mak- ing power to people at the local level.- The association has circulated a policy platform on the annual Back to Batoche Cultural Festival, calling for diversified participation in the event. The Association of Non Status Indians voted at a meeting Tuesday- to restrict membership to non-treaty Indians. It also hopes to estblish a province-wide network fo local organizations.

Although there was a downpour of rain for awhile, the weather cleared and traditional Indian dancing and words of praise were said by family and friends about the couple. Pete Standing Alone, second eldest son of the couple, said the Sundance, a yearly gathering of the Blood Indians religious society, was an ideal location because both had been involved in the Sundance for a long time.

Approximately $1000 worth of merchandise was given away by the family to visitors and friends during the dance.
