This time, however, it may be for their very existence. The federal government is preparing to introduce legislation to the House of Commons in June that would make the First Nations' Chartered Land Act a reality. If passed, the act will make it possible for bands to manage their lands as they see fit. That authority includes "the power to grant any right or interest in chartered land." That means bands could rent out land, harvest some resources (not including oil and gas) and set up reserve -based industries without the permission of Indian Affairs. It also means bands could take out mortgages on properties as a way of financing other business ventures. In Canada's current stagnant economy, generating revenues by opening up reserves to more business opportunities or mortgaging lands might seem like a good idea. There are about seven bands across the country that think so. .45. The chiefs from Westbank, Musqueam, Siksika and four other First Nations are pushing for the legislation, mostly on the grounds that it will allow them to finance surveys, housing ventures, environ- a) mental assessments and other land -related projects faster and easier. At the moment, First Nations must ask for permission from Indian Affairs before they can proceed with any land -related ventures. And when persmission is received, many bands say that projects Christians leave painful legacy still take a long time because Indian Affairs drags its heels.

The Native Communications Program at Grant MacEwan Community College is proud and grateful when former students give something back to the program. For some, this means contributing their time to visit students in the classroom, for others it means donatingafilm developing tank or textbooks to students who need them. For Dorothy Schreiber, it means sharingher considerable media expertise and knowledge by serving on the Native Communication Program's Advisory Committee. Schreiber, a partner with Great Plains Productions of Edmonton, was born and raised in northern Ontario. After completing a year ofphotography at Fanshawe College in 1978, she decided to head west to look for work. Once in Alberta, her attention was caught by the possible media opportunities through the Native Communications Program (NCP). During her one-year course of study Schreiber developed a keen interest in radio broadcasting. After completing the program's core courses she began a three -month placement with the all-news station CKO Radio where she was convinced radio was her field Others were convinced as well. The Ojibway Metis became the associate producer with CBC Radio's "Our Native Land" after working as a reporter for 'Alberta Native Broad- casts. "As a stint as host/researcher for CKUA Radio's "Smoke Signals to Satellites "program rounded out her radio experience. While radio was her main interest, Schreiber continued to expand her other media talents. For three years she worked as a researcher for "Edmonton Newsday" with CBC television and has written for ACCESS magazine, "Windspeaker" and the now defunct "The Native People." During one of her research oriented positions, Schreiber had herfirst contact with film when she became involved in the making of 'Rise and Shine, "a film produced by Alberta Native Affairs. Today, as a partner in Great Plains Production, Schreiber is further expanding her knowledge ofthe film industry. This fledglingfilm production company, headed up by award winningfilmmaker Gil Cardinal, focuses primarily on aboriginal issues and content. Their Much acclaimed series "My Partners, My People" was nominated this year for a Gemini Award. Schreiber credits the Native Communications Program with helping her gain access to DOR THY SCHREIBER the media and to the aboriginal community in the West. Like many ofthe program's students, she felt her eyes were opened for the first time to a totally different perspective of life and spirituality through the Native culture classes taught by aboriginal spiritual elders and leaders. "The classes changed my perception of myself as a Native person, "Schreibersaid.

In March of 1991, the Mikasew Cree First Nation of Fort Chipewyan purchased shares of Contact Air from owner John Rodgers. Rodgers and the Cree band formed a partnership that has been thriving ever since. Fort Chipewyan is an iso- lated community of approxi- mately 1500 people. It is serv- iced by air, year -round with a winter road open only a few months. The Cree band saw that many dollars were being spent on air travel each year and de- sired to return some of that rev- enue to the community. Their partnership in the air service ensures just that. Contact Air transports freight, mail, groceries and cargo of all descriptions. They have a charter service, flight school and daily scheduled flights in and out of the community.
