Also, many persons helped in implement- ing a junior hockey league on the Re- serve, thus providing an outlet for the younger people to display their talent. Jerry Dawson, Jim Gladstone and Ben Red Crow were the key people in the promotion of basketball on the Reserve last season. Basketball has since prov- en to be quite a drawing force in the field of sports. For the first time, curling was intro- duced to a large number of Reserve mem- bers, when Father Duhaime, Sergeant Stan Pettie and Phil Mistaken Chief organized and supervised a Bonspiel in the Cheese- man Memorial Arena. As a result we are confident of seeing many more curl- ers this season. Many organizations, clubs and groups sponsored dances, banquets and talent shows over the year, which were met with much better responses than was an- ticipated. This includes the Indian Day celebrations, and Sundance, which are yearly happenings. For our Rodeo enthusiasts, bull riding and bronc riding schools, were provided with Stan Wetherley and Bob Gottfriedson being the instructors respectively. Many of their students learned well as has since been proven in the numerous Rodeo arenas throughout the summer. Softball was thoroughly enjoyed by both men and women on the Reserve.
