URGENT

Dear Friends and Relatives

Our friend, relative, and Spiritual teacher Ken Dennis has been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of esophageal cancer. The western doctors have told him that there is nothing more they can do to help him (treatment). Ken firmly believes in our ways – our medicines, ceremonies, and spiritual ways and is convinced this is what will help him. He has already undergone some ceremonies but needs to undergo more. He can gain the help of a medicine man, Keith Pache, from Manitoba.

I attended my first UBCIC meeting as Councillor for the Neskonlith Band. The meeting was held over two days in Vancouver at the Holiday Inn. The Chiefs in attendance covered a broad range of topics, from health to the mining industry.
