NEWS FROM CHIEF AND COUNCILNEWS FROM CHIEF AND COUNCIL The past couple of weeks have been quite hectic for ourselves, as the new Council, we have attended many meetings. We would like to take this opportu-nity to give the members an update of the meeting we attended in June 17th, 18th and 19th, 2003. Councillors Gail Joly, Madeleine Paul and myself attended our quarterly Quebec Chief’s Meeting. The meeting was held in Quebec City and many issues were on the agenda including health, housing, eco-nomic development etc. The highlight of the meeting was the visit of the new Premier of Quebec, Mr. Jean Charest and the new Provincial Minister of Indian Affairs, Mr. Benoit Peltier. The Quebec Gov-ernment is prepared to work with First Nations to improve the social and economic conditions of our communities. A copy of the agreement is included with the newsletter. We believe there is a real op-portunity to work with the province and the federal government to address the real issues affecting us. As the file continues to develop, we will continue to keep you informed.

On July 2nd and 3rd, 2003 we attended a meeting of all the Algonquin communities in Ottawa. This was the first time that we have met together as a nation since 1991. We all agree that we must work together and that the settling of land claims and rebuilding our nation is a priority. We also agreed that we would continue to meet on a regular basis to con-tinue discussions that began in Ottawa. There are no simple solutions to the issues we face but by working collectively, we have a better chance of success. We will also keep everyone informed as to the development of future meetings and discussions.

I attended the Assembly of First Nations Annual As-sembly and Election for National Chief in Edmon-ton, Alberta on July 15th, 16th, and 17th 2003. This meeting was extremely interesting as the majority of the first day of meetings was spent discussing one very important issue, the health consent forms. Many communities and regions do not want the con-sent form and just recently the deadline to imple-ment the use of the form was extended from Septem-ber 1st, 2003 to March 1st, 2004. David our Health

Director, will continue to keep all community mem-bers informed about this important issue. The major event of the three day meeting was of course, the election for a National Chief. There were 566 out of 633 First Nation Chiefs present at this meeting. There was also 3500 observers in attendance. For those who did not see the live broadcast on APTN, we now have a new National Chief, Mr. Phil Fontaine. It was an interesting election as Mr. Fontaine defeated Matthew Cooncome and Roberta Jamison for the leadership of the AFN. Mr. Fontaine was National Chief from 1997 to 2000, and under his leadership, First Nations and the AFN were able to advance many issues and I firmly believe that he will have the same positive impact during his new mandate. Although he has a large amount of work ahead of him, I am convinced that he is the leader who can make a difference for First Nations people. I am looking forward to working with Chief Fontaine and the organization to move issues that our important to our region and in par-ticular to our community. Some of these issues in-clude programs, economic development, health and of course a process to bring an Algonquin land claim forward to benefit everyone.

In closing I am asking that all Band Members en-sure that we have your correct mailing address. If you move or are planning on moving in the future please contact the office to forward your new mail-ing address and phone number. This is to ensure that you receive all the information you are entitled to receive and in addition we require the informa-tion for a proposed referendum to adopt a new cus-tom code of election. If we are unable to contact you to transfer information, it is not that we have not attempted to reach you, it is your responsibility to ensure that we have accurate mailing addresses. If you know of any family members who are not reach-ing our newsletter or other mail outs, please have them contact the Band Office.

Thank you for your attention and I look forward to writing more newsletter articles in the future.

Health Canada is still in the process of analyzing the bulk of our health plan. Because of the summer holidays, this task seems to be taking a little more time than usual

In the meanwhile, we are working on policies and pro-cedures pertaining to all our programs and adminis-trative decisions.

There have not been any meetings held in the health sector this past July. A meeting with certain pro-gram managers from Health Canada may take place in early August in order to clarify some re-ports and inform them of our administrative orien-

Consent FormConsent FormConsent Form

We have received information via news release from the government of Canada stating that the dead-line for the Consent form has been pushed back to March 1st, 2004. Health Minister Anne McLellan and Assembly of First Nations National Chief Phil Fontaine brought forward this announcement and both agreed to work hard to reach a collective agreement. Therefore, you will not be obligated to sign any type of consent form in order to receive non-insured health benefits from Health Canada. Please do not hesitate to call me for any additional information you may require.

These pictures were taken during one of the weekly Arts & Crafts Sessions. As you can see the ladies are having a great time. These sessions not only provide them with an opportunity to get out of the house, but they get to so-cialize with old friends as well. At the beginning participa-tion was low because some felt that they would not be able to do the crafts, fortunately they came and realized that we work around certain physical limitations. I would like to encourage anyone else who would like to attend to just stop by on Tuesday mornings between 9:00 am and noon at the old daycare building, you can even just stop by to visit and have a cup of tea.

Thank You to everyone who donated baked goods for the Arts & Crafts Bake Sale, held on Thursday July 24th, 2003 at the community hall. The total amount that was raised was $247.00. This money will go towards future outings, activities and craft material. Your support was greatly ap-preciated.

We are hoping to plan a very special trip in the future and we need your participation ~ for info ~ Virginia 627-9060.

HAVE YOU EVER SUFFERED FROM HEARTBURN ? Heartburn is a digestive problem that actually has nothing to do with the heart. The name comes from the fact that sufferers experience a “burning” pain behind the breastbone.

Why does heartburn occur? Normally, food is swal-lowed and passed through the esophagus into the stom-ach, where a circular band of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus (the lower esophagus sphincter) closes and prevents food and stomach juices from re-entering the esophagus. If the sphincter relaxes abnormally or is weakened, stomach acid can wash back up into the esophagus, causing irritation - a process known as re-flux. The burning sensation that results from the irritation is heartburn.

Heartburn can be caused by:

• Hot and spicy foods • Coffee, soft drinks and other beverages with caffeine • Citrus foods and juices • Tomato products, such as salsa • Onions • Chocolate • Alcohol • Smoking • Stress • Eating on the run • Extra weight in the mid-section of the body, clothes

that are tight around the waist and straining (such as lifting).

• Hiatal hernia, a condition in which the stomach pokes through the diaphragm, preventing the sphincter from closing completely and allowing acid to travel more freely back into the esophagus.

• Pregnancy, nearly 50% of pregnant women complain of heartburn in the later stages.

If you are not sure what is causing your heartburn, keep a personal log. Jot down what you eat and drink, the time of day or night the bout of heartburn occurs and other factors that might cause heartburn, such as tight

clothing or stress. If you know what’s triggering your heartburn, you can avoid the triggers altogether. You will also be able to recognize the onset of heartburn and treat the problem more quickly.

Heartburn at night:

Heartburn often occurs at night because the food and acid can back up into the esophagus more easily when you are lying down. Also, a horizontal sleeping position places extra pressure on the stomach and esophagus.

Preventing heartburn:

If you want to minimize the effects of heartburn, there are simple lifestyle changes you can make. For instance you can:

• Slow down when you are eating. • Don’t lie down after meals. • Sleep on your left side, as right-sided sleep has been

shown to make heartburn worse. • Elevate the head of your bed. • Wear loose-fitting clothing. • Don’t smoke, or at least try to cut back.

Treatment of heartburn:

Most sufferers treat everyday heartburn with either an antacid or an acid reducer or both.

• An antacid works as at neutralizing the existing stom-ach acid. The biggest benefit of an antacid is that it goes to work fast. However, acid continues to be pro-duced, so you’ll probably find yourself re-dosing again and again.

• An acid reducer controls the production of acid for up to 12 hours. It can also be effective when taken in ad-vance to prevent heartburn altogether. Acid reducers however, can take longer to relieve the discomfort .

Heartburn can be a serious problem and should

be discussed with your doctor !!



Small Changes for Better Health Attaining and maintaining a healthy weight is definitely a good way to reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. But for some of us, losing weight can seem overwhelming. After all, it requires changing the way we eat, the amount we exercise, the way we think about food, and more. The key to success is making small changes one at a time. Set mini goals for yourself and after awhile, all the small changes may add up to big results.

The following are suggestions of small changes that you can start to make: Eating: • Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. • Eat half portions at restaurants; share the other half with someone or bring it home with you. • Cut back on butter, mayonnaise, sour cream, and salad dressing. Use a low-fat or fat-free product

when possible. • Limit fried foods to once or twice per week. • Use less or no sugar in your coffee or tea. Consider using a sugar substitute instead. • Cut down on luncheon meats, such as bologna, wieners, bacon or sausages, because they are high in

fat. • Use lean ground beef instead of regular. If not, at least drain off the fat from the hamburger after

cooking it. • Remove the skin from chicken. • Eat fresh, raw veggies instead of chips. • Try not to drink high-calorie beverages, such as pop. • Drink 1% or skim milk, instead of the fatter 2% or 3.25% milk. • Dip your fork in a side of salad dressing before each bite, instead of pouring it directly on your salad.

You’ll find that you are satisfied with much less than what you usually put on. • Never eat out of a bag or a box. Take out a measured/counted amount of food and put it in a bowl.

This way, you know exactly how much you’re having. • Always eat something for breakfast. • Read food labels and check serving sizes. • When you have guests for supper, give them some of the leftovers to take home with them. • Write down everything you eat and drink, without fail. This will give you a good indication where you

can cutback or make changes.

Exercising: • Take the stairs every single time they’re option. No more elevators or escalators. • Make physical activity a priority, not an inconvenience. • Park far from your destination, so you’re forced to walk – this works at the grocery store, the mall,

wherever. This will also help you waste less time looking for a parking space. • Consider tiring chores as a chance to get more physical activity. (e.g. shoveling snow, taking out the

garbage, cleaning the house, weeding the garden, grocery shopping, etc.) • Take the grocery cart back to the store when you’re done loading the bags in the car. • Work out with a friend.



Our parent and child summer program is going very well. This program is for all children 6 yrs of age and under that are accompanied by a parent or a guardian. The parents, grandparents and children are having a wonderful time. The next activity days will be Thursday August 14th and Thursday August 24th at the Eagle Village ball field from 1 pm - 3 pm. Hope to see you there! Here are some pictures of our activities ...

Christmas in July

Children and Dehydration Under normal conditions, we all lose some body water every day in our sweat, tears, urine, and stools. We usually replace this body fluid throughout the day from the water and salt content of what we normally eat and drink.

Sometimes, however, children lose abnormally large amounts of water and salts through fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or long periods of exercise. This is called dehydration.

In the most severe cases, they may not be able to replace this water simply by drinking or eating as usual. This is especially true if an illness prevents a child from taking fluids by mouth or if fluid losses are so great (as with severe diarrhea) that the child cannot keep up by simply drinking more often.

Recognizing Dehydration If your child is suffering from fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, or is exer-cising you should watch for the following signs of dehydration:

Mild to Moderate Dehydration • dry mouth • few or no tears when crying • fussy behavior in infants • fewer than six wet diapers per day in an infant (more than 4 to 6

hours without a wet diaper for an infant under 6 months of age) • no urination for 6 to 8 hours in children • soft spot on an infant's head looks flatter than usual, or sunken • despite dehydration, still has strong pulse and normal heart rate

(especially an older child)

Severe Dehydration • very dry mouth (looks "sticky" inside) • dry, wrinkled, or doughy skin (especially on the belly and upper

arms and legs • inactivity or decreased alertness • appears weak or limp • sunken eyes • sunken soft spot (for an infant) • excessive sleepiness or disorientation • muscle cramps • deep, rapid breathing • no urination for several hours (more than 6 to 8 hours in infants;

more than 8 to 10 hours in children) • fast or weakened pulse



Television can have a positive effect on your child’s social, emotional and mental development. Here are some ideas that may help him or her benefit from the right way of viewing television. These suggestions may also help protect your child from television’s negative influences.

• Make sure your child watches programs you are familiar with. Pay extra attention to ensure that your child does not watch programs that show violence, sex and offensive language. If available, use the rat-ing or channel lock setting on your receiver.

• As frequently as possible, try to watch television with your child. Do not use the television as a babysit-ter. Do not allow your young child to have a television in his or her bedroom.

• Discuss the teaching value of a program with your child, such as the importance of sharing, giving, lov-ing, or doing the alphabet together. Programs like Sesame Street are very useful in helping your child’s development. Use follow-up activities and games that further develop material presented on the pro-grams.

• Be careful with the example you set as a parent. Children learn many of their values and ideas from their parents. Also, be sure to explain the rules of television watching in your home to caregivers such as babysitters and grandparents.

• Limit daily television watching to 1 hour or less for preschoolers and 2 hours or less for early school-aged children. Use the other time available to teach skills such as reading and writing. Teaching takes time, but in the end it is worth it!

• Older children should be given the opportunity to plan their weekly viewing schedule in advance, but parents should still supervise their choices. Praise your children for making good choices, and encour-age him or her to discuss what he or she sees on television.

• Help your child understand the differences between fantasy, make-believe and reality. Discuss and ex-plain why he or she cannot watch certain programs. Use this as an opportunity to raise a child who is aware of the values you feel are important.

• Set a bedtime for your child that does not change according to the television schedule. If your child is interested in a program that airs past his or her bedtime, consider re-cording it.

• Television is a powerful tool for selling or promoting toys and products. Discuss commercials with your child. Help him or her identify high-pressure selling techniques and exaggerated claims.

• Turn off the television during meals. Turn off the televi-sion when visitors arrive and during study time. Do not use the television as background sound.

• Make a rule that homework and chores must be finished before your child can watch television.

No Cow’s Milk During Baby’s First YearNo Cow’s Milk During Baby’s First YearNo Cow’s Milk During Baby’s First Year Until a baby is at least nine months old, a mother’s breast milk or infant formula should be his or her main source of food. Cow’s milk is fine for older children, but it cannot satisfy a growing baby’s needs. Homogenized cow’s milk containing 3.25% milk fat or less is not suitable for young infants. The nutrients the milk contains are perfectly adapted to a calf’s needs but not to those of a human baby. The infant nutrition ex-perts warn parents that: Cow’s milk has too much protein. • Cow’s milk has about 3 times the protein of breast

milk or infant formula. The type of protein in cow’s milk forms tough, hard-to-digest curds in the baby’s stomach. Cow’s milk protein has been linked to intestinal blood loss and allergies in infants.

• Not only does milk have too much protein, but it also lacks certain important human types needed by infants.

Cow’s milk has too little vitamins and minerals. • It is lacking in vitamins A, B1, B6, C, D and E and

in minerals such as copper, manganese and iron. • Not only is the level of iron low in cow’s milk, but

also the iron is poorly absorbed. Feeding cow’s milk to babies can lead to iron deficiency – one of the most common health problems in infants today.

Cow’s milk has too much sodium. • Cow’s milk has three to four times the sodium of

infant formula or breast milk. Cow’s milk is lacking in sugars and fats. • The type of fat in a cow’s milk is poorly absorbed

by babies • It is low in linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid),

needed for the development of the nervous system and the brain.
