Subject: Termination of column

Greetings,

        It is a vibrant spring day here in Onyata:aka territory.  As things
strve for the sun, so do others melt and dissappear.  I received word last
week the Syarcuse newspapers will cease using my columns after 5 1/2 years.
While I am not satisfied with the rationale (the editor wanted more
diversity) given the urgency of the moment with regards to Iroquois issues,
there is not much I can to to reverse this decision.  For those who might
want to contact the editor, his name is Mike Connor and the number is
315-470-0011.  The e-mail for letters to the editor is: letters@syracuse.com
I will try for national syndication so I will hardly be censored or
qualified.  I will keep sending stories as I will continue as a columnist for
New From Indian Country.
Onen,
Doug-Kanentiio
