By Trevor Greyeyes
During the first break at the Peguis First Nation (PFN) Community Urban Band Meeting of June 17 held at the Wyndham Hotel on Madison, a fiery man who had interrupted the meeting at the opening allegedly hit PFN William Spence, Lands manager at Peguis First Nation.
Now, I was seated at the front when this incident occurred.
By the time I made my way to the table, several people were holding back Spence who said that he took great offence to being sucker punched.
I didn’t see the guy in question.

Dene Petti, It's about building confidence
- Details
By Trevor Greyeyes
I saw a fabulous show at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People, located at The Forks in Winnipeg, where I saw the Native Youth Theatre Cabaret and met one of the teaching assistants (TA) Dene Petti.
Now, this is the best part of what I do is meeting interesting people like Petti who is like me a registered band member with Peguis First Nation.
Petti had been a participant as a young 11-year-old student.
After spending five years in BC pursuing her education, she moved back to Winnipeg last year.
“When I first started the program,” said Petti. “I could barely look at people. It helped me to be more confident like here I am doing an interview with you.”
