UNIFORM PRIDE holds a graduating class of women eyes-front at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Training Academy (right) in Regina. Often the only law officers for vast areas, Mounties meet the whole gamut of Canadians. When metis-citizens of mixed Indian and white heritage denied the status of "treaty Indians"-blockaded a national park before a meeting of all provincial premiers there, RCMP officers negotiated at the roadblocks (below). The park was opened, and Sas katchewan's premier, Allan E. Blakeney, met with metis leaders to discuss their problems. Protesting in a way still honored by Doukhobor extrem ists today, sect members disrobed (bottom) near Yorkton in 1903 when police stopped their marching demonstra tion for the right to own lands communally.
