www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday March 16, 2007 - 21 CFUW event promises to `offend' everyone On March 19 the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) ­ Oakville will host an event dubbed Something to Offend Everyone. The CFUW-Oakville will host Duke Redbird, The Penniless Philanthropist. Redbird had been scheduled to speak in January, and was re-scheduled due to a snow storm. Gary James Richardson - now Duke Redbird - a painter, poet, actor, political activist and filmmaker, was born on the Saugeen Reserve on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, of mixed Ojibway and Irish heritage. When his mother died trying to save her children from a fire that destroyed their home, Redbird, who was nine months old, was sent to a middleclass foster home in St. Catharines. It was while he was living there that he got his school nickname, Duke and later legalized it with Redbird. At the age of 11, when his foster father died, he began a journey from foster home to foster home, often running away to try to find his birth father and family. A rough period in street gangs and odd jobs followed that. As a young man, Redbird became involved in First Nations political organizations and spoke on radio and television as well as creating documentaries on native issues. Redbird has represented Canada in many ways: as vice-president of the Native Council of Canada, President of the Ontario Métis and Non-Status Indian Association, his poem Indian Pavilion was featured during Expo '67 in Montreal, and he represented Canada at the Valmiki World Poetry Festival in Delhi, India (1985). In 1987, a commissioned work of his was read at the opening of the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Hull, Québec. He has combined many of his talents in a CD of his poetry and music called Duke Redbird's Poetry.
