"Walking Eagle"

"Premier Gordon Campbell of B.C. was invited to address a major gathering of the Indian Nation last weekend in Kitimat, B.C. He spoke for almost an hour on his future plans for increasing every First Nation's present standard of living. He referred to his career as Mayor of Vancouver, how he had signed "YES" for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval. At the end of his speech, the Tribe gave the Premier a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name: Walking Eagle. The proud Campbell then departed in his motorcade, waving to all.

A news reporter later asked the group of chiefs how they come to select the new name given to Campbell. They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly."
