==Background==
In 1983, at the age of 50 years, the Toronto native of English and Ojibwa heritage was described as a “reformed drunk” who had been in and out of trouble with the law and with women for much of his life.〔Tom Keyser, (“Bill’s nose knows where good and evil lurk,” ) ''Calgary Herald'', October 30, 1983, p. B1.〕 It was around 1980 that Peacock, then a typesetter at the North Hill News Ltd., a web offset printer in Calgary, contemplated publishing an independent Native newspaper.〔“Mostly About People,” ''The Jewish Star'', Calgary edition, September 21, 1984, p. 5.〕〔“Mostly About People,” ''The Jewish Star'', Calgary edition, August 22, 1980, p. 5.〕 He continued to speak of it while working at his own Calgary print shop,〔 and his dream was realized in August 1984, when he produced the first monthly issue of ''The Native Albertan: An Independent Native Newspaper''.
