How is everybody? I am sure you are all very busy teaching Anishnaabemowin? It is
challenging and hard today to teach Anishnaabemowin when there are so few curriculum
materials and resources out there for our native language classrooms. When we look
back we can see how far we've come and see the amount of work our Native Language
Instructors have produced! We just need to keep doing what we are doing with our
Native languages.
We wish to extend our congratulations to all the students who successfully completed
their program this past summer. Best wishes in your endeavors.
,,
A reminder to the students who need to do their ''teaching experience , if you have not
yet made arrangements with a school, you should start seeking a placement soon. Don't
forget to get your practice teaching forms filled in and signed by the appropriate school
official and send the form in to the NLIP office.
Students who have already taken Year 4 should be certain to register and complete their
assignments for ED 1599 Winter Practicum as soon as possible and send them in to the
NLIP office in order to receive the Native As A Second Language Diploma at the Spring
2002 Convocation exercises. If you have any questions concerning your practicum,
please to not hesitate to call.
Our planning is underway once again for the summer session 2002. Dates for the 2002
NLIP session are July 2 to July 26, 2002. Student evaluation of the program conducted in
July 2001 indicated that students requested names and addresses and phone numbers of
fellow NLIP students for sharing purposes. We are unable to provide these because of the
Freedom of Information Act, which prevents us from divulging such information in this
newsletter. Some preliminary infonnation about courses and programs for summer is
included in this newsletter.
We wish everyone a pleasant holiday during Christmas and the New Year!

�UPDATE:
THE PROPOSED ONTARIO TEACHER QUALIFYING TEST
AND YOU
If you recall, last July we mentioned that the Ontario Government
wanted to pass legislation called the Quality in the Classroom Act
that would require all new teachers seeking certification from the
Ontario College of Teachers to take the " Ontario Teacher
Qualifying Test''. At that time we told you that we would update
you on the situation if and when we heard anything. While the
news is that there is no news, here is what we know so far.
According to Dr. Anthony Bartley, our Lokehead University Faculty
of Education representative to the Ministry of Education meetings
on Teacher Testing, there is not much to report because there has
been a news blackout on this issue until the legislation is passed
sometime in January of 2002. Dr. Bartley says, however, that
the focus of testing will probably be on teachers seeking regular
certification and not teachers applying for "restricted certificates"
such as the ones for teaching the Native languages as a second
language. But he goes on to warn that this is his opinion and that
nothing has been said directly or officially to support or refute it.
We have since learned from Lucy McCartney, an Ontario Ministry
of Education (OME) employee who sits on the Ontario Teaching
Testing Project Advisory Committee, that the bill is in its 3rd
reading and testing will definitely take place in Spring 2002.
McCartney also said that they have not yet defined which
categories of student teachers the legislation will affect.
When we consulted with Keith Lickers, an Education Officer in the
Curriculum and Assessment Policy Branch of the OME, he could not
say whether or not NLIP students will have to take the test, but
he did provide details on the test itself. Here is what he said:

Native Language in Ontario Vol. 12, No. 3

11

�ONTARIO TEACHER QUALIFYING TEST
IT'S PURPOSE:
It will test student teachers skills in classroom management, teacher
strategies, and problem solving.

WHAT IT WILL INVOLVE:
It is a 3-hour test comprising scenario and multiple-choice questions.
Test will be marked by Ontario teachers and faculty staff. The test is
not focused on specific subjects.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR:
It was pilot tested in October 2001 and will be field-tested with
volunteers in December 2001 and January 2002. The first real tests
will be administered April 27, 2002.

FOR MORE INFORMATION:
A backgrounder on the legislation is available at the Web site:

�The Ontario Curriculum
Grades 1 -8

Native Languages
2001

This publication is available on the Ministry of Education website
at
http ; //www . edu . gov . on . ca
The Ministry of Education is developing three Native Language resource
guides on grammar for 1) Ojibwe and Cree Languages; 2) Delaware; and 3)
three Iroquoian languages - Cayuga, Mohawk and Oneida.
The first two are virtually complete and ready for printing. The third is
currently being developed. It is the intent of the Ministry to have them
printed and distributed this school year.
The resource guides are supplementary and complementary to the Native
Language policy documents for Grades 1 to 12 that have already been
released to schools.
The resource guides are an effort by linguists and fluent speakers of the
Native languages to produce a significant resource for language
development. The Native language program, as outlined in the curriculum
policy documents, focuses on the communicative aspect of language.
Effective communication depends on accuracy and clarity of expression.
Therefore, grammatical accuracy is emphasized which makes the new
resource guides an important support of the program.
This project has presented a real challenge in that no grammar publications
for any of the Native languages taught in Ontario are available - which
partly explains why the project has been so long in development.
The release of these resource guides will complete the Native Language
program as part of the new Ontario curriculum

�LANGUAGE ANV LEARNING REFLECTIONS
BY: Ar-n,ol.d;p. I�� August 1992

The following essay is a reflection on the nature of language and the nature of the learner.
In the process I collected on the experiences I have encountered throughout my lifetime
and what I have had the pleasure of discovering in my linguistics classes at Lake.head
University in the summer of 1992.
As an Ojivway from the Rama First Nation, I spent the first years of my life on an Indian
reserve along with my own nationality. I can remember those days as a child with my family
and community members speaking and playing in the native tongue. My grandmother would
always speak to my brother and I using the Ojibwe language. She would use it in everyday
life, with legends and stories during the winter months and before bedtime. To me, it was
the most beautiful and descriptive language I had ever heard. I am sure that my person
from another nationality would say the same thing about their language. Anyway, this would
not be hard to understand as it is my first language and the only other language I had to
compare it to was English, which I understand is a borrowed language.
It was not until the early sixties that I was ushered off to a non-native School and
environment in the nearby town of Orillia, Ontario, which at the time had a population of
about 13,000. I was not totally foreign to the new language, but now I was learning and
doing everything in English for the better part of every day. Suddenly things were
different, structured, not as much fun. Physical punishment was now the new way of doing
business and it was not uncommon to see the native youngsters lined up outside the
Principal's office waiting to get the strap for being ourselves. After a few years, I began to
realize that we were using less and less of the Native language. It was not up until 1984
that we as a community started to do something about the problem by sending people to
Lake.head University to receive some learning and training skills. I was the first person from
our community to take the course. Then the following year, another three came as well, all
of who are working with the language in some form or another today. There was and is a real
feeling of loss of identity and heritage within us. I was one of those people who was
genuinely concerned and who took a positive step to rejuvenate the language, not only by
increasing any knowledge of the language, but by encouraging others to speak and learn to
teach. Also, it was through my initiative that a language program was in the daycare center.
I believed the language had to be protected from the outside world; it had to be pure again.
I also knew that the words were different from how they m must have been in the time of
our forefathers. I felt those words had to be recaptured and preserved to rekindle our
identity and pride. I always believed there was a proper way of using words. I knew not the
evolutionary processes of languages. I did not want to share the language with other
nationalities for fear of further loss and bastardization. I also believed that if I wasn't
totally fluent with my first language, I would never be whole. I would feel awkward around
the Elders and people who were well versed in the language and had a tendency to withdraw
from a lengthy of full conversation. I knew there were other First Nations like the Cree,
Micmac, and Mohawk, but I knew practically nothing of dialect. I believe dialect and the lock
of its knowledge contributed to my feelings of inefficiency with the language. I used to
believe that the language was dying.

�I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend Lakehead University this year,
predominantly because of my education in the Linguistics classes. Our instructor, Mr. R.M.
Agnihotri, has opened my eyes and renewed my hope and faith that we as native people
belong with our languages, will survive! Now I have a more positive and optimistic outlook for
the future. I have learned to appreciate the finer points of the language and learner
processes. Instead of isolating ourselves with the language from the outside world, I now
believe that languages and people grow, learn and flourish from exposure to each other. The
only things constant is •change". New languages are coming into being all the time because
of interaction. Our language will change but it will live on. I see now how languages are both
highly structured and variable, and how with time and patience, any language can be broken
down and understood. I have always heard that children can learn a new language faster
than adults. Now I learn that both can learn equally as well and fast in regards to the
structure and words, but when it comes to pronunciation, the children have a slight edge on
adults,. I am also aware of the influences that the geographical location and environment
con have on a language. For instance, in Native country, if you live near a river, body of
water or any Island, the language will have a lot of •shhh" sounds because of the water
washing up against the shore line. If the Tribe is in the extreme north, then the language
will be harsh like the weather. I used to think that linguistics knew several languages but
now I am aware that it is a study of the structure and not the language itself. It is these
kind of peoples that con preserve and enhance heritages. They can capture a language and
record it on paper for the benefit of future generations and cultures. Some suggestions to
ensure the continuity of the language was not to focus all our energies and efforts on the
day-to-day fights like the realization of a language facility in the community, but rather to
attack the Big Picture. Concentrate at the National level to have a Native language policy,
fight for more capital and operational dollars, fight for equality. Go to the grass roots level
- politicians, and have them lobby the governments for the community and its members.
Have them institutionalized the language in the workplace and service centers, encourage
them to use it in the Council and public meetings. We have also learned about the nature of
he learner and the learning process. For example, we find in the learner that it is perfectly
natural to make errors. In fact, this may ever be desirable as now there is a method of
comparison between right and wrong, good or better. It is not a negative aspect of learner
development it is what makes us human, approachable and unpredictable. Languages are what
separate us from animals. For the longest time it was believed, maybe even before the
manifestation of record keeping and language structure development, that the learner
received comprehension and retentions through the five senses. This is what we are putting
in, this is what will be learned. In fact, this theory holds true to this day. There have been
numerous studies conducted by countless professionals and human behaviorists about the
theories behind the learning process. Now we find out that the learner is at the center of
the learning process and that there are several factors which influence his learning and what
he learns. Society, for example, teaches in the language of the dominating majority, which,
in Canada, is the English language. Social and economic conditions are also prevalent and
contributing factors because not everyone can go to say Yale University, because of
unwritten restrictions imposed by society. Maybe there are sociably acceptable criteria for
entry or the restrictions may be confining because of financially embarrassing reasons. The
individual may also have factors such as age, attitudinal problems, motivational deficiencies,
linguistic sensitivities and attitudinal qualifications holding him back.

Native Language in Ontario Vol. 12, No. 3

21

�The teacher and the types of material used to teach also have a bearing on what the
individual learns. Does the tmcher hove the qualifications, what sort of attitude does she
display. is she linguistically sensitive, is she sensitive to cultural differences. Does she
present materials that are interesting, pleasant and contributing to the crmtive instincts of
the lmrner? What tmching style is being used in the classroom? Is it tmching style being
used in the classroom? Is it Behaviorism?, where is it believed that the mind is a blank
space to be filled? Is it the (L.A.D.), Language Acquisition Device, where the person is
believed to be starting our knowing very little? Or is it through the General Cognitive
Structures theory.
It was not until fairly recently that a new theory was conceived whereby it was believed that
the child was born with the knowledge of a universal language, a sixth sense. They said that
the infants brain must be preprogrammed to a certain extent, it was not any empty basket
as previously assumed.
To my thinking this is the most logical of the theories. I cannot believe that the brain is
empty upon birth...I distinctly remember when my own son was born and how he rmcted to
his new environment. I could see the intelligence instantly. He felt the cold and reacted
appropriately, he could not see clearly but he was able to focus on the overhmd light. This
was the fist thing he sow in this life and for the longest time, for a period of about three
ymrs, he was still compelled by light and would look right into a burning light bulb. In my
mind, I could make him our as saying, • Where the heck om I, what's happening, what's that?•
I told his mother, he's a food one, Deb. I believe that a newborn is innate, meaning that
both parents genetically transferred the preprogramming previously mmtioned. It is quite
conceivable to me that the chromosomes of the parents carry not the characteristics of the
parents but also a kind of collective memory. This memory is then constantly developing in
the ovary, in the womb and right on through the individual's lifetime. Even while the fetus is
developing. it hos the ability to comprehend the outside world through the five senses and
analyze with the sixth. It can hear noises such as language while still in the womb and
recognize the smell of its mother even when it is separated for periods of time. This is
memory at work, analytical thinking. Furthermore. studies have shown that the human brain
uses no more than 5 to 10 percent of its power. Why is this? It is protecting us from
ourselves? Will there come a time when we no longer require a shell, and will the next form
be energy matter? If the brain only used the 10 percatt that we can measure, then surely
the other 90 percent must be doing something. I refer to the unconscious of the sixth
sense. I believe there is more going on that meets the eye and I will refer to it as
"automatic learning• or self-preservation. Even during the silent years, from birth to soy
abo,µt three years. the individual is still lmrning and developing the confidence to try new
things. like speech. Remember, you can learn more by listening all the time than you can be
speaking all the time. Learning is more that a one way street, there are so many variables
associated with it that no two people see the some thing exactly the same way.
In conclusion. I would soy that any tmching professional that takes the time to understand
his subject, his pupils' individuality, the external factors and the theories and learning
techniques available to him, will do well in his or her chosen career.

�WHAT IS EVALUATION
There have been many ideas shared and discussed, and methods developed on the
topic of •evaluationH. The Ministry documents, Native Languages Guideline and
Resource Guide - Support Document, provide detailed sections on evaluation. Still,
we get questions on what is the best way to apply a method you select?
Following is another contribution made by Adrian Peetoom. Here is some
information and citations made from his publication •RefleXionsH.
...you rely on what your own mind and heart - and the hearts and minds of your
students - tell you ... what's going on in our program, on your profession, in your own
professional life. Genuine evaluating is built right into classroom practice. The
trick is to recognize when and what and how you and your students are evaluating.

s��m-pcmder.

• Evaluation is first and foremost a celebration of what learners have
learned.
• Evaluation is a process, not a product.
• The purpose of evaluation is not to measure, but to foster.
• Evaluation depends on knowing the children and recognizing their
gifts, learning styles and interests.
• It is what people do together for the purpose of helping learning
along and building confidence in the learner.

The key to evaluation:

Students are totally involved in the process. There is only working with the
students (and their parents) to discover...
- what they already know,
- what they sti II need to know, and
- how they can be helped to know.
Like learning, evaluation happens every moment...The trick is to become more
specifically aware of and reflective about what you see, hear, feel, think, decide, so
that each bit you learn about your students' learning from them or from you own
observations, affects what you say and do next and builds towards your common
learning goals. Evaluation isn't something you do to students; it's something you do
with them on an ongoing basis.

Native Language in Ontario Vol. 12, No. 3

23

�Think of the on-going process as the "five R's":

•

Research:

What have we done?

... when you gather information about what both you and the students did.
You collect all kinds of data: about your instruction, the students'
interactions, the process of their learning (observable behaviors), pieces of
writing, completed tests, oral projects, drama, drawings, paintings,
constructed models, audio and video tapes etc.

• Reflection: What have we learned?
•what do we know?• - applies to you as well as the students. From the
research information and the materials you've collected, you arrive at some
tentative conclusions about the learning process; not only of what of
learning, but also the why, when, how, and with whom ...It's no longer simply
what you value in your students' learning that's important, but what they
value as well. Their own goals are what matter, and their recognition and
understanding of how and how much they're moving toward those goals.
• Response: Where will we go from here?
Each •evaluation" you and your students make as you reflect on the learning
they and you have done points to new goals that build on what has already
been learned.
• Reporting: What can we tell each other and others about our
learning?
-an ongoing sharing of thoughts and feelings about the process of learning
and what is being learned. Also important is periodic communication
between you and the parents - with the student - about what you saw, what
you thought, what you wondered, what you decided.

•

Recording: What learning can we record as completed?

If the first four •:steps" are in place and everyone has had an opportunity
to contribute, then official records of your students' work and learning will
be no big deal.

Thinking about learning:
Questions for evaluating yourself and your teaching ...
1. What did the students learn?
2. What did I learn about them
3. What did I learn about my teaching?

ll was good to gel together once again to work on our Anishnaabe languages and culture. It was
good to have student teachers, faculty and staff take the big challenge to be involved in the Native
Language Instructors· Program. his good to get together. to help each other, to teach each other, lo
support each other, and to learn from each other. It is always our wish to get together at a program
where we can share, talk to each other, and give ideas on what to do in our Native language pro­
gramming. Our Native languages are in danger of dying. Let's not lose what our Creator gave us.
We must be strong in our minds and in our hearts what it means to be Anishnaabe. It does not
matter where we are. whether it is at home, at a school, at an college or university, in our commu­
nity, or wherever we are, we will help, promote, develop resources, teach, or do research towards the
revitalization of our Anishnaabe languages. All the best in your endeavours.
In the Spirit of our Anishnaabe languages,

�NLIP Student Council - President's Message ...
Hey you guys, you may have tears in your eyes now, but wait till year four, you will have water
flowing from your eyes with pride.
Jim Bobb, Fourth Year Grad and Student Council President
Aanii/Boozhoo!
On behalf of the student council, I would like to thank everyone who took pan in student activities
this past year. Beginning with the success of our pot luck feast and step dancing, our 50/50 draws,
our ans &amp; crafts sale, various other activities and ending with our Graduation Dance and mini pow
wow on Saturday, July 23. Special thanks to Norman Beaver and his band Wigwam" for their
entenainment that evening.

I feel this year has come and gone so quickly, and all have experienced some loneliness, frustration,
tears and laughter, new friendships and not to mention those lesson plans. I look forward to seeing
you all again and hope to continue all year as Vice-President to help make next year's activities even
more successful.

�Odaminowin Coordinator's Message ...
Odaminowin Day Camp offered a variety of programming this year including traditional arts and crafts,
swimming excursions, nature waJks, Whiskey Jacks baseball games, drug and alcohol education. role
model programs and Elder visits.
As a result of the exceptionaJ efforts of Odaminowin staff, NLIP administration and members of
the community the children had the opponunity to panicipate in and share a variety of experiences. I
hope that all the laughs, smiles and energy which the participants shared with us this summer are as a
result of these effons.
On behalf of all the staff, I would like to thank all the volunteers and parents for the exceptional
commitment which they have shown to the children and the program.
As a final note, I would like to thank all the children. Without your motivation and suppon this
program wouldn't exist. I look forward to seeing you next year.
Gchi-miigwech!

POPCORN . . .
During one morning break, Emma and Robina went to get a drink. As they were walking Robina
said, "I'm hungry". So Emma told her, "Let's get some popcorn". So she bought the popcorn and
Robina put it in the oven. After they thought it was done they got it out from the microwave. But
the popcorn didn't look popped so Robina put it back in the microwave. After seconds later, she got
it out again. So they sat at the table and Loretta came along to join them. As the three of them were
sitting helping themselves to popcorn, they didn't notice the smoke from the popcorn until Randy,
their instructor, came along and said ..What are you three doing? Having a popcorn smudge?"
Emma told him "I think is just burned a little". Then a lady came up to them and said "Is your
popcorn burning?" Emma told her "Oh, it's just the heat evaporating out of the popcorn". They
kept on helping themselves to it Until the security guard came and said "Somebody burning some­
thing here?" The three of them just kept on talking without paying attention until the security guard
came up to them and said "Your popcorn!" That's when they started checking the popcomlt was
already half burning, then some lady comes up to them and said "Get the fire extinguisher!" The
three of them had an apple juice each so they just poured all of it on the popcorn. "Oh well", they
said, ••we do that in Summer Beaver, that's our tradition".

�Resources
Ojibwe Syllabics
(A handbook for readers and writers of Ojibwe)

By Chuck Fiero

This book was written for the person who always wanted to learn syllabics but is scared of the
syllabics chart The lessons go a lcner at a time, a word at a time, and you make your own chart as
you go.
It's also for the person who isn't sure of all those little finals and dots and where to put them, or
never could figure out which was shay, she, sho, or shah.
Or maybe you need graded word lists or ideas to help you teach syllabics to someone else. It· s for
you too. Try it and let us know how we can improve the book.

�Acting Coordinator's Messa ge •••

The Native Language Instructors• Program for 1993 has come and gone. Being a pan of the program
has always been imponant to me, and rve always greatly enjoyed working with NLIP faculty. staff.
and especially students. As I look back upon my role as Acting Coordinator for the past year, rve
had a different perspective on NLIP. The last year has been an infonnative and challenging one for
me and I hope that the results of the preparation done over the last year have made NLn&gt; 1993
enjoyable and wonhwhile for you. Despite some unexpected 'events' such as the sudden closing of
the Ryan Building, I hope that the summer was a successful and satisfying one for you.
The spirit of NLIP comes from the efforts of many people, in particular the srudents and our
excellent faculty members. Special thanks are due to Sonya Bruyere and Judy Turrie, the hard­
working NLIP secretaries. Much of the success of the program this summer is because of their
energy and enthusiasm. Everyone connected with NLIP is in their debL
rm also looking forward to the future. I know that Lena White, the new Coordinator of NLIP will
be working bard to maintain the high quality of the program. and to make it even better. I'm looking
forward to working with her, and I'm sure that she will be contributing to NLIP in her new position,
much as she has already done as an instructor and as a student.
-John O'Meara

�Coordinator's Message ...
Aanii: I BooiJtoo:

As I begin my dutic.s as Coordinator, I feel excited and fortunate because I will be working in a program where lhe
faculty and staff and student teachers share common beliefs in the importance of revitalizing our Native languages.
The Native Language Instructors• Program is unique. While it offers programs (or t he preparation of leachers of Native
Language. it provides a great opportuni1y for our teachers in relearning and retrieving our traditions. Much sharing of
Native teachings takes place and these get incorporated in the lesron planning where appro priate, and in everyday life.
Swdents in various programs gain lhe knowledge, skills and values penincn t in a teaching environment. Along wilh this
lcaming. self-awarcn� in personal development is the key. Swdents develop self-&lt;:onfidence and a strong sense of
responsibility in their roJe as a teacher. This also gives NLIP a sense of positive energy. Each year. lhe program gets
stronger. As our Native communities get stronger in their language development, we feel those energies comprised of
the knowledge and traditions that are being shared during the summer lhat makes our program very special and proud
because of its vision and accomplishments.
I feel honoured IO be part of this vision and growth at NLIP. and look forward IO working with you in our program and
IO give you support in your fuwre cndeavoW'S. Gchi-miigwech gii-bi-z�g. Bamnaa pii miinwaa gga-waabminim.
In the Spirit of NLIP,

Lena Odjig White

There has been another year of laughter combined with fatigue, loneliness and frustration for some but
now all too soon, the day has come for us to pan again.
I've had a great time here! It•s been different every year but what I find most intriguing is the fact of
getting to know your fellow students, just a little better. The "Westerners" have played a very imponant
role this summer and it is one filled with emotion. love and honour. I hope you don'r mind my saying
"Westerners" but that's how we•ve been defined through NLIP, Western Ojibwe, Eastern and Central
Eastern - all because of dialect differences.
The Year 4 class has no boundaries of dialect, and many thanks to Randy Valentine, Instructor, for
teaching the way he did. He acknowledged us in his teaching method as "all being one" regardless of
who or where we are. A bond was always approached and defined through culture and language,
especially how we arrive at certain words. He strengthened the bond we felt for another.
We, people from down south, outspoken and silly in contrast to the people from up north who were
reserved and quiet all came forward full strength and showed everyone who they were and I love them
for it Throughout the years we have learnt and gained knowledge and ways oflife not to mention a pride
for each other. We were one in body, mind and spirit.
The man from up north who took us to a "lovely banquet" was one Roger Oskineegish and his wife,
Emma. Emma has been in class from the beginning and has been one of the most smiling, admired, and
richest people I have met (richness - not in the sense of money)- from the bottom of our hearts we thank
Roger for a time we will never for get. May he be blessed at an even greater measure in his business
and the work he is doing for his people back home. We love you both!
It's very hard for me to write a shon dialogue because my bean is bubbling with emotions and love for
my/our people and I find I easily get overwhelmed. because I see them for who they/we are and if we keep
moving ahead, the time will come when we will be the Head and not the Tail. It's on it's way!
The 50/50 draws were $156.00 for the first draw, a $60.00 picture donated by Stewart McCue for the
second draw and $52.00 for the third which was won by Christie Okimaw. There was yet another draw
at the NLIP Feast held at the Friendship Centre - Gary Hannam won $56.00, and $25.00 by Willy John.
There were others who won but I am unable to think of their names at the momenL I do know that they
were pleased they won.
Last weekend we had a "Fun Day" and we had such a great time that our sides were hutting from laughing
so hard. The races and "Gookoosh" was very comical to watch. People who didn't show up sure missed
a good time! It was there again that we got even more acquainted to new people and friends. The events
I am referring to were Saturday, July 17 and Sunday, July 18th. We took a break and served hot dogs
and pop. It was nice having all the young people in my room as we talked about school and education.

�The members of the Student Council have worked to better the environment and atmosphere on
University campus living. The Student Council also formed a bond and it went on to others like Norman
Beaver who helped set up equipment for entenainment at the "Feast". He approached me and said "Can
I help you?" I looked at him questioningly. He just smiledd and said "I'm volunteering to help you".
So I began to tell him about the Feast and that's when he volunteered to look after the entenainment
aspect - what a great guy! He tells me he has just made arrangements to have an album come out and
I hope each and every one of you will make an effon to buy it. I feet very strongly that he deserves the
recognition not to mention any profits.
All of the Instructors that ever taught us will be long remembered and the input they placed within us.
It will be a great benefit to us for years to come. GCHJ-MIIGWECH, TO All on behalf of the 1993
NLIP Student Council and fourth year students. Gchi-miigwech gii-bezhaayaang maanpii!
May all your wiigwams be filled with laughter
May your classrooms be filled with "cheer,.
May this day be long remembered
As you journey far and near!

Maanoo miinwaa ngoding, nga-nkweshkdaadmin!

�Odaminowin Coordinator's Message •••
Odaminowin Day Camp offered a variety of programming this year including traditional ans
and crafts, swimming excursions, nature walks, spans, drug and alcohol education, role model
programs, and a mini Pow-wow.
As a result of the effons of Odaminowin staff, NLIP Adminisa-ation and members of the
Community, the program has been declared a resounding success. I hope that all the laughs, smiles
and energy which the participants shared with us this summer are as a result of these effons.
On behalf of all the staff, I would like to thank all the volunteers and parentS for the excep­
tional commitment which they have shown to the children and the program.
As a final note, I would like to thank all the children. Without your motivation and suppon

Special Thanks Goes Out To:
Roger Oskineegish who donated roast beef dinner to his wife (Emma's) 4th year Graduating class
and her instructors. The dinner was held at the Ramada Inn. Through all their trials and tribula­
tions, happiness beholds this couple as they begin another chapter in their lives. Roger keeps busy
attending school during the summer, and has his own log-house building company in Summer
Beaver. Best Wishes Emma and Roger.

�Events • • .
On Thursday, July 15, Native Crafts Night was held on the second floor of Rainy River Lounge.
Among items presented and sold were keychains, polar bear tooth neclaces, moccasins, birchbark
picture frames, song tapes, native designed materials, dream catchers, sweetgrass baskets, and
earrings. All the items were made by our students or instructors. It turned out to be a great success.
The NLIP Pot Luck was held at the Thunder Bay Indian Friendship Centre on Thursday, July 22.
Food and bannock was brought and a Karioki provided lots of entertainment for all. The friendship
centre facilities were very good and the NLJP group was very comfortable. The festivities wound
up around midnight In all, fun was had by all!
The total NLIP enrollment figures for 1993 is 147 students, down from last year. One reason for
this is that the Iroquian students are now studying at Brock University near St. Catherines, Ontario.
Townhouses for the handicapped (near Balmoral Street) were completed prior to July.
Visual Arts Building was completed between the campuses.
Alan Bowd, Director of Education has resigned from his position as Director and will go back to
teaching. Good Luck Alan!
David Bates became the new Director of the School of Education effective July 30, 1993
Delores Wawia accepted a new position at McMastcr and will be leaving Lakchcad - Good Luck
Delores!
Ruby Farrell becomes the Acting Coordinator for the N1EP program.
NLIP office has a new home! Now we have office space inside the School of Education and we say
farewell to the BL 1032 Portable.
John O'Meara resumes his linguistic endeavors and retires his Acting Coodinator position. Thanks
to John for commandeering the NLIP program through its transition.
Lena White becomes NLIP Coordinator. Welcome to the Native Language Instructors' Program
Lena and best of luck in your new home and career direction.
Judy Tunie will be leaving the NLIP program in August but only for a short time. We are counting
on having her back next year. Thanks for all your help Judy, we'll miss you!
Did you know that Sonya. the NLIP Secretary, has an admirer who sends flowers from Edmonton?
Maybe there are wedding bells in the making?

�Sonya and Judy selected the Grey and Burgundy colour for NLIP 1993. The 1992 Graduating class
were the first ones exposed to the color theme as they received dreamcatchers in the grey and bur­
gundy which Sonya made for the Grads. During the month of July, T-shirts displaying the colours
were available at $17.00, children's T-shirts were $12.50, mugs were $5.00 and NLJP lapel pins
were also available for $5.00.
A new twist, Mallon's Corporate lmpr�ions. helped Sonya provide satin and nylon jackets,
sweatshirts and caps as well as the t-shins, mugs, pens, badges and lapel pins. These were special
order items which could be personalized. The response to this service was favourable and we hope
to make it a regular service through our office.

Dr. Randy Valentine, congratulations on yourrecent appointment!

�Coordinators' Message ...
The summer of 1992 has been eventful, exciting, sad, and memorable. Eventful because of the planned
activities that were successful. fun, and provided an opponunity for students to relax. Exciting because
first year students settled in quickly, became involved in course work immediately, were inquisitive yet
provided much cultural and/or traditional information when sharing. Sad for those who experienced
illness, death, and unplannedjourneys. Memorable for each and everyone of us ...because of a smile,
a tear, a ray of sunshine, the sound of a drum, or ...
During the 1992 summer school, students participated in many events.There were pot luck suppers, ball
games, volleyball games, bingos, videos, and much more. Elders from the province joined us to share
their knowledge. A dance and banquet at The OutpOSt created a grand opponunity to swing and sway
to the music. The worlcroom in the Bora Laskin became an evening meeting place to work, meet new
friends, socialize, and relax.
Michelle JeanJean, a graduate student form Paris, France, travelled over the Atlantic Ocean to study with
Tom Beardy in his Introductory Ojibwe class. Noxolo Mgudlwa, Phumzile Sotashe, and Tholakele
Maphalala travelled. from Capetown, South Africa to participate in and observe the program. They are
coordinators with the National Language Project in Capetown. Rama Agnihotti, an Applied linguist
from the University of Delhi, taught a year four methods course. Sonny and Josephine Mikaere, from
Wanganui, New Zealand, returned for another summer to teach third year courses. Russell Bowd
travelled from Central Minnesota to participate in the Herbal Medicine and Parent/Community
Involvement Workshops.
N.L.I.P. is a well establishedprogram.It continues to grow i n quality as the students and faculty continue
to shape the curriculum. Over the years, N.L.I.P.has gained a reputation for the quality of its training.
We are recognized in Ontario as the Centre for Native Language Teacher Training and around the world
as the Indigenous Language Centre.
The work of the program is ttuly important. The Native Language Study and Native Language Teacher
Training that is taking place here at N.L.I.P.is indeed world class. It is of significance now and to future
generations. The quality of loyalty, dedication, hard work, and caring are helping us to retain Native
Language for future generations.
This is a sad time for me, as I bid you farewell.At the end of August, I will be at Arctic College developing
a Native Teacher Education Program for Athapaskan language speakers. My bean will be with you. I
have watched each and everyone of you grow. become committed to the language and your people.
Never have I worked with people so dedicated. I am proud and feel honoured to have worked with you.
I am sure our paths will cross again in the future.
May the Great Spirit Guide You. Che Meegwetch.

The Inside Pieces of ...
Student Life
Students have been in a state of con.fusion since the
first day of classes. Just as everyone got settled in the
Bora Laskin, the move to the Ryan Building was
made, bringing more puzzled looks from students.
After getting used to the change and finding the
location ofclasses, everything moved back to the Bora
Laskin Building.
Being in class from 8:30 in the morning to 4:30 in the
afternoon has made the summer a busy one. When not
rushing off to classes, students are seen on the field, in
the malls, at ML McKay, at the Old Fon, or relaxing
near the townhouses. Everyone has managed to find
some spare time to enjoy thcmselves. It has been a full
summer of great times and fond memories.

�N.L.I.P. Spirit
and the Creati on of Our Native Language C ommunity
NLTI (Native Language Teacher Training) began as an experimental program in Fon Frances,
Ontario in 1973. Within the next two years, it expanded and developed into what became Indian Affairs
Branch's Ontario Regional Native As A Second Language training program for Iroquoian and
Algonquian second language teachers. In 1977 the first seven graduates received NL.TT certification
from the Minister of the Department of Indian and Nonhem Development in Ottawa.
In 1978, a second experimental program was undenaken in Thunder Bay to pilot the training
program for teachers of Native Language Ans for first language communities.
In 1981. both the second language and language ans programs moved to Lakehead University to
become diploma programs of the Faculty of Education. The name changed to the present N.L.I.P.
(Native Language Instructors' Program). The Institute began in 1980 as a directed studies program for
N.L.T.T./N.L.I.P. graduates. It has also become pan ofUniversity life, and offers courses in Literature:
The Oral Tradition, Linguistics, Computers, and Research.
In July, 1984, the Ministry of Education for the Province of Ontario, announced a new policy
regarding Native Language Education. Through the winter of 1984 and 1985, Ministty officials met with
Lakehead University personnel to establish a Native Language Teachers' Certification Program leading
to a letter of standing after 3 summers of work. In the summer of 1985, the first certification program
for Algonquian Language began at La.kehead. The Iroquoian Program moved to Lakehead in 1991.
In July of 1986, the first 23 students received a pennanent letter of standing from the Ontario
Ministry of Education as certificated Algonquian Second Language Teachers. In July of 1991, the first
graduating class of the AQ programme for holders of an Ontario Teaching Certificate consisted of 9
teachers. By 1992 enrollment in the various programs soared to 227.
N.L.I.P., while now an established and well-regarded school. continues to grow in quality as each
year the best suggestions of student body and faculty continue to shape the curriculum. Over the years,
N.L.I.P. has come to enjoy a reputation for the quality of its training. Although designed for Ontario's
Native people, students from other pans of Canada. the United States, France and South Africa have
come to participate in the program. We have appreciated the contribution they have made to our
broadening understanding of Native Language Education.
It is our hope that the Native Lan guage Instructors' Program will continue to grow and provide
the development, maintenance and revitalization of assistance to Native Language Education in Ontario.

�Poetry
Drinking
I wrestle with my conscience
over my drinking.
But let's face it, I'm a better
drinkerthan I am a wrestler.
I have a drinking problem.
I haven't enough money to
buy all that I can handle.

I never ann.k too much.
OthelWise I can't stand myself.
I have to have help.
I never let liquor pass my lips.
As soon as it even approaches
them I drink it

Nobody can say I'm lazy.
I'm always carrying a load.

I spent years vainly searching
for truth and beauty,
and then I finally found myself.

I have put up a good fight
with liquor.
Now I can go ten rounds
before I'm knocked out

A HISTORY OF NLIP
NLTI (Native Langua,e Teacher Training) began as an experimental program

in Fort Frances. Ontario. in 1973. Within the next two years. it expanded and develQped
inlo what became 1.A.B.'s - Ontario Regional NASL training program for Iroquoian and
Algonquian second language teachers In 1977. the first seven graduates received
NLTI certification from the Minister of D.J .A.ND in Oua.wa.

In 1978. a �cond experimental program was undertaken in Thunder Bay, to
pilot
the
training program for teachers of Native Language Arts for "first language"
\

communities
..._-·
In 1981. both pro�rams (second lansuage, and language arts) moved to
La.kehead University. w become diploma programs of the Faculty of Educalion with the
name changing to our present NLIP (Native Language ln!-tructo.rs· Program). The
"ln!-tilute" began in 1980 as a directed studies program for NLTI!NLIP graduates, has
also become part of University Hfe. and· Institute· courses now are offered by
Lakehead's Faculty of Arts
Io July. 198◄. the Ministry of Education for the Province of Ontario. announced
its new policy regarding Native Language Education. Throush the winter of '8◄ and '85.
Ministry officials met with Lak.ehead University personnel to establish a Native
Language Teachers· ··certification" program leading to a letter of standing after 3
summers of work In the summer of 1985, the first ··certification" program began. with
the A1tconquian group continuing at lakehead. The Iroquoian group ;oined Lakehead
in 1991
July 1986 saw the firsl 23 students receive their permanent letter of standing
from the Ontario Ministry of Education as certificated Algonquian Second Language
Teachers. In JuJy, 1991. t.he first graduating class of the AQ programme for boJders of
an Ontario Teaching Certificate consisted of 9 leachers By 1991, enrolment in t..he
various NLI programs had soared to 221.
NLIP. ,·hile now an established and well-regarded school. continues lo grow in

quality as each year the best suggestions of student body and facuUy continue t.o shape

the curriculum Over the years. NLIP has come to enjoy a repuiation for the quality of
its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario s Native people. studenlS from
other parts of Canada and from the United States have come to us for training We have
appreciated the contribution they have made to our broade.nio� understanding of
Native Language Education
It is our hope that both NLIP .uid the ''Institute� will continue to grow and
prosper and thal they may become increasingly a source of practical assistance to
Native Language Education in Ontario and beyond.

�To Members of the N.L.I.P. Family,
During my first summer at Lakehead University, I was quoted as
saying, "I'm glad to be here." Over the past three years, the feeling
has not changed.

--

This summer we had 227 registered in the various N.L.I Programs.
Year four of the Diploma Program will have forty-seven graduates;
Part Ill Specialist in Native as a Second Language will graduate nine
candidates.
Memories from Summer 1991:
twelve students in year one over fifty-five years of
age;
grand feast, pow-wow for the Welcoming Ceremony;
Sonny and Jo Mikaere, Edena and Kitty join us from New
Zealand;
elders Richard Lyons, Alex Skead, Walter Linklater, Robin
Green, George Kenny, Ernestine Buswa, and Jean Shawana,
to share their experiences in cultural knowledge during
the evenings;
eighty-five children in NSL class;
year two and year three students going out of their way
to assist year one students;
Addition of lroquian students;
addition of our full-time councillor Gilda Dokuchie,
always smiling , and dreaming of fishing;
young children supervised by Heather, Leroy, Michelle,
and Leslie;
N.L.I.P. is a well established and well regarded component of the
School of Education. It continues to grow in quality as each year the
student body and faculty continue to shape the curriculum. Over the
years N.L.I.P. has gained a reputation for the quality of its traim·ng.
The work of our school is truly important, that is the Native
Language Study and Native Language Education that is taking place
here in N.L.I.P. is world class and of significance now and to future
generations. The qualities of loyalty, hard work, and caring are
helping us to retain Native Language for future generations. I'm
proud of you.
May the Great Spirit Guide You,

Barbara Toye-Welsh, Coordinator,
Native Language Instructors' Program

IMMERSION: THE FJRST STEP
More than ever. First Nations Boards of Ed�tion are questioning the effectiveness of
native language training in their schools. and a:re discovering that total immersion is the
only answer for language retention and maintenance. The Native Language teKher. as
the front line worker, is often approllched to provide direction and conaete solutions to
this undertaking. This workshop will addre$S the Native Language teacher's role and
the sequential steps that could be followed in setting up a language immersion progta.m.

BEYOND1lfESOUNDOFTHE DRUM

The purpose of the presentation is to show that the cultural aspects are indeed very

important components of teaching units. When tellching the Ojibwe language it is an
opportunity to integrate culture into the Native language curriculum. Culture is a
medium used to develop a self identity or cultural identity. The topic 'Beyond the
Sound of the Drum' has many, many considerations. The presentation is an overview
which encompasses some of these, mainly the Ojibwe version of the drum's origin. the
presenter's personal experience in making a hoop drum and the sharing of a teaching
unit. HandouIS will be available upon request. Mii gwech.

HARVESTINGT

CANADIAN BEAVER

This workshop is on the harvesting of the beaver. It shall proceed from the time a
suitable beaver lodge is found, occupied by the subjects; through various sages of
trapping. skinning. stretching and drying. to the point where the beaver is shipped out
10 the market. It is very important to keep this type of Cultural Activity within the
Native communities as a means of identity, as it has bt.e.n a part of the Native way of
life for centuries. Ideas on the present decline of the market value - as to why and maybe
how as trappers, individuals can help rectify the problem.

�MONTHEAL &lt;CP&gt; - Al the
end of four days or ceremonies
marking the first anniversary
of the Oka land claims crisis,
Mohawk spiritual leader John
Cree said, "The past is over and
now we have to build for the fu­
ture."
But the mood of forgive and
forget was not universal.
As the Kahnesatake native
spoke on Sunday, about 30 Indi­
ans from every region in Can­
ada sat in a circle in another
part of the disputed Oka pine
forest, pounding drums and
chanting, "Hai ya, hai ya, hai
ya, hai ! Mohawk Warriors
kicked your ass!"
Some or the non-natives pre­
sent shuHled their feet and
looked embarrassed.
In another circle, about 100
stood silently as an interpreter
translated into English the
statements of an elder from the
interior of British Columbia
during a tobacco-burning cere­
mony.
He said he had been lrained
as a young man to keep tears
Crom his eyes but that the peo­
ple listening should understand
h e was inwardly moved at
meeting the Mohawks who had
been through so much and sad
lo be leaving his new friends to
return home.
In yet another circle, the
drums beat more slowly as Sal­
ish Indians from the Vancouver
area, Cree from Saskatchewan,
Micmac from Nova Scotia, and
Seminoles from Florida em­
braced a young Mohawk vet­
eran of last summer's 78-day
standoff and said goodbye.
The standorr began when pro­
vincial police stormed a Mo•
hawk barricade erected outside
Oka to stop the expansion of a
golf course onto land claimed as
sacred by the Indians. A provin•
cial police oHicer was killed in
the bungled raid and Mohawks
at Kahnawake, near Montreal,
blocked a major commuter
bridge in sympathy with the
Oka natives.
Cree said the four days of
prayers. songs, dances and
speeches were supposed to be
part of a !waling pr(x•css.
Native leaders like Manitoba
MLA Elijah Harper, or Lone­
lighter Milton Born-With•A·
Tooth, an Alberta Peigan, told
the people of Kahnesatake lhat
despite the fact their commu­
nity is stilldivided and their
land problem is unsettled, their
actions last summer earned the
respect of native people across
Canada.
The atmosphere in Kahna­
wake, the other Montreal-area
Mohawk community was com-

But Saturday and Sunday
thousands of natives and non­
natives flocked to Tekakwitha
Island on the reserve south of
Montreal.
WATCHED DANCING

They watched the dancing, in
spected handicrafts, ate some
of the exotic food like "Real Na
·vaho Taco Burgers" or Resti­
gouche salmon dinners and just
looked around.
Last September, there was a
violent confrontation on the is­
land between Canadian Forces
troops searching for hidden
weapons and angry Mohawks
armed with rocks. Several sol­
diers and natives were injured
in lhc mclce.
Sunday, il looked like a coun­
lrv fair.
Monique Turcotte, a young
mother from Chateauguay who
was there with her baby, said
she hadn't planned to come at
all.
"I was arraid that somebodv
might cause trouble," she said.·
"Nol necessarily the Indians.
lhere are lroublemakers in Cha­
Le aug ua y too, you know. II
doesn't take very many to harm
a lot of people."

teauguaywas the scene of
violent anti-Mohawk protests
l�l summer after Kahnawake
Mohawks closed a commuter
bridge to Montreal to show sup­
port for beleaguered kinsmen in
Oka.
"But I wanted to see what it
was like,'· Turcotte said.
"�'hen nothir.g bad happened
Saturday, ( decided to come.
It's nice here The fear is gone.
People seem happy and cour­
teous."
At one pomt Sunday after­
noon, an allractive, middle­
aged Mohawk woman took
some lime away from her hand­
icraft booth to watch the danc­
ing. She asked the big French­
C'anadia n man sitting next to
ht-r "'hetlwr he was &lt;'njoying
h11m.t•lf
He said, ··yes."
She asked him what he did for
a living.
lfo said he v.,as a Quebec pro­
v1nc1al poh� officer
She introducedherself
S.he was Kahn-Tincla Horn,
fired from her federal govern­
nt('nl job at:d facing l·r1mmal
ch,1rg&lt;&gt;s bcc.iusc or her actions
m Oiw during lasl summer's
standoff.

They smiled and wished each
other good day.

To Members of the NLIP Family,
This is my second summer with NLIP. The school has provided moments of
insight, friendship, heroism, courage, wisdom, and humour.
Memories from Summer 1990:
* students who found it tough, but kept going
* students who made things better for the rest of us
* students who shared insights, courage, jokes, and wisdom
* students who shared white glue and ideas
* students who showed others the fine art of laminating

The enrollment for year one NLTC increased by 100\. Due to the unforseen
increase, classes were much larger than usual. My thanks to first year
students for being patient and understanding; my thanks and appreciation to 0
faculty who stayed up to the wee hours of the morning helping and markin91
books; a tremendous thank you to all other students who assisted our first I o
year without complaint.

10

NLIP is a well established and well regarded school. It continues to grow in °
quality as each year the suggestions of student body and faculty continue to·
shape the curriculwn. Over the years NLIP has gained a reputation for the I 0
quality of its training. Although designed for Algonquian languages, students
from other parts of canada and from the United States come for training.

�A Note from the Principal

This summer I have had the pleasure to serve as Principal for Summer School,
1990. It has been great working with the children, the students and the
Associate teachers. In talking with the children, I have heard nothing but
good remarks about their classroom experiences.

I would like to say a special thank you to all the AO students that assisted
in the Summer School, the Associate teachers, Jean, Angela, Florrie,
Ernestine, Karen and our film crew, Patrick and Brian. Thank you everyone
who helped to make the childrens graduation a success.

CONGRATULATIONS to all the NLTC students. You have made the childrens
learning experience this swnmer enjoyable. I know you have all worked very
hard this summer and can now breath a sigh of relief. You should all be very
proud of yourselves. YOU MADE IT!

Meegwetch to everyone for your time and patience this summer.
finally say, "NO MORE CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE".

I think I can

Good luck in the future and I look forward to seeing you all again.

iarpe1 [01 1s· on natives
·o march for Mohawks

iAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. CCP) - Manitoba politician Elijah Harper is
ling on native groups acrms Canada to march for peace in a show of ab­
ginal solidarity with Mohawks staging an armed standoff near Montreal.
�e demonstrations W-OUJd coincide with a l p.m. mass raUy outside the
initoba legislature in Winnipeg on Sunday, Harper, a Cree Indian, said
ursday.
'l call on all aboriginal people to support the people in Oka," he said before
:tressing the annual aswnbly of Ontario's Met1S and Aboriginal Assoeia11. The association says it represenls 200,000 Indian and Metls people living
reserves in Ontario.
iarper said non-native Canadians shoukl join the march and pressure Ot·
ia to end the dispute that began in Oka, Que., 10 days ago when a gun battle
1pted between Mohawks andpolice over the rights to land slotted for a mu•
· ipal golf course extension.
)ne police officerwas shot and killed.
� -�.-•�---�
'Our brothers are behind barricades, they need oursupport," said the NDP �:.e.-:.- ·- ,_
imber of the Manitoba legislature whose efforts last month to stall the pas•

'That kind of thinking drives people apart," he said. "As aboriginal people

never advocated violence. I hope there can be a peaceful solution.
'The frustration and angertoday is not necessarily out ofhatred but rather

�To Members of the NLIP Family,
This is my last summer with NLIP, and once again the school has provided
in abundance moments of insight, friendship, heroism, and from which I will
carry with me as treasured memories:
*to those who have found it tough going, but have kept trying.
*to those who have gone the second, and third, and fourth mile to make
things better for the rest of us.
*to those who have shared insights, courage, jokes, wisdom, and even
masking tape.
-- a sincere "miikwehe"
Until now I have not thought much about the "atmosphere" of our school;
I've been too occupied with other things. But twice this week, I've heard
from visitors that the atmosphere on the 3rd floor of the Ryan Building is
friendly, open, unusually pleasant. Now that I've stopped to consider, it is
just that! That atmosphere is your gift to me, to take with me as I travel­
east, and it's the best souvenir I could ever hope to have of NLIP!
The work of our school is truly important. That is, the Native Language
Study and Native Language Education that is taking place here in NLIP is
world-class, and of significance now and to future generations. It is setting
much of the direction as to where we are going in Native Language Education.
If the work itself can be described as where we are going, the human
qualities of loyalty, hard work, and caring may be described as how we are
getting there. I'm proud of you all on both counts. And as I bid you
farewell, I urge you: keep travelling!

Since my recent arrival at Lak.ehead University, l have had a warm
welcome from students, colleagu95 and r�dents of Thunder Bay. In every
class I have observed, students �rt friendly, approachable and very
Willingly introduced themsetve-s to me. Professors in the program are
co-o�rative, ��rts in their field and sincerely concerned about the
progress of their students. At this point, I must say, I am excited about the
challenges this position has to offer. I thank you for your warm welcome
and I am looking forward to working With each and �veryon� of you.
