�To Students in the Indigenous Language Teacher Diploma in July 2017:
This letter is an important notice of changes to the Indigenous Language Teacher Diploma
(ILTD), formerly the Native Language Teacher's Certification (NLTC) program at Lakehead
University. The ILTD program, at the Faculty of Education, began implementing these
changes in September 2015. These changes reflect the Ontario College of Teacher's (OCT)
accreditation requirements.
Formerly, ILTD program students, upon successfully completing all courses over 3 summers,
including the practicum (40 days practice teaching), were recommended to the Ontario
College of Teachers for a Restricted Certificate of Qualification and Registration. However,
most of our ILTD graduates return for a 4th summer and, upon successful completion of all the
required courses, are awarded a Native as a Second Language Diploma.
As of July 2016, the minimum time to complete the ILTD program has been increased to just
over 3 years, including four consecutive summers (four weeks in July), and there are
additional coursework and practice teaching requirements that must be completed during the
intervening years. A program chart is enclosed with this letter.
The ILTD program starts in July of each year. Concentrated coursework takes place over 4
weeks in July, in each of the 4 successive summers. An additional online course (worth 0.5
FCE) must also be completed between September and April each year. These courses are
shown as EDUC 2330, EDUC 2430 and EDUC 3330 on the program chart.
Students must also complete practicum between September and June each year. In the first
year they must complete 1o days of practicum; in the second year they must complete 20
days; and in the third year they must complete 50 days. Students will arrange their own
practicum experiences, usually in their home community, with the assistance of the Program
Coordinator. Practica must conform to the requirements of the Ontario College of Teachers.
Practicum shows as EDUC 1311, EDUC 2111 and EDUC 3111 on the program chart (you
must be registered in the appropriate practicum course for the practicum to count). Students
will participate in EDUC 1599 during Summer 2, 3 and 4. This course utilizes students' own
experiences and reflection on their practicum to foster a reflective and inquiring and thoughtful
practice.
When students successfully complete all courses for Summer 1 and Practicum 1 (1 Odays of
student teaching), they will be recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for a
Transitional Certificate.
Once all the ILTD required coursework and practicum are successfully completed, the
graduating students may attend the Lakehead University convocation in Thunder Bay to
receive their diplomas. Successful students will also be recommended to the Ontario College
of Teachers for their final Certificate of Qualification and Registration with the College
(Teaching Certificate).
If you have any questions about the ILTD program changes, please call me at 807.343.8003
or by e-mail: brscott@lakeheadu.ca

�A SHORT HISTORY OF N,L.I,P,

***************************

NLTT (Native Language Teacher Training) began as an experimental
program in Fort 'Frances, Ontario. in 1973, Within the next two years it
expanded and developed into what bec.rme I.A.B's. Ontario Regional NASL
training program for Iroquoian and Algonkian second language teachers.
In 1977 the first seven graduates received their NLTT certification from
the Minister of D,I,A,N,D, in Ottawa,
In 1978, a second experimental program was undertaken in Thunder
Bay, to pilot the training program for teachers of Native language Arts
for first language" conmunities.
11

In 1981, both prograllll!les (second language, and language arts)
moved to Lakehead University. to become diplo1119. programnes of the Faculty
of Education with the name changing to our present NLIP (Native Language
Instructors' Programme). "The Institute" begun in 1980 as a directed studies
programme for NLTT/NLIP graduates, has also become part of University life,
and Institute courses now are offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Arts.
NI.IP, 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, NLIP has come to
enjoy a reputation for the quality of its training. Although designed and
operated for Ontario's Native people, students from other parts of Canada
and from the United States have �ome to us for training. We have
appreciated the contribution they have made to our broadening understanding
of Native Language education,
It is our hope that both NLIP and the Institute will continue
to grow and prosper and that they ,nay become increasingly a source of
practical assistance to Native Language Education in Ontario and beyond.

A SHORT lltSTORY

O'F N.L.t,P.
********M******************

NLTT (Native Language Teacher Training) began as an experimental
program in Fort Frances, Ontari�, in 1973, Within the next two years it
expanded and developed into what becmne I.A.B's. Ontario Regional NASL
training program for Iroquoian and Algonkian second language teachers.
In 1977 the first seven graduates received their NLTT certification from
the Minister of D.I.A.N.D. in Ottawa.
In 1978, a second Eocperimental program was undertaken in Thunder
Bay, to pilot the training progra111 for teachers of Native language Arts
for "first language" cot1111Unities.
In 1981, both progranmes (second language, and language arts)
moved to Lakehead University, to become diploa prograDDes of the Faculty
of Education with the name changing to our present NLIP (Native Language
Instnactors' Programe), "the Institute" begun in 1980 as a directed studies
programme for NLTT/NLIP graduates, has also become part of University life.
and Institute courses now are offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Arts.
NI.IP. 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, NLIP has come to
enjoy a reputation for the quality of its training. Although desi gJ1ed and
operated for Ontario's Native people, students from other parts of Canada
and from the United States have �ome to us for training. We have
appreciated the contribution they have made to our broadening understanding
of Native Language education.
It is our hope that both NLIP and the Institute will continue
to grow and prosper and that they 1111lY become increasingly a source of
practical assistance to Native Language Education in Ontario and beyond.

Our Senior Native Language Arts class invited the junior
class to a "paper chase" Mary and Modina wrote out clues
on small pieces of paper.� We had two teams. One of the
teams had clues on a plain piece of paper and the otner on
tined paper. They hid the pieces of paper around the class�
room and the last clue told us where the prize was. We
looked all over the place for the little notes telling us
where to look for the next ones. I saw a whole bunch of
men chasing after Mary Mitchell's head, looking for the
next clue. The person who found the note had won the prize,
a box of candies. We all had candies, which we won. The
two teams enjoyed themselves. It gave us a break from our
regular assignments.

A SHORT HISTORY OF N.L.I.P.
***************************
NLTT (Native Language Teacher Training) began as an
experimental program in Fort Frances, Ontario, in 1973. Within
the next two years, it expanded and developed into what became
I.A.B's - Ontario Regional NASL training program for Iroquoian
and Algonkian second language teachers. In 1977, the first seven
graduates received their NLTT certification from the Minister of
D.I.A.N.D. in Ottawa.

In 1978, a second 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 progranmes (second language, and language
arts) moved to Lakehead University, to become diploma progranmes of
the Faculty of Education with the name changing to our present NLIP
(Native Language Instructors Programme). "The Institute" began in
1980 as a directed studies programme for NLTT/NLIP graduates, has
also become part of University life, and Institute courses now are
offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Arts.
NLIP, 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, NLIP has come to enjoy a reputation for the quality of
its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario's Native
people, students 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 broadening understanding of Native Language
education.

It is our hope that both NLIP and the Institute will continue
to grow and prosper and that they may become increasingly a source of
practical assistance to Native Language Education in Ontario and
beyond.

A SHORT HISTORY OF N.L.I.P.
***************************

In 1978, a second experimental program was undertaken in
Thunder Bay, to pilo� the training program for teachers of Native
language Arts for "first language" communities.
In 1981, both programs (second language, and language
arts) moved to Lakehead University, to become diploma programs of.
the Faculty of Education with the name changing to our present NLIP
(Native Language Instructors' Program}. "The Institute" began in
1980 as a directed studies program for NlTT/NLIP graduates, has
also become part of University life, and Institute courses now are
offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Arts.

NLTT (Native language Teacher Training) began as an
experimental program in Fort Frances, Ontario, in 1973. Within
the next two years, it expanded and developed into what became
I.A.8.'s - Ontario Regional NASL training program for Iroquoian
and Algonkian second language teachers. In 1977, the first seven
graduates received their NLTT certification from the Minister of
0.1.A.N.O. in Ottawa.

I� July, 1984, the Ministry of Education for the Province
of Ontario, announced its new policy regarding Native Language
Education. Through the winter of /84 - /85 Ministry Officials
met with Lakehead University personnel to establish a Uative
language Teachers 1 "Certification" program leading to a letter
of standing after 3 sulllllers of work. In the summer of 1985, the
first "certification" program began, with the Algonkian group
continuing at Lakehead, and the Iroquoian group relocating at the
University of Western Ontario.

NLIP, while now an established and well-regarded school,
continues to grow in qua1ity as each year the best suggestions of
student body and faculty continue to shape the curriculum. Over
the years, NLIP has come to enjoy a reputation for the quality of
its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario's Native
people, students 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 broadening understanding of
Native language Education.

Sister Lenore Sullivan
lost her voice last year on
the first day or her new
job as a teacher at the
Gull Bay School.
· She didn't lose It

because she had to speak
all day - she's used to
lhat with 19 years of
teaching experience
behind her. Sister Lenore
said she lost her voice as
a result or shock. due to
the "big differences" she
round in teaching in a

Ill

reserve school.
'"The big ·thing was the
absence or supporting
structure. There were no
school policies. and the
expectations were loosely
defined,'' said Sister
Lenore.
The school on the Gull
Bay Reserve isn't even
remote in comparison to
some in the northern·
regions, such as the
Wlnlsk Reserve on Hud•
son's Bay. Al least the
Gull Bay Reserve. being
170 km north of Thunder
Bay on Highway 527. is
accessible by road.
It's a relatively new
school. having opened in
1983, and it contains some
modern conveniences
such as a computer.

and typewriter. The 65
students at the school are
divided into three triple

challenges they all race:

students receive in urban
schools.

IB.5UE LAST YEAR

The quality of educa­
tion has been an Issue this
past year as newly•
eJected band chief Oliver
Poile has considered it
one of his special in·
terests.
Polle believes the
school's testing methods
should be improved. since
students in previous

•

PUTTING BRUSH TO CANVAS ONE MORE TIME
years were graduating
from class to class
without achieving the pro­
per academic levels.
"'They haven't failed
anyone for years. It ·s nol
right." said Poile

This past June was only

the se&lt;:ond year in which
a number of students
were told they would have
to repeat their year.
Students didn't fail and
it seemed that no one
cared if they reeei11ed a
proper educatkln. said
Polle. The school is fund•
ed by the Department of
Indian and Northern Ar·

fairs. and no one wanted

to think that a proper job
was not being done. he
said.
"It's better to educate
the kids lhen make them
believe

caled,. said Poire. "At
least now they know
they'11e earned their
grade.''

A SHORT HISTORY OF N.L.I.P.
***************************
NLTT (Native Language Teacher Training) began as an
experimental program in Fort Frances, Ontario, in 1973. Within
the next two years, it expanded and developed into what became
I.A.B.'s - Ontario Regional NASL training program for Iroquoian
and Algonkian second language teachers. In 1977, the first seven
graduates received their NLTT certification from the Minister of
D.I.A.N.O. in Ottawa.
In 1978, a second 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 programs (second language, and language
arts) moved to Lakehead University, to become diploma programs of
the Faculty of Education with the name changing to our present NLIP
{Native language Instructors' Program). "The Institute 11 began in
1980 as a directed studies program for NLTT/NLIP graduates, has
also become part of University life, and Institute courses now are
offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Arts.
In July, 1984, the Ministry of Education for the Province
of Ontario, announced its new policy regarding Native Language
Education. Through the winter of /84 - /85 Ministry Officials
met with Lakehead University personnel to establish a Hative
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 Algonkian group
continuing at lakehead, and the Iroquoian group relocating at the
University of Western Ontario.
NLIP, 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, NLIP has come to enjoy a reputation for the quality of
its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario's Native
people, students 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 broadening understanding of
Native Language Education.
It
continue to
a source of
Ontario and

is our hope that both NLIP and the Institute will
grow and prosper and that they may become increasingly
practical assistance to Native Language Education in
beyond.

CONTEST AIMS TO REVIVE NATIVE CRAFT
:,,eRl!,vVA.S:.

W,i.

Native Canadian John Kim Bell and shoe COll'4)8ny
director Sonja Bate teamed up recently to sponsor an
international c�tition among North American Indian
1 craftsmen to produce authentic Indian footwear.
For a total of $6,0IXJ in prizes, Indians will be
invited to 5".)end the next ntAe months creating auth­
entic footwear in their tribal styles. The proMts
will likely be exhibited, and the winners may be
contracted by 8ata Industries to make additional
pairs to supply tNJseuns around the world.

8ata•s family shoe fortune was made in mass-production
--you won't likely see Navajo catus kickers" or
moosehair-tufted lll.Jkluks in the windows of their
shoe stores.
But Sonja Bata eKhibited her knowledge of the ancient
Indian craft with samples•-including some expertly
crafted moccasins 1110re than 200 years old--from the
Bata shoe lll.JSeulll, located at the cornpany•s head
office on Wynford Drive.

ART FORM

Bell, part-time director of the Toronto Sytl1:)hony,
who founded the Native Arts roundatlon two years ago,
said the coq&gt;etitloo ls an attempt to preserve a
cultural art form that is in danger of being lost.
8.Jt the 11ar1&lt;et for such work is small, and often
natives are in no POSition to spend the many hours
it takes to make them by hand.

School Song
*************
O]ibway and Micmac,
Delaware and Cree
East, West and Central,
L and N, well, Gee
Come, teach your language,
be a trainee
Come share in the studies
at N.L.I.P.
The only place to be
•cause we've got a program,
second to none,
We learn to teach,
nd read and write
n our Native tongue
--0-- we get so confused
But, we've never refused
to get our lessons done,
N.L.I.P. is for me.

A HISTORY OF N,L.I.P.

NLTT (Native Language Teacher Training) began as an experimental program in
Fort Frances, Ontario, in 1973. Within the next two years, it expanded and developed
into what became I.A.8.'s - Ontario Regional NASL training program for Iroquoian and
Algonquian second language teachers. In 1977, the first seven graduates received
NLTT certification from the Minister of D.I.A.N.D. in Ottawa.

In 1978, a second 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 programs (second language, and language arts) moved to Lakehead
University, to become diploma programs of the Faculty of Education with the name
changing to our present NLIP (Native Language Instructors' Program). The "Institute"
began in 1980 as a directed studies program for NLTT/NLIP graduates, has also become
part of University life, and "Institute" courses now are offered by Lakehead's
Faculty of Arts.
In July, 1984, the Ministry of Education for the Province of Ontario, announced
its new policy regarding Native Language Education. Through the winter of '84 and
'85, Ministry officials met with Lakehead
University personnel to establish a Native
Language Teachers' "Certification tt program leading to a letter of standing after
3 summers of work. In the surmier of 1985, the first "certification" program began,
with the Algonquian group continuing at Lakehead, and the Iroquoian group relocating
at the University of Western Ontario.

July 1986 saw the first 23 students receive their pennanent letter of standing
from the Ontario Ministry of Education as certificated'Algonquian Second language
teachers. In July, 1987, the first AQ course (level one) in Algonquian Second
Language teaching was held at Lakehead for holders of an Ontario Teaching Certificate,
with 9 teachers taking part. By 1987, enrollment in the various NL! programs had
soared to 121.
NLIP, 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. NLIP has come to enjoy a reputation for the
quality of its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario's Native people,
students 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 broadening
understanding of Native Language Education.
It is our hope that both NLIP and the ttlnstitute"-will continue to grow and
prosper and that they may become increasingly a source of practical assistance to
Native Lang�age Education in Ontario and beyond.

�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.

�A Note from the Principal
This summer·s Native Language School was quite
a success. The NLTC students appreciated their
practice teaching sessions being in the morning
and provided some wonderful learning experiences
for their students. Listening to the children after
class. I was able to hear how much they were
enjoying their summer school. Congratulations to
everyone - associate teachers (Jean, Angela,

Jackie. Lena, Jim, and Gary). ABQ students (Dawna.
Violet, and Chris). "Captain Video" (Seth), and
especially to you. the NLTC students. Keep up the
good teachingl

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.

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.

The work of our school is truly important, that is, the Native Language StudyO
and Native Language Education that is taking place here in NLIP is world clas
and of significance now and to future generations. The qualities of loyalty,o
hard work, and caring are helping us to retain Native Language for future
generations. I'm proud of all of you.

�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
o.t C l , '&gt; p p� \A., C, \N : l d l 1 f t:: ,
never advocated violence. I hope there can be a peaceful solution.
'The frustration and angertoday is not necessarily out ofhatred but rather
get justice, equality and our rightful place in Canada. We· won't settle for
.
ything less."
