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.

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. :--\WlillllllilllllllllUlilll �Staff �/ Staff �Grads of 1992 ...

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> 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-<: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'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!

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. ...

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". �From the Students . . .

As usual, we will continue to persevere and keep that commitment - the task in teaching our mother tongue. I remember a lot of things that were said during your stay here. Here are some of the common statements made: 'We will keep learning about our Native language ... We know how important our language is... We will continue to work on developing teaching and learning strategies, to foster its growth and retrieve what we have lost. .. It is imperative that we support one another in this work." What you say is true. Each one of us has a responsibility and no matter where we are an d what we choose to do, Native language will be fosteled through mutual support and an individual sense of responsibility. It is only through each one, s self-awareness, hope, respect and love that our Native language will also heal as we heal. I extend special thanks to everyone who came, the students, faculty and staff. his not always easy, but its through these experiences that we learn and gain sttength.

He will leave behind memories of time spent discovering new concepts. building lasting friendships. participating in team and individual activities; and in the process developing lifelong interpersonal and skills needed regarding our culture and the Nishnaabe language. And so, the end of the Native Language Instructors' Program is a good time to reflect on its devel­ opment and progress. I have now been attending the program for two years. and for me, I feel suc­ cess comes with partnerships, teamwork, a lot of hard work that will pay off, and how much more imponant this payoff will be in the future. At this time I would like to pay tribute to two teachers Jeanba Miinwaa Emcstincba, Miinwaa a peer Frcdba, who I feel have been particularly dedicated for this cause to protect. promote and preserve the Nishnaabc language. Their accomplishments are yours and mine too. Like our class, and the graduating class of •95 they t oo have graduated to a higher school of learning. from the creator himself ''Dizhemnitoo" to begin a new adventure, having left behind a rich legacy for those who will follow in their foot steps. It has long been said that the greatest strength rests on the strength ofit's people. I thank the "Creator" and feel fortunate that He blessed us with such talented dedicated enthusiastic people who have and will continue to have a positive impact on many of our children. youth and adults alike who have chosen each summer in dedication to call Lakehead University Campus their home for four to five weeks. W e are thankful to these two teachers who have given so much over the years, and to Fred who was pan of our class family. I will always remember him as a kind man. and a person who always like to make people laugh. This is also an emotional time. but as a student it is also the most rewarding time. Watching the men, women and children receive their rewards, ccnificates diplomas and achievements fills me wilh an immense sense of pride and it reminds me of the very reason why I have decided to devote time and energy and to give it all I have to the education of our youth. Last but not least, Kidanamikonim (I salute you). Take the knowledge gained here and use it to further expand your personal and professional growth. l I l I I I I I I I I I I I To the graduates I extend my sincerest congratulations to all of you.

Shelves filled with books. Walls decorated with pictures and posters. On my desk. I look at the pictures of two women smiling at me. I begin to feel a sadness overcome me and tears begin to trickle down my face. I wonder, how strong they were to keep holding on to the being. This being so strong and loving. My being, your being. their being. The words that come from within the being are joyful, musical sounds of nature telling you, you arc one with nature. the being remains strong and loving. The life it leads are dictated by the universal changes in nature. A being so strong, loving, generous and always laughing. A being who remains quiet, watching and listening but, forever moving powerfully forward to encounter life's changes. I look at the pictures of these women again and I remember how strong, loving beings they were. I can hear them say. "The being that you help is your being, our being. their being. One that lives with nature and one that talks with nature:. I look at their smiles, smiles so strong and loving. Remembering the smiles, I wipe the tears from my eyes. I pick up the pen and return to the language and culture of the being. Sandra Peltier, Dedicated to Jean Shawana and Ernestine Buswa, Educators of the Anishinaabe Language and Culture. My Life at Wigwam Point By Mary Dok.is I lived on the south shore of Lake Nipissing. I was born in Strugeon Falls. My mom took me home in a boat There was a little ferry which took our people and tour­ ists to the camps around Lake Nipissing and the upper French River. Our house was a tiny log cabin with one room. We rarely saw bears. They didn't come around because we didn't feed them. We saw wolves running around in packs. They didn't bother us. My grandmother used to tell us, "H you don •t bother with animals. they won't bother with you." so I was never afraid of wild animals I'm still not afraid of wild animals. Sometimes I am afraid of dogs, and I don't like slithering snakes. �ryi}u c£o not neeito 6e {ovec{, not at tlie cost of yourself.

Gathering here is a way of showing each other we care. Friendship is a way our people have lived for many years.

We show our friendship to our brothers and sisters by shaking hands or a hug and most important giving a very caring friendship.

To our friendship, and to all our relations,Mother Earth, Circle ofLife, and the Great Spirit Mecgwctch by Caroline Pheasant �A Mother to a Teacher Respect My Child; He Has A Right to Be Himself The following letterappearedasanarticleinThe NonhcrnNewsletter. It was submittedby Surrey school trustee Jock Smith who is an educational counselor for the Department of Indian Affairs. It is a moving document and was supplied by the mother of an Indian child, in the form of an open letter to her son•s teacher. Before you take charge of the classroom that contains my child, please ask yourself why you arc going to teach Indian children. What are your expectations. What rewards do you anticipate. What ego-needs will our children have to meet? Write down and examine all the information and opinions you possess about Indians. What are the stereotypes and untested assumptions that you bring with you into the classroom. How many negative attitudes towards Indians will you put before my child? What values, class prejudices and moral principles do you take for granted as universal? Please remember that "different from" is not the same as "worse than'' or"bcttcr than," and the yardstick you use to measure your own life satisfactorily may not be appropriate for their lives. The term "culturally deprived" was invented by well-meaning middle-class whites to describe something they could not understand. To many teachers. unfonunately, seem to sec theirrole as rescuer. My child does not need to be rescued; he does not consider being Indian a misfonune. He bas a culture, probably older than yours; he has meaningful values and arich andvaried experiential background However strange orincomprehensible it may seem to you, you have no right to do or say anything that implies to him that it is less than satisfactory. Our children's experiences have been different form those of the "typical" white middle-class child for 0 whom most school curricula seem to have been designed(I suspect that this "typical child does not exist except in the minds of curriculum writers). Nonetheless, my child's experiences have been as intense and meaningful to him as any child's. Like most Indian children his age, he is compctenL He can dress himself, prepare a meal for himself, clean up afterwards, care for a younger child. He knows his Reserve, all of which is his home, like the back of his hand He isnot accustomed to having to ask permission to do the ordinary things that arc part ofnormal living. He is seldom forbidden to do anything; more usually the consequences of an action are explained to him and he is allowed to decide for himselfwhether or not to act. His entire existence since he has been old enough to see and hear has been an experiential learning situation manged to provide him with the opportunity to develop his skills andconfidence in his own capacities. Didactic teaching will be an alien experience for him. l I I I I I I I I I I I I I �I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I He is not self-conscious in the way many white children are. Nobody has ever told him his efforts towards independence are cute. He is a young human being energetically doing his job, which is to get on with the process oflcaming to function as an adult human being. He will respect you as a person. but he will expect you to do likewise to him. He has been taught, by precept, that courtesy is an essential part of human conduct and rudeness is any action that makes another person feel stupid or foolish. Do not mistake his patient courtesy for indifference or passivity. He doesn't speak standard English, but be is no way "linguistically handicapped." If you will take the time and courtesy to listen and observe carefully, you will see that he and the other Indian children communicate very well, both among themselves and with other Indians. They speak ..functional" English, very effectively augmented by their fluency in the silent language, the subtle, unspoken communication of facial expressions, gestures, body movement and the use of personal space. You will be well advised to remember that our cbildmt are skillful interpreters of the silent language. They will know your feelings and attitudes with unerring precision, no matter how carefully you arrange your smile or modulate your voice. They will learn in your classroom, because children learn involuntarily. what they learn will depend on you. Will you help my child to team to read, or will you teach him that he has a reading problem? Will you help him develop problem solving skills; or will you teach him that school is where you try to guess what answer the teacher wants'! Will he learn that bis sense of his own value and dignity is valid. or will he learn that he must forever be apologetic and ''trying harder" because he isn't white? Can you help him acquire the intellectual skills he needs without at the same time imposing your values on top of those he already has? Respect my child. He is a person. He bas a right to be himself.

As I begin my duties as Coordinator of NLIP I feel very fortunate to be working with Sonya Matson and John O'Meara who share a great deal of knowledge about the program. NLIP is a well established and well regarded school It continues to grow in quality and has gained a reputation for the quality of its training. Although designed for Ontario's Native people, students from all parts of Canada and the United States have come to us for training. We appreciate the contribution they have made to broadening our understanding of Native Language Education. We are well underway in our Native Language Insttuctor's Program. I hope everyone is enjoy­ ing themselves. I know there's a lot of hard work and dedication involved but keep up the good work. For students who are returning for the second and third years of the Native Language Teacher Certification Program. please be certain to have your practice teaching forms filled in and signed by the appropriate school official and send the form to the NLIP office. This is a requirement for being awarded a Permanent Letter of Standing. We encourage all students who have been awarded the Permanent Letter of Standing to come back for the fourth year so they can retain the Native as a Second Language Diploma. In closing I would like 10 say that I have enjoyed working with all of you and look forwani to next year's program.

If Trent native Ianguge insttuctor Shirley Williams had not spent the last nine years recording the vocabulary of her native tongues, they might well have become Odawa-ba and Ojibwa-ba. The spectre of death of her languae and. with it. the dying of her culture, spurred the high school dropout to return to night school. Her personal mission became clear - to resUJTect the Odawa dialect (considered extinct) as spoken by her father and preserve Ojibwa used by her mother and extended family. "everyone of us when we are born is given a mission in life and the most important one is what you have done to help your community... says Williams. Hers became apparent in mid-life, after years of working in a Manitoulin hospital and translating for the doctors and nurses treating native people. An elder in her community approached her after a 1974 meeting to deal with an alanningly high suidide rate among the young people in her community. Parents had complained that their children could not speak their native language, did not know traditional values and no longer respected their elders. "You are a fluent speaker," the elder said to Williams. ''What are you doing about your language and culture?" Williams began upgrading courses at night, earned her high school certificate and enrolled in native studies at Trent. She graduated with her BA in 1983. In 1986, she took a native language instructors program at Lakehead University and was subsequently hired by Trent to teach native languages. Starting from scratch, she developed a curriculum and teaching materials. They form the basis of a 16,000-word Odawa/Ojibwa dictionary she is publishing - with the help of Trent's design staff and has successfully defended as her master's project at York University. She convocatcs June 11. Williams had more of a grounding in her parents' language then other children her age. her father refused to send her away to a residential school in Spanish, Ont. at the age of seven with the rest of her peers. He kept her home until she was 10 and in those three extra years made a concened effon to teach his daughter everything he knew about his language and culture. Sometimes. says Williams, he would say, "You do not know why I am saying this. Some day you will .know and understand." And, says Williams, unow I understand." When he finally had to relinquish her at age 10, he told her, "Do not forget your language. .. Odawa/Ojibwa dictionary was "a labor of love" The dictionary is the first to transcribe Odawa and Ojibwa dialects in a lexicography designed by Chuck Fiero, a linguist at Lakehead University. Missionaries attempted to translate the oral languae using Arabic symbols and phonetics, said Williams, but Fiero·s writing system captures more precisely the glottal stops, nasal sounds and other unique characteristics of the dialects. Williams undertook the project largely to provide a tool for native language teachers fluent in Ojibwa. It begins with a history of the Odawa and Ojibwa languages and their decline with the advent of European immigrants and government policies of assimilation. She explains the relation­ ship between language and culture and acknowledges previous efforts to transcribe Ojibwa. And she provides instruction on grammar and pronouciation. The words are listed under five environmental headings with subheads - Nature (birds, fish. * Let's get together as we care for the Native Language.• �trees, animals), Time (days, weather, numbers), Family (sickness, food, aboriginal regalia). Commu­ nity (geography, holidays, chores, buildings), and Recreation (spons, toys, music). "When I look at it now, it is a relief to finally accomplish something. I wanted to give back some­ thing to my community, to native people." Her work is not complete. Williams, 58, plans to expand the dictionary. And she has started to write Ojibwa stories that can be used i n teacher education and native languages classes. 28th ALGONQUIAN CONFERENCE TORONTO, 25-27 OCTOBER 1996 FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS The 28th Algonquian Conference will take place from 25-27 October 1996, at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario.

She is the first native woman to receive the award. "It truly is a great honor," said McRae in the modest, soft-spoken, confident manner that belies her strength as a leader. "It's incredible, a wonderful feeling. I'm not sure what I did to win this award.'' she said. Three separate groups submitted individual nomination papers for McRae, each listing page after page of McRae 's accomplishments, achievements and abilities. "We understand there may be more than one nomination filed for Lorraine," Sherry Lawson wrote to the judges. ''These were done independently of each other and w e did not paln it this way at all. We hope you'll look at it as it really is, not as poor communication but rather as various people from different walks of life and backgrounds, being of the same mind." "She's just one of the kindest, most competent women I know. She is a great problem-solver," Lawson told The Packet & Times. Lawson, an Ontario Justice of the Peace, said she would not be the person she is today doing what she is doing for a living were it not for Lorraine McRae. "People don't know the half of what she's been through, what she's encountered and how she has maintained her poise, dignity and continued to excel," said Ted Williams, coordinator of the Casino Rama project "She obviously is a person who is an excellent role model for young women and people in the community, not just aboriginal people," Williams said. McRae spoke to the audience of about 210 people at the award dinner at lhe Fem Resort. "When I was running for chief, it took a lot of courage, a lot of strength, believe me, and one of the gifts that a very dear elder shared with me when I was making my decision was, she said that the love that you have in your heart for the people is what will carry you through every day. She said that outweights any fear that you will have, and she was so right," McRae said. McRaejoins a distinguished list of winners of the annual award.

Principal for summer school Florrie L. Sutherland Aanii! Boozsho! As another summer of intensive learning and teaching of NSL is wind­ ing down, I would like to convey my reflections of Class 97. True, we have all worked hard, at one thing or another. Some infonnation, or psychologically speaking, "tbe organization of sensory input to comprehend the environment" is rather mind boggling that we begin to fret and worry. Take heed! There is a light at the other end ... home! sleeping in! and a diploma. I have had two enjoyable summers here, new acquaintances, new ideas and wow! the city, I'm out of isolation (not hospital). My AQ class of Diane Morgan, Laura James and B.J. Eachum have been a challenge and an inspiration. It is my sincere hope, that they acquired "something" to help them in their profession. Diane I will miss your bubbly character. Laura, you are a store-house of knowl­ edge, very quietly stored away. B.J. - slow down, the police are not always going to rescue you. The year four (4) methods class, you are exceptional. Each one of you have great potential to excel in the vast field of education. A unique bunch indeed, your sometimes quiet then boisterous behavior I will not easily forget (especially Ron's winking at me?). As we head in different directions next Friday (July 25), I will be heading for the East Coast for my vacation. Being in the north has allowed my husband and I to establish a friendship with Newfoundlanders, a truly wonderful group of people. Last summer when I left here I proceeded on to Alaska for the month of August. The highlight was back-packing on the Chillkoot Trail in Skagway. Teaching is wonderful! - you only work ten months, then you can holiday. Summer school? (you say)- well that's only for one month. Think positive, think$, it wiU be worth it all in the end.

We are here, we sit in each direction, Stand up and we will pray! Dream Maker Dream Maker roared a great thunder, For miles around I see, Selfishness and cruel living bodies. Trapped in a powerful mind, Without a heart, as I awoke. The message within the dream, Is to see what is in front of you, And to speak from the heart, There you'll find freedom and love. I prayed to the Dream Maker, To provide us with shelter, �To protect and keep us away, From the pain and suffering I have seen. This is my Dream Wish for all Dream Maker roared a great thunder, Lightning struck in front of me. Remember the Dream, Dream wisher, Everyday is a ceremony. "Wake", you are the Dream.

As soon as I wake up, WILL POWER helps me to get out of bed. Then I'll go down the hall and see JOHN, next CHARLIE HORSE comes along, and talces a lot of my time and attention. When he leaves ARTHUR ITIS shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day, I'm really tired and glad to relax with BEN GAY. What a life? The preacher came to visit me the other day. He said, at my age I should be thinking of the "hereaf­ ter". I told him , "Oh, but I do all the time" no matter where I am, in the livingroom, upstairs, in the kitchen or down in the basement! and then I ask myself "Now What AM I HERE AFfER" -source unknown Submitted by : Hilda Nadjiwan Year IV �Bmoscndarz Gda-mvcwill Bi11oojiinllyag Nji!

Miisago Wi ii �NAABOOB A long time ago when I was a little boy, I used to go and wait for our dog at the place where the forest began. I was about five years old at the time. I was very small. I must've seen the dog come out of there one time. Then I thought that was where he would be coming from when he came home. Our dog's name was "Naaboob." Translated, it means soup. I loved that dog very much. Naaboob was light brown, close to red, and his forehead was white down to his nose. He had long hair that bounced when he ran. He was a beautiful dog my Naaboob. I used to be really happy to see Naaboob come running out of the forest. He would come and jump on me as soon as he saw me; and I would grab him and hug him and play with him. Sometimes I sat there all day waiting for the dog to come home. My mother, and other people, tell me that is what I did all summer when I was a little boy of five. I was always worried about Naaboob. I loved that dog. One day, my dog did not come home. I waited and waited. but my Naaboob never came running out of the forest. My mother came and got me when it was to dark to wait any longer. I was so worried, I was close to tears. "Maybe he'll be here tomorrow," my mother tried to soothe me. "You can come back early in the morning to wait for Naaboob." I came back real early, as soon as there was light, the nex.t morning to wait for my beloved beautiful dog, Naaboob. I did this for four straight days, but Naaboob never showed up. Then I was told that my dog would never return. I cried hard that time. My little heart was broken. My mother made the tears stop with her loving and understanding ways. "Naaboob was an old dog," she told me as she wiped the tears from my babyish cheeks. "His time had come for him to answer the call of the AU Mighty. Don't cry, your dog i s doing just fine wher­ ever he might be." In time, the pain of losing my dog began to fade. But I missed my Naaboob even as I got older. I guess this is where I learned what loving others is all about. From that time on , I always tried to do what my mama and papa told me to do, for I knew they loved me. I love my parents, and I love my brothers and sisters. I learned about caring when I was a little boy from that beautiful dog who loved me. To this day, I stilJ visit the old place where I used to sit and wait for my dog to come running out of the woods. It looks different now, the trees have been cleared away to make room for community expansion. I am happy just standing there and remembering my dog. "Thank you," I whisper to that dog who showed me so much bout caring, "Naaboob!"

This past July, they perfonned at the Talent Night held in the Bora Laskin Auditorium at Lakehead University. The other place saw them at the Canada Jamboree '97 (Boy Scouts) Nahanni subcamp. Georgina Nowagaabo, "remarkably" emceed that performance. Considering the group has only met four times, both public performances were professionally done indeed. They were well received by their audiences. Their selections are varied, ranging from hand-drum songs to traditional. All of their "word" songs are sung.in their Anishnaabe language.

Be ready to do lots of studying and don't despair a new word we have heard every morning from a very cool professor. Those three weeks we were here have been here, the time moved quickly - too fast. I say good luck to all my fellow classmates and maybe somehere down the road our paths will cross. To all of the professors and associates, Chi­ meegwetch - I will take with me what I have learned i n the four years I've been here. Who know, I may be back. Pearl Waindubence The three weeks have gone by fast. The work has been a challenge. We have enjoyed this summer, we got to meet one another. Congratulations year 4, it was good to meet you all! Lucie Strang To all NLIP: I would like to thank aJl the staff of the NLIP program. Although it was a short time to accomplish all my goals, I still had a wonderful time with the teachers and the students. Chi Meegweech R.A. Mahgagahbow P.S. Thank Georgina Hello! I'm submitting a letter for the yearbook. My name is Darlene Mekanak and I'm from Webequie. I'm in year four this summer. I would like to say it was a stressful three week course we had but we survived. I also didn't really know all the other students in my class, only the ones I've been to classes with over the past 4 summers now. I hope to see everybody next summer if they decide to take additional courses. I'm hoping to do that myself. That's about all! Have a good summer! Thank you! Darlene Mekanak I enjoyed this course because it will help me in my classroom when I return to class in the fall. It will help me and be consisted with my students receiving different ideas from your course. Loma Indian Everyone was quiet but everyone was together. We had laughter and also hard times and then I felt sad because we will go our parting ways. But we'll have each other in our thoughts. To the teachers, we will miss, even if they sometimes overload us. We have good thoughts about them. Without them we would not be here and say "I did it, I am certified Native language teacher". Miigwech Sandra Corbiere �I really enjoyed having the Eastern group in our classroom. I learned their language better. And also appreciate the help I got from the students. Special thanks to the teachers that tolerated with me. Isadore Toulouse, Rand Valentine and Georgina Nahwegahbo. Many thanks Mary Morin I just want to comment on my personal thoughts on this year's course. Throughout this very rapid course I have gained some valuable knowledge from the very talented and patient educators. I really enjoyed Georgina's class. She was very helpful. In Randy's class I was amazed on how much he knew and spoke the Native language. But most of all I had a great time in Isadore's class. He was humorous and couldn't keep a straight face when he tried to be serious or act serious. Thanks a lot. Meegwetch Lena Wabason During the three weeks I came here with a lot of determination. I enjoyed staying with my family and friends. The Jong walks in the morning took effect on my blistered feet. I swear, I grew an inch with the callouses growing on my feet and losing a few inches on the waist. I've met new acquantances and what a good bunch of classmates we had at the end of our fourth year - the Gradu­ ates. Congratulations everyone. All the best for your careers and keep in touch. Monica Mabel Benson Determination We had a hard time on the road this summer. My daughter got sick the first day. Went to Sault Ste. Marie, came back to school and on the weekend we went down to see her and to get my car. Coming back we ran out of gas on the other side of Wawa. We hailed a car and eider's put me in to get to Wawa. I thought I was going to spend my 50th anniversary on the road. Irene Makakebin Nda-gnwaabiigis Nda-tkookaangoo Nzegis wii-tkookaangooyaanh Nzaazaagdeniweze Wenesh yaayaanh?

Back through the years I go wandering once again, Back to the season of my youth. Gii mkwendaan gdiiginshan Wiya gaa miigwedang Miinwaa mama gaa aabjitoodang. I recall a box of rags That someone gave to us, And how my mama put the rags to use. Bkaan endaandenoon gdiiginshan, Zaam giigachinoon. Gaawiin biiskawaagan diiyaasiin Dgwaagig aazhigwa. There were rags of many colours But every piece was small, And I didn't have a coat And it was way down in the fall. Mama gaa daadkogwaadang Kina gaa shkigwaadang zaagaan, Gii zhitood nooch enaandeg biiskawaagan Gaa chi nindmaan. Mama sewed the rags together, She sewed every stitch with love, And made my coat of many colours That I was so proud of. Nooch enaandeg biiskawaagan Mama gaa zhitood Gdgiiginshan eta gii aabjiyaan Aanwi dash biiskamaan chi nendmaan. My coat of many colours That my mama made for me, Made only from rags. But I wore it so proudly. Aanwi gaawiin zhoonya diiyaamin Aapchi gitwaawiz, Biiskamaan nooch enaandeg biiskawaagan Mama gaa zhitood. And though we had no money, I was rich as I could be, In my coat of many colours My mama made for me. Megwaa mama shkigwaaso gii dbaajmo Bible gaazha gindaasod, Naasaap biiskawaagan Joseph gaa biiskang, Miidash gii kido: As she sewed she told a story From the Bible she had read, About a coat of many colours Joseph wore, and then she said, "Gnimaa iw biiskawaagan gaa biinaan wenchishing," Aapchi wewiibtaadis nwii biiskamaan, Megwaa mam jlindang. "Perhaps this coat will bring you good luck and happiness." And I couldn't wait to wear it As she blessed it with a kiss. �Ezhi bgoneyaawaad miiknod, Bgoneyaa mkzinan, Geye nooch enaandeg biiskawaagan Gii bmiptoo kinomaagegaming. So with patches on my britches And holes in both my shoes, And my coat of many colours I hurried off to school. Miigo eta binojiinyag baapwag Miinwaa gii dagigo, Biiskamaan nooch enaandeg biiskawagan Mama gaa zhitood. Just to find the children laughing And making fun of me In my coat of many colours That my mama made for me. Gaawin genii gii nistadsiin Aapchi genii chi waandiz Gii wiindrnoowaag zaagidwin Kina maa mama gaa shkigwaadang. And I didn't understand it For I felt that I was rich. And I told them of the love That mama sewed in every stitch. Miinwaa gii wiindrnowaag gaa dbaajmod Mama megwaa skigwaasod. Miinwaa miigo eta nooch enaandeg Biiskawaagan epiitendaagod. And I told them all the story Mama told me as she sewed. And how my coat of many colours Was worth mor than all their gold. Aanwi dash kaa nistaadsiinaawaa, Gaawiin waabndansiinawaa, Miigo eta wiya gdamaagozi Giishpin ndawendang. But they did't understand it And I tried to make them see That one is only poor If they choose to be. Aanwi gaawiin zhoonyaa diiyaamin Aapchi mnwaabmewdagos, Biiskamaan nooch enaandeg biiskawaagan Mama gaa zhitood. And though we had no money I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours That mama made for me. Geyaabi mnobimaadiz Mnwaabmewziwin diiyaan, Miisa kina go wenchishing Miigo gii yaamaan. Gaawiin gego naapsaap epiitendaagod Ezhi mkwenmaan mama, Miinwaa nooch enaandeg biiskawaagan Mama gaa zhitood. Through life l've remained happy And good 1uck is on my side. I have everything that anyone Could ever want from life. But nothing is as precious As my mama's memory, And my coat of many colours That mama made for me. These words were chosen to fit the song. �Niiwo Nikeying Namewin (The Four Directions Prayer) Gchi-miigwech Gzemnidoo, Mishoomsinaa Ngaa bgidnaa semma ji-miigwechendmaa.

We thank you for the drum, the heartbeat of Mother Earth, shkag-Mikwe. Gzemnidoo, Nmishoomsinaa, I now ask for the gifts of the FOUR DIRECTIONS. To the East WABNONG nikeying, the direction of a new day, the place of new beginnings, here courage is born and truthfulness begins and as each one travels to each direction, I pray that you will be their guide in all they do, be their hope, be their comfort, be their reason for tomorrow. To the South ZHAAWNONG nikeying (zhaa means to go), this is the place that holds the wannth of sum­ mer, a place of preparation, preparing for the future, of getting ready for the days ahead, I pray, now is their moment, it is their time to stand boldly in the sun with both feet firmly planted upon Mother Earth, to get ready to fly and to soar like EAGLES. I pray that they will take the knowledge gained here and use it to further expand their personal and profes­ sional growth. Give them strength, keep them well, physicalJy, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. To the West EPGNISHMONG meaning to fall, the direction of the unkown, the place of testing, where sometimes the will is stretched to the outer limits, here the west reminds us the WISDOM of maturity along with the approach of the red and purple sunsets. I ask for strength and courage to endure any hardships that may come along on this journey, as each one faces chaJlenges, some that could be very hard and painful. You did not promis us a quiet journey, only a safe arrival. Teach us to be patient, by Jiving one day at a time, so that our eyes may ever behold the red and purple sunsets. To the North GIIWEDNONG, giiwe meaning to go home, this is the place of winter, of white snows that remind us of the white hair of our ELDERS, it is the dawning place of true WISDOM, it is the direction of completion, fulfillment and of moving forward. Guide us, direct us that we may all come to know the sacred road of PEACE, WISDOM and LOVE. As the FEATHER, MIIGWAN symbolizes life, I now tum to the FOUR DIRECTIONS to say Miigwech, Miigwech, Miigwech, Miigwech.............. . May you always walk in the sun .....

Myths. and Legends in Today's Native Society. I have taken the liberty to do some editing of this excerpt. Anyone wishing to read the whole essay can leave a messag� in the Native Language Instructors' (NLIP) office for me and I wi]] make it available. The colonization of our language and teachings happens in translation. To explain this let us look at "man" and "woman". In English a "man" is basica11y an adult male human being and a "woman" is a female adult human being. In Ojibway we say "nini" for man and "kwe" for "woman". In creation everyone has their natural gifts that means; the finned ones, the winged ones, the four legged ones, the two ]egged ones, etc, so too, the male and female of that particular "one". The gift of "kwe" is to bring forth life, to nurture that life. When we say broke off or break off, for instance, we say "bkweskaa"; something has broken off or broken in two. When a woman gives birth, she becomes two, therefore, she is "kwe". The gift of "nini" is to provide for her. When we say "hand over" or "pass it over" we would say "bi-ninan". When a "nini" provides for his family he hands or passes over food or safety it to his wife. Nini is like the sun and provides for kwe, and kwe is like mother earth because she reproduces what the sun gives her because without light and water she would die. That is why males are fire keepers and females bear the water at ceremonies and sacred fires that is also why Native language is indicative of the Native world-view. When Native literature is printed in English a11 of that holistic world view is lost and so is identity. Native literature has the potential to decolonize and, paradoxically, to colonize that fragile connection with creation, as is mentioned above, the focus is not on creation or animism but on what man has created or can exploit. The exploitation of creation and recreating can propagate individualism which is in contrast to the Native world view which is collectivist in nature. Native literature (narratives, myths, or legends) can facilitate the acquisition of First Nations languages and restore the Native literature itself to its original holistic integrity. However the narratives, myths, or legends must be translated from English, which is the form that most people get them today and, unfortunately, how many First Nation (F.N.) students get them on and off reserve, this is a result of the publishing industry. The publishing process and the appropriation of voice are major factors which impede the decolonization of First Nations literature; Ponting elaborates on these: To raise issues of the appropriation ofvoice is also to question the existing power structure... that in tum, raises the question as to who is being denied the opportunity, not only to publish, but even to amass a "track record" in the field? Of related concern is the question as to whose standards are the ones that a publisher orjournal editor uses in choosing who will be asked to review a manuscript for publication consideration? Then what standards will those reviewers apply? 1 The colonizers have power over what gets printed. They favour a particular style of writing concerning Native literature, this particular style has to sound "Indian". This is generally known as ghettoisation; a work by a Native writer has difficulty in getting published if the work NLIP 2000 Orien Corbiere 0006795 �does not sound "Indian" enough, this facilitates colonization ofthe teachings, creation myths (myth is a western concept), ceremonies etc. The colonizers favour a methodology, which is rooted in western philosophy, for the legitimatization of information - in order to be taken seriously one must be an authority on a given subject; one must hold a doctorate, for example, for a work to be of any consequence. Ponting has this to say about the appropriation of voice in relation to scientific methodology as a means of being an authority: The issue of appropriation of voice is a multi-faceted one. At one level it is about epistemology, the method or grounds of knowledge. As a means of knowing, sociologists value empirical research that can be replicated. The scientific method is sometimes held up as an ideal in this regard ... Academics of any stripe, not just sociologists, also value book knowledge.2 Who is an authority on Native Literature? Native literature is not recognized by the academic community as a legitimate form of literature and yet Native literature is exploited by non-Native writers and publishers. Non-Native writers and publishers publish books that are supposedly authoritative on Native literature and, whether it is unintentional or intentional, they inject a cultural bias in the translation; that is, they present Native literature that reflects a western/Christian consciousness. Jarold Ramsey writes a discussion on this is subject,: ... traditional literatures of the American Indian is compromised by a longstanding reliance on corrupted and unauthentic texts, this unhappy state of affairs is especially true for creation and origin myths. Every form of textual debasement known can be illustrated, I think, in the fate of these stories at the hands of Anglo writers and editors over the years... There has always been a pronounced tendency, for example, to render Native cosmogonies as versions of Judeo-Christian Genesis, leaving out much that is distinctively "Indian"... In particular, editors and redactors have been guilty of cultural bias in silently eliminating the erotic, bawdy, and playful elements of the Indian creation stories... 3 In closing, Native literature has been colonized to a considerable extent but F.N. still have fluent speakers in F.N. country and language is threatened but F.N. people are taking control of their dilemma and every year, new groups ofF.N. language speakers emerge. Many First Nations periodicals are distributed throughout this country and some are written in their F.N. language, many if not all, include F.N. literature written in various orthographies to represent the F.N. languages. Many F.N. communities have their own community channel on cable and aboriginal programming appears in other forms, such as, nationally broadcast programs like the recently developed Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN); there are others such as this. Being pro-active in the decolonization of Native literature (narratives, myths, or legends) and other unfinished business is a vast undertaking which requires the cooperation of the whole oflndian country. First Nations people still have their literature and language, and if they are to heal the wounds of the past, it will require F.N. people to be as the classic Anishinaabe/F.N. people have been before them; to be of a collectivist mentality, looking after one another as the Great Mystery has arranged it. Further on the subject of First Nations literature, there are many contemporary Native writers who are writing books that range from the political to Native life to poetry to healing and many of these are being published and distributed by First Nations NLIP 2000 Orien Corbiere 0006795 �organizations; so it seems that First Nations people are reclaiming their literature and reconstituting their identity. Finally, Native language programs and classes need to be administered in a manner that is unlike the standard provincial system, there is a Native pedagogy and it involves holistic teaching but more on that later.

We made a lot of friendships that will endure for a long time. We thank all the teachers for their help and for putting up with all our complaints. (Let's just chalk it up as part of the learning process). As we venture out into our own communities, we will remember our peers and instructors and what we learned during our summers here. We will remember the great support we received when it was needed. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

It is then decorated or what our people would refer to as "dressing the staff' . l,Ve treat the Eagle Staffas our Grandfather and dress it in the finest material that is available. In some cases the carrier of the staff dreams or has a vision of how the staff wants to be dressed. The Eagle Staff is the first to enter the dance area and will oversee everything that takes place. We believe that the Eagle Staff has a spirit and helps bring our prayers and feelings to the Great Spirit. The Eagle Staff is often carried by a veteran of one of the conflicts our people have served or engaged in. It is one of the responsibilities of which our veterans are honoured. The Feathers are considered warriors. This is one of the reasons that a veteran has the responsibility of watching over them and the Staff.
