�N .L.I.P.
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

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.

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.

�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

�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

Mii Sa Minnwaa, Ngoding!
Mii sa miinwaa, ngoding gii-giishtoonying waa-gchi-naad-maagying.
Mii sa miinwaa ngocling gii-waamdaying
Mii sa miinwaa ngocling bedbik gii-nmadbiying. zhibiigeying

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!

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.

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!

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,

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.

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.

Well, we f'mished another great and busy summer. We will not forget what we have accomplished,
what we learned and what w e experienced. 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.
In the Spirit of our Anishnaabe languages,

I

Well the time here at Lakehead has sure gone by quickly. The student council has worked hard
selling tickets, T-shins and mugs. I say Gchi-miigwech to all of them and to all volunteers who
helped out in these various activities.
Some activities that involved student council were 50/50 tickets, potlucks, craft fair, mini pow-wow,
baseball games and best of all the Graduation Dinner's Dance.
It was a pleasure to sit on student council the past four years and I hope it continues to grow each
year with more and exciting new activities for you.

The student council for July 1995 were:

The end of a program is always a time of reflection.
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.

The Being
I sit here in my office looking at all that is around me. 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.

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.

This prayer was given to me over 4 years ago by my best friend Caroline Pheasant who
passed away on Dec. 12, 1992. I went through some very rough times four year ago.My
friends got together for some prayers and feast I bad put this on her memorial card.
Recently my dad Ambrose Kitchckeg passed away on June 14, 1995. I also put this on
his memorial card. Caroline's family and I wanted to get this copyrighted before memo­
rial cards. We will do something about it when I get back home. To let it be known also
that she was a good poe� and a good artist and that she was a very talented young
woman.Most of all my best friend

ToMabel Benson:
For all us here today. let us join in all our thoughts. feelings, and emotions. Gathering
here is a way of showing each other we care. Friendship is a way our people have lived
for many years. With the respect of the Great Spirit we have traveled many miles and
touched many hearts.
We show our friendship to our brothers and sisters by shaking hands or a hug and most
important giving a very caring friendship.

As we travel with the Great Spirit here onMother Earth, let us protect her and show her
that our strength is not lost. Our individual path of life is our lesson to show our strength.
Our path may be rough at times but with all our strengths as one we can over come our
obstacles.
Our feelings that we share for each other teach us to grow and learn to have respect for
our past and respect for our future.
Let us be thankful for the People we are with and the precious time we get to spend
together.
The purification of the sweet grass awakes our weaknesses.

�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.

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.
Yours very sincerely,
HisMother

Today
Outside my window, a new day I see
and only I can determine.
what kind of day it will be.
It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,
or boring and cold, unhappy and gray.
My own state of mind is the determining key.
for I am only the person I let myself be.
I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,
or be selfish and think just of myself.
I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,
or gripe and complain and make it
hard on someone.
I can be patient with those who may
not understand,
or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.
But I have faith in myself,
and believe what I say,
and I personally intend to make
the best of each day.

�Coordinator's Message...
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.

�Williams gives new life to a dying language
,
In Algonkian dialects Odawa and Ojibwa. appending "ba . to a noun signals that that person,
place or thing is dead. gone, kaput. 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.

�Chief Wins Another First
by Cathy Carter
The Packet &amp; Times

Chief Lorraine McRae has added another first to her life last nighL
The first female chief of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation won the Nelle Caner Woman of
the Year Award, presented annually by lhe Orillia Business Women's Association.
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 &amp; 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. Past winners \
are Pat Hehn, Audrey Rodger, Lucy Stewart, Phyllis Roberts and Sandi

�Words of Wisdom

"Nishaabe Bmaadziwin" is not a ritual or a
tradition practised just occassionally, it is
being at One. at peace with your Spirit. Mind
and Body.
It is a Way of Life.
Be proud of who you are and do not
be afraid to reach out for your
dreams. Our Elders are Bearers of
Wisdom. They will guide us to
a better future. Listen to them!
They are in touch with
Nature and the
Great Spirit.
by Rose

Do not make fun of your fellow human being or your mouth will catch up with you.
