Beardy Booshoo, Waachiye, Aniin to all of you. Welcome to the latest issue of the NLIP newsletter. We are doing our best to offer two issues of the NLIP newsletter annually that will be submitted to you, NLIP students, electronically. In each issue, you will find information pertaining to Native Languages and Native Language Education. Feel free to pass it on to others. The past 2011 NLIP Summer School was a success and it was great to see many people achieve their goals. In the fall of 2011, I have been busy attending conferences and doing some research for Native Languages Immersion programming. I participated in an Indigenous Languages Institute symposium entitled "Immersion for all Environments" in Albuquerque, NM. It was a two day conference discussing the Native language immersion programs and its successes across Canada and the United States. A lot of networking resulted from this gathering. I also had an opportunity to visit an Immersion school in the state of Arizona while I was in the area. The Tse'hootsooi Dine' Bi'olta' is a Navajo immersion school located in Fort Defiance, Arizona. I felt very welcomed by the administration and staff of the school. I observed in classrooms and briefly spoke to teaching staff. It was so wonderful to see and hear the children speak in their Native language and many of them wearing their traditional Navajo clothing. More recently, I visited the Niigaane Ojibwe Immersion School at Leech Lake Indian Reservation in Minnesota. This visit was to do some research and get an idea how the immersion school operates and its' function, the role of the teachers and the community. I also attended the "Circle of Light - Learning Together for Student Success" conference in Toronto. This is a First Nation, Metis and Inuit Education conference put on jointly by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development and Ministry of Education. Approximately 1000 participants attended this conference. While at this conference, the Chair of the Aboriginal Education Department and I met with Ontario College of Teachers representatives to discuss some of the issues NLIP students have told us about. It was a very positive and productive meeting and we hope this will alleviate some obstacles that you are facing. We will continue to work with OCT and resolve the issues that we experience. .....Continues on page 2 ' · 'Ii • { A 'IP". � _.,1 ........., �...continued from page 1 Lakehead University, Aboriginal Education Department also co­ hosted with the Ontario College of Teachers a "Conversation Circles to Support the Development of Additional Qualification Guidelines for Teaching First Nations Students". There were approximately 30 participants of Ojibwe and Oji-Cree speakers at this gathering. Out of this conversations, teaching immersion Native languages was a big topic. The Cree speakers held their own conversations in their territory with OCT. We are hoping to offer a course Teaching Native Language Immersion to our NLIP students for 2012 summer. This course will fall under the NLIP Summer Institute program and is designed for Native Language teachers who have completed the NLTC or the NASL Diploma programs. For more information, you can call me directly at 1-807-343-8003 or e­ mail: bbeardy@lakeheadu.ca. We feel it Is Important to remind people of the description of the Native Language Instructors' Program (NLIP), Its objectives and other programs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5, 6. 7. 8. Description of the Program The Native Language Instructors' Program (NLIP) at Lakehead University is the only program in Ontario with a mandate from the Ontario College of Teachers to provide teacher certification in Algonquian languages. Established in 1984, the purpose of NLIP is to provide persons who are fluent in their native language with a recognized (in accordance with the Ministry of Education) means of teaching that language to their respective communities. In other words, NLIP serves largely as a school that educates students in a relatively standardized method of instruction, which is applied to traditional languages. By no means restrictive, NLIP provides a learning environment that respects, encompasses and promotes traditional teaching practices and beliefs. NLIP also provides courses to those persons who wish to become fluent in a particular language. Students for the Native Language Instructors' program apply from across Ontario and other regions; once accepted they have an opportunity to earn a teaching certificate or diploma. The program is offered in the month of July for three or four summers. The purpose of the Native Language Instructors' Program is to increase the number of Native language teachers through summer programs, which will prepare them to teach Native Languages as described in Ontario Ministry of Education regulations. The program provides the students the study of the structure of the Native language, pedagogical principles, methods and techniques for teaching Native Languages. Course requirements are met through a combination of courses and student teaching. the students will have understanding of the underlying structure of their language and will have developed literacy skills; the �udents will have a knowledge of methods and techniques for teaching Native As A Second Language; the students will have an understanding of practical pedagogical principles that will help them work within the context of the school, with administrators, teachers, students, and the community; the students will successfully complete a combination of observation and teaching experience; the students will have gained knowledge of the traditional teachings and values inherent in Native languages and culture; to maintain the survival of the Native language and culture; that the NLIP students have outlined for them the traits, skills and habits of a successful university student; that the NLIP students be trained in and measured by a single teaching formula and a common lesson planning and evaluation format; that NUP provide to its students the means to develop traits, skills and habits of a successful university !s'tlldent. Anishinaabemowin Gikino'amaadiiwigamig �Native Language Teacher's Certification A three summer program for the month of July; training in teaching Native as a second language to students whose first language is English. The Certification Program is designed for individuals who want to teach a Native Language as a second language in a primary or secondary school. It focuses on developing skills required for second language teaching. The curriculum is designed for students who enter the program with an Algonquian Language background. Admission to the NLTC Program Students will be admitted to the program provided that they meet both of the following: (a) Native language requirement of the course to which the candidate wishes to be admitted. i.e. for both NASL/NLTC - fluently speak a native language.

Anishinaabemowin Gikino'amaadiiwigamig �- --- �-- ----�---- Native as a Second Language for Non-fluent Speakers NLTC student graduates wishing to enter the fourth year of the NASL diploma may do so providing that they complete all the NLIP requirements. NASL on-campus courses consists of: Algonquian 2233, Education 1354, and Education 1574. Education 1599 is a supervised fall and winter practicum, off-campus, in the fourth year of the Native Language Instructors' Program and is a required course to complete six prescribed assignments. Upon successful completion of the Fourth Year or NASL Program, student is awarded a Lakehead University Native as a Second Language Diploma and can attend the Lakehead University Convocation. Each summer, two Advanced Native Language and/or Linguistic courses are offered to students who have graduated from both NLTC and NASL programs wishing to extend their knowledge and do research in the area of their specialty as well as to any person similarly qualified. For 2012 NLIP Summer Session these courses are being offered: Native language 2711 Introduction to Native American linguistics A survey of the native languages of North America: present situation, historical relationships, sound systems, grammatical structures, geographic and social variation, writing systems and language maintenance. The basic principles of descriptive and historical linguistics will be introduced. Native language 3811 Special Topic I A half course on a selected topic. (Possibly an Immersion course.) The courses in this series are intended for students who wish to learn either Ojibwe or Cree, and are not normally intended for students already fluent in one of these languages. These Ojibwe and Cree courses are usually offered through-out the year including spring and summer and depending on the student enrollment. Some of these courses are cross listed with Indigenous Learning. Ojibwe as a Second Language Lakehead University offers introductory courses in two of the main dialect variants found in Ontario. Severn Ojibwe (sometimes also referred to as 'Oji-Cree,' and as Anihshininiimowin in the language itself) is the primary dialect spoken in much of Ontario north of the Berens River. It is frequently written using the traditional syllabic writing system; a wide variety of orthographic traditions, both alphabetic and syllabic, are used in Ojibwe dialects. Western Ojibwe refers to the dialects of Ojibwe spoken in communities from approximately Sault Ste. Marie in the east, along the north shore of Lake Superior, and through the Lake of the Woods area. Severn Ojibwe Courses include: Introduction to Severn Ojibwe Part I and Part II. Intermediate Ojibwe Advanced Ojibwe Western Ojibwe Courses include: Introduction to Western Ojibwe Part I and Part II. Cree as a Second Language Introduction to Cree Part I and Part II are normally offered through out the year but is dependent on the student enrollment. �The Native Language Minor Students at Lakehead University may obtain a Minor in Native Languages by taking an appropriate series of courses. NLIP Linguistic Community Residence A) The first is intended for fluent speakers of a Native language (usually Ojibwe or Cree). With the cooperation of the Lakehead University Residence and Conference Services, townhouses for NLIP students are set a side for the month of July each summer. The residence provides atmosphere conducive to serious study and encourages the use of the Native language to the greatest extent. Parents are responsible for children in the residence community and on campus. B) The second is intended for individuals who wish to learn a Native language, or to improve their fluency in a Native language. NLIP Residence Coordinator and Assistant are available to provide services day and evenings including weekends on­ site at the residence. An overall average of 60% is required in three courses chosen in consultation with the Coordinator, NLIP program. NLIP Elders Program There are two paths for obtaining the Native Language Minor. Program Requirements for Fluent Speakers The following sequence of courses is recommended for �tudents who are fluent in Ojibwe or Cree. 1) The equivalent of ONE full first year" ALGO" course. This requirement may be satisfied by taking ALGO 1212 and ALGO 1232 (Note: these courses are normally offered during the summer session only). 2) The equivalent of TWO full courses beyond the first year level. This may be met by taking a combination of"ALGO" courses and/or" NALA" courses. In consultation with the NLIP coordinator, special combinations of courses may be designed. Program Requirements for Second Language Learners and Non-Fluent Speakers The following sequence of courses is recommended for students who are learning Ojibwe or Cree. 1) The equivalent of ONE full first year"OJIB" or "CREE" course.

If you were an NLTC (Year 1 , 2 and 3) student last summer, you may proceed to register on-line for the NLTC summer courses. Year 3 NLTC students who wish to do an additional year for year 4 or NASL Diploma program may also proceed to register on-line. Since many of you were able to register your courses on-line last year, this should be a little bit more easier. If you are unsure which courses you should register, please refer to your transcripts. The "ALGO" year 1 and 2 courses are a bit tricky as you will need to know which section of the ALGO course you took last year and must register the same section for second year students, i.e. for Cree speakers you took ALGO 1 21 2 AC and can register for ALGO 1 232 AC; for western Oji-Cree speakers; ALGO 1 21 2 AA for 1 232 AA; eastern Ojibwe speakers AB; and for western speakers AD. For returning first year NLTC students, ALGO 1 232 AA/AD sections of Western Ojibwe and Western Oji-Cree may be combined for the 201 2 Summer session as is the first year ALGO 1 21 2 AA/AD sections.

Not really knowing the an­ swer, the chief replies that the winter was going to be cold and that the members of the village were to collect wood to be prepared. Being a good leader, he then went to the nearest phone booth and called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter to be cold?" The man on the phone responded, "This winter was going to be quite cold indeed." So the Chief went back to speed up his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?" "Yes," the man re­ plied, "its going to be a very cold winter." So the Chief goes back to his people and orders them to go and find every scrap of wood they can find. Two weeks later he calls the National Weather Service again and asks "Are you absolutely sure, that the winter is going to be very cold?"

Another summer has come and gone. What a busy summer it was and enjoyable. I trust that everyone is off to a great start for the school year. I have full confidence that you will do AWE­ SOME in whatever it is you set to do this year at work, community and home. Be sure to apply what you have learn this summer and BE SUCCESSFUL. --=�����=---E l! ea. Cl l! A u 0 •- 2 • C Cl Cl :::, Cl C !I •z ·-i This year planning for the 25th NLTC celebration was worth it. The events of the day on July 10th were successful. Kichi Miigwech to Helen Roy for her wonderful Ojibwe tunes and John Fletcher and friends who had us square dancing. Miigwech to the guys who carried the boxes into the ATAC building and got the giveaways organized on the table and my Miigwech goes out to the faculty lecturers who facili­ lated the workshops and to everyone else who was involved. Kichi Miigwech to the student support workers, student council representatives, associate teachers, fac­ ulty and to all who contributed to the graduation dinner and dance fundraising. This year was the most we've fundraised for the event and we have some money remaining to make a deposit for the NLIP 2010 hall rental. BRAVO!!! In closing, I want to acknowledge my honouring ceremony at the graduation dinner. It was a surprise and it's been my pleasure working for NLIP and to have worked with/for the staff/faculty and students. God bless you as you endeavor to save the Native Languages and may our paths cross someday. Again I ask if you would like to contribute any teaching ideas, resources or a lesson plan, even your fa­ vorite recipe(s) or NLIP memory, upcoming conferences that you are aware of, Please send them to the NLIP office via postal service or email to dmaybee@lakeheadu.ca. Sincerely, Charlotte Neckoway, Coordinator, NLIP IA Message from the Principal It has been awesome and rewarding for the Faulty to see students and our children graduate from NLIP. It was so beautiful to see many students stay behind to receive their certificates. I have asked the Year 1 students to listen and write down five expressions example: what'z up, cool, right on, high five, as if , etc that they hear from students in school or in their community. Write down the expression in English and translate in the Native Language. When they return to Lakehead University, we will write them and have a discussion about the expressions. I would like the Year 2 students to do the same. I will do the same here in my school and community . Students that are not employed with the school and want to do their 20 hours, please contact the school and show them the paper of your 20 hour contact days. The copy of the 20 hour contact days are in the blue student handbook. Students that may have any questions may contact me through my work email: florrie.sutherland@clfn.on.ca Have a wonderful summer and winter. I had a wonderful time teaching the students. Taking one step at a time in my grieving of my Dad and I thank everyone for their support in my time of need.

'l \ The class was already seated and ready to go when the pro­ fessor picked up his chair, plopped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semes­ ter, prove that this chair does not exist." Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. Some students wrote over 30 pages in one hour at­ tempting to refute the existence of the chair. One member of the class however, was up and finished in less than a minute. Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten an A when he had barely written anything at all.

Within the next two years It expanded and developed into what became I.A.B's- On­ tario Regional NA<>L 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 become a part of University life, and institute courses are now offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Education. In July 1984 the Ministry of Education for the province of Ontario announced Its new policy re­ garding Native Language Education. Through the winter of 1984 and 1985 Ministry officials met with Lakehead University personnel to establish a Native Teachers Certification program leading to a letter of standing after three summers of work. In the summer of 1985, the first "certification· program began with the Algonquian group continuing at Lakehead. The Iroquoian group joined Lakehead In 1991. July 1986 saw the first 23 students receive their permanent letter of standing from the Ontario Ministry of Education as certified Algonquian Second Language Teachers. In July 1991 the first graduat­ ing class of the AQ Program for the holders of an Ontario Teaching certificate consisted of 9 teachers. By 1991 enrollment in the various NLIP programs has soared to 227. 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 oper­ ated for Ontario's Native people, students from other parts of Canada and from the United States have come to us for training. We have appreciated the contribution they have made to our broadening understanding of Native Language education. It is our hope that both NLIP and the Institute will continue to grow and prosper and that they may become Increasingly a source of practical assistance to Native Language Education in Ontario and beyond.

The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies and potentially bil­ lions of planets.
