Language carries with it the spirit, culture, history and philosophy of a people . It is the principal means by which culture is preserved and transmitted from one generation to another. An NSL program will enable students to receive instruction in a N~tive language from Kindergarten to Grade 12. School boards will be expected to provide an NSL program in the school year 1987-88 wherever: fifteen students have requested instruction in a Native language; and a qualified Native language teacher is available. Where a school board can organize a program with fewer than fifteen students, it may do s o. Native languages have a l~gitimate place in the curriculum of Ontario Schools ; Native languages will therefore, be taught during the regular school day. Grants and other financial incentives will be provided to assist school boards in the implimentation of the NSL program. Parents and other members of Native communities who wish local schools to offer an NSL program should contact their local school board.

Available from - National Clearing House for Bilingual F.ducation, 1300 Wilson Boulevard, Suite B211, Arlington, VA 22209, The fact thdt some people learn a second language more easily than others has prompted nunerous studies designed to link one factor or another with successful language learning. This work examines a large mnber of these studies to assess the importance of various factors involved in language learning. 'The influencing factors suggested are grouped into three categories; personal, situational and linguistic factors. Considered first is the particular set of personal characteristics each individual brings to the task of learning a second language. These include general intelligence, language aptitude, attitude and motivation, Psychological traits, age, socioeconomic status, and sex. The variety of learning situations is then discussed. Situational factors include the set• ting in which the language is learned and the amount and distribution of time devoted to it. In addition, if the language is learned foi:mally, tllfl l!IE!,~ used and the characteristics of the teacher nrust be considered. Finally linguistic factors are examined. These include both the differences between both the first and second languages and the characteristics of the second language itself. for teachcrs of Algom1uian: F.tntlty of Education Laki:hcad Uni vcrsit y Thunder Uay, Ontario 1'711 SEI For tcachcrs of Iroquoian: f-aculty of Education The University of Western Omario London, Omario N6G IG7 Cultural Education Centres Woodland Indian Cultural and Education Centre Box 1506 Brantford, Ontario N3T5V6 OJtbway-C rcc: Cultural Centre 252 Third Avenue Tunnnns, Ontano P4N 1E3 LJkc of the Woods OJibway Cultural Centre Box 1720 Kcnor.1, Ontario P9N3X7 Oiibwc Cultural Foundation E~cclsior P.O.

"Heritage Research Centre at Waterloo," Northline, v6 n4 pS, October 1986 . For the second year, a gr ~vp of young Inuit from across Canada, Greenland and Alaska gathered for two weeks this summerat a small isolated camp of stone houses and tents by the shore of Ikpik Bay on Baffin Island's west coast. This camp was established and funded by the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada as part of their Youth Council's program. The 35 young men and women who attended the camp ate lots of caribou and char, listened to stories told by elders, listened to talks about how things were back in the SO's and 60's, and discussed problems that they as young people face today. Daily workshops and group discussions focu55e.d on topics such as living in a two culture world, family life, education, employment and unemployment, depression, drugs and alcohol and the factors eroding the use of traditional language . The re were four Inuit elders at the camp, as well as ITC president Rhonda Innuksuk and David Owingayak, director of Cultural and Traditional Affairs at the Inuit Cultural Institute. (ITC has offices in Ottawa and Frobisher Bay; ICI is in Eskimo Point.) Traditional activities and learning about the past were a major part af the two weeks at the camp. Elders showed the youth how to build a kayak, how to make traditional seal oil lamps, how to play string games and how to skin and butcher caribou. As well, the youths hunted caribou and seal, and prepared traditional foods. For many of those at the camp, it was their first opportunity to meet young people from other Arctic countries. They soon found out that they had more in common than they realized. Markoosie Onalik of Frobisher Bay said he was surprised to learn that he and an Alaskan youth even shared 1the same surname. Inuit Tapirisat was represented at the ACUNS meetings in Yellowknife last April,where they presented a paper and, among ot~er things, discussed the Youth Councils and Ikpik camp. A paper, "Bridging the Gap: the Need for N~w,. Approaches to Northern Research and Education , by ITC special consultant Robert Higgins will be included in the Proceedings of the Yellowknife meetings. An excellent series of illustrated articles on Youth Councils and Ikpik, including personal reflections by Deborah Evaluarjuk of lgloolik, appeared in ~he Fall 198~ issue (No. _61) of Inuktitut magazine, published by Indian and Northern Affairs. Readers interested or involved in heritage research and preservation (natural and cultural) should be aware of the Heritage Research Centre at the University of Waterloo. This centre is designed to encourage heritage resources research, education and the exchange of information among a wide range of participating universities, governments and private groups.

A fresh reprint of a precious long-lost book by Frederic Baraga is making its way to the desks of such students. The original book was printed in Paris, France In 1837. Through the persevering efforts of a fonner Jesuit missionary of Northern Ontario and the very effective collaboration of a number of Anishinabeg of Thunder Bay Region, a short run of 1000 copies came off the printing press last spring in Penetanguishene, Ontario. . It is a lovely book in BxlO format of some seventy pages in a maroon flexi-cover embossed with a simple cross and the name Jesus. The full title of the book is Jesus O Bimadisiwin Oma Aking (Jesus ' Life on Earth). and contains a superb collection of Gospel readings in Ojibway. Distribution has been undertaken by the editor Fr. A. Schretlen on a hand to hand basis. Fr. Schretlen is willing to demonstrate the book and introduce future teachers of the Ojibway language to its treasures. Contact: Fr, A.

Unfortunately, she doesn't know as yet, when the guideline will be released. Let's all keep hoping for the best! Consultants - Three NLiT /NLIP grads have been appointed as consultants to assist in the implementation of the guideline. Ruth Isaac will be working with Iroquoian programs and Rubina Naogizic and Lena White with Algonquian programs out of the Thunder Bay and Sudbury offices respectively. Congratulations, and best wishes to all three of you! NLIP Registrations - 1987 To date, we've received a total of 40 applications for our summer programs, 1987. Of these 10 are first year applicants for the Native Language Teacher Certification program . There are a total of 30 places available for first year; so if you know of someone who is planning to apply, but has not yet done so, do urge them to get their application in the mail as soon as possible. Coordinator Visits Schools Mary Mitchell spent the week of March 2 - 6 visiting schools in Sault Ste Marie and Chapleau. From these visits, the following notes may be of interest: Sault Ste Marie - Elizabeth Schuchert has been teaching Ojibwe at East View Public School since December. Next week, she'll turn the work over to Sharon Boissoneau who is returning after maternity leave. (Congratulations, Sharon!) One of the classes Elizabeth is teaching has been working on the formation of sentences that include: a bug: snake, frog. mosquito, butterfly, bee, etc. a season: spring, fall, winter, summer a verb: spin-a-web, slither, fly, walk, etc. a locative: through the grass, on the window, etc. a colour: yellow, black, red, etc . For example: "The yellow snake slithers through the grass in the spring." The class has some interesting bulletin board displays depicting these bugs and colours on the wall in their little Ojibwe language classroom, and seem to be having lots of fun with the program. Marva Moilala accompanied Mary Mitchell on her visit to Elizabeth. Marva will be teaching NASL, parts one and three thi s summer, and wanted to get an orientation into Ojibwe L2 education. Marva fitted right into the activities, learned a little Ojibwe, and shared a couple of excellent suggestions . We're looking forward to working with her in July. Chapleau - Unfortunately, because of bad flying weather, Mary didn't get to Chapleau when she was supposed to. By the time she did arrive, Theresa Memegos had already left for a syllabic conference in Tinvnins. (We'll hope to hear more of this in a future newsletter. ) However, Mary did visit Virginia Jackpine, who was continuing the classes alone while her team-teaching partner was away. Mary was impressed with the amount of Ojibwe the children had learned in one year: they knew a number of songs off by heart, and were able to do the complete dialogue of Ravenlocks and the Three Bears (see Core Book l#K) . Junior (K-2} and Senior (3-7) classes meet daily for 25 minutes each in the Chapleau Public School. On Fridays, Virginia and Theresa have art (or craft} lessons with the children, in which they use all the Ojibwe they can (colours, numbers, simple instructions}. For example Mary observed one boy counting the pages he had completed for a project in good Ojibwe. Last week's art project was painting on rocks which Virginia had saved in her basement through the winter. The teachers tied this in with the ancient Ojibwe rock paintings found in many Northern Ontario locations. Mary hopes to visit more Native Language classrooms before the end of the year.

The Curriculum Branch in the Ministry of Education is providing a special fund for the development of learning materials in support of the Native as a Second Language program. The criteria for this funding is similar to that for the Learning Materials Development Plan. The term "learning materials" means any materials designed to facilitate learning, including books (whether textbooks or books of a more general nature) and non-printed materials. Work­ books are not eligible. The materials to be developed should not duplicate Native Language mat�rials 3lready produced by Cultural-Education Centres. All applications for funding will be considered on a competitive basis. Once a project has been accepted for funding, an agreement, drawn up between the Ministry of Education and the applicant, will specify the commitments and under­ standings of each party. There are a number of general rules around this funding: a summary explaining the scope of the project and the need that it fills and outlining the time schedule for its development. a resume of the qualifications and experience of each individual who will be significantly involved in the project. where applicable, a description of any plans for field-testing the learning materials to be developed.
