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

In 1978, a second experimental program was undertaken in
Thunder Bay, to pilot the training program for teachers of Native
language Arts for "first language" communities.
In 1981. both progranmes (second language, and language
arts) moved to Lakehead University, to become diploma progranmes of
the Faculty of Education with the name changing to our present NLIP
(Native Language Instructors Programme). "The Institute" began in
1980 as a directed studies programme for NLTT/NLIP graduates, has
also become part of University life, and Institute courses now are
offered by Lakehead's Faculty of Arts.
NLIP, while now an established and well-regarded school,
continues to grow in quality as each year the best suggestions of
student body and faculty continue to shape the curriculum. Over
the years, NLIP has come to enjoy a reputation for the quality of
its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario's Native
people, students from other parts of Canada and from the United States
have come to us for training. We have appreciated the contribution
they have made to our broadening understanding of Native Language
education.

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

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

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

I

■

-

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

■ I
■

■

Page 1

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

-

-

NLIP, while now an established and well-regarded school,
continues to grow in qua1ity as each year the best suggestions of
student body and faculty continue to shape the curriculum. Over
the years, NLIP has come to enjoy a reputation for the quality of
its training. Although designed and operated for Ontario's Native
people, students from other parts of Canada and from the United
States have come to us for training. We have appreciated the
contribution they have made to our broadening understanding of
Native language Education.
Jt
continue to
a source of
Ontario and

i•, our hope Lh&lt;1t hoth NLII' ,Hld the I11�tltule will
grow and prosper and that they may become increasingly
practi ca1 assistance tortative Language Education in
beyond.

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

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

Ill

reserve school.
'"The big ·thing was the
absence or supporting
structure. There were no
school policies. and the
expectations were loosely
defined,'' said Sister
Lenore.
The school on the Gull
Bay Reserve isn't even
remote in comparison to
some in the northern·
regions, such as the
Wlnlsk Reserve on Hud•
son's Bay. Al least the
Gull Bay Reserve. being
170 km north of Thunder
Bay on Highway 527. is
accessible by road.
It's a relatively new
school. having opened in
1983, and it contains some
modern conveniences
such as a computer.
photocopier. television
and typewriter. The 65
students at the school are
divided into three triple
grades. f r o m
Kindergarten lo Grade 2,
Grade 3 to S and Grade 6
to 8.
A visit to the school on
lhe last day of classes in
June. found the majority
of students gone. and the
teachers packing and
·making plans for summer
computer courses.
Sister Lenore was pnn•

IB.5UE LAST YEAR

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

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

This past June was only

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

fairs. and no one wanted

to think that a proper job
was not being done. he
said.
"It's better to educate
the kids lhen make them
believe
. they're edu•
caled,. said Poire. "At
least now they know

grade.''

NONORTHERN
CURRICULUM
"We have the same pro­
blem they have ln any
northern rural communi•
ty - the absence of a real•
ly good curriculum
material that is geared lo
the needs o f lhe
students." said Sister

Lenore.
It's difficult to provide
the students with an in•

centive when they have a
curriculum they can't
relate to, shesaid. Most o!
the students wilt spend
their entire Jives on the
reserve. yet the cur­
riculum is geared to a

There is some native

enough, said Sister
Lenore.

/\nothP.r difference th.ti
Sister Lenore had to get
used to. was the concept
of the school year and

"Indian time doesn't
run from 9 ajn. until 3
