The Program
Lakehead University, in the heartland of Ojibwe country, offers a selection of Native Language courses
and programs through the co-operative effons of Languages and Education. Native Language studies
are proving to be of growing interest to students of every age, Native and non- Native alike. While some
students come to Lakehead especially to study in a Native Language program, others find that the study
of Native Language complements their chosen programs in other fields.
We have a rich heritage in the Native Languages of this country, and recently, there has been a surge of
interest in this heritage. We, at Lakehead University feel privileged and proud to share in the building of
the new academic tradition that will emerge as we pursue goals of excellence in Native language
learning and teaching.

�1. Native Language Teacher Certification Program
The purpose of the Native Language Teacher Certification Program is to increase the number of Native
language teachers through summer programs which will prepare them to instruct in Native as a second
language. It is a three summer program of four weeks duration. Students in this program will learn
how to teach Native as a second language to children whose first language is English. Native language
teachers who have an understanding of the structure of the Native language, pedagogical principles,
methods and techniques for teaching Native as a second language will promote and maintain the
teaching of Native languages. Course requirements are met through a combination of courses and
student teaching.

Courses in the Algonquian Series are for fluent speakers of Cree, Ojibwe, and Delaware. Also included
are related languages of Montagnais, Nascapi, Potawatami, Micmac, Malecite, and Saulteaux.
The intent of the Algonquian Series of courses is: to coach the student to acquire the skills of reading
his/her language with comfort and comprehension, and of writing it with ease and consistency in the
generally recognized orthography of his/her dialect area; to lead the student inductively to an
understanding of and appreciation for the structural terms necessary to the language teaching task in the
elementary and secondary schools in Ontario. These are two parallel series of courses designed to meet
the language needs of the student The Northern Series is designed for students from areas of Ontario
where the language is written in syllabics. All Cree students enroll in this group, as well as Ojibwe
speakers from "non-road-access" communities of Northern Ontario. The Southern Series is designed for
students from areas of Ontario where the language is written in the Roman alphabet. All Delaware
students enroll in this group as well as Ojibwe speakers from "road-access" communities of southern and
near Northern communities.

2. Native As A Second Language Diploma
This is a four summer program to educate candidates in teaching Native as a second language. This
program prepares candidates to teach students whose first language is English. The courses in the first
three years of the program are exactly the same as the courses for Native Teacher Certification Program
except for the Practicum. Education 1598 and Education 1599 , year one and year two respectively, are

VI. Course Outline
A course outline is required in the Native Language Instructors' Program office before your course
begins. The course outline should contain the following information:
(a) course description from the calendar (refer to Appendices A &amp; B)
(b) course objectives
(c) course content
(d) course assignments
(e) course evaluation scheme
(f) course schedule (dates/content/readings)
A must for every course outline. Each course outline, in addition to the above, should include the
following:
Incomplete Standing:
It is the responsibility of the student to complete all work in accordance
with the time schedule communicated by the instructor at the beginning
of the course. If for some reason the student is unable to complete the
course requirements on time, it is his/her responsibility to apply in
writing for an extension. If granted, the students will receive an
Incomplete grade and the University policy with respect to such grades
will apply. If the student makes no formal application for an extension,
the instructor will submit a grade based on a zero grade for the
uncompleted portion of the work. This grade will hold unless a Change
of Mark fo rm is submitted by the instructor and approved by the
Chairperson and Director.
In courses where there are two sections, it is important that content and evaluation be similar. Please
collaborate with your other half to ensure reasonable similarity. For example:
AL 12 12 AA Western and AL 12 12 AB Central/Eastern
AL 1232 AA Western and AL 1232 AB Central/Eastern
For these classes, marks and averages should be reasonably close. Please keep in touch about this.
Since promptness and regular attendance are required of teachers, NLIP encourages formation of these
professional habits. Please record attendance and punctuality for each class you teach. You may wish to
build this in, in some way, to your evaluation scheme.
Note: Students who fail to appear for any student teaching assignment (without prior permission) will
automatically fail their student teaching component (i.e. ED 0 190 , ED 0290 , or ED0390 ).

VII. Course Materials
If you anticipate needing any materials with which to teach your course(s), please inform the NLIP
office as soon as possible so that these may be ordered. In addition, if you plan to use a textbook in your
course(s), please fill out the enclosed book order form with all possible information included and return
iL If you have written, or plan to write your own text material, send a camera-ready copy by May 15 . It
will be printed and placed in the L.U. Book Shop for your students.

7

�VIII. Printing
The School of Education has guidelines regarding the printing of course materials. Course outlines,
activity/worksheets, tests and exams will be printed. Handouts such as journal articles or book chapters
will not. Bring your printing to the NLIP Secretary and she will complete a requisition, then send to the
Print Shop. This service takes a minimum of one full day.
One venda card is provided for your course during the program.

�The Program
Lakehead University, in the heartland of Ojibwe country, offers a selection of Native Language courses
and programs through the co-operative efforts of Languages and Education. Native Language studies
are proving to be of growing interest to students of every age, Native and non-Native alike. While some
students come to Lakehead especially to study in a Native Language program, others find that the study
of Native Language complements their chosen programs in other fields.
We have a rich heritage in the Native Languages of this country, and recently, there has been a surge of
interest in this heritage. We, at Lakehead University feel privileged and proud to share in the building of
the new academic tradition that will emerge as we pursue goals of excellence in N alive language
learning and teaching.

Program Goals
- to MAINTAIN the vitality of Native Languages among members of the Native Language
community, by providing opportunities for its study and creative use in the academic setting;
- to DEVELOP new functions and skills, in the use of Native Languages through research,
teaching and materials production;
- to INTRODUCE a Native Language to those who wish to learn it through introductory and
developmental courses in Cree and Ojibwe.

1. Native Language Teacher Certification Program
The purpose of the Native Language Teacher Certification Program is to increase the number of Native
language teachers through summer programs which will prepare them to instruct in Native as a second
language. It is a three summer program of four weeks duration. Students in this program will learn
how to teach Native as a second language to children whose first language is English. Native language
teachers who have an understanding of the structure of the Native language, pedagogical principles,
methods and techniques for teaching Native as a second language will promote and maintain the
teaching of Native languages. Course requirements are met through a combination of courses and
student teaching.

Courses in the Algonquian Series are for fluent speakers of Cree, Ojibwe, and Delaware. Also included
are related languages of Montagnais, Nascapi, Potawatami, Micmac, Malecite, and Saulteaux.
The intent of the Algonquian Series of courses is: to coach the student to acquire the skills of reading
his/her language with comfort and comprehension, and of writing it with ease and consistency in the
generally recognized orthography of his/her dialect area; to lead the student inductively to an
understanding of and appreciation for the structural terms necessary to the language teaching task in the
elementary and secondary schools in Ontario. These are two parallel series of courses designed to meet
the language needs of the student. The Northern Series is designed for students from areas of Ontario
where the language is written in syllabics. All Cree students enroll in this group, as well as Ojibwe
speakers from "non- road- access" communities of Northern Ontario. The Southern Series is designed for
students from areas of Ontario where the language is written in the Roman alphabet. All Delaware
students enroll in this group as well as Ojibwe speakers from "road-access" communities of southern and
near Northern communities.

2. Native As A Second Language Diploma
This is a four summer program to educate candidates in teaching Native as a second language. This
program prepares candidates to teach students whose first language is English. The courses in the first
three years of the program are exactly the same as the courses for Native Teacher Certification Program
except for the Practicum. Education 1598 and Education 1599 , year one and year two respectively, are
supervised practica during the winter months.

IV. Cancelled Classes
Classes cancelled due to illness, etc. should be re-scheduled at a time convenient to the instructor and
students.

5

�I

V. Schedule of Classes
Classes begin on the half hour and end twenty minutes past the hour. As a courtesy to the instructor of
the next class, please try to adhere to these times.

VI. Course Outline
A course outline is required in the Native Language Instructors' Program office before your course
begins. The course outline should contain the following information:
(a) course description from the calendar (refer to Appendices A &amp; B)
(b) course objectives
(c) course content
(d) course assignments
(e) course evaluation scheme
(f) course schedule (dates/content/readings)
A must for every course outline. Each course outline, in addition to the above, should include the
following:
Incomplete Standing:
It is the responsibility of the student to complete all work in accordance
with the time schedule communicated by the instructor at the beginning
of the course. If for some reason the student is unable to complete the
course requirements on time, it is his/her responsibility to apply in
writing for an extension. If granted, the students will receive an
Incomplete grade and the University policy with respect to such grades
will apply. If the student makes no formal application for an extension,
the instructor will submit a grade based on a zero grade for the
uncompleted portion of the work. This grade will hold unless a Change
of Mark form is submitted by the instructor and approved by the
Chairperson and Director.
In courses where there are two sections, it is important that content and evaluation be similar. Please
collaborate with your other half to ensure reasonable similarity. For example:
AL1212 AA Western and AL 1212 AB Central/Eastern
AL1232 AA Western and AL1232 AB Central/Eastern
For these classes, marks and averages should be reasonably close. Please keep in touch about this.
Since promptness and regular attendance are required of teachers, NLIP encourages formation of these
professional habits. Please record attendance and punctuality for each class you teach. You may wish
to build this in, in some way, to your evaluation scheme. Note: Students who fail to appear for any
student teaching assignment (without prior permission) will automatically fail their student teaching
component (i.e. ED 0190 , ED 0290 , or ED 0390).

VII. Course Materials
If you anticipate needing any materials with which to teach your course(s), please inform the NLIP
office as soon as possible so that these may be ordered. In addition, if you plan to use a textbook in your
course(s), please fill out the enclosed book order form with all possible information included and return
it. If you have written, or plan to write your own text material, send a camera-ready copy by June 1 . It
will be printed and placed in the L.U. Book Shop for your students. If you require a T.V. &amp; VCR for
your class, you must book this at least 2 days prior to the date required. See Sonya for more details.

C.3 Practicum 0190, 0290, 0390 Workshop Sessions
Each workshop will be 2 days in length and will be held on July 4 and 5. This year. only one set of
workshops will be held. A limit of 25 students per workshop based on a first come first choice basis.
Room numbers and class lists will be available on July 3.
Workshop 1 - Contemporary Aboriginal Indian Art - Helen Wassegijig - Visual Arts Building
Through slide presentations the students will learn to understand and appreciate a survey of the principal
art movements in aboriginal Indian art. The fundamental principles of drawing and painting and the
development of creative expression and graphic presentation through multi-media as an image-making
process will be explored..
Workshop 2 - The Medicine Wheel in Anishinaabe Curriculum - Lena White - BL 2032
This workshop will focus on the introduction, description and teachings of the Medicine Wheel. Its
basic features, principles and concepts will be discussed. Students will be encouraged to share and
create ideas and methods for content and application in a Native language program.
Workshop 3 - Birch Bark Work - Isadore Toulouse - BL 2027
Working with Birch Bark, Porcupine Quills and Sweet Grass is a very delicate task. There are certain
things that the students need to know and understand before the actual process of making a particular
object. The time of the Birch Bark picking is very important plus acquiring the porcupine quills during
a particular time of the season and the sacredness of the Sweet-grass. All of these important factors will
be discussed during the workshop.
Students will be making two items that they will be taking back to their classrooms and in tum be able to
teach their own students what they have learned. There will be a display of various Birch Bark material
on hand for the students to see.
Workshop 4 - Sounds and Songs of the Anishnaabeg - Violet Shawanda - BL 2039
This workshop will assist the NSL teacher to do his/her own songs through the use of large drum, hand
drum and shakers etc. The kinds of songs can be as varied as traditional social drum songs, chant,
vocables, choir-style, translated, straight traditional, and action song.
Participants bring own drums, shakers etc. Also be prepared to share songs with one another. This is
the only way we can hope to retain our Anishnaabemowin in a rewarding and enjoyable manner to both
students and NSL teachers.
Workshop 5 - Resource Exchange - Sandra Peltier - BL 2036
This workshop will focus on the types of materials a teacher can adapt, modify and develop for their use
in the classroom. Students will gain ideas in establishing a resource bank of language and cultural
materials.

�The Program
Lakehead University, in the heartland of Ojibwe country, offers a selection of Native Language courses
and programs through the co-operative efforts of Languages and Education. Native Language studies
are proving to be of growing interest to students of every age, Native and non-Native alike. While some
students come to Lakehead especially to study in a Native Language program, others find that the study
of Native Language complements their chosen programs in other fields.
We have a rich heritage in the Native Languages of this country, and recently, there has been a surge of
interest in this heritage. We, at Lakehead University feel privileged and proud to share in the building of
the new academic tradition that will emerge as we pursue goals of excellence in Native language
learning and teaching.

Program Goals
- to MAINTAIN the vitality of Native Languages among members of the Native Language
community, by providing opportunities for its study and creative use in the academic setting;
- to DEVELOP new functions and skills, in the use of Native Languages through research,
teaching and materials production;
- to INTRODUCE a Native Language to those who wish to learn it through introductory and
developmental courses in Cree and Ojibwe.

1. Native Language Teacher Certification Program
The purpose of the Native Language Teacher Certification Program is to increase the number of Native
language teachers through summer programs which will prepare them to instruct in Native as a second
language. It is a three summer program of four weeks duration. Students in this program will learn
how to teach Native as a second language to children whose first language is English. Native language
teachers who have an understanding of the structure of the Native language, pedagogical principles,
methods and techniques for teaching Native as a second language will promote and maintain the
teaching of Native languages. Course requirements are met through a combination of courses and
student teaching.

Courses in the Algonquian Series are for fluent speakers of Cree, Ojibwe, and Delaware. Also included
are related languages of Montagnais, Nascapi, Potawatami, Micmac, Malecite, and Saulteaux.
The intent of the Algonquian Series of courses is: to coach the student to acquire the skills of reading
his/her language with comfort and comprehension, and of writing it with ease and consistency in the
generally recognized orthography of his/her dialect area; to lead the student inductively to an
understanding of and appreciation for the structural terms necessary to the language teaching task in the
elementary and secondary schools in Ontario. These are two parallel series of courses designed to meet
the language needs of the student. The Northern Series is designed for students from areas of Ontario
where the language is written in syllabics. All Cree students enroll in this group, as well as Ojibwe
speakers from "non-road-access" communities of Northern Ontario. The Southern Series is designed for
students from areas of Ontario where the language is written in the Roman alphabet. All Delaware
students enroll in this group as well as Ojibwe speakers from "road-access" communities of southern and
near Northern communities.
2. Native As A Second Language Diploma
This is a four summer program to educate candidates in teaching Native as a second language. This
program prepares candidates to teach students whose first language is English. The courses in the first
three years of the program are exactly the same as the courses for Native Teacher Certification Program
except for the Practicum. Education 1598 and Education 1599, year one and year two respectively, are
supervised practica during the winter months.

students.

.

5

�V. Schedule of Classes
Classes begin on the half hour and end twenty minutes past the hour. As a courtesy to the instructor of
the next class, please try to adhere to these times.

VI. Course Outline

A course outline is required in the Native Language Instructors' Program office before your course
begins. The course outline should contain the following information:
(a) course description from the calendar (refer to Appendices A &amp; B)
(b) course objectives
(c) course content
(d) course assignments
(e) course evaluation scheme
(f) course schedule (dates/content/readings)

A must for every course outline. Each course outline, in addition to the above, should include the
following:
Incomplete Standing:
It is the responsibility of the student to complete all work in accordance
with the time schedule communicated by the instructor at the beginning
of the course. If for some reason the student is unable to complete the
course requirements on time, it is his/her responsibility to apply in
writing for an extension. If granted, the students will receive an
Incomplete grade and the University policy with respect to such grades
will apply. If the student makes no formal application for an extension,
the instructor will submit a grade based on a zero grade for the
uncompleted portion of the work. This grade will hold unless a Change
of Mark form is submitted by the instructor and approved by the
Chairperson and Director.
In courses where there are two sections, it is important that content and evaluation be similar. Please
collaborate with your other half to ensure reasonable similarity. For example:
AL 1212 AA Western and AL 1212 AB Central/Eastern
AL 1232 AA Western and AL 1232 AB Central/Eastern

For these classes, marks and averages should be reasonably close. Please keep in touch about this.

Since promptness and regular attendance are required of teachers, NLIP encourages formation of these
professional habits. Please record attendance and punctuality for each class you teach. You may wish
to build this in, in some way, to your evaluation scheme. Note: Students who fail to appear for any
student teaching assignment (without prior permission) will automatically fail their student teaching
component (i.e. ED 01 90, ED 0290, or ED 0390).

VII. Course Materials

If you anticipate needing any materials with which to teach your course(s), please inform the NLIP
office as soon as possible so that these may be ordered. In addition, if you plan to use a textbook in your
course(s), please fill out the enclosed book order form with all possible information included and return
it. If you have written, or plan to write your own text material, send a camera-ready copy by June 1 . It
will be printed and placed in the L.U. Book Shop for your students. If you require a T.V. &amp; VCR for
your class, you must book this at least 2 days prior to the date required. See Sonya for more details.

C.3 Practicum 0190, 0290, 0390 Workshop Sessions

i,

Each workshop will be 2 days in length and will be held on JulJ and This year, only one set of
workshops will be held. A limit of 25 students per workshop based on a first come first choice basis.
Room numbers and class lists will be available on July 3.
Workshop 1 - Contemporary Aboriginal Indian Art - Helen Wassegijig -

Through slide presentations the students will learn to understand and appreciate a survey of the principal
art movements in aboriginal Indian art. The fundamental principles of drawing and painting and the
development of creative expression and graphic presentation through multi-media as an image-making
process will be explored..
Workshop 2 - Birch Bark Work - Isadore Toulouse - BL 2027
Working with Birch Bark, Porcupine Quills and Sweet Grass is a very delicate task. There are certain
things that the students need to know and understand before the actual process of making a particular
object. The time of the Birch Bark picking is very important plus acquiring the porcupine quills during
a particular time of the season and the sacredness of the Sweet-grass. All of these important factors will
be discussed during the workshop.

Students will be making two items that they will be taking back to their classrooms and in turn be able to
teach their own students what they have learned. There will be a display of various Birch Bark material
on hand for the students to see.
Workshop 3 • Sounds and Songs of the Anishnaabeg - Violet Shawanda • BL 2039
This workshop will assist the NSL teacher to do his/her own songs through the use of large drum, hand
drum and shakers etc. The kinds of songs can be as varied as traditional social drum songs, chant,
vocables, choir-style, translated, straight traditional, and action song.

Participants bring own drums, shakers etc. Also be prepared to share songs with one another. This is
the only way we can hope to retain our Anishnaabemowin in a rewarding and enjoyable manner to both
students and NSL teachers.
Workshop 4 - To Be Announced

David Bates, Dean

SECRETARIAL ASSIGI\�IENTS

The following policy with respect to work priorities and demands placed on secretaries is intended to provide
as much support as possible for F aculcy needs.
-:t

The priority for completion of work by secretaries is:
tST:

ADMINISTRATION (reception, responding to inquiries from students and the public, phones,

2ND:

TEACHING (course oudines, teaching materials, examinations, etc.)

3RD:

ScHOLARLYWORKAND RESEARCH (conference papers, journal articles, absrraets, proposals). Your

letters, filing, records, etc.)

research cyping work may have to wait a while to be done, depending on ocher demands on the
secretary. They all try to respond as well as they can. Smaller jobs are easier to accommodate
than large ones.

Your files may be on the hard disk of your secretary's computer, but the office computers are not for
faculty use. Please use another computer on campus or your personal computer if you want to work
on your files. You should keep disk copies of all your files for your own security.

-:r

Faxes must be sent by your secretary; personal faxes muse be identified as being personal and the cover
page will be held.

-:r

Please don't ask secretaries to type book manuscripts or to perform the role of a research assistant by
transcribing/recording data (qualitative or quantitative). Such tasks should be paid for as extra contract
work out of a research grant (or from other sources) by the faculty member concerned.
Secretaries' normal working hours by collective agreement are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Faculty may NOT
request secretaries to complete work outside these hours. Overtime may only be authorized by the
Dean.

Secretaries are entided to two breaks and a lunch break. Please respect this time and do noc expect staff
co work through their lunch or coffee breaks.
Secretaries are not expected to do photocopying for faculty. You are responsible for your own
photocopying.
There are two kinds of demands which are sometimes placed on secretaries which can be avoided: EXCESSIVE
(in terms of time expected to be expended on a single task), and LAST-MINUTE DEMANDS (in which
ongoing work is expected to be put aside so that a faculty member's personal deadline can be met). Your
continued cooperation and understanding with respect to these policies - which are of benefit co the Faculty
as a whole - is appreciated.
DEMANDS

NOTE: Faculty assignments to secretaries are on the reverse.

�The Program
Lakehead University, in the heartland of Ojibwe country, offers a selection of Native Language courses
and programs through the co-operative efforts of Languages and Education. Native Language studies
are proving to be of growing interest to students of every age, Native and non-Native alike. While some
students come to Lakehead especially to study in a Native Language program, others find that the study
of Native Language complements their chosen programs in other fields.
We have a rich heritage in the Native Languages of this country, and recently, there has been a surge of
interest in this heritage. We, at Lakehead University feel privileged and proud to share in the building of
the new academic tradition that will emerge as we pursue goals of excellence in Native language
learning and teaching.

Program Goals
- to MAINTAIN the vitality of Native Languages among members of the Native Language
community, by providing opportunities for its study and creative use in the academic setting;
- to DEVELOP new functions and skills. in the use of Native Languages through research,
teaching and materials production:
- to INTRODUCE a Native Language to those who wish to learn it through introductory and
developmental courses in Cree and Ojibwe.

1. Native Language Teacher Certification Program
The purpose of the Native Language Teacher Certification Program is to increase the number of Native
language teachers through summer programs which will prepare them to instruct in Native as a second
language. It is a three summer program of four weeks duration. Students in this program will learn
how to teach Native as a second language to children whose first language is English. Native language
teachers who have an understanding of the structure of the Native language, pedagogical principles,
methods and techniques for teaching Native as a second language will promote and maintain the
teaching of Native languages. Course requirements are met through a combination of courses and
student teaching.

Courses in the Algonquian Series are for fluent speakers of Cree, Ojibwe, and Delaware. Also included
are related languages of Montagnais, Nascapi, Potawatami, Micmac, Malecite, and Saulteaux.
The intent of the Algonquian Series of courses is: to coach the student to acquire the skills of reading
his/her language with comfort and comprehension, and of writing it with ease and consistency in the
generally recognized orthography of his/her dialect area; to lead the student inductively to an
understanding of and appreciation for the structural terms necessary to the language teaching task in the
elementary and secondary schools in Ontario. These are two parallel series of courses designed to meet
the language needs of the student. The Northern Series is designed for students from areas of Ontario
where the language is written in syllabics. All Cree students enroll in this group, as well as Ojibwe
speakers from "non-road-access" communities of Northern Ontario. The Southern Series is designed for
students from areas of Ontario where the language is written in the Roman alphabet. All Delaware
students enroll in this group as well as Ojibwe speakers from "road-access" communities of southern and
near Northern communities.

2. Native As A Second Language Diploma
This is a four summer program to educate candidates in teaching Native as a second language. This
program prepares candidates to teach students whose first language is English. The courses in the first
three years of the program are exactly the same as the courses for Native Teacher Certification Program
except for the Practicum. Education 1598 and Education 1599, year one and year two respectively, are
supervised practica during the winter months.

students.

5,r

�V. Schedule of Classes
Classes begin on the half hour and end twenty minutes past the hour. As a courtesy to the instructor of
the next class, please try to adhere to these times.

VI. Course Outline
A course outline is required in the Native Language Instructors' Program office before your course
begins. The course outline should contain the following information:
(a) course description from the calendar (refer to Appendices A &amp; B)
(b) course objectives
(c) course content
(d) course assignments
(e) course evaluation scheme
(f) course schedule (dates/content/readings)
A must for every course outline. Each course outline, in addition to the above, should include the
following:
Incomplete Standing:
It is the responsibility of the student to complete all work in accordance
with the time schedule communicated by the instructor at the beginning
of the course. If for some reason the student is unable to complete the
course requirements on time, it is his/her responsibility to apply in
writing for an extension. If granted, the students will receive an
Incomplete grade and the University policy with respect to such grades
will apply. If the student makes no formal application for an extension,
the instructor will submit a grade based on a zero grade for the
uncompleted portion of the work. This grade will hold unless a Change
of Mark form is submitted by the instructor and approved by the
Chairperson and Director.
In courses where there are two sections, it is important that content and evaluation be similar. Please
collaborate with your other half to ensure reasonable similarity. For example:
AL 1212 AA Western and AL 1212 AB Central/Eastern
AL 1232 AA Western and AL 1232 AB Central/Eastern
For these classes, marks and averages should be reasonably close. Please keep in touch about this.
Since promptness and regular attendance are required of teachers, NLIP encourages formation of these
professional habits. Please record attendance and punctuality for each class you teach. You may wish
to build this in, in some way. to your evaluation scheme. Note: Students who fail to appear for any
student teaching assignment (without prior permission) will automatically fail their student teaching
component (i.e. ED 0190. ED 0290, or ED 0390).

VII. Course Materials
If you anticipate needing any materials with which to teach your course(s), please inform the NLIP
office as soon as possible so that these may be ordered. In addition, if you plan to use a textbook in your
course(s), please fill out the enclosed book order form with all possible information included and return
it. If you have written, or plan to write your own text material, send a camera-ready copy by June 1. It
will be printed and placed in the LU. Book Shop for your students. If you require a T.V. &amp; VCR for
your class, you must book this at least 2 days prior to the date required. See Sonya for more details.

C.3 Practicum 0190, 0290, 0390 Workshop Sessions
Each workshop will be 2 days in length and will be held on July 8 and 9. This year, only one set of
workshops will be held. A limit of 25 students per workshop based on a first come first choice basis.
Room numbers and class lists will be available on July 7.
Workshop 1 - Contemporary Aboriginal Indian Art - Helen Wassegijig - BL 2031
Through slide presentations the students will learn to understand and appreciate a survey of the principal
art movements in aboriginal Indian art. The fundamental principles of drawing and painting and the
development of creative expression and graphic presentation through multi-media as an image-making
process will be explored..
Workshop 2 - Birch Bark Work - Isadore Toulouse - BL 2039
Working with Birch Bark, Porcupine Quills and Sweet Grass is a very delicate task. There are certain
things that the students need to know and understand before the actual process of making a particular
object. The time of the Birch Bark picking is very important plus acquiring the porcupine quills during
a particular time of the season and the sacredness of the Sweet-grass. All of these important factors will
be discussed during the workshop.
Students will be making two items that they will be taking back to their classrooms and in turn be able to
teach their own students what they have learned. There will be a display of various Birch Bark material
on hand for the students to see.
Workshop 3 - Sounds and Songs of the Anishnaabeg - Violet Shawanda - BL 2027
This workshop will assist the NSL teacher to do his/her own songs through the use of large drum, hand
drum and shakers etc. The kinds of songs can be as varied as traditional social drum songs, chant,
vocables, choir-style. translated, straight traditional, and action song.
Participants bring own drums, shakers etc. Also be prepared to share songs with one another. This is
the only way we can hope to retain our Anishnaabemowin in a rewarding and enjoyable manner to both
students and NSL teachers.
Workshop 4 - Story Telling and the Uses of the Talking Circle - Delores Wawia - BL 2030
The students will be exposed to the meaning and the uses of the Talking Circle. The students will be
introduced to the art of story telling. Both the talking circle and story telling are useful teaching devices
that can be incorporated into Native language teaching to enrich the classes.

�The Program
Lakehead University, in the heartland of Ojibwe country, offers a selection of Native Language courses
and programs through the co-operative efforts of Languages and Education. Native Language studies
are proving to be of growing interest to students of every age, Native and non-Native alike. While some
students come to Lakehead especially to study in a Native Language program, others find that the study
of Native Language complements their chosen programs in other fields.
We have a rich heritage in the Native Languages of this country, and recently, there has been a surge of
interest in this heritage. We, at Lakehead University feel privileged and proud to share in the building of
the new academic tradition that will emerge as we pursue goals of excellence in Native language
learning and teaching.

Program Goals
- to MAINTAIN the vitality of Native Languages among members of the Native Language
community, by providing opportunities for its study and creative use in the academic setting;
- to DEVELOP new functions and skills, in the use of Native Languages through research,
teaching and materials production;
- to INTRODUCE a Native Language to those who wish to learn it through introductory and
developmental courses in Cree and Ojibwe.

1. Native Language Teacher Certification Program
The purpose of the Native Language Teacher Certification Program is to increase the number of Native
language teachers through summer programs which will prepare them to instruct in Native as a second
language. It is a three summer program of four weeks duration. Students in this program will learn
how to teach Native as a second language to children whose first language is English. Native language
teachers who have an understanding of the structure of the Native language, pedagogical principles,
methods and techniques for teaching Native as a second language will promote and maintain the
teaching of Native languages. Course requirements are met through a combination of courses and
student teaching.
1.1 The Algonquian Courses (Refer to Appendices A &amp; B for course descriptions)

Courses in the Algonquian Series are for fluent speakers of Cree, Ojibwe, and Delaware. Also included
are related languages of Montagnais, Nascapi, Potawatami, Micmac, Malecite, and Saulteaux.
The intent of the Algonquian Series of courses is: to coach the student to acquire the skills of reading
his/her language with comfort and comprehension, and of writing it with ease and consistency in the
generally recognized orthography of his/her dialect area; to lead the student inductively to an
understanding of and appreciation for the structural terms necessary to the language teaching task in the
elementary and secondary schools in Ontario. These are two parallel series of courses designed to meet
the language needs of the student. The Northern Series is designed for students from areas of Ontario
where the language is written in syllabics. All Cree students enroll in this group, as well as Ojibwe
speakers from "non-road-access" communities of Northern Ontario. The Southern Series is designed for
students from areas of Ontario where the language is written in the Roman alphabet. All Delaware
students enroll in this group as well as Ojibwe speakers from "road-access" communities of southern and
near Northern communities.

2. Native As A Second Language Diploma
This is a four summer program to educate candidates in teaching Native as a second language. This
program prepares candidates to teach students whose first language is English. The courses in the first
three years of the program are exactly the same as the courses for Native Teacher Certification Program
except for the Practicum. Education 15 98 and Education1599, year one and year two respectively, are
supervised practica during the winter months.

IV. Cancelled Classes

;;).'j'?CA�

Classes cancelled due to illness, etc. should be re-scheduled at a time convenient to the instructor and
students.

5

�V. Schedule of Classes
Classes begin on the half hour and end twenty minutes past the hour. As a courtesy to the instructor of
the next class. please try to adhere to these times.

VI. Course Outline
A course outline is required in the Native Language Instructors' Program office before your course
begins. The course outline should contain the following information:
(a) course description from the calendar (refer to Appendices A &amp; B)
(b) course objectives
(c) course content
(d) course assignments
(e) course evaluation scheme
(f) course schedule (dates/content/readings)
A must for every course outline. Each course outline. in addition to the above, should include the
following:
Incomplete Standing:
It is the responsibility of the student to complete all work in accordance
with the time schedule communicated by the instructor at the beginning
of the course. If for some reason the student is unable to complete the
course requirements on time. it is his/her responsibility to apply in
writing for an extension. If granted, the students will receive an
Incomplete grade and the University policy with respect to such grades
will apply. If the student makes no formal application for an extension,
the instructor wilJ submit a grade based on a zero grade for the
uncompleted portion of the work. This grade will hold unless a Change
of Mark form is submitted by the instructor and approved by the
Chairperson and Director.
In courses where there are two sections, it is important that content and evaluation be similar. Please
collaborate with your other half to ensure reasonable similarity. For example:
AL 1212 AA Western and AL 1212 AB Central/Eastern
AL 1232 AA Western and AL 1232 AB Central/Eastern
For these classes, marks and averages should be reasonably close. Please keep in touch about this.
Since promptness and regular attendance are required of teachers, NLIP encourages formation of these
professional habits. Please record attendance and punctuality for each class you teach. You may wish
to build this in, in some way. to your evaluation scheme. Note: Students who fail to appear for any
student teaching assignment (without prior permission) will automatically fail their student teaching
component (i.e. ED 0190, ED 0290, or ED 0390).

VII. Course Materials
If you anticipate needing any materials with which to teach your course(s), please inform the NLIP
office as soon as possible so that these may be ordered. In addition, if you plan to use a textbook in your
course(s), please fill out the enclosed book order form with all possible information included and return
it. If you have written, or plan to write your own text material, send a camera-ready copy by June 1 . It
will be printed and placed in the L.U. Book Shop for your students. If you require a T.V. &amp; VCR for
your class, you must book this at least 2 days prior to the date required. See Sonya for more details.

How is everybody? I am sure you are all very busy teaching Anishnaabemowin? It is
challenging and hard today to teach Anishnaabemowin when there are so few curriculum
materials and resources out there for our native language classrooms. When we look
back we can see how far we've come and see the amount of work our Native Language
Instructors have produced! We just need to keep doing what we are doing with our
Native languages.
We wish to extend our congratulations to all the students who successfully completed
their program this past summer. Best wishes in your endeavors.
,,
A reminder to the students who need to do their ''teaching experience , if you have not
yet made arrangements with a school, you should start seeking a placement soon. Don't
forget to get your practice teaching forms filled in and signed by the appropriate school
official and send the form in to the NLIP office.
Students who have already taken Year 4 should be certain to register and complete their
assignments for ED 1599 Winter Practicum as soon as possible and send them in to the
NLIP office in order to receive the Native As A Second Language Diploma at the Spring
2002 Convocation exercises. If you have any questions concerning your practicum,
please to not hesitate to call.
Our planning is underway once again for the summer session 2002. Dates for the 2002
NLIP session are July 2 to July 26, 2002. Student evaluation of the program conducted in
July 2001 indicated that students requested names and addresses and phone numbers of
fellow NLIP students for sharing purposes. We are unable to provide these because of the
Freedom of Information Act, which prevents us from divulging such information in this
newsletter. Some preliminary infonnation about courses and programs for summer is
included in this newsletter.
We wish everyone a pleasant holiday during Christmas and the New Year!

�UPDATE:
THE PROPOSED ONTARIO TEACHER QUALIFYING TEST
AND YOU
If you recall, last July we mentioned that the Ontario Government
wanted to pass legislation called the Quality in the Classroom Act
that would require all new teachers seeking certification from the
Ontario College of Teachers to take the " Ontario Teacher
Qualifying Test''. At that time we told you that we would update
you on the situation if and when we heard anything. While the
news is that there is no news, here is what we know so far.
According to Dr. Anthony Bartley, our Lokehead University Faculty
of Education representative to the Ministry of Education meetings
on Teacher Testing, there is not much to report because there has
been a news blackout on this issue until the legislation is passed
sometime in January of 2002. Dr. Bartley says, however, that
the focus of testing will probably be on teachers seeking regular
certification and not teachers applying for "restricted certificates"
such as the ones for teaching the Native languages as a second
language. But he goes on to warn that this is his opinion and that
nothing has been said directly or officially to support or refute it.
We have since learned from Lucy McCartney, an Ontario Ministry
of Education (OME) employee who sits on the Ontario Teaching
Testing Project Advisory Committee, that the bill is in its 3rd
reading and testing will definitely take place in Spring 2002.
McCartney also said that they have not yet defined which
categories of student teachers the legislation will affect.
When we consulted with Keith Lickers, an Education Officer in the
Curriculum and Assessment Policy Branch of the OME, he could not
say whether or not NLIP students will have to take the test, but
he did provide details on the test itself. Here is what he said:

Native Language in Ontario Vol. 12, No. 3

11

�ONTARIO TEACHER QUALIFYING TEST
IT'S PURPOSE:
It will test student teachers skills in classroom management, teacher
strategies, and problem solving.

WHAT IT WILL INVOLVE:
It is a 3-hour test comprising scenario and multiple-choice questions.
Test will be marked by Ontario teachers and faculty staff. The test is
not focused on specific subjects.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR:
It was pilot tested in October 2001 and will be field-tested with
volunteers in December 2001 and January 2002. The first real tests
will be administered April 27, 2002.

FOR MORE INFORMATION:
A backgrounder on the legislation is available at the Web site:

�The Ontario Curriculum
Grades 1 -8

Native Languages
2001

This publication is available on the Ministry of Education website
at
http ; //www . edu . gov . on . ca
The Ministry of Education is developing three Native Language resource
guides on grammar for 1) Ojibwe and Cree Languages; 2) Delaware; and 3)
three Iroquoian languages - Cayuga, Mohawk and Oneida.
The first two are virtually complete and ready for printing. The third is
currently being developed. It is the intent of the Ministry to have them
printed and distributed this school year.
The resource guides are supplementary and complementary to the Native
Language policy documents for Grades 1 to 12 that have already been
released to schools.
The resource guides are an effort by linguists and fluent speakers of the
Native languages to produce a significant resource for language
development. The Native language program, as outlined in the curriculum
policy documents, focuses on the communicative aspect of language.
Effective communication depends on accuracy and clarity of expression.
Therefore, grammatical accuracy is emphasized which makes the new
resource guides an important support of the program.
This project has presented a real challenge in that no grammar publications
for any of the Native languages taught in Ontario are available - which
partly explains why the project has been so long in development.
The release of these resource guides will complete the Native Language
program as part of the new Ontario curriculum

hands-on activities and learning the Ojibwe words associated with that activity.
October's topic was Halloween and November's topic was Quilting and
Remembrance Day. The December Immersion Workshop will take place on
Saturday December 15, 2001 with the topic of "Preparing Christmas Dinner".
Workshops are free to all community members.
The Aamjiwnaang (Sarnia) First Nation has invited our community members out to
their Anishinabe Language Class, which take place on Wednesday evenings from
6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Community Centre. Also, we are invited to their next
Immersion program on January 18-20, 2002 at the Community Centre.

�LANGUAGE ANV LEARNING REFLECTIONS
BY: Ar-n,ol.d;p. I�� August 1992

The following essay is a reflection on the nature of language and the nature of the learner.
In the process I collected on the experiences I have encountered throughout my lifetime
and what I have had the pleasure of discovering in my linguistics classes at Lake.head
University in the summer of 1992.
As an Ojivway from the Rama First Nation, I spent the first years of my life on an Indian
reserve along with my own nationality. I can remember those days as a child with my family
and community members speaking and playing in the native tongue. My grandmother would
always speak to my brother and I using the Ojibwe language. She would use it in everyday
life, with legends and stories during the winter months and before bedtime. To me, it was
the most beautiful and descriptive language I had ever heard. I am sure that my person
from another nationality would say the same thing about their language. Anyway, this would
not be hard to understand as it is my first language and the only other language I had to
compare it to was English, which I understand is a borrowed language.
It was not until the early sixties that I was ushered off to a non-native School and
environment in the nearby town of Orillia, Ontario, which at the time had a population of
about 13,000. I was not totally foreign to the new language, but now I was learning and
doing everything in English for the better part of every day. Suddenly things were
different, structured, not as much fun. Physical punishment was now the new way of doing
business and it was not uncommon to see the native youngsters lined up outside the
Principal's office waiting to get the strap for being ourselves. After a few years, I began to
realize that we were using less and less of the Native language. It was not up until 1984
that we as a community started to do something about the problem by sending people to
Lake.head University to receive some learning and training skills. I was the first person from
our community to take the course. Then the following year, another three came as well, all
of who are working with the language in some form or another today. There was and is a real
feeling of loss of identity and heritage within us. I was one of those people who was
genuinely concerned and who took a positive step to rejuvenate the language, not only by
increasing any knowledge of the language, but by encouraging others to speak and learn to
teach. Also, it was through my initiative that a language program was in the daycare center.
I believed the language had to be protected from the outside world; it had to be pure again.
I also knew that the words were different from how they m must have been in the time of
our forefathers. I felt those words had to be recaptured and preserved to rekindle our
identity and pride. I always believed there was a proper way of using words. I knew not the
evolutionary processes of languages. I did not want to share the language with other
nationalities for fear of further loss and bastardization. I also believed that if I wasn't
totally fluent with my first language, I would never be whole. I would feel awkward around
the Elders and people who were well versed in the language and had a tendency to withdraw
from a lengthy of full conversation. I knew there were other First Nations like the Cree,
Micmac, and Mohawk, but I knew practically nothing of dialect. I believe dialect and the lock
of its knowledge contributed to my feelings of inefficiency with the language. I used to
believe that the language was dying.

�I feel very fortunate to have been able to attend Lakehead University this year,
predominantly because of my education in the Linguistics classes. Our instructor, Mr. R.M.
Agnihotri, has opened my eyes and renewed my hope and faith that we as native people
belong with our languages, will survive! Now I have a more positive and optimistic outlook for
the future. I have learned to appreciate the finer points of the language and learner
processes. Instead of isolating ourselves with the language from the outside world, I now
believe that languages and people grow, learn and flourish from exposure to each other. The
only things constant is •change". New languages are coming into being all the time because
of interaction. Our language will change but it will live on. I see now how languages are both
highly structured and variable, and how with time and patience, any language can be broken
down and understood. I have always heard that children can learn a new language faster
than adults. Now I learn that both can learn equally as well and fast in regards to the
structure and words, but when it comes to pronunciation, the children have a slight edge on
adults,. I am also aware of the influences that the geographical location and environment
con have on a language. For instance, in Native country, if you live near a river, body of
water or any Island, the language will have a lot of •shhh" sounds because of the water
washing up against the shore line. If the Tribe is in the extreme north, then the language
will be harsh like the weather. I used to think that linguistics knew several languages but
now I am aware that it is a study of the structure and not the language itself. It is these
kind of peoples that con preserve and enhance heritages. They can capture a language and
record it on paper for the benefit of future generations and cultures. Some suggestions to
ensure the continuity of the language was not to focus all our energies and efforts on the
day-to-day fights like the realization of a language facility in the community, but rather to
attack the Big Picture. Concentrate at the National level to have a Native language policy,
fight for more capital and operational dollars, fight for equality. Go to the grass roots level
- politicians, and have them lobby the governments for the community and its members.
Have them institutionalized the language in the workplace and service centers, encourage
them to use it in the Council and public meetings. We have also learned about the nature of
he learner and the learning process. For example, we find in the learner that it is perfectly
natural to make errors. In fact, this may ever be desirable as now there is a method of
comparison between right and wrong, good or better. It is not a negative aspect of learner
development it is what makes us human, approachable and unpredictable. Languages are what
separate us from animals. For the longest time it was believed, maybe even before the
manifestation of record keeping and language structure development, that the learner
received comprehension and retentions through the five senses. This is what we are putting
in, this is what will be learned. In fact, this theory holds true to this day. There have been
numerous studies conducted by countless professionals and human behaviorists about the
theories behind the learning process. Now we find out that the learner is at the center of
the learning process and that there are several factors which influence his learning and what
he learns. Society, for example, teaches in the language of the dominating majority, which,
in Canada, is the English language. Social and economic conditions are also prevalent and
contributing factors because not everyone can go to say Yale University, because of
unwritten restrictions imposed by society. Maybe there are sociably acceptable criteria for
entry or the restrictions may be confining because of financially embarrassing reasons. The
individual may also have factors such as age, attitudinal problems, motivational deficiencies,
linguistic sensitivities and attitudinal qualifications holding him back.

Native Language in Ontario Vol. 12, No. 3

21

�The teacher and the types of material used to teach also have a bearing on what the
individual learns. Does the tmcher hove the qualifications, what sort of attitude does she
display. is she linguistically sensitive, is she sensitive to cultural differences. Does she
present materials that are interesting, pleasant and contributing to the crmtive instincts of
the lmrner? What tmching style is being used in the classroom? Is it tmching style being
used in the classroom? Is it Behaviorism?, where is it believed that the mind is a blank
space to be filled? Is it the (L.A.D.), Language Acquisition Device, where the person is
believed to be starting our knowing very little? Or is it through the General Cognitive
Structures theory.
It was not until fairly recently that a new theory was conceived whereby it was believed that
the child was born with the knowledge of a universal language, a sixth sense. They said that
the infants brain must be preprogrammed to a certain extent, it was not any empty basket
as previously assumed.
To my thinking this is the most logical of the theories. I cannot believe that the brain is
empty upon birth...I distinctly remember when my own son was born and how he rmcted to
his new environment. I could see the intelligence instantly. He felt the cold and reacted
appropriately, he could not see clearly but he was able to focus on the overhmd light. This
was the fist thing he sow in this life and for the longest time, for a period of about three
ymrs, he was still compelled by light and would look right into a burning light bulb. In my
mind, I could make him our as saying, • Where the heck om I, what's happening, what's that?•
I told his mother, he's a food one, Deb. I believe that a newborn is innate, meaning that
both parents genetically transferred the preprogramming previously mmtioned. It is quite
conceivable to me that the chromosomes of the parents carry not the characteristics of the
parents but also a kind of collective memory. This memory is then constantly developing in
the ovary, in the womb and right on through the individual's lifetime. Even while the fetus is
developing. it hos the ability to comprehend the outside world through the five senses and
analyze with the sixth. It can hear noises such as language while still in the womb and
recognize the smell of its mother even when it is separated for periods of time. This is
memory at work, analytical thinking. Furthermore. studies have shown that the human brain
uses no more than 5 to 10 percent of its power. Why is this? It is protecting us from
ourselves? Will there come a time when we no longer require a shell, and will the next form
be energy matter? If the brain only used the 10 percatt that we can measure, then surely
the other 90 percent must be doing something. I refer to the unconscious of the sixth
sense. I believe there is more going on that meets the eye and I will refer to it as
"automatic learning• or self-preservation. Even during the silent years, from birth to soy
abo,µt three years. the individual is still lmrning and developing the confidence to try new
things. like speech. Remember, you can learn more by listening all the time than you can be
speaking all the time. Learning is more that a one way street, there are so many variables
associated with it that no two people see the some thing exactly the same way.
In conclusion. I would soy that any tmching professional that takes the time to understand
his subject, his pupils' individuality, the external factors and the theories and learning
techniques available to him, will do well in his or her chosen career.

�WHAT IS EVALUATION
There have been many ideas shared and discussed, and methods developed on the
topic of •evaluationH. The Ministry documents, Native Languages Guideline and
Resource Guide - Support Document, provide detailed sections on evaluation. Still,
we get questions on what is the best way to apply a method you select?
Following is another contribution made by Adrian Peetoom. Here is some
information and citations made from his publication •RefleXionsH.
...you rely on what your own mind and heart - and the hearts and minds of your
students - tell you ... what's going on in our program, on your profession, in your own
professional life. Genuine evaluating is built right into classroom practice. The
trick is to recognize when and what and how you and your students are evaluating.

s��m-pcmder.

• Evaluation is first and foremost a celebration of what learners have
learned.
• Evaluation is a process, not a product.
• The purpose of evaluation is not to measure, but to foster.
• Evaluation depends on knowing the children and recognizing their
gifts, learning styles and interests.
• It is what people do together for the purpose of helping learning
along and building confidence in the learner.

The key to evaluation:

Students are totally involved in the process. There is only working with the
students (and their parents) to discover...
- what they already know,
- what they sti II need to know, and
- how they can be helped to know.
Like learning, evaluation happens every moment...The trick is to become more
specifically aware of and reflective about what you see, hear, feel, think, decide, so
that each bit you learn about your students' learning from them or from you own
observations, affects what you say and do next and builds towards your common
learning goals. Evaluation isn't something you do to students; it's something you do
with them on an ongoing basis.

Native Language in Ontario Vol. 12, No. 3

23

�Think of the on-going process as the "five R's":

•

Research:

What have we done?

... when you gather information about what both you and the students did.
You collect all kinds of data: about your instruction, the students'
interactions, the process of their learning (observable behaviors), pieces of
writing, completed tests, oral projects, drama, drawings, paintings,
constructed models, audio and video tapes etc.

• Reflection: What have we learned?
•what do we know?• - applies to you as well as the students. From the
research information and the materials you've collected, you arrive at some
tentative conclusions about the learning process; not only of what of
learning, but also the why, when, how, and with whom ...It's no longer simply
what you value in your students' learning that's important, but what they
value as well. Their own goals are what matter, and their recognition and
understanding of how and how much they're moving toward those goals.
• Response: Where will we go from here?
Each •evaluation" you and your students make as you reflect on the learning
they and you have done points to new goals that build on what has already
been learned.
• Reporting: What can we tell each other and others about our
learning?
-an ongoing sharing of thoughts and feelings about the process of learning
and what is being learned. Also important is periodic communication
between you and the parents - with the student - about what you saw, what
you thought, what you wondered, what you decided.

•

Recording: What learning can we record as completed?

If the first four •:steps" are in place and everyone has had an opportunity
to contribute, then official records of your students' work and learning will
be no big deal.

Thinking about learning:
Questions for evaluating yourself and your teaching ...
1. What did the students learn?
2. What did I learn about them
3. What did I learn about my teaching?

This issue and beyond...
More teachers are beginning to
contribute to Native Language
Education in Ontario. They are
highly motivated and deeply in­
volved in the maintenance and re­
vitalization of Native Language.
Their enthusiasm gives me much
hope that together, we can make
a difference. We all know that
it isn't easy trying to write an
article within an already busy
schedule! Help! Would you
like to:
*review a resource
*write an article
*provide teaching suggestions
*share information abour a
conference?
H the answer is yes to any of
these please call

�Coordinator's Message
Plans are now underway for the Native Language Instructor's Program (NLIP) for 2000. The Native
Language Teachers' Certification (NLTC) and the Native As A First/Second Language Diploma
(NAFL/NASL) Programs will be offered. Credit courses in Languages and Education will also be
offered which are courses for non-speakers and advanced studies ("Institute" courses) for fluent
speakers, grads and students who meet the admission requirements. Additional Qualification!-. (AQ)
ED 4743 Native As A Second Language, Part I will be offered this summer.
The dates for the NLTC is Tuesday, July 4 • July 28 and Diploma (NASL) Program is Monday, July
12-July 28. Registration will be Tuesday, July 4, Orientation will be Wednesday, July 5 and
Workshops will be held Thursday, July 6 and Thursday, July 7 and a General Assembly will be held
on Friday, July 7, 2000.
Application packages were sent out in January. The packages include all the forms that need to be
filled out and include information on residences and meal plans. The deadline for applications is May
30, 2000. Applications received after this date will be considered only if there a.re spaces available.
To avoid disappointment, send in your application as soon as possible to the NLIP office.
We encourage you to share any information you may have on Native Language Education. It can be
an article, a teaching idea, a poem, a game, a song, a book or any resource or reference material that
you find useful. Please submit it to us and we can include it in our next Newsletter.
A reminder to the students who need to do their "teaching experience", if you have not made
arrangements with a school, you should start seeking a placement now. Don't forget to get your
practice teaching forms filled in and signed by the appropriate school official (NOT the principal) and
send the form in to the NLIP office.
Students who have received their Certificate of Qualification (Restricted) are encouraged to come back
and take the 4111 year so that they can obtain the Native As A Second Language Diploma.
Students who have already taken Year 4 should be certain to complete their assignments for ED 1599
Winter Practicum as soon as possible and send them in to the NLIP office in order to receive the
Native As A Second Language Diploma at the Spring 2000 Convocation exercises.
Special thanks go out to Diane, my new secretary, for all her hard work and devotion in putting
together this newsletter.
It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing of one of our instructors, Lena White. Lena had
been with the program since its inception in 1981. Lena will be missed by all who knew her.
I look forward to meeting all of you students again this summer.
Good luck in your future endeavors. Giga�waabimigoom miinawaa.

�Ninoontaan / I Can Hear It
Ojibwe Stories from Lansdowne House
Written by Cecilia Sugarhead
Edited, translated and with a glossary by John O'Meara
This book contains ten stories written by Cecilia Sugarhead, a speaker of Ojibwe from Lansdowne
House, Ontario. These stories are well-known to Ojibwe-speaking people in Northern Ontario.
These texts from northwestern Ontario - about halfway between Lake Superior and Hudson's Bay
were written in Ojibwe syllabics and are here presented both in their original syllabic form and the
standard roman orthography with the English translation on facing pages. This volume also provides a
detailed introduction and a full glossary (along with an English-Ojibwe index) identifying all words
which appear in the texts.
This is the first collection of narratives from a vast region where upriver Ojibwe communities border on
downriver Cree communities to the north and east.
The narratives in this book both types of northern Ojibwe 1exts. The tipaatisoohkan ('legends') tell
about the mythical past, in the time before the earth and creatures on it were fully formed. The
tipaacimowin ('stories') range from personal experiences to historical accounts.
The collection of stories will be of interest to students of Ojibwe language and literature, as well as to
educators seeking materials produced in and about the Ojibwe language.

�Seventh Annual Stabilizing Indigenous Languages Conference
"Language Across the Community"

May 1 1 - 1 4, 2000, The Toronto Colony Hotel. Toronto, Canada
The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto

For six years now this conference has provided a unique opportunity for people world-wide to come
together to work on practical issues, problems, and solutions to the challenges facing all indigenous
languages. Elders, other community leaders, front-line workers, researchers, administrators, educators.
students, media specialists, and advocates are invited to come and meet fellow workers.and take part in
plenary sessions, workshops, and presentations about many kinds of action to promote, preserve. and
supports indigenous languages. There will be hands-on workshops, descriptions of educational projects
of many kinds, demonstrations of materials that have been produced, and talks by experienced leaders in
the field.
This year's theme is "Language Across the Community", which will emphasize the many ways in
which all community members can become involved in indigenous language activities. As always, it is
expected that SCHOOL PROGRAMS will play an important part, with discussions and demonstrations
related to various roles that the indigenous language can play in the school, such as subject of instruction.
immersion programs, dual education and professional development. and materials and activities
development. Special issues of administration for schools in which an indigenous language plays a role
will come up. We expect to have a whole section of the program devoted to immersion programs.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT is essential. not only to support school programs (recrnit teachers.
support teachers. involve parents, make materials, link language and culture. and so on) but also create
and celebrate real language use in all aspects of life. So. topics like language camps. language in sports
and other community recreation, language at work, language in religion and culture. language and the
media, and language in the community historical and cultural research can be discussed with examples.
Adult literacy in the indigenous language, for example, is a growing activity.
SUPPORT RESEARCH will be covered in workshops and talks by people who are making
dictionaries, studying effective ways of teaching indigenous languages, linking history and culture to
language, planning policies and good administrative practices, and creating centers for language research
and promotion. Conference goers can make their own contacts with people they would like to learn more
from, and information will be available about organizations which help link people involved with
indigenous language work.
We also hope that you will be attracted to the opportunity to visit beautiful Toronto. with our attractive
exchange rates, breakfast with the Mayor, and excellent entertainment by local Aboriginal groups.

Pleasejoin us for the 5th triennial World Indigenous
Peoples' Conference on Education (WIPCE
HAWAri), to be held in Hilo, Hawai'i, from
August 1 to 7, 1999. Na Po'e Hawai'i, the indig­
enous people of Hawai'i, invite you to participate in
this unique assembly, dedicated to learning by tradi­
tional methods and stimulating discussions.
Indigenous educators, artisans, political activists,
healers, and community members are invited to
propose presentations. Each presentation must have
a cultural base, show how the past is bridged into the
present, and have a proven impact on the presenter's
people. We ask presenters not to rehash the validity
of indigenous learning structures or philosophy.
Instead, we wish to focus on past, present and future
projects - ideas that strengthen beliefs and prac­
tices and offer direction and guidance as we enter the
new millennium. Presenters are encouraged to de­
liver their presentation in their native tongue (please
be ready to interpret). The deadline for proposals is
December 31.
The fee for participants who register before Decem­
ber 31 will be $295.

Ojibwe Stories from Lansdowne House
Written by Cecilia Sugarhead

Edited, translated and with a glossary by John O' Meara
This book contains ten stories written by Cecilia Sugarhead, a speaker of Ojibwe from Lansdowne
House. Ontario. These stories are well-known to Ojibwe-speaking people in
northern Ontario.
These texts from northwestern Ontario - about halfway between Lake Superior and Hudson's Bay ­
were written in Ojibwe syllabics and are here presented both in their original syllabic form and the
standard roman orthography with the English translation on facing pages. This volume also provides a
detailed introduction and a full glossary (along with an English-Ojibwe index) identifying all words
which appear in the texts.
This is the first collection of narratives from a vast region where upriver Ojibwe communities border on
downriver Cree communities to the north and east.
The narratives in this book both types of northern Ojibwe texts. The tipaatisoohkan ('legends') tell
about the mythical past. in the time before the earth and creatures on it were fully fonned. The
tipaacimowin ('stories') range from personal experiences to historical accounts.
This collection of stories will be of interest to students of Ojibwe language and literature, as well as to
educators seeking materials produced in and about the Ojibwe language.

�Cree dictionary aims to preserve
language
by Bob Weber
The Canadian Press
Edmonton - After 12 years, Earle Waugh finally has
an answer for the spirit of a feisty, Cree-speaking
nun from Hobbema, Alberta.
"It's done," says Waugh, a University of Al­
berta professor who's just edited a new authoritive
dictionary of the Cree language that was begun by
the late Sister Nancy LeClaire back in the mid-'60s.
"She knew she was dying," says Waugh of
LeClair, whose name appears on the cover of the
newly published book from the University of Al­
berta Press.
"She said to me, 'Dr. Waugh, you know you
have to finish this and I'll be looking over your
shoulder to make sure that you do."'
"The Cree concept of pawakan (spirit) is very
strong. She was there. there's no doubt."
The 577 page Alberta Elders' Cree Dictionary
is the most complete, up-to-date Cree-English re­
source ever published, says Waugh, who worked on
the project for 22 years.
It includes different dialects and slang. There's
a whole section of words that would mystify the
language's original speakers - such as cashmere
(manitowekin, or God's cloth") and VLT (soniyaw
kasiwepayit, or the "machine that spits money").
Cree grammar makes it flexible enough to
welcome new words. As in German, words can be
combined to create neologisms.
"English likes to have a single word that
stands for a particular concept," says Waugh. "Cree
is quite happy to link several words together."
"What's neat about this is that it means that
Cree is adaptive. It's also very colourful and very
vivid."
The dictionary is a cultural document as well.
It defmes manito as "the basic mysterious
quality in the universe," rather than the usual defini­
tion of "God".
It provides an oath for use in court that is
culturally meaningful, since Cree bas little concept
of guilt.
11

The work draws from sources diverse as the
Cree-French lexigon written by Father Albert
Lacombe in 1865, previous works on the language
and the living vocabulary of up to 100 native Cree
speakers from across the Prairies.
George Cardinal, who grew up in northern
Alberta with Cree as his first language, took over
from Sister LeClaire as principal author.
