Vancouver. 8, 8. C. Phone: 228-4662 - 2 - ACHIEVP0 ENT This final edition of the Indian Education Newsletter for school. year 1972 - 73 will emphasize \"Adhievement\" as its theme. Long accepted by readers as a newsletter promoting exchange of ideas, on-going reports on special educational projects, and a place to give opinions and ideas relating to the field of Indian Education, this edition will attempt to account and summarize various achievements, progress, etc. that may tend to reflect the forward thrust that took place this year. By no means is this an attempt to say that Indian Education problems are rapidly being solved, for there is a long rough road ahead before any headway can be tabulated, especially in teacher awareness and attitude or Indian involve- ment. Hopefully this positive wind-up measure will serve to encourage more effort for the coming year. ******************o.**** ACHIEVEMENTS GEORGE LAWSON - Grade 12 of Port Simpson will graduate from Brittania .

We encourage all areas who plan to appoint Home-School Co-ordinators to contact the Indian Education Resources Center. ****************** ****^*t** * -5 - Teacher aides became much recognized and controversial figures in the B. C. Educational scene over the course of, the last school year. For Indians, the teacher aide is rapidly assuming a very important role in the classroom. Going beyond the stereo-typed image of glorified \"baby-sitter and errand runner,\" the Indian teacher aide is taking the important role of tutor, interpreter, identification figure, guide, and friend to an Indian in a class who ordinarily does not have these services. Lacking professional certification, these teacher aides are, as budding potential figures, at the mercy of many. Unrecognized and considered a threat to the concept of professionalism, the teacher aide is viewed as a threat to the security of the professional teacher. Funding is vague and a hesitant problem complicating matters highly. The teacher-aide training program set-up so successfully in Lillooet almost stumbled and fell because the LIP funds whon usee to pay salaries were so small and lasted only, until May 31. One of the best programs to come to light in many a day has made a tremendous impact on the schools who have used them, the teacher aide programs must seek relevant training programs, recognition on a professional level, and funding. For all these stumbling blocks the program had taken a giant step ahead. Indian Studies has caught fire in several areas in the province of B.C. Long recognised by Indians and non-Indians alike as a great contributor to the negative,image of Indian people, the lack of information pertinent to the life style past and present, motivations, languages, and social aspects of Indian life has itself presented a serious barrier to communications. It is the belief, by many, that a well organized systematic Indian Studies course instituted within the local school curriculum would be immense benefit in breaking down walls of prejudice and mis-understanding with informative content. Because 49,000 status Indian people on 188 reserves speak 32 Indian dialects under .10 language groups, no provincial Indian Studies program could ever be relevant lo the whole pTovince. This problem logically demands local involvement on a strictly local approach. Indian Studies programs of an active nature are taking place in Masset, Lytton, Williams Lake, Terrace and Prince Rupert. We highly encourage this type of program, but we caution local people in that Indian history, culture, language, legends are merely entertaining, and educational benefit would not rise as much as if they were compared with other cultures in such areas as philosophy, life-styles, foods, languages, medicines, dress, etc. We realize that Indian languages are gradually being lost and that rocal Indian people are becoming increasingly sensitive to this, but, each locality must decide for itself about Indian studies. Should it be in the schools or out? Should non-Indians take the course? Should it be in Elementary or Secondary? Should non-Indians take the. course? *************** *******************^*** 6... Will there be accreditation? These and other questions bring up the possibility that perhaps two programs - 1) one in the schools to bring about the necessary awareness of the positive and progressive side to Indian life as compared to other cultures. 2) one on the reserves where co-ordinated efforts could be made to gather and circulate existing information, research and compilation of materials. This type of effort is needed to record Indian life before it disappears. Cultural Education Centers such as those being planned in Fish Lake and at Coqualeetza in the Fraser Valley could accomplish these ends and be a good base of operations for a Native Indian Studies program for the schools.

KITIMAAT/TERRACE 1973/74 Are you concerned with what your Indian students are getting out of school? Do you feel you don't know enough about the background of the Indian people in your area? Would you like to spend nine Saturdays with others who have similar interests, and problems to yours? Would you like to know the viewpoints of Indian people towards you as a teacher and your school? Would you like to plan new programs with help from Indian teachers, Home-School Co-ordinators, parents and students? Would you like to know more about Indian organizations and their policies to- wards education? Would you like to brush-up on teaching techniques that will help you give a better educational opportunity to your Indian students? COURSE DESCRIPTION: Education 479 is a relatively new course, designed to aid teachers' in developing the ability to adapt education to the needs of Indian students. A basic assumption in the course is that, while there are many similarities and dif- ferences between all children, our present educational programs often do not take into account differences, mostly cultural and economic, which many Indian children share. The content is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the historical and contemporary background of Indian Education. This is done through interaction with Indian people by means of panels, small group discussions, field trips; by presentations from Indian organizations, Department of Indian Affairs personnel, teachers and administrators. Part II deals with adapting teaching to the needs of Indian children including curriculum development, language arts topics (English as a Second Language, Language Experience), resources, counselling com- munication, interpersonal relationships, and a variety of case studies. HAZELTON, PRINCE RUPERT TEACHERS, and others from outlying areas note that meetings are concentrated in the fall and late spring when driving conditions are better. See tentative schedule on back.

Vancouvet 8, B.C."@en, "[This collection includes materials relevant to Indigenous education, including the seminal Indian Education Newsletter that was published by the Indian Education Resources Center (IERC). The IERC, a precursor to the Xwi7xwa Library, was established in 1970 with a mandate to improve the educational opportunities for Aboriginal students in British Columbia. Formed through the collaborative efforts of the Indian Teachers of B.C. (later the British Columbia Native Indian Teachers' Association BCNITA), the UBC Faculty of Education and the Extension Department with funding from the Department of Indian Affairs, the Center was located in a hut near the Education building and later moved to Brock Hall. A Center Council of 15 elected Aboriginal educators guided the IERC's goals to: acquire and distribute current and accurate Aboriginal resources; sponsor courses and programs relevant to teachers of Indian students; facilitate communication between Aboriginal education groups; and promote the involvement of Aboriginal people in education decision-making. The first issue of the Indian Education Newsletter was produced in October 1970 and it continued publication until February 1977 with a gap between 1975-1976 due to funding issues. The Newsletter included lists of resource materials distributed by the Center, conference reports, regional reports, grant information, activities of BCNITA, recommended (and not recommended) children's literature, curriculum ideas, guidance counsellor and home school co-ordinators' reports, an initial history of the UBC Native Indian Teacher Education Program (NITEP) and other news relevant to Aboriginal education.]"@en ; edm:hasType "Other"@en ; edm:isShownAt "10.14288/1.0103196"@en ; dcterms:language "eng"@en ; ns0:peerReviewStatus "Unreviewed"@en ; edm:provider "Vancouver : University of British Columbia Library"@en ; dcterms:publisher "Indian Education Resources Center, University of British Columbia"@en ; dcterms:rights "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International"@en ; ns0:rightsURI "http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/"@en ; ns0:scholarLevel "Other"@en ; dcterms:subject "Aboriginal Education"@en ; dcterms:title "Indian Education Newsletter, Vol. 3, no. 10"@en ; dcterms:type "Text"@en ; ns0:identifierURI "http://hdl.handle.net/2429/32920"@en .
