ERIKA FAUST INTERROBANG 1. What’s one thing we should know about you and one thing we shouldn’t? I guess one thing everyone knows about me is my dislike for the . I guess after the season they had last year, I suppose the one thing you shouldn’t know is that I’m a Sens fan. 2. What has been your best memory at Fanshawe so far? First and foremost, my favourite memory is just meeting all of these incredible people. The teachers I’ve had in Architecture and Business have been grade-A, and the friends I’ve made along the way are some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! I love being a part of the crew of amazing people at FSU and Fanshawe Athletics. I feel very welcomed at Fanshawe and cherish the people I’ve met. 3. Put your MP3 player on shuffle – what three songs come up? 1. “Locomotive Breath” by Jethro Tull 2. “The Wizard” by Uriah Heep 3. “Beck’s Bolero” by The Jeff Beck Group 4. What movie most resembles your life? I’d have to say Rudy. It’s a classic sports movie starring Sean Astin (aka Samwise Gamgee of the Shire). Besides being a giraffe, I see parts of myself in that little scrappy guy. As corny as it sounds, I know that if I get knocked down, I’ll always get back up. If someone tells me no, it kind of makes me want to do it more. 5. What’s one TV show you would recommend to everyone? I would recommend the oldie but goldie Cheers - it’s a classic. The whole atmosphere of the show is amazing. The writing is fantastic and the actors will always make you laugh. I remember visiting the two Cheers locations in Boston and seeing how proud the city is to be associated with such a funny show. Definitely check it out if you want to be reminded of a “simpler” time. STUDENT UNION FINANCIALS 2010 / 2011

Indigenous studies? How about colonial studies? We need to spend less time on the ‘Indian problem’ and more time on the imperial one

ADAM GAUDRY AND ELAINE ALEXIE THE MARTLET VICTORIA (CUP) — When one thinks about what is taught in indigenous studies, too often one thinks of a romanticized anthropological study of indigenous cul- ture — basically white people studying “Indians.” While the ongoing presence of indige- nous students, staff and faculty in the academy have challenged this perception, some non-Natives assume the department offers classes on indigenous peoples in order to teach two things: indigenous cul- tures (classic ethnography) and the “Indian problem.” The latter usually takes the tone of, “What is wrong with Native communi- ties, and how can we (‘we’ being non- Natives) fix it.” This content is unfulfilling for indigenous students who enroll to develop skills to work in their communi- ties. In class, we often find ourselves caught in the same old discussions, while others, new to our lived reality, take some time to catch up. It gets to the point where all indigenous-focused classes, even upper- year ones, seem like “Intro to Native Studies” all over again. There is a genuine interest among some settler folks in learn- ing about indigenous peoples; this is good. How I feel about Mitchell But it doesn’t mean that a colonial way of learning about indigenous peoples has been discarded. In fact, in the classrooms of universities across the country, Native students are usually expected to be the Wilson’s death authority on all things Native for the other students.
