Squamish Nation, Had Signed the Petition with False and Rude Naiiies .. BY AL PRICE The Chief Anger surfaced at the block- ade at Mile 21 Saturday morning when it was found many of the participants in the Witness Program, sponsored by the Squamish Nation, had signed the petition with false and rude naiiies. Spokesman Ken Bayers said discussions earlier in the week with Squamish Nation Chief Bill Williams resulted in an agree- ment that all Witness program participants would sign the petition, which calls on the boovernment to force anyone stopping logging operations to provide compensation, arid that all would ‘leave the camp at Mile 53 of the Sinims Creek Valley on Sunday night. The Witness Program, led by wilderness educator John Clarke, includes sessions on photography, healing aspects of the rainforest, forest ecolo- gy, storytelling, mountaineer- ing and wilderness camping. Approxi mat el y 80 part ici - pants were led through the blockade by Williams, escort- ed by members of the Squamish Nation Peacekeepers. They handed over the signed petitions at the gate, but moments after the cavalcade left, it was found to include the signatures Blue Jay, Jose Tango, I. B.

    Reflections and Memories: ‘Resiliency’ Concerning the Walpole Island Residential School Survivors Group A Dissertation submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Indigenous Studies TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (c) Copyright by Theresa Turmel Indigenous Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program September 2013 ABSTRACT Gaagnig Pane Chiyaayong: Forever, We Will Remain Reflections and Memories: ‘Resiliency’ Concerning the Walpole Island Residential School Survivors Group Theresa Turmel From 1830 to 1996, Canada pursued a policy of removing Indigenous children from their families and educating them in residential schools. In coming to terms with the harsh and abusive treatment they endured, many survivors from residential schools have formed organizations to support each other and to make their experiences known. This project is a result of a participatory, community-based partnership with one such group in southwestern Ontario, the Walpole Island Residential School Survivors Group (WIRSSG), many of whom attended Shingwauk Indian Residential School. Like most of the survivors of the WIRSSG, I am Anishinaabe but did not attend residential school. The survivors invited me to deeply listen to their life experiences in order to learn about their resiliency. Guided by traditional Anishinaabe teachings and using an Anishinaabe methodology, I interviewed thirteen survivors and considered their life stories within the context of the traditional Anishinaabe life cycle. In their descriptions of resiliency, what became clear to me was that they were describing life force energy. This life force energy is innate and holistic, and can be found within each of us.

Mitchell A practicum submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Landscape Architecture Department of Landscape Architecture Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba Winnipeg, MB Copyright © 2014 by Sarah C.R. Mitchell Dedicated to my parents, Dan & Linda, without whom this would have been impossible Above: At Kakabeka Falls during spring flooding,photograph by Heidi Mitchell, 2012 Cover Photo of this Document: View across Lake Superior towards the Sleeping Giant from Mission Island at the Kaministiquia River Delta ii Cover Photo on Album Case: View of the Kaministiquia Delta and the Nor’Westers from the air, photograph by Ben Mitchell, 2013 Abstract The modern interaction we have with the natural environment surrounding our cities is often limited to designated areas that usually contain manicured trails and other well-signed features. When information is very limited or absent we often avoid exploring such areas and instead opt for others both familiar and easily accessible. Mapping as a means to engage a community is a method that encourages exploration and discovery. Often there are hidden treasures of our communities’ backyards that have nearly been lost to time and memory. The opportunities and experiences that such places can offer are too rich to be lost forever. This practicum is an attempt to reconnect and engage residents and visitors of Thunder Bay, Ontario, with the historically significant Kaministiquia River. It focuses on the Kaministiquia from Kakabeka Falls to Lake Superior.

  • Sarah De Leeuw a Thesis Submitted to the Department of Geography In
    ARTFUL PLACES: CREATIVITY AND COLONIALISM IN BRITISH COLUMBIA’S INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS Sarah de Leeuw A thesis submitted to the Department of Geography in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September 2007 © Sarah de Leeuw, 2007 ABSTRACT Residential schools for Aboriginal children were a primary site of negotiations between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous subjects. These schools, and the records of peoples who occupied them, provide opportunities to better understand colonialism in British Columbia. Residential schools were places created to transform Aboriginal children, through assimilation, into a modernizing and colonial society. They are simultaneously places that offer access to Indigenous articulations of self and Indigeneity, expressions of resistance, and exertions of agency. Cultural products created by children in residential schools, particularly creative art products, allow us to visualize and understand Indigenous response to and evasions of colonial education. When taken together with Aboriginal peoples’ testimonies about the residential school experience, and with colonial records of the schools’ intents, children’s creative materials and expressions allow some access to the complex places that constituted the cultural geography of colonialism in British Columbia. i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Years ago, when I was the Coordinator of the Terrace Women’s Resource Centre and worked with a number of First Nations individuals and organizations in northern British Columbia, I was constantly reminded by those with whom I worked that “it takes a community to raise a child.” The same might be said about writing a Ph.D. dissertation: it takes a community. Without a large and vibrant community of thoughtful, supportive, kind, humorous, and stimulating people, I could never have completed a dissertation, let alone all the other requirements of a Ph.D.
