    Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and Their Program Choices

    Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Program Choices by Pamela Williamson A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Higher Education Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Pamela Williamson (2011) Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Post-Secondary Program Choices Doctor of Higher Education 2011 Pamela Williamson Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The exploratory study focused on First Nation students and First Nation education counsellors within Ontario. Using an interpretative approach, the research sought to determine the relevance of the counsellors as a potentially influencing factor in the students‘ post-secondary program choices. The ability of First Nation education counsellors to be influential is a consequence of their role since they administer Post- Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) funding. A report evaluating the program completed by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in 2005 found that many First Nation students would not have been able to achieve post-secondary educational levels without PSSSP support. Eight self-selected First Nation Education counsellors and twenty-nine First Nation post- secondary students participated in paper surveys, and five students and one counsellor agreed to complete a follow-up interview. The quantitative and qualitative results revealed differences in the perceptions of the two survey groups as to whether First Nation education counsellors influenced students‘ post-secondary program choices.

  • The First Nations

    The First Nations

    Our First Nations Neighbours Peter Jones - c1845 According to several accounts, the first European to travel through Rice Lake was Samuel de Champlain about 1615. But... Artifacts from a 1974 archaeological dig on Rice Lake’s Sugar Island are on display in the Alderville Community Centre. They point to the existence of human settlement in this area about 1000-1500 years ago, or during the Middle Woodland Period. While all Canadians can join in the celebration of 150 years since four provinces formed the Dominion of Canada, First Nations can look back over a much longer history on these lands. The current residents of Alderville First Nation, on the south shore of Rice Lake, have a rich heritage. Wars between the various native tribes in southern Ontario and the northern American states, wars between the French and the English, changing alliances between all four, and various treaties were the story of the 1600s, 1700s and early 1800s. They all set the stage for the more recent story of our native community. At the time of the American Revolution (1775) people of the Mississauga nation were living in this area. As settlers continued to pour in from the United States, the Mississauga’s traditional semi-nomadic way of life was increasingly under threat. The landscape was changing, and the Mississauga were gradually pushed from their traditional hunting grounds. “The establishment of farms and additional settlements in the decades to follow disrupted the Mississauga’s fishing and hunting... Many Indians were hungry for new religious guidance, since their old religion seemed incapable of protecting them.” “I cannot suppose for a moment that the Supreme Disposer has decreed that the doom of Donald Smith, Sacred Feathers the red man is to fall and gradually disappear, like the mighty wilderness, before the axe of the European settler” – Peter Jones.

    A Short History of Chief Island 1856-2007 As Prepared by Leclair

    A SHORT HISTORY OF CHIEF ISLAND, 1856-2007 Abstract A brief examination of Chippewas of Rama First Nation’s assertion to title Prepared for Chippewas of Rama First Nation by Leclair Historical Research, June 2021 PRIVILEDGED AND CONFIDENTIAL Introduction In late May 2021 Cathy Edney, Communications Manager, Rama First Nation contacted Leclair Historical Research asking for a primer on the status of Chief Island, Rama Township. Rama First Nation asserts that this island is part of the traditional territory of the Chippewas of Lake Huron and Simcoe, and more specifically, that of Rama First Nation. A search of the historical abstract books for Ramara Township housed at Simcoe County’s Land Registry Office # 51 was also undertaken as a precaution against the question of a title conflict. 1 No cloud on the title to the island was found. In sum, Chief Island has never been covered by treaty and remains Indigenous territory. It has a special significance for Rama First Nation as it has been used as a burial ground for its people for centuries. It is also the final resting place of those ancient ancestors whose care has been entrusted to Rama First Nation. Through a Joint Band Council Resolution passed among the Chippewas of Rama, Beausoleil Island and Georgina Island in 1964, and an accompanying federal Ministerial Order, Chief Island has been expressly named as part of the reserve lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. 1 The historical land abstract books are available online through the government of Ontario’s ONLAND, land registry access. https://www.onland.ca/ui/25/books/search.

  • Cat Lake First Nation Housing Crisis

    Cat Lake First Nation Housing Crisis

    March 6, 2019 The Hon. Seamus O’Regan Minister of Indigenous Services House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Minister O’Regan, Like most Canadians, the members of the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) were shocked and saddened to learn about the health and housing crisis in Cat Lake First Nation, which prompted a call for emergency assistance last month. The physical illnesses experienced by the children and families of Cat Lake First Nation, including respiratory and skin problems, are the visible consequences of poor housing. Such conditions are both preventable and unacceptable in our resource-rich country. They also have both immediate and long- term health consequences, including compromising children’s mental, developmental and social health. Inadequate housing has been linked with an increased risk for asthma, injury, and exposure to health hazards. Overcrowding is associated with a wider and faster spread of communicable diseases, such as lower respiratory tract infections and gastroenteritis. Children and youth living in crowded housing conditions also experience more mental health difficulties and problems in schools. We commend your swift action and commitment to invest in housing for Cat Lake as outlined in your interim framework agreement with First Nations leaders, including Cat Lake Chief Matthew Keewaykapow. However, we believe this agreement does not go nearly far enough. Like all children in Canada, the children of Cat Lake have a right to healthy home environments where they can live, play, and grow. The consequences of failing to meet this basic need are both acute and chronic, and will affect their current health and future life chances.
