PAGE 4, Mardi 4, 1988, WINDSPEAKER WINDSPEAKER Editorial GALLERY---IMPIP Are schools giving us all of the facts? Several years ago, one of the greatest criticisms about education curriculum materials focusing on Native people, history and issues had to do with how Natives were portrayed and the existence of multiple inaccuracies, omissions and negative stereotyping. Simply put, certain materials did not present a true reflection of the Native world and often, such material was counter -productive, due to biased viewpoints within the text. To compensate, Alberta Education embarked on a mission which, on the surface, appeared as if it might resolve the enigma. It unveiled a plan that would hopefully right the wrongs of curriculum. The province established the Native Education Project (NEP), a department that would organize, promote, monitor and fund the development of Native textbooks for use in schools throughout the province. The labor was conducted by local representatives of the Native and non- Native community - what the NEP BUT POWERFUL coined as "a mutualistic mode" and involved The exhibit also featured the work of Native artists This untitled acrylic on canvas by Joanne Cardinal- teachers and lay people.
