Page 2 Anishinabek News November 2010 Grand Council Assembly Garden River Adding feathers Four more feathers were added to the Anishinabek Nation Eagle Staff during the Fall Assembly in Garden River. Chief Barron King, Moose Deer Point, Chief Alfred Bisaillon, Thessalon, and Nipissing First Nation councillor Arnold May added their community's feathers, as did Chief Patrick Waddilove, Munsee-Delaware. Chiefs encourage census participation By Esther Gilbank Despite privacy concerns, Anishinabek Nation Chiefs have endorsed a plan to have their citizens actively participate in the May, 2011 Na- tional Household Survey, or “long-form census”. A Nov. 9 resolution at the Fall Assembly in Garden River directs Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee to sign a memorandum of un- derstanding with Statistics Canada that would see member First Nations endorse a sample band council resolution and communiqué explaining the census to community members and urging their participation. “It is vitally important that our First Nation communities and all our citizens, who reside both on and off reserve, participate in the May 2011 census by completing the long form or NHS survey, “ said Chief Isadore Day, Chairperson of the Chiefs Committee on Governance, which initi- ated the discussion at the June 2009 Grand Council held in Fort William. The voluntary 58-question long form provides details on First Na- tions’ data and issues that are not included in the mandatory, short-form survey. “To receive the proper funding for our communities we must do our part by providing the necessary information so funding amounts reflect the needs of our on and off reserve populations,” added Chief Day. In the past, participation rates among the Anishinabek has been over 80%, but the concern for the upcoming census, set to start May 2011, is that participation will drop dramatically if the survey is not filled out. Without a high participation rate,, it will be difficult to assess Anishina- bek educational, housing and social needs, for example. Under the memorandum of understanding between Union of Ontario Indians and Statistics Canada, Anishinabek Nation citizens would be hired to go door-to-door to help explain the census forms and explain the importance of filling out the long-form. Both the mandatory and volun- tary forms will also be available on-line. “Without good, relevant information, our communities’ needs are not accurately reflected, resulting in low and inappropriate funding for us,” Chief Day said. The Garden River resolution directs Statistics Canada to provide the results of this survey to the First Nations Statisical Institution (FNSI) for security purposes.

  • 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.
