Mr. Twoyoungmen’s goal is to teach First Nations young people their Stoney language and culture so that it remains viable and thriving. Helmer will be teaching the young people of MECCS to make instruments such as flutes, hand drums, rattles, and many cultural crafts. Helmer will also be sharing stories from his culture and experiences on a variety of topics. Reclaiming Hope with Youth Project We would like to thank Poundmaker’s Lodge for their generous donation of the six forty five gallon drums. Their commitment to helping “Reclaiming Hope with Youth Project” in our school is sincerely appreciated. Our students in grade six to nine will be designing and painting the drums with strength based messages to be used around the school yard for garbage cans as part of our “Reclaiming Hope with Youth Project” Pictures will be posted in our newsletter when the drums are complete. Illustrator Lorna Bennett will be working with our grade six to nine students teaching drawing, and helping the students to design their messages for our garbage cans, as well as benches and picnic tables to be used out side in our junior high’s “Hope Space” Lorna attended the Fine Arts/Arts programs at Grant MacEwan College and The Univer- sity of Alberta.

Lorna Bennett, Illustrator Mother Earth’s Children’s Charter School October 2011 Apple Slice September was a fantastic month! The staff and students have par- ticipated in many activities that promote active living and healthy eating. Taste Testing Every week the students have tasted a variety of apples, as well as grapes. They compared different apples, such as Gala, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady and Ginger Gold. Ask your child which apple they liked the best! Also, the students tasted red, green and blue grapes, deciding which one was their favourite. Apples, Apples, Apples Students have an opportunity to eat sliced apples in the morning and before they go on the bus. Sometimes students receive a whole apple when they get off the bus at the end of the day. The students are striving for 5 servings of fruits or vegetables when they are at school. Fun Fitness Fridays Every Friday, each class participates in 30 minutes of physical activity. In September, the students tried a series of fun fitness stations, as well as played parachute games. In addition, some classes played “Noodle Floor Hockey”, which is floor hockey using pool noodles for hockey sticks and a noodle “knot” for the hockey puck! APPLE Schools Launch On Friday, September 23, MECCS was officially introduced as an AP- PLE School! Photographs of the students participating in active living and healthy eating were displayed for everyone that attended the event. Thank you to the students, staff, elders, parents and community members for making the APPLE launch a wonderful event! **Students can look forward to the opening of the Snack Shack (formerly known as MECCS Canteen), as well as “Spooktacular” Fun Fitness Fridays!** Melissa Purcell APPLE Schools Health Facilitator Mother Earth’s Children’s Charter School October 2011 Mother Earth’s Children’s Charter School October 2011 .

  • ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES: REVITALIZATION Excerpt from Peoples and Cultural Change Teacher Resource
    Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum Healing Historical Trauma ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES: REVITALIZATION Excerpt from Peoples and Cultural Change Teacher Resource ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES: REVITALIZATION In Alberta, the major Aboriginal languages spoken are Blackfoot, two variants of Plains Cree (one sometimes known as Woodland Cree), Dene Suliné, Dene Tha’, Dunne-Za, Métis Cree, Michif, Nakoda, Saulteaux, and Tsuu T’ina. More than half of the sixty Aboriginal languages in Canada today are endangered. Ten Aboriginal languages have become extinct over the past century. With a growing general awareness of the importance of maintaining Aboriginal languages, an increasing number of specific programs and community efforts aimed at revitalization are underway. From 1996 to 2001, eight languages showed an increase in the number of speakers. According to Statistics Canada, more people can now carry on a conversation in Inuktitut, Dene, Montagnais-Naskapi, Attikamekw, Mi’kmaq, Dakota, and Oji-Cree. The Aboriginal Studies 10 text, Aboriginal Perspectives, also presents statistics for Aboriginal languages in Canada. A New Beginning The first Aboriginal language immersion program in Canada was established in 1980 by the Mohawk people of Kahnawake, Quebec. It was modelled after the French immersion programs elsewhere in the province, and it has since become a model for other Aboriginal communities in North America. Recent surveys of language use show an increase in the speaking of Mohawk, including mixed into English conversations and in private by young people. Overall, more people are now able to speak Mohawk, especially the younger generation who went through the immersion program. The middle generation, however, did not know the language and had not learned it.

The Stoney community is centeredat Morley, Alberta (Canada), and the population of thethree bands--Bear's Paw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney--is nearly 2,700. The tribe isa member of the Assiniboine branch of the Siouan languagefamily. In 1965, the Stoney Tribal Council entered intoan agreement with the Summer Institute of Linguistics to develop a writing system forthe Stoney language, and a standard alphabet was devised following the Roman orthography tradition. The first stage of the StoneLanguage Project resulted in the preparation of six books for both adultsand children, as well as a videotape version of one of them foruse with third graders. Each of the Stoney legends in the bookletswas told by an Elder and the accompanying illustrationsare by Stoney artists. These activities and additional work on legendsare described.

  • Chiniki First Nation Summary T
    PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT Annex B: Summary of information available and preliminary depth of consultation assessment (DOCA) Chiniki First Nation Summary The Major Projects Management Office (MPMO) conducted a preliminary depth of consultation assessment based on currently available information about the potential impacts of the NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. 2021 Expansion Project (the Project) on Chiniki First Nation’s (Chiniki) section 35 Aboriginal and Treaty rights. This assessment will guide the design and implementation of the MPMO’s consultation activities with Chiniki First Nation. Through this assessment, the MPMO sought to gain a preliminary understanding of the nature and extent of Chiniki First Nation’s section 35 Aboriginal and Treaty rights1. The MPMO then used this preliminary information to determine the extent to which those rights could be adversely impacted by the Project, and the likelihood of that impact. The assessment will be updated should new information to inform the assessment become available. The assessment is solely for the purposes of planning and conducting consultation; the assessment will not, in and of itself, form the basis for assessing the adequacy of consultation. Preliminary Conclusion Based on the information available at this time, the depth of consultation owed to Chiniki falls in the middle part of the consultation spectrum2. If there is any additional information with regard to 1) potential or established section 35 Aboriginal and Treaty rights, or 2) the potential impacts of the Project on those rights, please provide this information to the Crown Consultation Team at [email protected]. Summary of Currently Available Information about Chiniki First Nation Chiniki is one of the most northwestern representatives of the Siouan language family.

  • Histories in Relation: Viewing Archival Photographs of Banff Indian Days with Stoney Nakoda Elders
    Master of Arts – Integrated Studies HISTORIES IN RELATION: VIEWING ARCHIVAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF BANFF INDIAN DAYS WITH STONEY NAKODA ELDERS By DAGNY DUBOIS Integrated Studies Final Project Project (MAIS 701) submitted to Dr. Carol Payne in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta February 2018 Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Abstract In the archival record, photographs of Banff Indian Days have been framed primarily through a Settler lens. A more balanced approach to these images and the historical analysis of Settler-Indigenous relations during this event is needed. Using an interdisciplinary approach along with methodologies inspired by Indigenous epistemologies, I presented photographs of Banff Indian Days taken by Catharine and Peter Whyte in 1945-55 to Stoney Nakoda Elders in a series of interviews. By employing the notion of photographs as ‘relational objects’ as outlined by scholars such as Elizabeth Edwards, I seek to understand this concept of relationality and how it aligns with Stoney Nakoda perspectives. In this case study, the voices of Stoney Nakoda Elders, Catharine Whyte (via her written letters), and myself are included as a way to reframe photographs of Banff Indian Days in a multivocal and multiperspectival way.
