Winter 2019 Newsletter Winter 2018 Aboriginal Education SHARING STORIES TO S UPPORT OUR CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES voice kiʔsuk kyukyit – Good afternoon, Ktunaxa territory xastsxlxalt – Good day, nslxcin from Sinixt territory Weyt-kp – Hello, Secwepemc territory Tawnshi - Hello, Michif (Language of the Metis People) Nestled in the mountains with still a light frosting of snow, Aboriginal Education is well underway for the 2018-2019 school year. We are moving forward with the Aboriginal Education department goals of improving literacy and numeracy through land based learning, providing opportunities for students to share their individual stories, and working toward Truth before Reconciliation, deepening relationships with the traditional territories our school district operates on and the Metis Nation. Created by the Aboriginal Education staff last year, we looked at the fire within and our daily work with students, families, and communities. This is such an exciting time in education, in history, and in our personal stories – as we all witness Indigenous ways of knowing blossom! What does blossoming look like in SD8? Whether that is through student pride in sharing a pow wow dance, a personal regalia story, a drum song, a new graphic design, entrance to College, or graduating with dignity and identity, or connecting to community teachings, or finding a sense of belonging in school, the faces of SD8 Aboriginal students, their learning, their successes and their dreams and goals are diverse. Yet, we see the goals of our District Enhancement Agreement flourishing through a variety of student successes, as individual as each of those bright faces. The District Aboriginal Education Advisory Committee and Elders’ Council, for the first time this year, welcomed guests from both the Syilx, Okanagan Nation Alliance, as well as guests from Enderby, from the Secwepemc Nation. Sitting alongside, long standing guests from Lower Kootenay Band and the Metis Nation, the council meeting in November was rich with collaboration, introduction, and shared learning. We also invited student voice to this council, which is another shift in a new and positive direction. We look forward to continuing to walk alongside Aboriginal students in SD8, as the seasons change and new dreams emerge.

Welcome to winter! One of the great things about having our District Aboriginal Education office based out of Trafalgar Middle School is the beautiful views we get of the mountains surrounding Nelson. This morning as I Running into our friends, Leah, Jessica, write this, I am watching the dustings of and Angus (not pictured but there in snow glisten as the morning sun first hits spirit), from Selkirk College! it. It’s sparkling and it’s incredible. Looking forward to playing in this snow! These past couple months have been full of learning, relationships, new friendships, and teachings. We have had time to strengthen our partnerships with our friends at Selkirk College on the topic of Indigenization. We have also had the chance to meet and get to know some of our incredible Nation partners from the area. It has been a very humbling and exciting time. Thank you to our partners for your teachings, time, and kindness as we embark on this journey! SD8 staff rockin’ our mocs! I was very lucky to attend the 2018 FNESC conference with a few friends from the district. Many great workshops and many inspiring people. We also had the opportunity to tour North Vancouver School District and learn from Brad Baker, Vancouver School District, and the University of British Columbia. I was lucky enough to meet one of my favorite authors at the conference, Eden Robinson (Monkey Beach and Son of a Trickster). One of the many teachings that has been sticking with me since then is this teaching from Kevin Loring…”Stories are medicine…they allow us to slip into the worlds of others…they create wonder and excitement…they remind us of what is important”. Now it is up to us to use our voice and tell those stories. Oh, by the Reconciliation Pole at UBC way, Eden’s current book recommendations are the Marrow Thieves and Moon of the Crusted Snow. One of the main highlights of the past few months has been getting to know our amazing students and staff around the district. From Meadow Creek, to Slocan, Drumming with students at Jewett Elementary to Creston, to Salmo, and everywhere in between – we have incredible students and staff. Thanks for welcoming me to your schools and for learning with me! Warm wishes, Danica Weager (Peguis Nation), District Indigenization Learning dance steps from students at Authors panel at the 2018 FNESC Conference! Erickson Elementary Coordinator 2 Canyon Lister Super Stars! Submitted by Laurel Ewashen of Canyon Lister Elementary Our Be the Change students from CLES, had the amazing opportunity to attend We Day in Vancouver this November 22! As a celebration of their efforts during the past six years which included raising money to build a well in Kenya, purchase bricks to build a school in Ethiopia, raise local awareness about the importance of water, pollution, invasive plants and participating in a community building spaghetti dinner fundraiser, students were given the privilege of reserved seats and a backstage pass to meet the some of the amazing presenters. One individual they visited with was Spencer West. Spencer lost his legs as a young child and has met and conquered so many challenges in his life inspiring our students to be who they are, to try their best, to stand up for what you believe in! The day began with the acknowledgement of the traditional territories as the Chief welcomed the audience to their Salish territory saying it is everyone's land to become connected to, to take care of and protect. Several presenters spoke of their First Nation's ancestry; all were role models for our students that heard about the good, the challenging and the journey that we must all take in our lives as we learn who we are and strive to be who we want to be! And there is more!! Scare the Hunger efforts collected 390 non- perishable food items that were then donated to our local Gleaners food bank! Bannock Bakers were busy during our Metis Awareness month! A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Laurel Ewashen and all the Canyon Lister Elementary School students for their incredible community work! 3 News from Nelson Family of Schools Submitted by Jenna Hopper of Nelson Family of Schools As Fall winds down and we move into the deep contemplative time of winter, an inner stillness begins to call our attention. This is a time for reflection and integration of the seasons past. Spiraling inwards we seek understanding. My time in the Nelson Family of Schools has been busy to say the least! The winter months will allow me to look more intently inward and reflect on where we have been and where we may yet go. Some students were looking to our teacher, the sweetgrass braid, to help us understand flexibility and peaceful strength. Students have been practicing their three strand braiding while acknowledging the teaching of mind, body and spirit. To learn any new skill is challenging and I have been so proud to see how many of the students have embraced their braiding despite how tricky it can be at first! This is a braid that was created by South Nelson students. They were asked to select three fabrics. Other students were looking to our teacher, the squirrel, One to represent body, one mind and one spirit. to guide our path. Gathering acorns, drying them, cracking them with rocks and other hand tools, boiling them (like...a lot) and grinding them with large rocks, creating our own mortar and pestles on the earth .All of this was done in honor of the work that our ancestors would have been embodying. The students carried this work with real dignity and perseverance. Experiencing pattern recognition through the teachings of eagle mouse with all of the students has been really rewarding. To teach them that we are all related in this web of life, for me, is the heart of our ways of knowing. It is the love. This is what frames the picture. Holds it like the sacred treasure that it is. Sharpening the tool of observation through story is one of the things our elders are so masterful at. They help us to see the picture that is framed by relationality. They embody it. I was honored to have guest Sandra Jacques, a Mi'kmaq traditional Knowledge Keeper and friend. Sandra taught the students, and myself, more about the grandmother drum that is at Wildflower. We learnt that you can give the mother drum a drink of water! I thought that was so beautiful. Sandra was wonderful with the students and they had so many interesting questions for her! We were able to do some cooking in the kitchen. We made bannock. Although bannock is not a traditional food, nor is it very nutritious, it is incredibly comforting. In these times of uncertainty and disconnection, sometimes a piece of bannock works its own unique medicine. Being in the kitchen with our grannies, aunties and moms is so important. Now we will look to our teacher, winter, to guide our paths. We simply have no choice. Winter is a stern, obedient teacher. Year after year it endures and so too do we. Even more from CLES! Submitted by Laurel Ewashen of Canyon Lister Our Remembrance Day Assembly was filled with reminders of gratitude.

  • Position and Extent of the Elongation Zone in the Root Tip of the Broad Beanvicia Faba L
    BIOLOGIA PLANTARUM (PRAHA) 8 (6) : 427--430, 1966 Position and Extent of the Elongation Zone in the Root Tip of the Broad Bean Vicia faba L. ALENA ADA_MKOVX and KAREL BENE~ Institute of Experimental Botany, Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Praha* Received November 9, 1965 Abstract. It was found by measuring the length of the cortex cells of the root tips of the broad bean Vieia faba L. that the beginning of the elongation zone lies at about 1--2 ram from the initials and its end at about 7--8 mm fl'om the initials. Shrinkage of the object during micro- technical treatment was negligible. The autonomy of the individual tissues of the root tip was taken into account. Introduetion Biochemical investigation of anatomically strictly defined parts of the root tip has become a common method for studying cell growth and tissue differ- antiation (BRow~r and BROADBENT 1951, I~OBINSO~r and BROW~r 1952). The results of the present work should serve as an anatomical basis for a series of papers dealing with the biochemical investigation of growth and differenti- ation processes in the bean root tip. The beginning and end of the elongation zone should be established here. Material and Methods Seeds of the broad bean Vicia faba L. cultivar Chlumeck~ were sterilized for 4 min with 70 % ethanol, washed for 8 h in running tap water and left to swell for 12 h in distilled water at 26 ~ C. The seeds were then placed onto wet paper wool laid on PVC plates with openings so that they lay above the opening.

  • Phase-Out of Chromium (III) in Leather Tanning
    Phase-out of chromium (III) in leather tanning This case study aims to illustrate an alternative process. It is based on publicly available information on company's experience as well as on substance hazards, alternatives to the hazardous substance and regulatory information. The case study is neither complete nor comprehensive in illustrating all substitution options of a substance but rather exemplary. 1. Case description The conversion of hides or skin into leather involves a tanning process. In g e n e ra l , d e p e n d i n g u p o n the end application of leather, two tanning methods are used: vegetable tanning or chrome tanning. 80 – 90 % of tanneries around the world today use salts of trivalent chromium for tanning. The main chromium compound used for leather tanning is chromium (III) hydroxide sulphate, Cr(OH)SO4 (CAS No. 12336-95-7; EC No. 235-595-8). Chromium is associated with several negative effects for the environment and human health. The main hazards related to chromium (III) is that it can be oxidised to chromium (VI), e.g. at very low pH values when oxygen is present. Cr (VI) is a suspected carcinogen and causes skin sensitisation. Since chromium (III) can transform into chromium (VI), its use in articles that may be in direct skin contact, should be avoided. 1.1. Hazards of chromium (VI) Chromium (VI) causes an allergic contact dermatitis and sensitisation at very low concentrations. The risk assessment made by Denmark (also proposing a restriction to market certain articles of leather coming into direct contact with the skin) demonstrates that chromium (VI) present in shoes and other leather articles poses risks for consumers.

  • Mangrove Arboretum
    Mangrove arboretum The arboretum in Bac Lieu is a collection of mangrove species from the south of Viet Nam. The arboretum is a show case of species richness and thus contribute to the preservation and research of mangrove forests. Furthermore, it serves eco-tourism and is considered as learning resource on mangroves in the Mekong area for students and practitioners. Worldwide, about 73 different species are accounted as ‘true mangroves’. In a total, there are 39 true mangroves described for Vietnam and at least 27 can be found in the South of Vietnam. There are not many stands of natural old mangroves remaining in the Mekong Delta, most of the forest is reforested. For reforestation efforts in the past only few species were selected and the more important it is for the future to diversify the planting schemes since every species is the result of a long evolutionary adaptation process and thus much more resilient if planted at the right place with certain environmental conditions. Mangroves store about 78,8 tons of carbon per hectare and provide high ecological services such as being nursery and foraging space for numerous coastal shrimp, crab and fish species important to local fisheries and aquaculture.

Horne Tanning of Leather By M. K. Thornton, Leather Specialist One of the oldest arts known to man, the tanning of leather, has become almost a lost art to farmers and ranchers. Yet it is a fairly easy process if care is taken. ' There are many methods of tanning, and no one of them rnay be called best. The methods described here are among the easiest and produce satisfactory results. No attempt is made to give details to suit every kind of weather. The ideal temperature is from 70 to 75 degrees F"ahrenheit. In no case should the hides be permitted to freeze. The warmer the weather the more quickly hides spoil, and as - a result there is greater likelihood of getting weak or tender leather. The hides to be tanned may be fresh, green salt, dry salt, or flint. A fresh hide is one which has been taken from the animal and allowed to cool. A green salt hide is one which has been well salted shortly after being removed from the animal, folded and placed in a cool place until the salt has penetrated well, and then stored until ready for use.

  • The Commercial Utilization of Tanbark Oak and Western White Oak in Oregon
    The Commercial Utilization of Tanbark Oak and Western White Oak in Oregon by Ralph Dempsey /d\ A Thesis 7 1958 Presented to the Faculty ( of the School of Forestry Ore'on State College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science March 1938 Approved: rofessor 0± forestry INTRODUCTION Tanbark oak, Lithocarpus densiflora (Hooker and Arnott) Rehder, and Oregon white oak (uercus arryana Hooker) are Oreon's most potentially valuable hardwoods. These trees are comparatively well known, but they have received little commercial attention. The people engac'ec9 in the manu- facture cf leather have used the bark of Tanbark oak he- cause it produces a considerable quantity of hirh rad.e tannin. The tree, which has previously been left to rot after the bark had been peeled, could in some way be uti- lized. The Oregon white oak has been used chiefly as fuel. Its uses in other fields has gradually deceased until it is now little used except for firewood. The wood of these species have received little consideration and their possi- bilities are unknown. This study was made for the purpose of reviewing the previous uses of these woods, and with the advent of new methods of kiln drying, to find a solution to a more efficient utilization. The main objections to the use of these woods have been their severe warping sn cheek- ing in seasoning. The results of j:revious studies, and experimental work bein carried on by the Forest Products Laboratory, indicates these woods can be successfully kiln dried. It is hoped that this will give these western oaks a place in the lumber markets of the nation, and there- by lead to a more efficient utilization of these woods.

  • The History and Practice of Bark Tanning in Newfoundland and Labrador
    Heritage NL Fieldnotes Series, 007, June 2020 The History and Practice of Bark Tanning in Newfoundland and Labrador [email protected] -- Heritage NL -- PO Box 5171, St. John’s, NL, Canada, A1C 5V5 By Katie Crane and Dale Gilbert Jarvis, Heritage NL Introduction In June 2017, Bell Island native, craft producer, and maker Clare Fowler appeared on Heritage NL’s Living Heritage Podcast to talk about her work, which focuses on the use of seal fur and seal leather. In the course of the conversation, she brought up the topic of seal skin leather boots, and the use of birch bark in tanning the leather. Regarding sealskin boots, she noted: They have such a historical and cultural significance on the Northern Peninsula. So many people have used them and they were just like a necessity of life. They're absolutely beautiful and stunning but not too many people are making them anymore and not too many people are doing the birch bark processing. I know a number of people who are experimenting with it but we were only able to track down one gentleman who was actually still doing it on somewhat of a small scale because the demand for it was lessening over time. The tradition of bark tanning and the use of bark mixtures for the preservation of textiles has a long history in Newfoundland and Labrador. This article traces the linguistic history of the verb form of the word bark, the use of bark as a preservative ​ ​ and colourant, describes the process involved in the creation of tanned materials in CRANE and JARVIS.

  • Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
    plants Article Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt Rania A. Hassan * and Rim S. Hamdy Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Cairo University, Giza 12613, Egypt; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species. Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent years. The review of Acacia and its segregates in Egypt became necessary in light of the available information cited in classical works during the last century. In Egypt, various taxa formerly placed in Acacia s.l., have been transferred to Acacia s.s., Acaciella, Senegalia, Parasenegalia and Vachellia. The present study is a contribution towards clarifying the nomenclatural status of all recorded species of Acacia and its segregate genera. This study recorded 144 taxa (125 species and 19 infraspecific taxa). Only 14 taxa (four species and 10 infraspecific taxa) are indigenous to Egypt (included now under Senegalia and Vachellia). The other 130 taxa had been introduced to Egypt during the last century. Out of the 130 taxa, 79 taxa have been recorded in literature. The focus of this study is the remaining 51 exotic taxa that have been traced as living species in Egyptian gardens or as herbarium specimens in Egyptian herbaria. The studied exotic taxa are accommodated under Acacia s.s. (24 taxa), Senegalia (14 taxa) and Vachellia (13 taxa).
