The Reclamation of Culture Movement and NAIITS: an Indigenous Learning Community ABSTRACT A Gifting of Sweetgrass: The Reclamation of Culture Movement and NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community Wendy L. Peterson In the mid-twentieth century the reclamation of Indigenous cultures, outlawed and otherwise suppressed through colonization, spread throughout New Zealand, United States, Canada, and elsewhere. Variously labelled as retraditionalization, revitalization, reclamation, and renaissance, it found expression in political demonstrations, public inquiries, litigation, art, music, and resistance literature. This dissertation traces the marginalization of First Peoples in their homelands triggered by the Great European Migration. Discouraged by the state of Indigenous churches and lack of discipleship, Indigenous Followers of Jesus [IFJ] joined in the reclamation of Indigenous self-identity through contextualizing the gospel and Christian culture as a means of healing social and spiritual realities. What began as local conversations grew to regional and global dialogues, resulting in a unique form of revitalization—the Reclamation of Culture Movement [ROCM]. The birth of the global ROCM is traced primarily to the Māori-led World Christian Gathering on Indigenous Peoples (1996). Employing Social Networking Theory, this work reveals the development of this movement through the global, regional, and local diffusion of the educational innovation first called the North American Institute for Theological Studies — now simply NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community. Providing a unique educational innovation for Aboriginal, Native American, Māori, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students who self-identify as followers of Jesus, NAIITS is the i foremost international expression of the ROCM. The movement exposes fractures and fissures in the Western church and its institutions while modeling a healthier way forward. ii A Gifting of Sweetgrass: The Reclamation of Culture Movement and NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary Wilmore, Kentucky In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Dissertation Committee: Dr. Michael Rynkiewich, Mentor Dr. Eunice Irwin, Reader Dr. Jonathan Bonk, Outside Reader Dr. Steven Ybarrola, Examiner By Wendy L.

    CHAMPIONS & GRAND AGGREGATE WINNERS Annual Bonspiel of the Manitoba Branch of the Royal CalCaleeeedoniandonian Curling Club 1889 ––– 1907 MCA ANNUAL BONSPIEL 1908 ––– 2013 MANITOBA OPEN BONSPIEL 2014 ––– present CurlManitoba – Bonspiel Champions & Aggregate Winners Since 1889 ( December 1, 2020 ) Page 1 Manitoba’s 150 th anniversary celebration provides motivation for review of history in many areas, including Manitoba proud curling heritage. This document accumulates together, for the first time, an acknowledgement of all of the Manitoba Curling Association’s annual bonspiel “champions”. The project was initiated by Les Ferris of Holland, inspired by local history which tells the story of Holland’s Hector McLean team returning home to a brass-band reception after winning the MCA’s annual bonspiel in 1900. Ferris’ first research was possible thanks to a set of early MCA annual publications, originally collected by Stan Oleson and Ab Gowanlock. The research effort of MCA ‘historians’ Rick Mutton and Heather Helston is acknowledged and appreciated as an additional foundation of this document. The support of Heidi Rees, Reference Services, Manitoba Legislative Library is also much appreciated. Reference has been made to archive copies of the annual bonspiel programmes (which evolved into the association’s annual publication). Archive copies of the Winnipeg Free Press, Manitoba Morning Free Press, and Winnipeg Tribune have provided key insights into the bonspiels of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. In addition, reference has also been made to the Morris Mott/John Allardyce book Curling Capital: Winnipeg and the Roarin’ Game, 1876 to 1988 and to the archives of thecurler.com. The documented was drafted by Resby Coutts on behalf of CurlManitoba and the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame & Museum.

  • Rita Nowak Homo Kallipygos 03.10.19
    Rita Nowak Homo Kallipygos 03.10.19 - 26.10.19 Mittwoch-Samstag, 12.00-18.00 Matthew Bown Gallery Pohlstrasse 48 10785 Berlin Rita Nowak's exhibition Homo Kallipygos is a series of photographs, of artists and not- artists, shot in Vienna, London and elsewhere. Fraternity, sorority; physical intimacy made compatible with the formality of spectacle; and the allure of the nude body are explored via the motif of the buttocks: the preferred, gender-neutral, erogenous zone of our age. The title of the show derives from the Aphrodite Kallipygos (aka Callipygian Venus), literally, Venus of the Beautiful Buttocks, a Roman copy in marble of an original Greek bronze [1]. Aphrodite's pose is an example of anasyrma: the act of lifting one's skirt to expose the nether parts for the pleasure of spectators [2]. Nowak's student diploma work, Ultravox (2004), referred to Henry Wallis's Death of Chatterton (1856), since when Nowak has regularly evoked the heritage of figurative painting. Centrefold cites an earlier pin-up, Boucher's Blonde Odalisque (1751-2), the image of a fourteen-year-old model, Marie-Louise O'Murphy [3]. Tobias Urban, a member of the Vienna-based artists' group Gelitin, sprawls not on a velvet divan in the boudoir but on that icon of contemporary consumerism, an abandoned faux-leather sofa, installed in a sea of mud. The title suggests that Urban, like O'Murphy, is intended as an object of our erotic fantasy; the pose is subtly altered from Boucher's original, the point- of-view is shifted a few degrees: we see a little less of the face, more of the buttocks and genitals [4].

It should be noted that these standings only have an historical aim but no sport signification because the comparison between the achievements of swimmers of different generations is always unfair for several reasons: 1. The period of time. The Olympic Games were not organised in 1916, 1940 and 1944 2. The evolution of the programme.

INTRODUCTION Globalization has had, and presumably will continue to have, many effects on labor and employment around much of the world.1 What it has not caused, however, is the end of labor law. The real question is how labor law can respond to the challenges presented by globalization. In order to promote an efficacious labor law, it is my thesis that a new global goal should be added to the labor law agenda – decent work with a living wage. The 1998 Declaration of the ILO setting forth fundamental labor principles should be expanded to include decent work with a living wage. The goal of decent work with a living wage can help keep labor law viable because it can be the organizing principle for a broad array of unions and workers worldwide as well as other interested groups to push for its implementa- tion as a matter of regional and national law.

  • Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗
    Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance.

  • THE MOVING FINGER Agatha Christie
    THE MOVING FINGER Agatha Christie Chapter 1 I have often recalled the morning when the first of the anonymous letters came. It arrived at breakfast and I turned it over in the idle way one does when time goes slowly and every event must be spun out to its full extent. It was, I saw, a local letter with a typewritten address. I opened it before the two with London postmarks, since one of them was clearly a bill, and on the other I recognised the handwriting of one of my more tiresome cousins. It seems odd, now, to remember that Joanna and I were more amused by the letter than anything else. We hadn't, then, the faintest inkling of what was to come - the trail of blood and violence and suspicion and fear. One simply didn't associate that sort of thing with Lymstock. I see that I have begun badly. I haven't explained Lymstock. When I took a bad crash flying, I was afraid for a long time, in spite of soothing words from doctors and nurses, that I was going to be condemned to lie on my back all my life. Then at last they took me out of the plaster and I learned cautiously to use my limbs, and finally Marcus Kent, my doctor, clapped me on my back and told me that everything was going to be all right, but that I'd got to go and live in the country and lead the life of a vegetable for at least six months.

    Into the Third Millennium: Neocorporatism, the State and the Urban Planning Profession Nancy G. Marshall A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA © Nancy G. Marshall 2000 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Project Report Sheet Surname or Family name: Marshall First name: Nancy Other name/s: Gaye Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Planning Faculty: Built Environment Title: Into the Third Millennium: Neocorporatism, the State and the Urban Planning Profession Abstract 350 words maximum (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis maintains that, far from being politically impartial bodies, as professional associations might suggest, professions as a whole are resolutely influenced in their activities by the political will of the times. At the beginning of the third millennium, this ‘will’ is described as neocorporatism, an ideology based on corporate structure and third sector co-governance. The research highlights the interrelationships between professions and ideology. A case study of the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) demonstrates how this neocorporatist philosophy is having an impact on its power and legitimacy and, ultimately, its effect within Canadian society. An historical review demonstrates how the Canadian Institute of Planners has reacted to and reflected state ideology throughout its history. It is clear that the organisation has been in a submissive relationship with the state until recently, where we see the balance of power starting to shift. The CIP is currently reorganising itself to better integrate with the state and improve its government relations.
