These schools were run by religious orders in collaboration with the federal government and were attended by children as young as four or fi ve years of age. Separated from their families and prohibited from speaking their native languages and practicing their culture, the vast majority of the over 150,000 children that attended these schools experienced neglect and suffering. The impacts of sexual, mental, and physical abuse, shame, and deprivation endured at Indian Residential Schools continue to affect generations of Survivors, their families, and communities today. Remarkably, in the face of this tremendous adversity, many Survivors and their descendants have retained their language and their culture and continue to work toward healing and reconciliation. This collection of programs will help you and your students understand the history of the residential school system - how it came to be, the role of the Canadian government and church, and who was involved - as well as gving viewers some insight into the short and long-term impact on individuals, communities, culture, language and customs.

  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.

In 2003, this country faced mass immigration by refugees fleeing the Janjaweed, a religious militia in its Eastern neighbor’s region of Darfur. Its Southeast is home to the Logone River, which feeds the Chari River, which in turn feeds into a rapidly shrinking namesake body of water. For the point, name this country that lies west of Sudan, south of Libya, and north of the Central African Republic. ANSWER: Republic of Chad (RN) 2. The mayor of this city, Frank Jensen, banned city employees from flying with the airline Ryanair. The 2014 Eurovision Song Contest was hosted by this city in the B&W Hallerne, near the island of Amager. This city is famous for its Tivoli Gardens and is suggested to be the home of the mythical Little Mermaid. This city is mostly situated on the island of Zealand and is connected to Malmo via the Øresund Bridge. For the point, name this largest city and capital of Denmark. ANSWER: Copenhagen (WD) 3. This mountain’s name was switched with nearby Mount Townsend, so that a mountain with this name would remain taller. The native name of this mountain means “Table Top Mountain”, and indigenous peoples would live at its summit during the summer, surviving on Bogong moths. This member of the Great Dividing Range was named by Paul Strzelecki after a mound in Krakow. A Polish general is the namesake of – for the point – what tallest mountain in Australia? ANSWER: Mount Kosciuszko (DS) 4.

  • North America I998
    PAUL HORTON / AMERICAN ALPINE JOURNAL North America i 998 Our thanks to Rock & Ice and Climbing magazines, who have been an important source of informationfor many ofthe climbs mentioned in this report. 998 saw a continuation of trends from previous seasons across North 1America. Very difficult free climbing was accomplished throughout the land, including notable achievements on the big walls of Yosemite. The evolution of mixed climbing standards continued in centres such as Vail in Colorado, Hyalite Canyon in Montana, and the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Light and fast was the word on big northern mountains and exploration of the very big walls of Baffin Island continued. New routes of a high standard were discovered in the familiar terrain of the Tetons andthe peaks ofRocky Mountain National Park, while forays in Mexico tantalised climbers with glimpses of new areas of vast potential. The most significant continuing trend in North American climbing, how­ ever, was that of increasing access problems to the climbing areas themselves. New rules at Hueco Tanks in Texas effectively eliminated all but a fraction of the climbing there. On a national level, the US Forest Service banned fixed protection from the Wilderness Areas they administer, affecting climbing in numerous beloved places. This decision impacted more than bolted sport routes: all gear left in place for any reason was outlawed, including traditional pitons, nuts, slings, and bolts. Because of concerted political action by the public, the outdoor industry, the Access Fund, and the American Alpine Club, implement­ ation of this ban was rescinded until a 'negotiated rule-making process' occurs, but the threat continues to loom large.
