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.

Phase 2 Connecting 17 Remote First Nation Communities NOTICE of COMPLETION and OPPORTUNITY to INSPECT the FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL S
Phase 2 Connecting 17 Remote First Nation Communities NOTICE OF COMPLETION AND OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REPORT The Project: Wataynikaneyap Power L.P. is a licensed transmission company majority owned by First Nations. The First Nations ownership interest is equally owned by 22 First Nation communities, and a minority interest in the partnership is owned by Fortis Inc. The Wataynikaneyap Transmission Project Phase 2 (the Project) includes approximately 1,500 km of 115 kV, 44 kV and 25 kV transmission lines and associated facilities for subsystems north of Pickle Lake and Red Lake that will connect 17 remote First Nation communities, currently powered by diesel generation, to the provincial electrical grid. Figure 1 (see reverse) identifies the Project location and transmission and alternative corridors. The Project has been identified as one of the priority projects in Ontario’s Long‐Term Energy Plan, and Wataynikaneyap has been selected as the designated transmitter to connect communities. Wataynikaneyap’s principal purpose is to provide safe, accessible and clean electrical power to remote First Nation communities and to decrease the reliance on diesel‐powered energy generation which, consequently, will provide environmental, economic, social, quality‐of‐life and health benefits. Environmental Assessment (EA) Process: The Project is subject to the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and to Section 67 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 for the portions of the transmission line on First Nation reserve lands. The Final Environmental Study Report (ESR) has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the following Class EA processes: Class Environmental Assessment for Minor Transmission Facilities (Ontario Hydro, 1992) (for applicable 115 kV sections and associated infrastructure).

Keewaywin First Nation Aaniin
2017 - 2018 WELCOME TO Keewaywin First Nation Aaniin 1 Keewaywin Nation First Dear Teachers, We welcome both of you to our community Keewaywin First Nation. I realize with every new adventure or change there is an emotion that can make one wonder of the uncertain realities one could conceivably face. Not to worry! I can assure you I will do my best to make your stay as pleasant and enjoyable as I can. However, your experiences in Keewaywin will greatly depend on how you choose to get involved. It is your choice whether to stay in your teacherage or come out to participate in events and activities. If you choose to get involved you will get to understand the people, share their life experiences, which will make the adjustment to your new life much easier. During your time in Keewaywin I will expect each of you to reinforce a positive learning experience as well as establishing a community relationship. You will have a unique opportunity that most do not have and that is the chance to learn and share in our Oji-Cree culture and language. Over the next couple of years, I hope it will be a positive experience where you can share your experiences and understand the realities we face. Furthermore, our community and school have pretty much accepted technology as a form of communication and an educational tool for our youth. I hope both of you can offer our students the opportunity to positively apply technology in an environment which will produce excitement in being at school.

Deputy Grand Chief Les Louttit Nishnawbe Aski Nation
Deputy Grand Chief Les Louttit Nishnawbe Aski Nation For matters requiring the attention of DGC Louttit, or for more information on his schedule please contact Charlene Yerxa at (807) 625-4914 or [email protected]. Les Louttit was elected to his first term as NAN Deputy Grand Chief on August 12, 2009 and his second term on August 15, 2012. His second term election is justified by his extreme commitment to the people of Nishnawbe Aski Nation as well as the many initiatives and projects completed in his first term. Les has had a lengthy business career focused on economic development, housing development and improving living conditions in First Nation communities. Les is from Fort Albany First Nation, a Cree community located in the James Bay region of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation Territory. Born and raised on the land, he pursued his academic interests in southern Ontario, graduating from Queen’s School of Business at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and earning an Executive Masters of Business Administration. Les was one of the original employees of Grand Council Treaty 9, acting in a variety of leadership positions through the 1970s and 1980s including Director of Community Development, Director of Local Government, Housing Specialist and Executive Director. One of his biggest accomplishments came while serving as NAN’s negotiator on governance negotiations with Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (1997-98). His efforts resulted in the Framework Agreement on NAN Governance, a landmark agreement that has helped shape the future for NAN First Nations. He was also a negotiator on the “Six-Pack Negotiations” which resulted in the creation of six new NAN First Nations in Northwestern Ontario (Keewaywin First Nation, New Saugeen Fist Nation, Wawakapewin First Nation, Aroland First Nation, Slate Falls First Nation, and Wapakeka First Nation).

Annual Report 2018-2019
ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 WE REMEMBER TINA KAKEPETUM SCHULTZ (1953 - 2018) Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA) dedicates this Annual Report to the late Tina Kakepetum Schultz of Keewaywin First Nation. Tina began at Keewaytinook Okimakanak (K.O.). eHealth services and then moved on to serve as Health Director for Keewaytinook Okimakanak. Prior to working at K.O. She worked in theatre and her playwriting incorporated her love of her peoples’ strengths and struggles. It also included her love of opera music. This love began while she attended residential school and opera was played to soothe the children at bedtime. She brought this love into her work in the health field when she moved to Red Lake with her husband in 2001. Her passionate desire was to improve the comprehensive need for health services in the communities that she served underlined by a strong sense of community and self. Tina was a Keewaywin band member. She was born on a trapline and overcame many difficulties that she faced during her lifetime. She raised three boys and loved them dearly and was proud of them beyond words. Family was everything to Tina. This love extended to her many grandchildren and her three great grandchildren. Children of the remote north were the driving force in her desire to think outside of the “western box” way of thinking and create a substantial change that would have direct and real results in peoples’ daily lives. Tina also hoped that future changes would improve children and peoples’ quality of life. Tina saw this “quality of life” shift as a change that would include peoples’ joy which came from residing in the north, near the land, and the capabilities that recent developments allowed them such as video/medical technology.
