“Onikaniwak– for Those Who Lead” “Onikaniwak – for those who lead” For the third year, during the period of July 8 – 14, 2016, UCN acted as the lead host in delivering this very successful summer institute that focuses exclusively on First Nations and Metis history, worldviews, challenges/realities, pedagogies and culture to develop the leadership capacity for school and post‐secondary leaders. The University of Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba are co‐partners in the development and delivery of this camp style, land‐based university course. The fifty participants who attended Onikaniwak could take this course for professional development or for Masters level credit at Brandon University, the University of Manitoba, or the University of Saskatchewan. There was one student who took this course as part of her Doctoral program at the University of Saskatchewan. Onikaniwak is designed to create conditions for dialogue and creates a space for conversations that will lead to reconciliation and will integrate academic presentations alongside of cultural teachings and activities as a means to “teach” the content. As such, we have a range of cultural advisors, Elders and scholars who presented in various manners: Derek & Clifford Stick, Elvis Broken Nose from Island Lake, SK & Kevin Lewis from Onion Lake, SK who opened the day with pipe ceremonies, conducted medicine walks, sweats and shaker/drum making activities; Elder Theresa Bighetty from Pukatawagan, MB who taught us of medicines and gave us teachings from the beaver as well as providing essential teachings as part of our regular day program; Elder Albert Tait from Norway House, MB who guided us at the Sundance and provided sage reflections to much of the content that was presented; Joe Partridge and Beatle Omeasoo from Cree Nation Tribal Health in Opaskwayak Cree Nation, MB who organized the team to set up the large tipi, our classroom for the week, then involved participants in setting up the smaller tipi as part of the tipi teachings and cultural understandings; Shirley Nepinak from Camperville, MB who demonstrated beading and involved students in a variety of beadwork activities; Janet Head from Cree Nation Tribal Health in Opaskwayak Cree Nation, MB who gave a heartfelt presentation on the topic of intergenerational residential school effects; Theodore Fontaine from Sagkeeng First Nation, MB who spoke of his experiences as a residential school survivor/author and presented his book entitled “The Broken Circle”; Dr. Marie Wilson Co‐Commissioner for the Truth and Reconciliation Commission from Yellowknife, NWT who spoke of the residential school legacy and work in the TRC; Doris Young from Opaskwayak Cree Nation, MB who spoke of her experiences and impacts as a residential school student; Dr. Alexandra Wilson from the University of Saskatchewan and Dr. Stan Wilson from Opaskwayak Cree Nation, MB who spoke of the Indigenist paradigm for education; Allen Sutherland and Connie Wyatt‐Anderson from the Treaty Relations commission of Manitoba who respectively spoke of treaties and the teacher education initiative and resources; Lorena Fontaine, lawyer and Assistant Professor, from the University of Winnipeg who spoke of the Aboriginal constitutional rights to language; Douglas Sanderson lawyer and Assistant Professor from the University of Toronto, ON who spoke of the wampum notions of treaties; Leo Nijssen, lawyer and Assistant Professor, from University College of the North who spoke of the constitutional rights to treaties and for Aboriginal peoples; Helen Robinson‐Settee, Chuck Bourgeois and Dr. Myra Laramee of the Aboriginal Education Directorate who facilitated the blanket exercise, a simulation activity for de‐colonization; Wilfred Buck from the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre who brought his planetarium and taught the relationship between Creation stories and the constellations; Ron Constant principal for the Oscar Lathlin collegiate, Opaskwayak Education Authority who came to speak of land‐based education practices and curricula that has been developed and implemented at his school; Dr. Laara Fitznor from the University of Manitoba who spoke on challenges and historical realities of Aboriginal education and taught students how to re‐imagine using the dream catcher metaphor; Julyda Lagimodiere from the Manitoba Metis Federation in Thompson, MB who spoke of the Metis identity and history regarding education; Esther Sanderson from the Aboriginal Languages and Culture Division of University College of the North who delivered a language component to the program; Sadie Lavoie Red Rising editor and University of Winnipeg Student Activist who spoke from the youth perspective in terms of the “urgency for change”. Onikaniwak is primarily organized by Doris Young from UCN, Dr. Dawn Wallin from the University of Saskatchewan and Dr. Sherry Peden, from the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology. Drs. Wallin and Peden are the co‐facilitators, profs of record for those students who take the course for university credit. The University of Saskatchewan contributed money to help fund family and cultural activities for the participants and their families. As such, a wide range of recreational and cultural activities were delivered by Darryl Shotton and Lasha Stordeur from Career Trek and Leo Nijssen from UCN. We had 17 children that ranged in age from 4 years to 16 years who attended Onikaniwak. The fifty participants for the 2016 Onikaniwak represented five provinces and four universities: the Northern Lights School Division, SK; Louis Riel School Division, Brandon School Division, Pembina Trails School Division, University College of the North, Lakeshore School Division, Flin Flon School Division, Saskatoon Public Schools, Selkirk College, BC; Goa Haven, Nunavut; Mohawk College, Brantford, ON; Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology; Frontier School Division, Winnipeg One School Division. In spite of the rain, and it rained for several days while Onikaniwak was happening; participants and their families enjoyed the week of learning and living in the camp based setting. We heard many positive comments such as: “can’t wait to come again” “now able to engage in critical dialogue about Aboriginal issues and reconciliation” “powerful learnings from a spiritual, academic and lived manner” “have an increased desire to champion Aboriginal education back in the school” “never knew these things before, hadn’t been taught but now feel a commitment to do something to further Aboriginal education” “rejuvenated and energized to do things differently to improve Aboriginal education outcomes” Events like Onikaniwak can only happen because of intense collaboration, hard work by the host and planning team and a desire to try different ways of learning in authentic ways. Special thanks are extended to all of the presenters previously listed who so willingly gave of their time to travel to Egg Lake and the local host and planning team members such as: Lorna Fitzner, administrative assistant; Geraldine Mercredi and Christie Munroe, the “cooks”; CBS Vice‐ President Donna Carriere, who acts as the camp photographer and general “go’fer”; and UCN Chancellor Edwin Jebb who welcomes all to the traditional Opaskwayak Cree Nation territory and helped us to make a wide range of collaborations and partnerships become a reality. “to find the way” Camp participants on last day Finding time for a bit of the northern beauty UCN Chancellor Edwin Jebb, MLA Amanda Lathlin and OCN councilor Shorty Lathlin welcome participants Elder Theresa Bighetty from Pukatawagan talks about sweet grass on a medicine walk. Students presenting their group assignment late into the night by the campfire. Not your “regular way” to demonstrate learning, huh! Shaker and drum making Annette and Janet Head, intergenerational survivors, Marie Wilson from TRC, Doris Young after the residential school workshops. “In spite of hardship, we still can laugh” For further information, please contact: Jim Scott, UCN Communications Officer at 204‐627‐8244 .
