Avoiding standard dictionary approaches to translations, it provides inside views and perspectives to provide broader translations of key terms related to Cree values and principles, Cree philosophy, Cree cosmology, Cree spirituality, and Cree ceremonialism. It argues the importance of providing connotative, denotative, implied meanings and etymology of key terms to broaden the understanding of nîhiyaw tâpisinowin and the need

  • Latest Twinned Section on Highway 43 Improves Safety for Motorists Divided Roadway Between Green Court and Sangudo Opens to Traffic
    Managing growth pressures September 20, 2007 Latest twinned section on Highway 43 improves safety for motorists Divided roadway between Green Court and Sangudo opens to traffic Mayerthorpe... Motorists travelling between Green Court and Sangudo will enjoy 18.5 kilometres of newly divided highway, as the province officially opens the latest twinned section on Highway 43 at a cost of $22.3 million. “Twinning Highway 43 between Edmonton and Grande Prairie is nearly complete, providing a safer and more efficient highway for one of Alberta’s major economic corridors,” said Luke Ouellette, Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation. “By twinning this important stretch of the North-South Trade Corridor, Alberta is investing in the economic future of the province.” Highway 43 forms the northwest leg of Alberta’s North-South Trade Corridor and runs 432 kilometres from its junction with Highway 16 west of Edmonton to Grande Prairie. The Alberta government has invested $1.3 billion to develop the North-South Trade Corridor since 1998, including $566 million since 1998 to twin Highway 43. “As a long-time supporter of the twinning of Highway 43, I’m pleased this very busy section of highway will be safer for motorists and will help support economic development throughout the region,” said George VanderBurg, MLA for Whitecourt-Ste. Anne. Two additional Highway 43 projects are currently underway. Final paving of 34 kilometres of previously twinned Highway 43 between Sangudo and Glenevis is expected to be finished by the end of September at a cost of $9.5 million. An additional 35 kilometres of Highway 43 twinning will also open to traffic later this fall, weather permitting, between Asplund Creek and Iosegun Lake at a cost of $46 million.

  • (De Beers, Or the Proponent) Has Identified a Diamond
    VICTOR DIAMOND PROJECT Comprehensive Study Report 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview and Background De Beers Canada Inc. (De Beers, or the Proponent) has identified a diamond resource, approximately 90 km west of the First Nation community of Attawapiskat, within the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, (Figure 1-1). The resource consists of two kimberlite (diamond bearing ore) pipes, referred to as Victor Main and Victor Southwest. The proposed development is called the Victor Diamond Project. Appendix A is a corporate profile of De Beers, provided by the Proponent. Advanced exploration activities were carried out at the Victor site during 2000 and 2001, during which time approximately 10,000 tonnes of kimberlite were recovered from surface trenching and large diameter drilling, for on-site testing. An 80-person camp was established, along with a sample processing plant, and a winter airstrip to support the program. Desktop (2001), Prefeasibility (2002) and Feasibility (2003) engineering studies have been carried out, indicating to De Beers that the Victor Diamond Project (VDP) is technically feasible and economically viable. The resource is valued at 28.5 Mt, containing an estimated 6.5 million carats of diamonds. De Beers’ current mineral claims in the vicinity of the Victor site are shown on Figure 1-2. The Proponent’s project plan provides for the development of an open pit mine with on-site ore processing. Mining and processing will be carried out at an approximate ore throughput of 2.5 million tonnes/year (2.5 Mt/a), or about 7,000 tonnes/day. Associated project infrastructure linking the Victor site to Attawapiskat include the existing south winter road and a proposed 115 kV transmission line, and possibly a small barge landing area to be constructed in Attawapiskat for use during the project construction phase.

  • 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.

    IMPROVING COMMUNITY HOUSING, AN IMPORTANT DETERMINANT OF HEALTH THROUGH MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL TRAINING PROGRAMS Leonard J.S.

University of Waterloo Fort Albany, Ontario Waterloo, Ontario Canada, POL 1HO Canada, N2L 3G1 Anthony Iannucci Fort Albany First Nation and RTllnc. Fort Albany, Ontario Canada, POL 1HO Abstract I Resume Until recently, "status quo" houses (Le., dwellings with no running water, washrooms, proper kitchens, or adequate electrical services) were typically built in First Nations (FN). We describe a training program that upgraded existing status quo homes in Fort Albany First Nation to a level comparable to the rest of Canada, on a limited budget. The program provided not only an educational experience for the stUdents, but also paid employment for Fort Albany First Nation members, as well as long-term community benefits. Jusqu'a, a present, les maisons "statu quo", (c.a.d.les habitations sans eau courante, sans toilettes, sans cuisines appropriees et sans electricite adequate), ont ete typiquement construites dans Ie Premiere Nations. Nous decrivons un programme de formation qui, avec un budget limite, a permis d'ameliorer les maisons "statu quo" dans les Premieres Nations, Fort Albany, a un niveau comparable au reste du Canada. Ce programme a non seulement fourni une experience educative aux etudiants, mais a egale­ ment cree des emplois remuneres aux membres des Premieres Nations, Fort Albany et a demontre des avantages a long terme pourla communaute.

Public health emergencies, such as an influenza pandemic, can potentially impact disadvantaged populations disproportionately due to underlying social factors. Canada‟s First Nation population was severely impacted by the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic. Most First Nation communities suffer from poor living conditions, impoverished lifestyles, lack of access to adequate health care, and uncoordinated health care delivery. Also, there are vulnerable populations who suffer from co-morbidities who are at a greater risk of falling ill. Moreover, First Nation communities that are geographically remote (nearest service center with year-round road access is located over 350 kilometers away) and isolated (only accessible by planes year-round) face additional challenges. For example, transportation of supplies and resources may be limited, especially during extreme weather conditions. Therefore, remote and isolated First Nation communities face unique challenges which must be addressed by policy planners in order to mitigate the injustice that may occur during a public health emergency.
