re: ASPF Project Title: Aboriginal Languages and Literacy Institute: ALLI 2006
Project Team: Patricia A. Shaw, Director, FNLG Program, Arts, UBC
Margery Fee, Director, Intercultural and Community Programs, Arts, UBC
Linc Kesler, Director, FNSP Program, Arts, UBC
Jan Hare, Assistant Professor, LLED, Education, UBC
As ALLI Program Director and on behalf of the ALLI project co-
applicants, I am pleased to provide the following report on the
Aboriginal Special Projects Funding (ASPF) in support of the
Aboriginal Languages and Literacy Institute offered through UBC.
1. Administrative Structures
1.1. ALLI Steering Committee:
As a collaborative initiative between the Faculty of Arts and
the Faculty of Education at UBC, the membership of the ALLI
Steering Committee drew on representation from 5 different
programs directly involved in Aboriginal education within the 2
Faculties:
Patricia A. Shaw, Director, First Nations Languages Program, Faculty of Arts
2 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
Linc Kesler, Director, First Nations Studies Program, Faculty of Arts
Margery Fee, Director of Intercultural and Community Programs, Faculty of Arts
Jo-ann Archibald. Associate Dean of Indigenous Education, Faculty of Education
Jan Hare, Assistant Professor, Language and Literacy Education, Faculty of Education
This Steering Committee met several times during the
fall/winter/spring preceding the summer institute to coordinate
various aspects of planning.
1.2. ALLI Advisory Board Members:
One of the foundational goals of this initiative was to build an
Advisory Board that was broadly representative of First Nations
Elders, experienced community-based language educators, and
community-based learners to help guide the development and
implementation of our program. Particularly important was
representation from the Musqueam Indian Band, on whose ancestral territory UBC is
situated; from the urban Aboriginal population of Greater Vancouver (the Urban Gitksan and
Urban NLe kepmxcin Associations); from Native education organizations in both the urban core
(NEC) and elsewhere in the province (NVIT; FNSA; En owkin); and from community and Band
schools in rural BC (Adams Lake/Chase; Namgis, Alert Bay). The individuals who
collaborated with us throughout the project in this capacity
are:
Larry Grant, Elder, Musqueam Indian Band, and Adjunct Professor, UBC FNLG
Doreen Jensen, Urban Gitksan Association
Mandy Jimmie, Nicola Tribal Association; Nicola Valley Institute of Technology;
Joe Michel, Adams Lake Band; Chase Immersion Program
Tim Michel, Science/Land & Food Systems, UBC
Kathleen Reynolds, Aboriginal Early Childhood Development, Native Education Center,
Vancouver; Urban N e kepmxcin Association
Several other key individuals from across the province were, for various reasons, not able to
attend the Advisory Board meetings in person. However, we gratefully acknowledge each of the
following leaders in First Nations language and literacy initiatives for their input and strong
support throughout the ALLI planning and implementation processes, and for their role in
disseminating information about ALLI events to their local constituencies.
Lorna Williams, CRC Scholar in Aboriginal Education and Linguistics, U of Victoria
Ellen White, Elder-in-Residence, Malaspina College
Bill Cranmer, Chief Namgis First Nation; Chair, FPHLCC
Jeanette Armstrong, En'owkin Centre and UBC Okanagan
Greg Louie, Maaqtusiis School, Pt. Alberni; President, First Nations Schools Association
Pewi Alfred, U mista Cultural Center
In addition to regular e-mail contact with our Board members, 2 full-day Advisory Board
meetings were held (20 Feb 2006; 13 May 2006), where members of the ALLI Advisory Board
came to UBC to meet together with the members of the ALLI Steering Committee to collaborate
on the visioning, development, and implementation of the several complementary events
associated with the ALLI Institute. These meetings served an integrally important function in
3 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
continually re-injecting perspectives from the past, guidance for the present, inspiration for the
future. Discussions were productive, passionate, infused throughout with warm humour, and
contributed significantly to our plans for course content, for special events, for enhancing Elders
roles, for facilitating interaction among students enrolled in different courses, etc.
1.3. ALLI Staff:
1.3.1. ALLI Program Coordinator: Mary Jane Joe, N e kepmxcin/Musqueam The
principal responsibilities of this position were to provide administrative and organizational
support, including: editing, up-dating, and distribution of promotional materials; liaison with
ALLI web-master; community outreach and student recruitment; administrative liaison with
ALLI Advisory Board members; event planning, organization of meetings, catering
arrangements, etc.; minutes of ALLI Steering Committee and ALLI Advisory Board meetings;
planning for out-of-town student accommodation, daycare needs,
special needs, etc.; liaison with UBC Admissions and UBC
Registrar's Office to facilitate student admission and
registration; etc.
Please note: whereas our original proposal was to appoint a
graduate student Research Assistant (GRA), the position was reclassified by
UBC Human Resources to a Program Coordinator. We were very
fortunate indeed to acquire the expertise of Mary Jane Joe in
this appointment: she served for several years as a Coordinator
for the UBC NITEP program, and brought extensive experience in
native education, as well as a very broad-based network of
contacts to this position.
1.3.2. ALLI Post-Doc Research Fellow: Michelle LaFlamme, Post-
Doc, English Lit
Responsibilities (10hrs/wk June 1-July 4) were to act as the Project Coordinator, reporting to
Patricia Shaw (Director, ALLI) and David Diamond (Director, Headlines Theatre), for the ALLI
& Headlines Theatre production of Reclaiming our Aboriginal Languages on the opening night
of the ALLI Institute. Tasks included coordinating the logistics for the rehearsal space and the
performance space, fielding the call for performers, coordinating auditions, screening
applications for a Psychological Counsellor to be in attendance throughout the rehearsal and
performance process, ensuring the effective functioning of the rehearsal process, and functioning
as stage manager for the final performance.
1.3.3. ALLI Graduate TA (GTA): Shelley Janvier, M.Ed in Ed Admin
Responsibilities were to assist the instructor of LLED 480A, Dr. Hare, with a variety of course
related activities, including preparing and assisting with classroom activities, carrying out some
library work, and assisting with marking of assignments.
1.3.4. ALLI Undergraduate TA (UTA): Karrmen Crey, UBC FNSP
student
Responsibilities were to assist the instructors of FNSP 401A, Dr. Kesler, and FNLG
448H, Dr. Shaw, with a variety of course related activities, particularly those involving
computer-assisted learning and videography.
4 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
1.3.5. ALLI Assistant and Mentor (UAA): Kaleigh Hiebert, UBC
NITEP student
The ALLI Assistant and Mentor was responsible for ensuring the
ALLI Elders, invited guests, and visitors were well taken care
of; for mentoring ALLI students to maximally benefit from the
institutional and human resources at UBC; for helping with the
organization and implementation of special events being held in
conjunction with the ALLI Summer Institute, including the
Reclaiming our Aboriginal Languages theatre production,
Endangered Languages Film Fest, the Storytelling Symposium, and
the Language Revitalization Symposium; and for assisting with
the ALLI program evaluation process.
1.3.6. ALLI Web-Master 1: Don Johnson, UBC First Nations Arts
Advising
Responsibilities were to help with all web-based information systems for the ALLI program, and
to set up, edit, and manage the ALLI web site through July 2006.
1.3.7. ALLI Web-Master 2: Bri Beveridge, UBC FNLG Program
As D. Johnson took another full-time position in August 2006, B. Beveridge assumed
responsibility in May 2007 for up-dating and integrating the profile of the ALLI web site, for
posting reports, student activities and projects, photos, video documentation of special events,
etc. The site is under active revision to incorporate a variety of projects, video files, student
input, etc., that we have been working on since the end of the actual classes at ALLI.
Please visit our site at: http://alli.arts.ubc.ca
2. Communications
2.1. ALLI Brochure: see attachment
The ALLI Summer 2006 brochure included a broad statement of
goals and relevance, course descriptions for the 5 ALLI courses,
details on how to find information on Application for Admission
to UBC, Registration, etc. This was widely distributed both in
print form, and by e-mail to First Nations educational
listserves throughout the province.
2.2. Website: http://alli.arts.ubc.ca
The ALLI Summer 2006 website contained more extensive
information, with a variety of live links to the UBC Calendar
for information on the Access admissions category, etc.
Throughout the summer ALLI program, the web site was continually
up-dated with postings of special ALLI events and of related
events of interest.
After the intensive summer events of ALLI, faculty and staff
dispersed to take on or resume their other responsibilities.
There remained, however, a variety of materials video
documentation of special events, student projects, evaluation
and commentary, photos, etc. which needed editing, formatting,
5 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
and posting. An experienced web-master was appointed in May 2007
to finalize these web-related projects.
2.3. Ad Postings for Faculty and student RA/UAA positions: see
attachments
Ads to soll.
2.4. Posters for Special Events: see attachments
As all our events were open to the general public, posters were
distributed and posted all over campus, as well as in several
off-campus Aboriginal venues.
2.5. e-mail:
As well, copies of all ALLI job ads, posters, and announcements
were distributed through extensive academic, Aboriginal,
educational, and cultural e-networks on- and off-campus,
throughout BC and to other major Aboriginal educational
institutions across Canada and in the States.
3. Academic Curriculum
3.1. UBC Course Offerings
The core academic curriculum of ALLI consisted of 4 courses (3 credits each), held on the
main campus of UBC during the 3 week period from July 4 through
July 21, 2006. Each of the FNLG, FNSP, and LLED courses met
daily Mon-Fri for 2.5 hours. The LING course met daily Mon-Thurs
for 3 hours, leaving Friday evenings free for other special ALLI
events. The time-tabling for these courses was staggered
throughout the day, so that students who wanted to take more
than one course had full freedom of choice across the ALLI
curriculum. The course descriptions, as they appeared on the UBC registration website,

Facilitating Language and Literacy for Aboriginal Children in
Early Childhood
This course will explore culturally-appropriate ways to support the
language and literacy development of young Aboriginal children and
their families.
Instructor: Dr. Jan Hare
MTWRF 1:30 - 4:00 pm
3.1.1. These offerings entailed 2 changes from our original
proposal.
First, a second LLED course (480E) was originally scheduled:
LLED 480E.953: 3 Credits
Aboriginal Language Education: Curriculum and Instruction
This course will explore curriculum and program development,
teaching strategies, resource and material development aimed at
enhancing Aboriginal languages (first or second) in schools and
communities.
Instructor: Mandy Jimmie, B.Ed. (NITEP), M.A. (Linguistics, UBC)
MTWRF 8:00 - 10:30 am
The Faculty of Education decided in mid-May, 6 weeks prior to
the ALLI session, to cancel this course offering due to cost-
recovery concerns about low enrolment in both the LLED courses.
Unfortunately, over the subsequent weeks prior to the beginning
of the ALLI Summer Session, we received several expressions of
dismay from students who had in fact intended to take the LLED
480E course, but who had been waiting for formal authorization
from their Bands before they could officially register for it. A
recommendation for the future, therefore, would be to encourage
7 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
both prospective students and Band Education departments to
advise us of their intentions to participate, and of any Band-
internal administrative timelines that may impact on formal UBC
registration.
Secondly, in addition to the original 4 course offerings, the
ALLI Director (Patricia A. Shaw) negotiated with the Linguistics
Department at UBC to re-focus the regular Summer Session
offering of the introductory level Linguistics 100 course, such
that it would have strong First Nations Languages content and be
scheduled concurrent with the ALLI Institute courses. Further,
independent funding was secured by the ALLI Director (Patricia
A. Shaw) through the UBC Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund
(TLEF) to hire a post-doctoral linguist/educator for May-June to
develop curriculum for this special Ling 100 section,
constructing data sets and exercises that exemplify core
linguistic principles with First Nations languages content, and
to develop multimedia material to enhance the oral foundations
of this material. The following LING 100 course therefore
constituted a valuable concurrent learning opportunity for ALLI
students, and was included in the ALLI brochure and web-
postings.
LING 100.951: 3 Credits
Introduction to Language and Linguistics
An investigation of sound systems, word-building, grammatical
principles, language change, dialect variation, language
acquisition. Special focus on Aboriginal languages of B.C. and
Canada.
Instructor: Dr. Suzanne Gessner
MTWR 7:00 - 10:00 pm
3.2. Elders in Residence and Guest Speakers
Larry Grant, Musqueam
Doreen Jensen, Gitksan
Rose Robinson, Haisla
Special thanks to Diana Steinhauser, a Cree instructor
affiliated with Blue Quills as well as with the University of
Alberta, who shared her extensive experience and expertise with
the students in the FNLG 448 course (Endangered Language
Documentation and Revitalization) in the context of a very
moving and inspiring guest lecture on the successes and
challenges of Cree language education programs, both for adults
and for children, in northern Alberta.

6. Evaluation
In order to assess the impact of the different components of
the ALLI program on the student participants and to seek input
on what objectives we could plan for in future ALLI initiatives,
9 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
we developed a 4-page qualitative evaluation form that provided
students with the opportunity to comment on:
I.A-G: The degree to which the academic courses contributed
to their goals.
II.A-E: The value of the ALLI Special Events in contributing
to their overall ALLI learning experience.
III.A-C: An over-all assessment, recommendations for
improvement, and suggestions for additional/alternative
topics and approaches that would contribute to future
initiatives to advance Aboriginal language and literacy
IV. Reflections on the contributions of the Elders to the
ALLIprogram.
Both the Evaluation Form (Eval_Form.doc) and a collocation of
the students responses to each of the Evaluation questions
(Evals_Sum.doc) are attached.
Some extracts from the students commentary follow:
About the impact of the courses:
Excellent, thought-provoking insights. Left me hungry for more!
We were visited by leading authors in the field.
We were included amongst Elders of the community.
We were given every necessary resource to pursue further work with
documentation.
Has changed my career objectives altogether.
About the Forum Theatre event Reclaiming our Aboriginal Languages :
It was an amazing event that educated everybody involved on real day to
day issues faced by Aboriginals in this culture.
It was a very moving experience that contributed on my overall
understanding of the issues presented in the class.
This exposed raw emotion on why we do not (some communities) use our
languages on a daily basis.
About the Panel on Indigenous Orality and Story-telling:
A very interesting variety of approaches which illuminated the range of
ways in which language revitalization can be used and accomplished.
The story-telling workshop gave me great skills.
About the Endangered Languages Revitalization Symposium:
Very informative and inspiring. I felt lucky to be able to hear from
such respected people.
A wonderful array of speakers who all presented very
illuminating experiences from their communities, encouraging
all of us to persevere in this area.
About the Social events:
All of these events helped me feel part of a community, something I ve
lacked throughout my last years at U.B.C.
10 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
Each of these events helped to enlarge the access to some of the people
involved with revitalization and could possibly be of assistance with
resources for teaching.
What did you value most about your ALLI experience?
The feeling of being part of something useful, and part of a real
community working for change.
One of the best, if not the best, university course I ve taken in 9
years of studies!
I have valued the opportunity to explore the vast research
possibilities on campus.
Recommendations:
More ALLI courses all year round.
longer duration for courses in Summer Session.
More courses! More courses! Especially (but not only) more language
courses.
U.B.C. needs to offer more language courses in Aboriginal languages.
... when there are over 30 languages native to B.C. alone ... Under-
representation of these languages is unacceptable.
More involvement by representatives from more nations in B.C.
More courses! Also, special events like the ones during the course, but
adding on-site experiences such as field trips, visits to reserves,
cultural centres, etc.
Suggestions of future topics to advance Aboriginal language and
literacy:
Workshops regarding treaties through languages ?
relationship between self-government and language + literacy
Impact on Aboriginal Education at UBC:
deepened insight into the on-going legacy of the Residential
Schools impact on Aboriginal language and culture
heightened awareness of the critically endangered status of
Canada s Aboriginal languages
Faculty of Arts expansion of course offerings in First

Website
A student has been working on the site part-time since May
2007. The original site (mounted quickly for the dissemination
of basic information and registration details) has been re-
designed, and a considerable amount of content has been mounted.
Video-footage of the 3 special events, a number of student
research projects, ALLI program evaluations, links to UBC
resources, as well as to other relevant Aboriginal
language/literacy sites, and photos are in the process of being
edited, formatted, and mounted.
Video-editing
Each of our 3 Special Events was video-taped. Because
students and others in attendance were so positive in their
response to the enduring value of these events, we made a
commitment to editing the video-footage and making it accessible
on the ALLI website. The ALLI student who participated in the
original taping of 2 of these events resumed part-time editing
of these tapes in May 2007. The current status of each is
summarized below:
ALLI & Headlines Theatre production Reclaiming our Aboriginal Languages
- 2.5 hrs raw footage; editing complete; needs framing; then ready to mount onto website
ALLI Endangered Languages Revitalization Symposium
- approx 6 hrs raw footage; extensive editing needed (poor acoustics); video- and sound-
editing in process
ALLI panel on Indigenous Orality and Storytelling for Education
- approx 2 hrs raw footage: promised, but not yet received from individual who filmed it
Based on consultation with students, faculty, and Arts Audio-visual advisors, the functionality of
each of these resources would be significantly enhanced if each were accompanied by a written
transcript. Using an Interactive Video Tool (IVT), specific points in the transcript would be
linked to the corresponding points in the video, so that students could freely move backwards
and forwards with the video/transcription synchronized. Further, keywords would be identified,
so that particular themes could be tracked throughout the video documentation.
Endangered Languages Film Fest
2 other institutions representing Vancouver urban Aboriginal
populations have expressed interest in having us extend the ALLI
Film Fest to be shown in their own venues:
the Carnegie Center, Vancouver Downtown East Side
the Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Center, East Hastings
The proposed schedule for this is 1 evening/week, late summer
through the early fall. Each showing would be preceded by a
short lecture documenting some information about the language,
where it was traditionally and is currently spoken, as well as
of its current status and efforts to teach and/or revitalize the
language. The showing would be followed by open discussion with
the audience on the issues raised in the film, and the
12 Patricia A. Shaw, PI, ASPF Project: Aboriginal Languages and
Literacy Institute, UBC, 2006
challenges facing urban Aboriginals in maintaining ties to their
traditional languages and cultural practices.
