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,

Language and Literacy Education - LLED 480A.951: 3 Credits

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

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.
