Paperback. Condizione: New. Verna J. Kirkness grew up on the Fisher River Indian reserve in Manitoba. Her childhood dream to be a teacher set her on a lifelong journey in education as a teacher, counsellor, consultant, and professor. Her simple quest to teach ""in a Native way"" revolutionized Canadian education policy and practice. Kirkness broke new ground at every turn. As the first cross-cultural consultant for the Manitoba Department of Education Curriculum Branch she made Cree and Ojibway the languages of instruction in several Manitoba schools.In the early 1970s she became the first Education Director for the Manitoba Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs) and then Education Director for the National Indian Brotherhood (now the Assembly of First Nations). She played a pivotal role in developing the education sections of Wahbung: Our Tomorrows, which transformed Manitoba education, and the landmark 1972 national policy of Indian Control of Indian Education. These two major works have shaped First Nations education in Canada for more than 40 years.In the 1980s she became an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada where she was appointed Director of the Native Teacher Education Program, founded the Ts''Kel Graduate Program, and was a driving force behind the creation of the First Nations House of Learning. Honoured by community and country, Kirkness is a visionary who has inspired, and been inspired by, generations of students. Like a long conversation between friends, Creating Space reveals the challenges and misgivings, the burning questions, the successes and failures that have shaped the life of this extraordinary woman and the history of Aboriginal education in Canada.…

Born on January 15, 1910, he attended St. George's Residential School in Lytton [schools]. Baker worked primarily as a longshoreman in Vancouver from 1935 to 1976, rising to the position of superintendent of Canadian Stevedoring. Simon Baker's life is recalled in Khot La Cha: An Autobiography of Chief Simon Baker (1994), written with Verna Kirkness. With an Aboriginal name meaning Man with a Kind Heart, Baker served as a councilor to the Squamish Nation for more than 30 years, ten years as its chairman, and became the only Squamish member to be designated Chief for Lifetime. He twice received the British Columbia Centennial Award of Merit, in 1958 and 1971, and became an international cultural ambassador in the 1970s and 1980s. As a fundraiser and teacher, Baker played an important role in the First Nations House of Learning at the University of British Columbia where he received an Honorary Doctorate of Law in 1990. Ten years later he accepted the National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Heritage and Spirituality. Baker was invested in the Order of Canada in 1997. As a patriarch for nine children and 38 grandchildren, Simon Baker died on May 23, 2001. In the periodical First Nations Drum, Baker was later referred to as "the last of the great North Shore Indians.", a reference to a remarkable North Vancouver lacrosse team in the 1930s. Known as Cannonball Baker during his playing days, Baker was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 1999."-Simon Baker-" There is no mention of how Simon Baker received the name Khot-La-Cha. That name was actually lent to Simon about the same time that the title Chief was also lent to him; just prior to his trip to England to see the King. My Grandfather Andrew Paull along with other Squamish Nation leaders felt that Simon should have a Squamish identity when he saw the King and therefore lent the title Chief and the name Khot-La-Cha for that purpose.".…
