Project Proposal 1st draft

Question: "How does a residential treatment centre, whose holistic approach to services for Aboriginal Youth, impact Individuals, Families, Communities, and Nations?"

To answer this question I will develop a web page that describes the Weechi-it-te-win Training and Learning Centre’s program, philosophy, and holistic treatment process. The web page will include pictures of the physical environment as well as a visual narrative of how being employed at this centre has impacted my own self-identity as an Anishinaabe woman.

To develop this project I will research the following resource:

  1. Elders
  2. Weechi-it-te-win Reports and Documentation
  3. Weechi-it-te-win Training and Learning Centre program resources, including staff and management
  4. Documentation on youth addictions
  5. Medicine Wheel Teachings
  6. Internet Resources on self-identity in relation to behaviours
  7. After care planning programs
  8. TLC restructuring Turtle island documentation
  9. Aboriginal teachings in relation to the Turtle island model of life
  10. Child welfare reports relevant to accessing services
  11. The Circle Ceremony

  1. In 1964, the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration (responsible at that time for Indian Affairs) commissioned the Survey of the Contemporary Indians of Canada, directed by Harry Hawthorn and M.-A. Tremblay. Published in 1966 following months of meetings with bands, the report examined the social, economic and educational position of Indians in the different regions of Canada. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

  2. The National Indian Brotherhood was formed in 1968 to present the interests of status Indians to the federal government. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

  3. The White Paper of 1969 ignored the policy recommendations of the Hawthorn Report and presented only another thinly disguised form of the assimilationist goal based on a candid rejection of any special aboriginal rights. Native leaders angrily rejected the White Paper, presenting their own Red Paper, entitled 'Citizen Plus,' to the government. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

  4. The government finally acknowledged a limited responsibility for native land claims, and the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) was instructed to resolve such claims through a new policy announced in 1973. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

  5. Native leaders argued for and received a role in the constitutional process of 1982. A significant result was the recognition and affirmation in the Constitution Act, 1982 of "existing Aboriginal and treaty rights" for all Aboriginal peoples of Canada, Indian, Métis and Inuit. Subsequent action on constitutional issues and Indian self-government was less successful, however, owing to the resistance of the provinces and lack of consensus among Indian organizations. Between 1978-85, discussions of Aboriginal issues entered the constitutional arena where legal questions dominated the debates. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

  6. In 1985, the government passed Bill C-31 to this end. Native women in New Brunswick were among those most active in bringing about the return to the reserves of women who regained their status under the Bill. But resistance to their return by generally male leaders has been a divisive force in many Aboriginal communities. In a highly publicized decision, the Federal Court ruled in July 1995 in favour of the Bill C-31 registrants following the Twinn v. R. case which pivoted on the constitutional right of bands to determine membership and prohibit the admission of Native women and children reinstated through Bill C-31. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

  7. In 1990, changes were made to the comprehensive claims policy in an attempt to expedite the process. A Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was set up with a broad mandate to examine in detail the relations, both historical and contemporary, among the Aboriginal and Eurocanadian peoples of Canada. The most extensive commission ever to examine these issues in Canada, it is producing its reports and providing documentation of its hearings in 1995-96. © Public Works & Government Services, Canada (1995). sub. Flinders, Lori.

WEB-BASED RESOURCES: CITATIONS: NOT FOR FINAL EXAM

  1. "If a man loses anything and goes back and looks carefully for it he will find it, and that is what the Indians are doing now when they ask you to give them the things that were promised them in the past; and I do not consider that they should be treated like beasts, and that is the reason I have grown up with the feelings I have....I feel that my country has gotten a bad name, and I want it to have a good name; it used to have a good name; and I sit sometimes and wonder who it is that has given it a bad name." -Tatanka Yotanka (Sitting Bull). (Brown, Dee. "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, An Indian History of the American West". Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd. 1970. sub. Flinders, Lori.)

  2. "I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there. It was a beautiful dream....the nation's hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer, and the sacred tree is dead." -Black Elk. (Brown, Dee. "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, An Indian History of the American West". Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd. 1970. sub. Flinders, Lori.)

  3. "Where today are the Pequot? Where are the Narragansett, the Mohican, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the White Man, as snow before summer sun. Will we let ourselves be destroyed in our turn without a struggle, give up our homes, our country bequeathed to us by the Great Spirit, the graves of our dead and everything that is dear and sacred to us? I know you will cry with me, NEVER! NEVER!" -Tecumseh of the Shawnees. (Brown, Dee. "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, An Indian History of the American West". Fitzhenry & Whiteside Ltd. 1970. sub. Flinders, Lori.)

A TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES

This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.

America: The Good Neighbor*.

Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record:

"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.

Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped.

The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, warmongering Americans.

I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?

Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles.

You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times - and safely home again.

You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke.

I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."

Stand proud, America!"
