The Native Indian Teacher Educator Plan had a speaker at the local community college last evening. The NVIT lecture hall saw Joanne Archibald present a very neat and clean presentation on the past and the future for the first nations in British Columbia. metaphors such as the dust settling on the longhouse and a passion of a community to clean up the dust and discover what is good and valuable to continue into the future saw affirming comments given from the people gathered. The speaker is a associate dean of Aboriginal studies and a professor at the University of British Columbia . Joanne related the 36 years of the program that recruits and trains first nations teachers.
The program has been responsible for nearly 400 people to become teachers. The school itself has John Chenoweth and Many Jimmie because of the program.
Joanne is a Coast Salish native from British Columbia and gave a sence of balance with the past and future as it relates to difficulties of the past and the ability to not let them hinder forward looking actions.
The presentation showed lively cultural acting in part from the recent BC olympic games and the participation of the first nations in its opening and support for an open house for BC.
