Indian students face

The department of Indian
Affairs will be asked to‘employ
a teacher at Skeena Secondary
School to teach Indian Art and
Culture to Indian students,

The decision. to ask for the
specialist came as result of a
North Coast Branch of the -

British Columbia School:

“Trustees ‘Association seminar
on integration of Indian
Students this ‘past weekend.

Ray Hall, superintendent. of
Indian Affairs told Skeena: |
principal Don Cunningham that °
he willstudy the matter and has

_ promised to consider providing
the financial backing to employ
the specialist.

About 50 teachers, trustees -
and various teaching resource
people met at Skoglund Hot
Springs to discuss and act on the
problem of integration in public
schools,

Cunningham says most of the
seminar was spent in
discussion.

What can you do to help me he

asking them to endorse his idea.

school system,

Native students from outlying
communities receive their
secondary education at public
schools, said _Cunningham,

Many of the students have
-had very little-association with
the world outside of their native
villages. .°

Before. the successful
transition to white culture can
be ‘completed they must be
knowledgeable about their own
native culture,

Cunninghem said the current
public school system is
designed to meet the needs of
white students without: much
emphsasis of Native culture.

More than 150 Indian students

attend Terrace public schools.

At the North Coast BCSTA

Seminar it was decided to
attempt to bring closer
relationships between the
department of Indian Affairs
and the public school system.

The. Indian affairs
‘department, because of its size
and bureaycraéyhds:not heen
‘able to treat Indian Stidents ds
_individual human - beings,

Cunningham said.

The department offers native:
students a ‘choice of schools to
attend in. varieus geographic
‘locations in Alberta and British
Columbia. It. provides tuition
and boarding costs and provides
sutdents with a monthly
allowance. Other than
reviewing the students class
attendance occasionally it
offers nothing to meet the
special needs of the individual
student, he said,

He said the Indian Affairs
Department is now considering

Bi paying the salary of an Indian
a expert so native students will

have an opportunily to learn

more about their own culture,

The principal plans to
introduce various © courses
aimed at increasing the Indian
student’s awareness of their
culture. .

Tsiam Shan, the regional
native language, will be taught
to students instead of the
traditional French and English.

The language and Northwest.

-Coast Art will be offered it the
Department of Indian Affairs
and the school board okay the
decision to hire an Indian
teaching expert.
_. The instructor will hopefully
provide a counselling service
while also working as a home
coordinator, he said. Through
this method Indian parents can
also be provided with an idea of
what will or is happening to
their youngsters ‘and thereby
develop a Hiason between the
Students and parents while
Students attend school away
from their families,
Indians must retain their

,cultuyal identity, he said, Only.

gby impltmenting. ney, programs
-in the school systerd will they
‘develop or retain it.- “

‘Whether we like it or not the
public schoo! system is.geared
for non-Indians,” he said. --

Because of the programs at
‘Skeena School. Cunningham
feels native students there can
hold their heads much. higher
becuase they are proud of their
culture.

Contrary to popular beliefs‘

Indian students face very well
in the public school system.
Their grades and drop out level

compare with non-Indian:

students.

Most native students
attending Skeena for the first
time (grade eight). complete the
year. The drop out rate,

beings in grade nine and ten. —

These are the critical years,
Cunningham says.

_ Once a student makes it to
grade ten he usually stays until
he graduates.

However, grade 10 is a
realistic goal for many students
not only’ native students-
because it is the prerequisite for
vocational training, he said.

The people at the Indian
Affairs department mean well
and are dedicated, he said. But
the real - problem is
communication on the level that
can‘ help kids at the public

. schoot level.
