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.

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.

The magma, containing quantities of water under. high -pressure and temperature, escapes into adjacent .rock in cracks. The lowering of pressure due to escape, and lowering of temperature causes the crystallization to happen. Fluid escaping in. this manner Sometimes dissolves the rock into which it is escaping, replacing it with contained both ‘in the intruded, and in’ the intruding rock.
