School District 88 may
have to cut out a valuable
Indian Art program next
year because of the failure
of some Indian Hands to
meet financial com-
mitments, .The program

ates in the Kitwanga-
azelton-Kispiox area in
both -elementary and

secondary schools, and. was. ..

Kitwa
twanga Band. .

“They ave us so much
static,” said Dennis Brewer,
school Board member,
“They were the promoters
of the ruddy program. And
now they're the ones who
haven't paid,”

The School Board agreed
to the program only after
negotiating a_ cost-sharing
agreement with the Indian
Barids involved. The final
agreement provided that the
bands pay 50 percent of the

, costs involved and the
‘School Board the other 50
‘percent, .

Now the Kitwanga Band,
which has only paid $460 of a
$1,069 total, says they do not
recognize any commitment
to the Board. They do nbt

- understand where the

te =

amounts quoted to them
originate.

Not all the BAnds are
oving. The Gitanmaax, the
Hagwilget, and the Kispiox
Bands are all totally clear of
debt. Of the others, though,
the Glen Vowell Band is
apparently bankrupt, an
the Kitsegukla and Kit-
wancool Bands have not

paid anything.

. Richard Parker said he.

‘mainlywby.:the.-felt this. was the=:“‘most

successful Indian education
program we have had to
date.” Brewer countered
“Yes, but if we continue it
and pick up the pill, we'll

just get stuck with the bill

again,”
Nan Harrison agreed with
Mr. Parker's assessment of
the program, saying she had
very impressed with

what she had seen. ‘“‘They.

have an excellent teacher
and a great program, but I
agree with Dennis (Mr.
Brewer) that if we pay this
year and continue the

| program, we'll end up

paying again. As a matter
of principle, I don’t think we
should Py

Board members finally
agreed . that the program
was too good to lose, and

i ly ORE people:

[Inoue broke with “family”

that a meeting would be set
up with all the band
managers to try and clear
the problem of money up.
Someone suggested that
there may be some problem
of communication between
the two parties, or a
misunderstanding of the
terms agreed upon last fall.
A proposal was put for-
ward at the meeting that a

‘kindergarten class with a
* mix’ of ‘students from the

Child Development Centre

who have varying degrees of
physical handicaps, and
regular students be started
at E.T. Kenney School next

fall.

. The difficulty with the
students staying at the
Development Centre is that
they are too old —meaning
they have reached scheol
age-- and thus need a
“more ‘stimulating’ en-
vironment. Integration with

other children for two anda °

half hours in a morning
kindergarten class would
provide a greater chance for
personal growth.

After discussions with the
teacher who would be taking
the class and the principal of
the school, in addition to
consultation with the

development Centre staff, a
maximum .class size of
twelve was arrived at.
THere would be at eacher, a
full time teacher aide and
possible a child care worker
present in the classroom.
All of them would be
necessary because of the
difficulty some of the
children have in getting
around,

‘*The board has been very
supportive of the C:D.C. so
far,” one member said,
“and we must realize that
these: children must go
somewhere. ANd that
somewhere is into the public
school system.” Concerns
that the children might have
problems in the new school
were voiced and answered
with the fact that these
children are ready for
change and growth in their
lives. :

The other students in the
class would only be ad-

mitted after. careful
screening and parental
consent, There would be

some minor adjustments
made in washroom facilities
so the children with braces
and walkers would be able
touse the toilets without any
difficulty.

wife and his daughter in a
comfortable, sprawlin

five years. .
The assistant minister of
St. Mathews Anglican

Church, who is to be or-
dained May 29, introduces
me to his smiling mother.
Mrs. Inoue then-disappears
for an instant and returns
with a pot of tea. At+the
recise moment that we
Fish the interview, she
comes back from the kit-
‘ehen with more tea and
some Japanese wafers,
Rev. Inoue is polite, mild-
mannered, somewhat
reserved and eager to do the
right thing. He’s soft-
spoken, sensitive and has a
keen Intelligence that goes
right to the heartof an issue.
- He comes from a religious
family. Rev. Inoue’s
grandfather was a Shinto
priest. Relations on_ his
mother's side were

dhist. But the kindergarten
to which young Stephen was
‘sent was run by the
Anglican Church, and his
mother later joined that
church.
Rev. Inoue has always
been involved with the

church. During high school,

however, he drifted away.
This wasn't due to any loss
of faith or disaffection with
the church. The problem

was that school was so.

‘demanding for those who
hoped to go to university
that he didn't have time for
church activities,
University

Japan. Students are sup-
ed to do five or six hours
omework. Even then there
is a great chance of failing
entrance exams. But Rev.
Inoue had more time for
church after he got into
university. :
Later he went to work for
a big corporation for. four
years, He decided he didn't
want to stay there the rest of

his Ife. As an alternative, he °

considered entering the
ministry or working in the
church as a teacher.

But it wasn't easy to quit
the company. In Japan, the
compa y is considered a big
family. Even in times of

entrance:
standards are very high in -

members are taken care of. |
But the company expects
the: same sort of loyalty
from its employees. That's
the way Stephen Inoue’s
boss felt. . _

“The boss tried a mild
threat: if you quit and you
want to come back to is
com group you won’

have @ ob. In other words,
Inoue would be ostratised
from the family.

Inoue explains, ‘‘The
attitude is that you've
committed yourself to this
family, If you want to come
out, that’s fine. But it’s a
wrong thing, —

“H's a hard thing to ex-
lain to the Ps tod here
because nobody has that
kind of sense,” he said.

He felt he needed time to
think things over before
making a decision. So he
took some time off to go ta
the west coast of North
America. He liked Van-
couver because it wasn’t as

lluted as his hometown.

en he found out Van-
eouver had. a_ school of
theology, he decided to
move there.

The Rev. Inoue says
church involvement in
community affairs is more a
matter of individuals going
out into the community than

body: “We're still trying to
decide what is the relation of
the-state to the church. That
is a perpe
perpetual question,’
- The local Anglican Church -
offers Sunday worship,
Bible’ study and discussion
groups, Mothers’ Time Off
and Sunday School.

He has a tot to say about
marriage. ‘The purpose 0
life is self-fulfdlment. I
marry her because she will
help me fulfill my
tiality. People think
atops helping me, then I stop
helping her. We should be
separate...”

He explains that this is a
very contractual
relationship. He compares
this society’s - attitude
toward the marriage part-
nership to its attitude about
business and employment
relationships. But marriage
is not something to be taken
lightly. It’s meant to be
permanent. -

Rev. Inoue says, ‘The
Bible says die to yourself
first and you'll find you.”

What makes. a good
Christian?

Rev. Incue says people
should strive for Integrity in
their lives. They should try
to lessen the difference
between what they say they

Premier Bill Bennett

The Dease Lake affair
blew up earlier this year
when B.C. Rail was forced
to pay MEL Paving of Red
Deer, Alta. $2.5 million in an
out-of-court setiement of a
civil fraud suit against the
railway. MEL, contracted to

ade the right of way for

price of $15.7 million.
