THE '1.YENDINM;A a»!PTJ'I'mS AND CH.ILJ:REN PRQJECT

WHAT IS IT?

This project is sponsored by the MINIS'IRY OF CITIZENSHIP and ClJL'IURE, and by 'IHE MJHAWKS OF THE BAY OF QUINI'E BA.ND CXXJOCIL.

The purpose of the project is to provide the children of Tyendinaga with access to microcanputer technology. '1be Ministry has purchased 15 IBM PC jrs and a printer for the use of the project, and the Band Council has provided funds for operational support, in the initial stage.

This program is designed to provide cpportunities for children for creativity, information processing and problem solving while fostering fun, enjoyment and sense of positive self \o.Orth.

The goals of this project are as follows:

1.0 To provide cpportunities for children to have "free access" to ccmputers. (This is a project requiranent with a minimum of 14 hrs per week, per machine. )

2.0 To provide a non-structured, stimulating learning enviro�nt for children.

3.0 To provide interested children with opportunities to use ccrnputers to irrprove problem solving skills.

4.0 To acquaint children with the �r of ccmputers as an aid to creative problem solving and infonnation processing.

5.0 To provide opportunities for all members of the Tyendinaga canmunity to becone familiar with conputer operation and uses.

�OOFS ITN:RK?

Children cone into the canputer �nter three nights per �k, after school between 3:30 and 5:00. During this tine they primarily use Logo. (This is a progranming Collputer Language designed for use by children) This involves very little fonnal teaching. It is inportant that children be given large airounts of tine for "real discovery". The students are intrcrluced to the basic camtands and are provided with activities which give opportunities to extend their creativity.

Hat CAN I HELP?

Volunteers are oaeded to expand the program to realize m:>re of the potential benefits to the cx:mnunity. Presently the coordinator's position involves setting up rY2!W programs while mtlntaining the existing ones.

Volunteers will provide supervision services for the programs that exist and will allow expansi on of the ti.m3 available to the cx:mnunity and its children with the ccmputers.

The maximum ti.n-e involved for volunteers �uld be five hours per week supervising children between the ages of 8 and 14 after school. It is quite possible that the number of hours volunteered nay be less then the five hour maximum.

ID I NEED O'.Jo!PUTER '.IBAININ:; W EXPERIEOCE?

No training or experience is re:iuired. The coordinator will insure that you receive all of the assistance arrl training necessary to carry out the duties involved with the program.

FIRST NATIONS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE UPDATE

WHAT IS THE FIRST NATIONS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE ?

You may have been wondering about what is happening with the band's proposal to build a technical institute on the reserve to provide "high-technology" training for the Indian People of Ontario. The original proposal was turned down by the (then) Minister of Employment and Immigration, John Roberts. The band tried to appeal this decision but the election and change of government prevented the issue from being reconsidered. Since the election, members of the Institute Steering Committee have been meeting with officials from the Department of Indian Affairs to pursue funding for the college. As a result of this lobbying, sufficient funds were given to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte to offer four three-day training courses in computer operation under the banner of the First Nations Technical Institute.

The first course was offered to Department of Indian Affairs managers and the next two courses were for employees of bands in Ontario. The training was provided to mem hers of the Mohawks of the Bay of Q uinte staff and bands from Peterborough, James Bay and Sudbury Districts. The last course is a special project between Peterborough District Office and the Mohawks of the Bay of Q uinte on using computers to send mail over the telephone lines. The quality of the courses is reflected in the favourable evaluation forms completed by the students. Bruce Millar and Dave Wilson were the instructors at these courses at the Ramada Hotel in Belleville.

A HOME FOR THE FIRST NATIONS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE ?

We are presently meeting with Department of Indian Affairs officials from Toronto and Ottawa to secure sufficient funding to continue offering these training seminars to band and Department staff. As soon as the new offices next to the Band Office are completed and renovated, the courses will be offered there. A proposal has been submitted to the Government to fund the building and equipping of a permanent home and residence for the First Nations Technical Institute over the next three years.

LOYALIST COLLEGE OF APPLIED ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY

During the two years that the band has been working on the proposal, Loyalist College members have been lending us their support. It is now agreed that the graduates of any standard training course from the First Nations Technical Institute will receive Loyalist College Certificates and Loyalist College will appoint some members to the Board of Governors of the First Nations Technical Institute. This affiliation with an established college will be the first such arrangement in Canada to allow an Indian Training Institute to offer certified courses on a reserve. The exact type of courses (Diploma and Certificate) to be offered in the future have not been determined although they will likely be related to computers and Band Management. In addition, preliminary discussions are underway to carry out a number of special projects.

WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING NEXT?

During this year we hope to be offering more short training courses to the employees of other Bands in Ontario as well as to the Department of Indian Affairs staff. At least one non-semestered diploma course in word-processing or some other facet of office use may be operational by the end of 1985. Other special courses may be delivered to meet specific training needs by bands. Hopefully, the equipment will be able to be used at other times to offer courses of interest to band members - word processing, home accounting, programming etc. It is hoped that the Computers and Children Project will also be able to make use of the equipment when courses are not being offered. As soon as plans are definite, you will be informed.

FIRST NATIONS TECHNICAL INSTITUTE LOGO CONTEST

With all of the activity regarding the First Nations Technical Institute, there is a need for a logo or crest to be used on the letterhead, signs etc. of the Institute. The band has decided to sponsor a contest to design a logo for the First Nations Technical Institute. The rules are as follows:

1.0 The contest is open to all members of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte Band.

2.0 Entries should be submitted to the Band Office by May 15, 1985.

3.0 All entries should be submitted on standard 8 1/2 by 11 inch white paper.

4.0 Each entry should be clearly marked with the idenity and telephone number of the designer.

5.0 The design should incorporate traditional symbols with the name First Nations Technical Institute or be a stylized version of the initials.

6.0 Up to three colours may be employed in the design.

7,0 Judging of the entries will be done by a panel chosen by the Band Council.

8,0 The designer of the winning entry will receive a $100 pnze.

9.0 GOOD LUCK

How to Ruin a Child by RICHARD SANOS (P.C. 3717)

1. Begin with infancy to give the child everything hewants. In this way he will grow to believe the world owes him a living.

2. When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. Thiswill make him think he's cute. It will encourage him to pick up 'cuter' phrases that will blow off the top of your head later.

3. Never give him any spiritual training. Wait untilhe is 21, and then let him "decide for himself'.

4. Avoid use of the word 'wrong'. It may develop aguilt complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested for stealing a car, that society is against him and he's being prosecuted.

5. Pick up everything he leaves lying around -books, shoes, clothes. Do everything for him so that he will be experienced in throwing all responsibility on others.

Drawn by Constable Graham Muir, R.C.M.P., Surrey,

6. Let him read any printed matter he can get hishands on. Be careful that the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilize4. but let his mind feast on garbage.

7. Quarrel frequently in the presence of yourchildren. In this way they will not be too shocked when the home is br6ken up later.

8. Give a child all the spending money he wants.Never let him eam his own. Why should he have things as tough as you had theml

9. Satisfy his every craving for food, drink, com­fort. See that every sensual desire is gratified. Denial may lead to harmful frustration.

10. Take his part against neighbours, teachers,policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.

11. When he gets into real trouble, apologize foryourself by saying "I never could do anything withh. ., 1m.

12. Prepare for a life of grief. You will likely have it!
