| Scope and content | File contains a presentation by Sara Jerome. Jerome, (sometimes speaking in Gwich'in which is provided in English translation) discusses her experiences with the education system (post-secondary), and her views regarding the culture and language of the Gwich'in people. She expresses frustration with Commissions visiting the Western Arctic in the past which lead to no changes. She also discusses her frustration with the Canada 125th birthday celebrations which ignored aboriginal peoples languages but put a high emphasis on English and French. She then discusses some of the challenges facing her people in the field of language retention and curricullum development. Jerome then discusses her job for the fall which involves developing a Gwich'in immersion program. | |
