Learning and healing: a wellness pedagogy for Aboriginal teacher education /

During the last 30 years Aboriginal peoples in Canada have made steady progress in reclaiming the responsibility for the education of their young people, especially in primary and secondary school. In comparison the education and or training of adult populations has not kept pace and many socioeconomic and sociocultural indicators demonstrate a ' , continued confinement of those populations to the margins of the dominant society of Canada. It is the adults, the mothers and the fathers, the grandmothers and grandfathers, the aunties and uncles that are the first teachers of the next generation and the nature of these relationships replicates the culture of unwellness in each subsequent generation through those teachers. There are few examples in the Aboriginal adult education literatures that give voice to the educational experience of the Learner. This study addresses that gap by exploring the perspectives embedded in the stories of a Circle of Learners who are, or were enrolled in the Bachelor of Education in Aboriginal Adult Education program at Brock University. That Circle of 1 participants included 9 women and 1 man, 6 of whom were from various i Anishinabek nations while 4 represented the Hotinonshd:ni nations in southern Ontario. They are an eclectic group, representing many professions, age groups, spiritual traditions, and backgrounds. This then is their story, the story of the heaming and Healing pedagogy and an expanded vision of Aboriginal education and research at Brock University.

Indigenous Language Reclamation: The Learners Perspective

ABSTRACT This study explored the link between learning an Indigenous language and the meanings second language learners attach to their language recovery experiences. The study delves into the factors that motivate, enhance and serve as barriers to individual language revitalization efforts. With the goal of reasserting an Indigenous world view, the traditional teachings of the Ojibwe medicine wheel were combined with the lessons of the seven Grandfathers to provide a methodological basis for conducting ethical research with and for the benefit of First Nations people. Within the context of our relationships with self, community, spirit and environment, the pairing of Indigenous theory with the practical community experiences of Indigenous second language learners, demonstrates how Indigenous systems of thought and ontology lend themselves well to the critical understanding necessary to enhance the recovery our own endangered languages. These research findings indicate that there is a definite link between ancestral language reclamation and increased levels of self-esteem, a sense of grounded cultural identity and resilience, an overall sense of healing and the social responsibility that comes with receiving the gift of language. The barriers associated with learning an ancestral language intersect on multiple and often simultaneous levels making it difficult for the language learners to discover their origin.This research found that it was important for language learners to identify that they often carry a collective sense of shame associated with an internalized attachment to the modality of Indigeneity. Once the origin of this shame was acknowledged – as resulting from settler/assimilation logics, it was often possible for people to move forward in their language recovery journeys, while at the same time considering more broadly the structural barriers that make individual learning so difficult.

Differences in milk production, glucose metabolism, and carcass composition of 2 Charolais x Holstein F2 families derived from reciprocal paternal and maternal grandsire crosses

Two F(2) Charolais x German Holstein families comprising full and half sibs share identical but reciprocal paternal and maternal Charolais grandfathers differ in milk production. We hypothesized that differences in milk production were related to differences in nutritional partitioning revealed by glucose metabolism and carcass composition. In 18F(2) cows originating from mating Charolais bulls to German Holstein cows and a following intercross of the F(1) individuals (n=9 each for family Ab and Ba; capital letters indicate the paternal and lowercase letter the maternal grandsire), glucose tolerance tests were performed at 10 d before calving and 30 and 93 d in milk (DIM) during second lactation. Glucose half-time as well as areas under the concentration curve for plasma glucose and insulin were calculated. At 94 DIM cows were infused intravenously with 18.3 micromol of d-[U-(13)C(6)]glucose/kg(0.75) of BW, and blood samples were taken to measure rate of glucose appearance and glucose oxidation as well as plasma concentrations of metabolites and hormones. Cows were slaughtered at 100 DIM and carcass size and composition was evaluated. Liver samples were taken to measure glycogen and fat content, gene expression levels, and enzyme activities of pyruvate carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, and glucose 6-phosphatase as well as gene expression of glucose transporter 2. Milk yield was higher and milk protein content at 30 DIM was lower in Ba than in Ab cows. Glucose half-life was higher but insulin secretion after glucose challenge was lower in Ba than in Ab cows. Cows of Ab showed higher glucose oxidation, and plasma concentrations at 94 DIM were lower for glucose and insulin, whereas beta-hydroxybutyrate was higher in Ba cows. Hepatic gene expression of pyruvate carboxylase, glucose 6-phosphatase, and glucose transporter 2 were higher whereas phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activities were lower in Ba than in Ab cows. Carcass weight as well as fat content of the carcass were higher in Ab than in Ba cows, whereas mammary gland mass was lower in Ab than in Ba cows. Fat classification indicated leaner carcass composition in Ba than in Ab cows. In conclusion, the 2 families showed remarkable differences in milk production that were accompanied by changes in glucose metabolism and body composition, indicating capacity for milk production as main metabolic driving force. Sex chromosomal effects provide an important regulatory mechanism for milk performance and nutrient partitioning that requires further investigation.

Investigaciones sobre temas del desarrollo : Historización y desafíos de la parentalidad

Se historiza el recorrido teórico metodológico realizado en las actividades de investigación y el proceso de construcción de las diferentes líneas generadas. Se muestran los hallazgos de cada trabajo, desarrollando especialmente los de la investigación actual en familias con niños. Como hipótesis central, se considera que la crisis de las significaciones sociales, la declinación de valores, del sentido del deber y de la autoridad, diluye los marcos contenedores de las subjetividades, con efectos en el ser adolescente, hombre, mujer, madre, padre, abuelo, viejo. La metodología cualitativa utilizada, apunta a describir, analizar, interpretar y categorizar, los datos recogidos en base a: entrevistas en profundidad con madres, padres e informantes clave; entrevistas vinculares con parejas parentales, crónicas grupales, relatos de vida. Se concluye que las mutaciones sociohistóricas actuales, producen profundas transformaciones en la organización y funcionamiento familiar, que se evalúan como expresión de la diversidad propia de nuestra época y no como desviaciones del modelo. Se relevan tres modos predominantes de respuestas: 1) claudicación, confusión, incertidumbre y/o funcionamiento disociado; 2) refugio en la repetición de lo instituido , como así mismo, 3) construcción de estrategias innovadoras de habitar las situaciones, junto al ejercicio de una parentalidad compleja
