\nBeing Caribou<\/strong><\/i>
\nDescription:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2003 Karsten Heuer and Leanne Allison left the remote community of Old Crow, Yukon, to join the Porcupine Caribou Herd on their epic life journey. For five months the Canadians migrated on foot with the 123,00-member herd from wintering to calving grounds in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and back again – 1,000 miles across snow and tundra – across three mountain ranges, through icy rivers, and past wolves and hungry grizzlies. The film is a National Film Board production made from the footage Leanne shot on the 5-month experience.<\/p>\n
Spectacular footage and intimate video diaries give a glimpse into a landscape and a way of being human that create a journey never before undertaken. The experience transforms the team leaving them to try and convey their story to Senators on Capitol Hill one short week after returning with the caribou to their winter range in the Central Yukon. Karsten and Leanne are still working to stop Congress from passing the final Act scheduled to be voted on this September. 15-25 July 2005 – Lecture Series – registration necessary Description:\u00a0“Sovereignty Movement in Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec: It’s History and the Origins of St. Pierre and Miquelon.”<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0The sovereignty movement in Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec has roots that go back to the very founding of our two countries. Even today the Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec license plate reads, “Je me souviens” or “I remember.” What are the Qu\u00c3\u00a9becois remembering? And how is it that there is still a little piece of France in North America? This lecture will provide an overview of the history of the French in North America, the creation of Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec, and an overview of why it is that the Qu\u00c3\u00a9becois wish to separate from Canada.<\/p>\n “The Inuit in Canada: Northern People\/Northern Lands.”<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0The North and the Inuit have always held a fascination for those of us that do not live in the Arctic. This fascination stems back hundreds of years to when Europeans first came into contact with the Inuit in Greenland and later Canada. The history of “contact” is fascinating and has shaped the self-determination movements of the Inuit today. This lecture will give an overview of the Inuit as a people, the history of contact and how that shaped Inuit culture, and the innovative forms of governance that are being formed in the North today.<\/p>\n “Early Exploration in the North Atlantic.”<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0What if we were sailing east having no idea when and what we might “bump” into along the way? Imagine that each port we stop into is a place previously never seen or known. Imagine our anticipation! 500 years ago, Europeans had no idea that two continents lay west and indeed their travels were filled with anticipation, excitement, and surprise. This lecture will outline the history of exploration to the New World and how the voyages and discoveries of the explorers shaped our new nations from a Canadian perspective.<\/p>\n Co-sponsors:<\/strong>\u00a0Holland America Line; Canadian Studies Center, Henry M.

Language is a major factor in cultural identity. Protecting the French language is one of the key concerns of Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec society. As a small Francophone community, Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec has had to fight for centuries to preserve its language and way of life. In this era of globalization, the mass media have been both a challenge and a positive tool. In this talk students will gain a historical overview of the language issues, as well as discuss some of the methods Quebec has implemented to both protect and promote its culture in a mass mediated society. Language and Culture in the Canadian Province of Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec\u00a0<\/i><\/b>by Douglas Jackson, Canadian Studies Center. Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec is the only province with an official language in the arts and business; namely French! This session will provide an historical overview of Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec from the British take over in 1759, to the 1960s when the Liberal government under Premier Jean Lesage sought to introduce cultural changes in Qu\u00c3\u00a9bec, through to the present day. Come learn about this Quiet Revolution that has given the young people opportunities for a broader education and made language the key to the culture of Qu\u00c3\u00a9bekers or the Qu\u00c3\u00a9becois!

\nJourney to Understanding: Indian Child Welfare and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders – Cross-Border Experiences – A Mutual Learning Circle<\/i>
\nDescription:<\/strong>\u00a0With Dr. Kieran O’Malley, Assistant Professor, presenting on FASD. This interactive mutual learning experience is aimed at social work students, youth, educators (community and university based) to provide a forum for talking about two important issues that many, if not all social workers in the US and Canada, will encounter in their careers: Indian Child Welfare and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. In both the US and Canada, while these two areas of concern have impacted First Nations communities disproportionately, they have also generated unique and creative strengths based community approaches to practice and healing providing invaluable lessons for social workers and community organizers in the wider communities.
\nDr. O’Malley presented a paper “Transgenerational medical and psychiatric issues in Aborginal \/First Nations populations in Canada and the USA.” He also participated\u00a0with Carolyn Hartness in joint teaching sessions focused on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders in the Native American\/First Nations populations and the role of the social worker in management and advocacy. The conference was in Daybreak Center Sat. and Sun. and was opened by Daniel Hart the new Director of\u00a0 UW Canadian Studies. Michael Yellow Bird from Kansas was one of the Keynote Speakers.

\n\u201cUrban Waterfront Planning in Nakhodka (Russia) and Vancouver (Canada): A Study in Contrasts,\u201d<\/i><\/b>\u00a0by Lance Berelowitz, Urban Planner, Vancouver
\nPresenter:<\/b>\u00a0Mietka Zieba, Senior Trade Consultant, Russian Market Canada Mortgage, Calgary.
\nDescription:\u00a0<\/b>Commuting between Canada’s West Coast gateway (Vancouver) and Russia’s Far East portal (Nakhodka) is an experience of extreme contrasts. Both cities have grown up around highly developed, outward looking, international ports. Both cities are vital to their respective country’s maritime trade. And both are Pacific Rim gateways, through which passes a king’s ransom of goods and natural resources.
\nBut there the comparisons end. Whereas Vancouver has recently embraced its urban waterfront with a vengeance, Nakhodka is still profoundly disconnected from its waterfront in many ways. While in Vancouver the urban waterfront is now its most prized, highly valued real estate, Nakhodka’s is still almost exclusively given over to heavy industrial uses, many of which are clearly obsolescent. The two cities present a study in urban planning contrasts. Yet Nakhodka (population 180,000), with the right political will and civic leadership, could become the Vancouver of the Russian Far East. Many of the ingredients for urban waterfront revitalization are already there. It is not too hard to imagine.
\nCome join international urban planning consultant Lance Berelowitz–who is working in both Russia and Canada–as he takes us on a journey of comparisons and contrasts between these two maritime cities on opposite sides of the Pacific Rim.

\nDescription:<\/b>\u00a0In recent years, Vancouver has emerged as the poster child of urbanism in North America. Through a series of locally grown strategies, Vancouver has consciously willed itself into becoming a model of contemporary city-making. Like the most vivid dreams, the city is reinventing itself: something curious, perhaps even miraculous, is happening here. The visitors come in steady droves, and go away suitably impressed. Barely a month goes by without yet another magazine article or news report praising Vancouver’s urban virtues. And it is easy to be impressed by the obvious: the city’s spectacular setting, the intimate and apparently happy cohabitation of wild nature and built fabric, the tightly packed gleaming new condo towers downtown, the public waterfront, the vibrant neighbourhood ‘High Streets’, the neat parks and lush, tree-lined suburban streets. The place seems to work.
\nBut is the attention deserved, and how did Vancouver get here? And how much of Vancouver’s experience is applicable to other–and in particular American–cities? Why are places as diverse as Shanghai, San Francisco and San Diego now hiring Vancouver architects and planners to fix their cities? In short, what are the keys to understanding Vancouver’s unique sense of place, and its relevance to the rest of the world?
\nCome hear author and international urban commentator Lance Berelowitz explore some of the key themes from his award-winning new book on Vancouver’s emerging urban form and their relevance to Seattle.”

\nOver twenty years ago, Skagit historian, linguist and elder, Vi Hilbert, ended her teaching career at UW and, until Autumn 2005, Lushootseed, the language spoken by local indigene, was not taught here. As an entering PhD student in 1999, Bushnell wished to study Lushootseed as her ‘foreign’ language. Several undergraduates have also requested that Lushootseed be available at the UW. Last year, the American Indian Studies Program and Tulalip Tribes agreed to offer three quarters of Lushootseed as a trail offering. The two groups are in the process of working out the program but have successfully completed one quarter that was co-taught with a Tulalip Lushootseed speaker and Bushnell. This presentation will discuss the rewards and challenges of languages offered jointly by native nations and universities.

Description:<\/strong>\u00a0Down and over from their Victoria home for this joint reading are highly regarded fiction writers Dede Crane and Bill Gaston. She is here with her debut novel,\u00a0Sympathy\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(Raincoast) and he, a previous Giller Prize nominee and Timothy Findley Award winner, is here with his newest novel,\u00a0Sointula\u00a0<\/i><\/b>(Raincoast). \u201cBeneath\u00a0Sympathy<\/i>\u2019s smooth, deceptively quiet prose and light touch, lie depths of pity and mercy and grace. In this intricate, tender ballet, Crane\u2019s wounded characters reconnect with themselves and each other, reintegrating mind and heart through the unfailing intelligence of the body.\u201d \u2013 Pauline Holdstock.\u00a0Sointula\u00a0<\/i>is a woman\u2019s quest to revisit her past in the form of seeing a long-ago lover, and to find her lost son in a remote Vancouver Island village. \u201cGaston\u2019s compassionate and vibrant grasp of the human comedy, his philosophical depth and technical skill, remind me of the best work of Guy Vanderheage and David Malouf.\u201d \u2013\u00a0The Toronto Star<\/i>.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/dev.jsis.washington.edu\/canada\/outreach\/gaston.jpg\")
