Big Brother's report
This past week- Bolds
many .unmentionables I
wish to divulge.
—Those.;.-, _:Lovable--:.t13's
were at it again last
week. B.M. (14B) was
showing off his new mode
▪ of transportation when
his carelessness caused
his tricycle to upset. Not
to be outdone S.S. (13B)
was later seen breaking
the tricycle. But top
honors must go to S.B.
(14A) who somehow or
another "lost" his
snowmobile • two
weekends ago. Mrs. L.
was last seen on a chair
evading., the path of a
"cute" mouse.
Mr. P. (el chiefo) is
taking": his dari`cifig '.too`
seriously. It seems last
Saturday he had trouble
with his jitterbugging
partner; her fate was a
broken wrist. Open-
minded P.N. (13B) has
discovered the hazards of
having his mind read. It
seems J.S. & B.K. were
able to guess his every
move while playing cards
in the lounge last week.
Mrs. R. is still not sure
h=owe could have been
-so mistaken as to allow
her Eng 450 class out
early twodayslast week.
The times on the board
rarely lie.
C.B. states that now she
may die in peace. Her
greatest dream has come
true, she finally met
Ooppsy the clown.
Well with the passing of
Valentine's Day, many
new romances have
formed, unfortunately.
Mr. C. didn't have any
luck with his "Rubber
Boot" act. But B.K. &
P.C. have become
engaged with their
wedding set for the year
2084. C.H. and R.E. have
a "thing"; both have
identical hair styles and
both were seen near
Walkerton Iastweek !
Finally in the Romance
department; T.R.'s (13B)
and .Lovable Louie's (His
550)—torrid' °' post=class
conversations finally
" came to' a head' when
Louie was heard to say
"You're too much for me
Teresa." .Needless to say
the young femme was
destroyed by the macho
man's statement.
Along the same lines, it
is ,now public and
widespread news that
short, pouched and
balding Louie (the same)
is taking a body building
class each • Friday
(perhaps to impress
T.R.) . Thj jmay. explain
why he hasn't been
washing his car on
Friday nights.
As a final note, I would
like to make a public
apology to L.N. (13B) for
a previous statement
about her "personal"
problems. Sorry L. (Now
I'll have to return all
those pickles) .
That's it for now- but
remember, wherever you
are, whatever you do, Big
Brother is always wat-
ching!

Students learn about Indian culture
By Michelle Corbett., give lip thele Indian.
Vin'hursday; Feb, 7, ways
Gordon Restoule, a
ntive of the.1okis Indian
Reserve near Lake
Nippissing • in Ontario,
.was at „CHSS to speak
about the native people..
Throughout the day, he
visited several
classroom to speak to
students�and answer their
tinesfions.
In the afternoon, • Mr.
Restoule •gave a • flint
presentation in front of a
large audience consisting
mainly of' geography
students.
The film traced the
.developmento-
of the Do-
Band, whose members
are Ojibway Indians. In
1850, the Band was forced
veral
thousands of acres of land
by the Robinson -Huron
Treaty. This signalled the
beginning of _ life on a
reservation for the.Dokis.
Throughout the following
years, the Dokis were
able to continue as fur
traders and resist
pressure from the white
man to sell their land and
In 1909, the Dokis sold
part of their timberland,.
The profitfrom this sale
was kept in trust for the
Dokis by the government.
Although this money
made the band as a whole
-technically'rich, many of
its 'embers remained in
poverty.
There wasno school on
the reserve until 1926,
When it did arrive, it was
continually , piague(1- with
problems. The teachers•,
who were not natives
themselves, came to the
school only to leave after
they found that they
couldn't adapt to life on
the reserve. This left
schooling on the reserve
very disjointed.
In 1956, 'a development
occurred which had a
radical effect on the.way
reserve life was lived. A
road, 14 miles long, was
built linking the reserve
to the main highway. As
well, a hydro electric line
was built to the reserve.
The road opened up the
reserve to the white

On Monday the CHSS
Junior and Midget
-Basketball teams went to
St. Marys and drew a
double loss.
In a very well played
game which coach
Clynick left with a great
deal of satisfaction and
no doubt whatsoever as to
his team's ability, the
Midgetsalmostupset the
home team. They ' ad-
justed to big court play
easily and drew a 35-31
final score.
The ,Junior Redmen
had afgame much like the
Midgets - a close 36-30
score. Good defense
combined with basket -
for -basket shooting made
for a tough , hard fought
game. St. Marys earned
the win the hard way.
The Seniors did not
play Monday (since St.
Marys doesn't have the
courage to field a team),
but will host Norwell

culture. Children who drinking problem than do -
were previously don.
school in grade 8 were
sent to "outside" school
for further studies. This
meant that they had t.
learn to adapt themselves
to a culture which' was
totally foreign to them.
Indians began moving
. off the reserve --and into
the city. Eve%:: on the
reserve the white -culture
was having its effect. The
attitude of, sincere
friendship among neigh-
bours was being replaced
by- more formal feelings.
Outside interests began
to grow and the com-
munity. feeling was being
lost,
In the early sixties, Joe
Dokis, then. chief of the
ro uce-d- the
tourist industry to the
band. This, more than
any other single
development, has helped
to keep the. Dokis band
together. It has fostered
economic and cultural
independence.
Thanks to the tourist
industry, Indians are no
longer leaving the
reserve at 'the rate that
they once did. In fact,
some are even returning.
Reserve children now
attend the white school at
age eight instead of grade
eight so that they can
learn at an earlier age
how to reconcile the white
culture with their own
heritage,
The Dokis freely admit
that- they are becoming
commercialized. But- as
they see it, it is the
commercialization which
is helping them to retain
their independence.
'The question period at
the end of the film raised
several interesting .
points. When asked about
the drinking problem
among Indians, Mr.
Restoule Said that
although it is a serious
problem among many
Indian bands, the natives
on the Dokis Reserve
have no - more of a
e their counterparts.
e Among' the youth, Mr.
s
Restoule commented that
s the biggest problem was
o marijuana smoking, just
s as it . is among White
youth.
He e`xpr-essed his
g opinion that the Only way.

young Indians- are. very
• apathetic towards their
heritage.
_,• Iowever, if they .• can
see someone other than
their parents and
relatives interested in it
they will take care to
_preserve their culture.
Because Huron County
s somewhatemovffd
from the Indian culture,
Mr. Restoule's visit to
CHSS was'enlightening to
many students.
Hopefully, this kind of
learning experience will
be repeated again in the
near future.
