 My name is Bella Kaye. I live in New Vic, the Northwest Care Trees, but I'm originally from Fort Macpherson. My parents were Peter, the late Peter Kaye and Mary Kaye. I came from a large family, and there was 12 of us. My parents adopted their first granddaughter, so who should make 13? We take her as a sister. I taught for many years in elementary school, K to grade six, classroom teacher. And then I went into teaching the Gujian language in the year of 1992. And I just retired in 2016, 2015. So I still volunteer around the school whenever they need me, and I'm more than willing to do it. I feel comfortable with the students and teachers and the staff at the school. So tell me, what are you doing out in the tent here? What ages are coming by, and what are you doing? Like every year they have, like in November, they call it a bootleg camp. And it's a traditional camp, like they said, fish net under the ice, beginning to the end, and the children watch. We always make the students figure out how much fish you think we're going to catch today, you know? And as they're pulling the net, the fish, you know, we count and we name the fish in the two languages, in a vowel tune and Gujian, and it's K to six grades. And the camp that is in a new bootleg, it's just walking distance. So it's just day trips. We take one grade in the morning, and we do their activities and stuff like that with them at the camp. And then we bring them back. And then in the afternoon, we take another grade out. And it's right till after three, and that's Monday to Friday. Where are you hoping to pass on to these kids when they come to you? OK, what we pass on to the students is we talk about the different types of fish, what the inner vowel and the Gujian people do with them, like year round. Like in the summer, we go to the fish camp and make dry fish for the winter. In the fall and winter, we prepare them for cooking for our meals and other people, the community for the winter. And we show them how to cut it. And we name all the parts of the fish. If we have time, we cook it, and they try it. How do you know the program has been a success? After the program is over, and it takes about maybe a week, I think, or as we start early, we have lessons in the classroom. We ask to kind of review to see if the students remember what we taught them at the camp. And then, seeing that it's going to Christmas time, we get them to make Christmas cards. And they do a really good job. Second question, what does Indigenous education mean to you? What I'm looking, hoping for is in the future, the high school students, they should have courses, like with what they're taught at the camp. And they could be marked that way. And there's so many things that you could be teaching the students, like on the land, the sewing, like making their own slippers, making their own. I know they do it now, but most time it's done for them. And they should be doing, learning to do it on their own. Really pushing the students to get involved with stuff that goes on with the Aboriginal people, like in the communities. This is the way they learn. And they have to try. They have to try in order to know how to do it. And they get better at it as they keep trying. And where do you hope to see Indigenous education go in the next 10 years? I think that the parents, the grandparents, our elders that we have now should be really helping the teachers to do all these traditional teaching. Because in the future, I'm like 72 now. And it kind of bothers me, because I find that we have elders, middle-aged, the youth. Like, I'm always hearing on the radio. I read it in the newspaper and I hear it on CBC. And we should get all our knowledge from the elders. But what about the middle-aged? I really feel strongly the middle-aged is losing out, because they need to learn to do these things and start getting interested in it. And I think that parents are mainly stressing on the parents and grandparents to help the teachers get involved and make it fun for everyone. So that's the end of our interview. Is there anything else you'd like to add? What I'd like to add is I look at myself like I struggle when I went to school. And I know a lot of students do. And they should have some sort of a program for students, especially in the traditional way and in the valued way. Maybe then they'll get interested and like going to school and try harder. And they should make it fun. And they should be kind, really kind to the students. So that way they'll feel better about themselves.
