1	Movement matters: the experiences of students and their teacher involved in a combined physical activity and academic program Curriculum and identity making in room 27 Cameron, Allison L. 14 April 2011 As a teacher within a special needs classroom of students ranging in age from 13 to 22, I observed first-hand the outcomes of unhealthy habits, behavioural issues, and academic struggles. In response to these learning and behavioral difficulties within my high school classroom, I created and implemented a Movement Matters Program consisting of a combined exercise and academic program for my students. The program produced phenomenal results within its first year. This thesis is a manuscript style thesis consisting of two embedded papers as central themes. The first paper highlights the development of Movement Matters and the challenges and successes experienced by myself, the classroom teacher, and my students. The second paper is a narrative inquiry that shares the experiences of two students engaged in Movement Matters and myself, as their teacher, and graduate student researcher. Over the course of two months I inquired into the ways that their school experiences and their relationships with the teacher, classmates, and subject matter influenced the way they composed their stories to live by. Also threaded through this thesis is an abundance of data, such as anecdotal records, pre and post academic and fitness tests, and student journals. Field notes, taped conversations and observations with each of the two youth captured stories and realities of their experiences and are inter-twined with the literature and the theory. These experiences and relationships are negotiated carefully using Noddings ethics of care. Both my experiences and my students experiences are situated alongside Deweys Criteria of Experience within a narrative framework. Using research, I wanted to understand and retell their stories as well as link Clandinin and Connellys commonplaces of narrative inquiry: place, temporality, and sociality. narrative inquiry curriculum Connelly Clandinin Dewey Noddings movement matters relationships obesity brain exercise physical education physical activity holistic

4	Tse Keh Nay-European Relations and Ethnicity: 1790s-2009 Sims, Daniel 06 1900 (has links) This thesis examines Tse Keh Nay (Sekani) ethnic identity over three periods of Aboriginal-European relations: the fur trade period, the missionary period, and the treaty and reserve period. It examines the affects these three periods have had on the Tse Keh Nay as an ethnic group in four chapters, the first two dealing with the fur trade and missionary periods, and the last two with the treaty and reserve aspects of the treaty and reserve period. In it I argue that during the first two periods wider Tse Keh Nay ethnic identity was reinforced, while during the latter period local Tse Keh Nay identities were reinforced through government policies that dealt with Tse Keh Nay subgroups on a regional and localized basis. Despite this shift in emphasis, wider Tse Keh Nay ethnic identity has remained, proving that Tse Keh Nay ethnic identity is both situational and dynamic. / History Tse Keh Nay Sekani Ethnicity History Tsay Keh Dene Ingenika Fort Grahame Fort Ware Kwadacha McLeod Lake Takla Lake Bear Lake Fort Connelly Fort Nelson Finlay Forks Adrien Gabriel Morice Alexander MacKenzie Simon Fraser Daniel William Harmon Samuel Black Archibald McDonald John Stuart Treaty No. 8 McLeod Lake Adhesion BC Treaty Process Beaver Dunneza McKenna-McBride Royal Commission Indian Reserve Commission British Columbia Land Claims
