I'm in Milwaukee right now at the Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Conference. The growth that I am experiencing and can't fully articulate right know. What I can say is that I'm networking with Freirian educators, theatre of the oppressed practitioners, activists and students from all over the U.S. and world. I got to introduce Augusto Boal for his Keynote address and this week I'm working with him on developing my facilitation techniques in his tradition. I have much to share with the community when I return. I'll see you on Sunday the 8th.

jesse miller - 07:06pm Feb 11, 2003

hi folks! today in class the conversation turned to our past experiences in various schools...sounds like lots of us have had a pretty rough time navigating thru the oppressive system. people talked about being drugged with ritalin, being expelled, being sent to catholic school, etc. so, raul had this great idea that we all should write about these experiences and turn them into a book or zine...evan suggested we could stitch the bindings ourselves, and someone suggested we could sell them at super saturday.

I think this is a great idea because i like hearing peoples stories about this kind of thing, and i know it would have been really helpful for me to hear peoples' stories like this when i was struggling thru junior high and high skool, and trying to figure out why i hated being there so much...because although i (rightly) blamed the system, deep down i kinda wondered if i was just stupid or something....and also, getting these stories out into the public a good step in improving our public skools, so maybe kids after us will have a better time of it.
so, we decided we'll bring rough drafts to class next tuesday and maybe read them to each other. or, post yours here! i hope lots of people contribute.

SAD NEWS
With the deepest regret, I inform you that Hazel Pete, master artist, gifted teacher, beloved tribal elder and cherished friend, passed away on January 2 in her home near Oakville.

Hazel was faculty member Yvonne Peterson's mother and served as "kiyah," or grandmother, to a large extended family, teaching the art of basketry. She was a Siam (master weaver) of the Chehalis tribe, and her work was recently featured at the Gathering of Indigenous Visual Artists, which took place on campus in the summer of 2001. Her weaving skills garnered international attention and accolades.

Hazel studied art education at Institute of American Indian Art and Native American studies here at Evergreen. She earned a Masters degree in education at the University of Washington. Hazel focused on enabling Native Americans to succeed in school, and assisted them in finishing high school and entering college. She taught Indian art and history, lectured on Indian history and culture of the Pacific Northwest, and helped tribal communities to reclaim traditional basketry knowledge and skills. In 1994-95, Hazel was sponsored by the Washington Arts Commission Folk Arts Program as Master Artist, and in 1995-96 served as a Daniel J. Evans Distinguished Professor at Evergreen.

Services were held today in Rochester.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRESENTATIONS FALL QUARTER 2002
ALL students will hand in a written report about their projects. Students leaving the program need to schedule a conference with the faculty team, write a formal self-evaluation and present their projects to the class following this schedule:

THURSDAY NOV. 14TH AND FRIDAY NOV. 15TH. BUILDING COMMUNITY WORKSHOP
From 9 am to 5 pm in the Organic Farm House. Contact Ethan by either email or phone.

SUNDAY OCT. 27TH. 1:30 PM

You are cordially invited to attend a special presentation this Sunday, October 27th at 1:30 pm in Evergreen's Longhouse Learning Center. 

Last summer students from the Muckleshoot Nation visited the indigenous community of Mariankari Bajo in Peruvian Central Amazonia. The Mariankari Bajo community is one of the 400 villages that form the Ashaninka Nation in Peru.  This is a historic trip because it marks the beginning of cultural exchange between Indigenous Nations of the Americas.

This report will be presented by members of the International Travel Module from Reservation-based and Respect programs. Our Module has the main objective of writing the proper documentation to set up the first exchanges and prepare a group of Evergreen students who will be part of the second group to travel to Peru next summer, this time as part of an exchange.  We are working to construct an online newsletter where people in general will learn about the academic programs in Evergreen that are making these events possible, the participating Indigenous Nations, the possibility to expand the exchanges with more Indigenous Nations, and more.

Please join us for the presentation if you can.  If you have any questions, write to Raul Nakasone at nakasonr@evergreen.edu.  

Best Wishes,
The Internation Travel Module
