Native Youth Program

Series includes records created, received, and/or set aside by Pam Brown and her predecessor Anne-Marie Fenger in the course of their duties as supervisors of the Native Youth Programme (NYP, also called the Native Youth Project). Since 1999 Pam Brown has supervised the Native Youth Programme (NYP, formerly called the Native Youth Project), which aims to provide First Nations high school students with the opportunity to gain leadership and public speaking skills through a season of full-time employment as cultural interpreters at MOA. Brown’s responsibilities as NYP supervisor include securing funding for the employment of a program coordinator and six students and overseeing their training. The NYP was originally founded in 1979 by MOA curator Madeline Bronsdon-Rowan, who served as the program’s first supervisor. Bronsdon-Rowan retired in 1987 and was succeeded by Anne-Marie Fenger, whose records Brown subsequently inherited.

The records in this series document the organization and administration of the Native Youth Programme and the functions and activities of the NYP supervisor, including: student worker recruitment and training, educational programs and presentations, grants and funding, public events (including fundraising), field trips, publicity, and conference planning.

Records in this series include correspondence, memoranda, reports, press clippings, grant applications, press releases, schedules, liability waivers, study trip itineraries, public comment books, student assignments, scripts for student presentations, photographs, and audio recordings.

Sourcebooks and Related Materials

Series is composed of sourcebooks and related materials such as correspondence, consent forms, research notes, and exhibit design stemming from sourcebooks. Sourcebooks in this series were created under the guidance of Pam Brown. Many of the source books were created through the Aboriginal Internship Programme and are often either autobiographical or offer perspectives and insights into the interns’ communities and lives. Other sourcebooks were produced in conjunction with First Nations artists. Though most of the sourcebooks were originally laminated or bound in binders, in 2011 and 2012, MOA published four hard cover copies of the sourcebooks, which are also included in the Series. Creators of the sourcebooks hold copyright.

Vickie Jensen and Jay Powell fonds

  • 3
  • Fonds
  • 1969 - 2021

Fonds consists of records relating to the numerous culture and language projects that Powell and Jensen worked on since 1976. The communities with which they worked include:
• The Quileute of La Push
• The Kwakwaka’wakw of Alert Bay
• The Gitxsan of Kispiox, Gitanyow, and surrounding villages
• The Nuu-chah-nulth of Vancouver Island
• The Musqueam of Vancouver
• The Seton Lake St'at'imc (Lillooet) of Shalalth
• The Shuswap of Alkali Lake, Soda Creek, Dog Creek, Canim Lake, and Sugar Cane
• The Haisla of Kitamaat
• The Nisga’a of Gingolx (Kincolith) and New Aiyansh

Most of the projects had an end goal to produce a book, language education materials, or teacher training materials. Often the education materials incorporated cultural lessons throughout. The records created in the production of the books are varied and reflect the intrinsic connection between language, culture, and daily activities in the communities. Powell and Jensen were co-editors for nearly all of the language books and materials produced. Although some of the projects reflected in the records were done primarily by Powell or primarily by Jensen, the vast majority of the work involves collaboration between the two in some aspect. As Jensen and Powell immersed themselves in the communities they worked for, often their personal photographs and records are interspersed with those relating to their work. This community involvement enhanced their relationships with the people with whom they were working and allowed them to experience and participate in cultural activities as part of those communities. This close relationship is reflected in and is integral to their work. Jensen and Powell have two sons: Nels, born in 1978, and Luke, born in 1981. Their sons travelled with them to the communities in which they worked and lived, and on their work trips and sabbaticals. Nels and Luke are also present in many of the photographic records.

The records contain a mixture of research, field notes, administrative records, and publications at various stages, in addition to audio and visual records. Field notes, for the most part handwritten, and archival research into language and culture groups was undertaken by Powell, whilst the majority of the photography, found in a variety of formats, was done by Jensen. Manuscripts and final publications were a combined effort and are included at various stages. Administrative records, including grant proposals, are found throughout.

Fonds consists of 13 series of records. Series are arranged according to community and/or project, and include:

  1. Quileute
  2. Chinook Jargon
  3. Kwak’wala (U’Mista)
  4. Gitxsan
  5. Nuu-chah-nulth
  6. Salishan
  7. Shuswap
  8. Haisla
  9. Tait
  10. Northwest Coast artists
  11. Northwest Coast groups
  12. UBC totems/events
  13. Publications

Dance performance at the PNE

File consists of photographs of a dance performance at the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in Vancouver 1998. Norman Tait had completed a private pole commission that was publicly carved at the PNE, and he formed a group of Nisga'a dancers to commemorate the event.

Tait

Series documents Nisga’a artist Norman Tait and his crew of carvers during a period in which they were prolific in their creation of totem poles.

Jensen first met Tait in the early 1970s when she would photographic artists’ works for Bud Mintz, Vancouver gallery owner. In 1985 she had the idea to produce a book documenting the carving of a totem pole from start to finish. She approached Tait, who initially refused but called Jensen back just a few days later to take her up on the offer, after being commissioned to create a pole for the Native Education Centre in Vancouver.

Jensen photographed Tait and his crew, which consisted of his brother Robert (Chip), his cousin Harry Martin (Hammy), his nephew Wayne Young and his eldest son Isaac (Ikey). She also made notes and audio recordings of Tait’s lessons to his crew, most of whom had never worked on such a large project. The photographs and tapes were used in the creation of the book Where the People Gather: Carving a Totem Pole. The project also led to the publication of a children’s version, Carving a Totem Pole and a paperback version titled Totem Pole Carving. The books were published in the early 1990s.

Jensen documented Tait’s next two major commissions: two poles for Capilano Mall in 1986, and a pole for Stanley Park in 1987.

In 1987 Tait adopted Jensen into the Nisga’a Eagle Clan and began to teach her about the responsibilities that came with the honour. The lessons were put into practice in 2001 when Tait asked Vickie to guard the body of a family member that had died.

The series includes photographic records of the creation of the four poles; audio recordings of lessons and interviews with Tait; transcripts of the audio tapes; and notes. The series consists of five sub-series:

A. Native Education Centre (NEC) pole photographs
B. Capilano Mall and Stanley Park poles photographs
C. Misc. photographs
D. Tait family and crew artists’ photographs
E. Audio tapes and transcripts.

Misc. photographs

Consists of photographs taken of social events and carvers connected to the Tait project, but not officially part of the project itself. Jensen was invited to a number of feasts and parties hosted by the Tait family, which she often photographed, making a gift of the pictures to the family members. At one of the parties, a family member performed a dance wearing a mask made to represent Jensen and her camera, complete with the sound of the shutter. In addition to events, Jensen met a number of artists, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, through her acquaintance with the Taits, and she often photographed them.

Photographs and slides

Consists of photographs and slides created for use in the Let’s Study Shuswap books, as well as a number of images of Jensen, Powell, and their two young sons in the community.

Nuu-chah-nulth

Powell was first contacted to do a Nuu-chah-nulth language project in 1989 by Andrew Callicum, a Nuu-chah-nulth Elder and acquaintance. Originally they planned to create curriculum materials, but after John Thomas, a main informant, left the project, it was decided that they would create a dictionary instead.

A. Field notes
B. Dictionary/publications
C. Research materials
D. Morphological lexicon
E. Audio recordings
