Hereditary Chief Phil Lane, Jr. , M.Ed, M.P.A. Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr. is an enrolled member of the Yankton Sioux and
Chickasaw First Nations and is an internationally recognized leader in human and community development. He was born at the Haskell Indian School in Lawrence, Kansas, in 1944, where his mother and father met and attended school. Chief Lane is Chairman of the Four Worlds International Institute (FWII) and Four Directions International. He has worked in Aboriginal Education for more than 45 years. A primary focus of Phil and FWIIs work, at this time, is focused across South East Asia, the Americas and beyond, toward supporting the actualization of the Reunion of the Condor and Eagle Prophecy, through the use of newly emerging digital communications technologies. This global digital Initiative is called Deep Social th Networks and the Digital 4 Way! In August, 1992, Phil received the prestigious Windstar Award from the late Jon Denver and the Windstar Foundation. At this International event, in recognition of Phils lineage and long time service to Indigenous Peoples and the Human Family, Indigenous Elders from First Nations across North America recognized Phil as a Hereditary Chief through a Sacred Headdress Ceremony. On November 11, 2000, Phil received the International Swiss Award for Freedom and Human Rights from the Swiss Foundation for Freedom and Human Rights in Bern, Switzerland. These international awards were given in recognition of Phil's "unique contributions to improve the lives and future hopes of Indigenous Peoples by promoting freedom and justice for Indigenous Peoples by building human and spiritual capacity, rather than opposing oppression directly, and his international visionary initiatives with Indigenous Peoples toward healing the root causes of hopelessness and despair." Other winners of these awards include: Oceanologist Jacques-Yves Cousteau; Yevgeni Velikhov, Vice President of the Soviet Academy of Sciences; Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize Winner and founder of Kenyas Greenbelt Movement; Akio Matsumura, Executive Director of The Global Forum; the Dalai Lama of Tibet; Dr. Boutros Boutros Ghali, former Secretary General of the United Nations, and British Lord Yehudi Menuhin, musician and philosopher. Phil was the first North or South American person to receive these awards. In June, 2008, Phil was awarded the 14th Annual Ally Award by the Center for Healing Racism in Houston, Texas in recognition of Phils long-time, dedicated advocacy and healing work toward resolving Canadas Residential School issues.

Workshop 2Centennial 4 Empowering the Voices of Youth with Aboriginal Literature Integrated into Curriculum Dr. Helen D. Armstrong
This session will explore the role of culturally relevant literature in supporting literacy and identity-building processes among Aboriginal youth. While the workshop will give an overview the overall process, structure, and content of our federally funded research, it will particularly focus on the possibilities, going forward, of an Indigenous Inquiry Kit (IIK) model, which includes a strong literature and communitybased component. Participants will have the opportunity to become acquainted with several IIK exemplars created by teacher candidates. As well, they will have time to review books, along with curricular outcome frameworks, and learn how they might incorporate a variety of books into their own classroom, and then everyone will share their ideas with their workshop colleagues. Helen Armstrong is the Principal Investigator of the federally funded SSHRC/CURA project entitled Community-Based Aboriginal Curriculum Initiatives: Implementation and Evaluation. Her work within the grant' program and the university classroom has focussed on two primary aspects: 1) including community-based artist educators' knowledge in school classrooms to meet curricular outcomes; 2) working with teachers in schools and teacher candidates at the university level to integrate Aboriginal literature to meet curricular outcomes.
