The Coeur d'Alene Tribe has faced significant loss of their land and pollution of their waters from encroachment and extraction by settlers over the past 100 years. Their reservation land was reduced from over 5 million acres to just 70,000 acres as settlers took the land for logging, farming, and mining. Mining waste dumped into rivers by miners depleted fish populations and led to widespread pollution. Today, the Tribe is working to continue cleaning up contamination and regain stewardship of their lands and waters. Moving forward, the Tribe aims to reconnect with their cultural practices like fishing and utilize their core values of membership, scholarship, stewardship, and spirituality to bring together the various lake and river communities to preserve and restore the

I was fortunate enough to have been raised by my grandparents who passed down stories of our culture, genealogical and spiritual connection to the land and always reminded me that we don’t own the land, we are only the care takers and have a responsibility to protect our ancestral grounds, communal resources and environment for future generations.

This presentation introduces the concept of sustainable fishing and provides different organizations that also are being sustainably conscious about fishing. They even present how this is done in Alaska and in Hilo.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Past
In the last 100 years the Coeur d’Alene Tribe has dealt with debilitating
effects of encroachment, extraction, and erasure. In the mid 1800’s, the
reservation was over 5,000,000 acres. When settlers came in our reservation
decreased to 70,000. The settlers took our land for developmental purposes
that damaged our lands tremendously, using it to create the logging and
farming industries as well as build mines. These changes caused large
amounts of pollution. Polluted water can lead to detrimental population
decreases of wildlife as well as habitat loss.
4. Past
Past: Effect on the Waters
https://idahobusinessreview.com/2021/03/22/what-80-years-of-
mining-did-to-lake-coeur-dalene/
During this time period the miners would dump
their mining waste into the Coeur d’Alene river.
This resulted in the fish population decreasing.
Lead also took out the forests and other
variations of vegetation.
If you swim in polluted water you can
get lead poisoning, lead poisoning
can cause memory loss and very high
blood pressure.
https://www.shraboise.com/2015/01/11215-coeur-dalene-mining-
pollution/
5. Past
In response to the horrible impacts of mining waste, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe
was able to sue the mines for the contamination of the land, holding the mines
accountable for the damage they caused.
We faced these issues in the past and the tribe dealt with these issues the best
they could yet we still continue to fight back.
6. It is a huge thing today for our tribe to get our
land back. We have 46,000 acres left to get
back until we gain that 51% which would give
us so many opportunities. The leaders of the
tribe have shown great Stewardship
(ats’qht’wesh) by starting at 70,000 acres and
bringing that up to 130,000 acres. Our land is
sacred, it is a place that our ancestors fished,
hunted, gathered, and lived. Our people took
care of our land and then it was swiped away
from them just like that, so it is a very good
feeling to be gaining the land back that our
ancestors once took care of so that we could
take care of it the way they did. In present time
it is a feeling of Spirituality (chspasilgwesn)
because in a way gaining our land back is like
connecting with our ancestors.
Land
7. Insects
‘ast’qhnt’wesh also known as stewardship was chosen for insects
because they take care of the fish losing the smallest thing such as a
stonefly, or a caddis fly is able to cause a chain reaction that will affect our
people in the future.
Waste from mines pollutes our waters by adding toxic metals, which
removes algae off of rocks taking away the insects food source causing them
to migrate elsewhere. When the insects are gone the fish will follow in their
trail because they prefer to be with their food.
This effects us because fish are a huge part of our culture that we
shouldn’t lose or have to travel far to find when they could be in our backyard.
For example when we traveled to the South Fork of the Coeur
d’Alene River there weren’t that many bugs and hardly any fish, but once we
reached the North Fork we saw many stone flies, may flies, caddis flies, and
we even saw fish known as trout and sculpins. The South Fork is an example
of the chain reaction I explained while the North Fork is an example of
healthy water. In conclusion the insects show stewardship by taking care of
the fish and not causing a chain reaction.
8. Today’s contamination to the water is better than it used to be.
Our tribe is taking part in overseeing the clean up of the waters.
The Tribe has 5 core values: stewardship, guardianship,
scholarship, spirituality, and membership. The Tribe taking their
part in cleaning up the waters from the hard metals is showing
stewardship. ‘Ats’qhnt’wesh is stewardship in Coeur d’Alene.
Present - Contamination
9. Today poor water treatment makes it hard for us Native Americans to get back to
our roots. Everyday back then we would eat 2 lbs of fish a day but because of the
mining dumping, our water supply was contaminated and now we have to go to
Wenatchee to get our fish.
10. Projected Environmental Outcomes
Statutes and Rules
Statutes:
● Idaho Code – Title 47, Chapter 15, Idaho Mined Land Reclamation Act
● Idaho Code – Title 47, Chapter 18, Section 1803, Reclamation Fund Created – Financial Assurance
Rules:
● IDAPA 20.03.02 – Rules Governing Mined Land Reclamation
● IDAPA 20.03.03 – Rules Governing Administration of the Reclamation Fund
11. Building of Relationships amongst all the Lakefolk
● Coming together as a group of people around the lake and river areas to
continue holding companies and government accountable for the situations
that they facilitated.
● Realizing that the best way to move forward as a culture is to find
commonalities with the other communities around the lake and capitalize on
those instead of pointing out the differences.
12. The Goal for the Future
Being able to utilize our waters for tribal uses again. Our ancestors ate 2 pounds
of fish a day. Being able to reconnect with our culture is a sign of resistance and to
let people know were still here. So we can also let people know we won’t give up
until we get our waters and fish back.
13. Summary of the Future
Utilization of Coeur Values for the Preservation of the Future
The core values of the CdA Tribe are as follows: Membership, Scholarship, Stewardship, Guardianship, and
Spirituality. If the tribe continues to maintain these values and expand to not only the reservation but Lake and River community
as a whole these standards can help to bring us together as fellow lake and river dwellers in the preservation and rehabilitation of
the waterways and the lake itself.
If we capitalize on Membership, Stewardship, and Guardianship this will help to increase the drive amongst all of
the lake and river community to help restore the lake and rivers to a more usable state. This initiative would create more
members which means more stewards, and thus creating more guardians. This will help in the process of healing fractured
relations with people by finding a common goal to resist against.
14. Summary of the Future, Continued
Scholarship is important because it teaches people about why our culture is so important to learn about because it shows how we used
to fish and how our land was stolen and how our water was polluted with lead and other chemicals and how our animals were dying
from the mining companies. We need to inform the entirety of the lake community of the wrongdoings in the past not only to the CdA
people but to the environment and to the outlining communities as well. If we continue to educate and show that this is not just the
Tribe’s problem but the lake communities problem because the lakes and rivers are used by all these people. Educating the people of
the poisons that still to this day affect the lake, forests, and wildlife. These are all common problems not just localized to reservation but
to the Coeur d’Alene basin as a whole. This would increase the membership, increase the drive to improve, increase the drive to Resist
the draw of destruction, and increase the motivation for Restoration. This resistance needs to be spread from the tribe to the entirety of
the lake and river community because through numbers, knowledge, and innovation shall we be able to restore these things back to a
more natural state.
15. The preservation and restoration
of these areas will benefit our
tribe in so many ways. By
providing clean water, habitable
habitats, and balance to nature.
