Blog | Lisa Charleyboy. Roseanne Supernault (Cree/Metis – East Prairie Metis Settlement) first got her start acting as a teenager when she went to an Edmonton open casting call for Peter Pan and came very close to winning the role of Tiger Lily. She didn’t get the role, but she did land an agent and she also knew in that moment that there was nothing else for her to do but to pursue a career in acting. “The first time I acted, I fell in love,” she says. And the camera loves her back just as much. Supernault just finished filming the third season of the popular Aboriginal People’s Television Network drama, Blackstone. It’s the powerful women who work beside Supernault on Blackstone that truly inspire her. And that must be precisely why she started Next Gen, which lead acting workshops for Indigenous youth based out of Vancouver, BC. Her advice to youth that want to become an actor is to chase their dream and believe that it can really happen.

A recent University of Massachusetts Amherst study found having academic contact with female professionals in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) can have positive influences on students—female students in particular. For girls and young women studying these subjects in school, being able to identify female role models helps them imagine themselves as STEM professionals. The role models enhance their perceptions of such careers and boost their confidence in studying such subjects. I can certainly relate to this role model effect as an early career professional.
My dissertation advisor was female, as well as nearly half of the other members of the Biology Department. Moreover, when it comes to attracting more minorities to study and pursue careers in STEM, the same formula works equally well. For one, such stories are inspiring; but more specifically, for members of groups that have been historically disenfranchised or marginalized, it is also about pride.

Native American language index Native American people index What's new on our site today! Many American Indian languages are undergoing something called "revival" or "revitalization. " What exactly, is this? To understand the terms "revival" and "revitalization," first you have to understand the current state of these languages. Linguists have a variety of grim-sounding terms for languages with few or no native speakers. Language revival and language revitalization are attempts to preserve endangered languages, and that is precisely what our website project is about. It is true that in the natural course of things, languages, like everything else, sometimes die. Now that the Amerindian languages of North America are in the precarious situation they are, though, simply leaving them alone will not cause their extinction trends to end.
