A wonderful opportunity to share my Koous Collection at the Canadian Aboriginal Festival at the Toronto Rogers Centre allowed for my daughter and her friend to model in front of hundreds of people! What was delightful about this fashion show is the models were all sizes and it was the first time I had seen all my designs showcased at one time!

stepping up to the cyber plate!

Greeeeeetings People!

Blogs are a completely new threshold for me-however I can afford the time to learn now that I finished my Master of Arts in Leadership from Royal Roads University. I also re-married recently to a lifelong friend Chris Cavanagh who is my computer whizzzzzzzzz!

The first item I can can think of 'uploading' to this blog is my thesis that details the successful launch of a new Indigenous Methodology I created and tested with my action research project. The methodology is designed specifically to validate Aboriginal oral teachings as formal research data. I named this methodology Creative Action Circles. The Creative Action Circles are to purposefully expand dialogue into creative expression to honour the retelling of oral traditions.

I hope you enjoy my inquiry into how Nuu-chah-nulth culture and experience promote healthy relationships once I get my Mr. to teach me how to include it in my new blog.

I suppose you could search Royal Roads Website www.royalroads.ca under my maiden name J'net August- it could possible appear under Jeannette August or try the title of the thesis:"

Cha chim hey aqulth: GO THE RIGHT WAY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS-

STRENGTHENING NUU-CHAH-NULTH CULTURAL IDENTITY
