Section 1: TCSA Program Manager’s Message
We often use words such as bright and
brilliant to refer to those with high intellect and
achievement. Through this annual report, we
invite you to join us in celebrating the intellectual
light that shines from our bright post-secondary
students, who, we are confident, will be among
the future leaders of Tłı˛cho˛ region. The Tłı˛cho˛
Scholarship Program’s mission is to bring these
bright individuals to light. We hope that the
educational programs and communities will
share in our efforts to support and motivate them
to reach their full potential.
Since its establishment in 1997, the Tłı˛cho˛
Scholarship Program (TSP) has focused all its
resources on identifying and honouring the
academically talented students of the Tłı˛ cho˛
nation. TSP encourages Tłı˛chò˛ post-secondary
students to develop their abilities by pursuing
higher education and applying their skills toward
challenging careers.
The post-secondary students whose faces are
shown on the inside pages of this annual report
are prime examples of intellectual light. The
Tłı˛chò˛ Community Sevices Agency has always
been an integral part of the “Strong Like Two
People” motto, which is modelled strongly in
two cultures, a classic symbol of knowledge
and wisdom.
• To promote a wider and deeper respect for
learning, in general, and for exceptionally
talented individuals, in particular.
• To shine a spotlight on students and
encourage the pursuit of academic excellence
at all levels of education.
• To stimulate increased support from
organizations that wish to sponsor
scholarships for outstanding scholastic talent.
I hope you enjoy reading about the numerous
accomplishment, ambitious future plans and
career goals of these bright and inspiring Tłı˛chò˛
post-secondary students. Once you get to know
more about these academic champions, I am
sure you will agree wholeheartedly that we must
continue to celebrate and invest in our Tłı˛chò˛
nation’s intellectual light. In this ever-changing
world, we will rely on these brilliant minds more
than ever to help create solutions to the many
challenges facing our society.
Masi,
Joe Beaverho
2008-2009 Annual Report for the Tłı˛cho˛ Scholarship Program Fund 1
Section 2: Overview of the Report
This annual report of the Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship
Program (2008-2009) contains ten sections:
Section Two: This section provides a short
background and history of the program,
beginning in 1997. It outlines the establishment
of a scholarship committee and the development
of a funding framework to evaluate the program
(2005 to Present).
Section Three: This section outlines the
activities of the program during this past year
of 2008-2009. The program received 181
applications for funding and provided funding
to 162 of them. Nineteen (19) applications
were rejected, cancelled or withdrawn because
students changed their mind about going
to college; others did not provide enough
information or were not considered Tłı˛chò˛
citizens. Financial support was provided to
students for intercession and summer session
coursework. A few post-secondary students
received emergency funding to return home
during a family emergency.
Section Four: This section discusses the
scholarship program and services to Tłı˛chò˛
students. It looks at how the Tłı˛chò˛ Community
Sevices Agency (TCSA) may provide better
services and support to post-secondary students
who would like to continue their education to
become successful and professional workers in
their Tłı˛chò˛ community.
Section Five: This section looks at scholarship
recipients who have succeeded in their life, and
encouraging other students to take the first
step in their education. Scholarships funded by
BHP and Diavik were provided to 18 applicants
who demonstrated academic excellence in their
studies.
Sections Six, Seven and Eight: These sections
describe the successes of the program, from
its beginnings in 1997, by listing the degrees,
diplomas, certificates and apprenticeships that
have been earned by recipients of the program
as well as a list of people who continue to be
supported in their post-secondary education.
Section Nine: This section reviews all the
scholars from the fall of 1997 until June 30, 2009.
Section Ten: This section contains the financial
report for the year 2008-2009.
“Masi Cho” to our Tłı˛chò˛ Government for
continuing to support the Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship
Program and the many people who have
benefited from the funding to assist them in
achieving their career goals. The information for
this annual report was compiled and written by
Joe Beaverho, Jim Martin and Kyle Kelly of the
Tłı˛chò˛ Community Services Agency for the 5th
Annual Gathering held in Behchokǫ̀ from August
4 to 7, 2009.

Section 3: Highlights of the 2008-2009 Competitions
The Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship Program (TSP) is
comprised of three annual academic and
achievement competitions: High School
Achievement Awards, College Achievement
Awards and University Achievement Awards.
Awards are open to all Tłı˛chò˛ students who meet
entry requirements, including proof of Tłı˛chò˛
citizenship.
• In the fall of 1998, the Mezi Community School
(MCS) in Whatì introduced a grade 10 program
for the first time; and by June 2001 MCS
celebrated its first eight students to graduate
from their school. Since then, MCS has
produced over 42 graduates, many of whom
have gone on to post-secondary education.
College and University Achievement Awards:
Over 622 students, who met the program
participant requirements, utilized the Tłı˛chò˛
Scholarship Program and entered the
competition for recognition in college and
university achievement. (Awarded to postsecondary students every spring and their names
are announced at the Tłı˛chò˛ Annual Gathering.)
High School Achievement Awards:
Over 352 students met program participant
requirements and applied for the Tłı˛chò˛
Scholarship Program. Recognition for high
school achievement is awarded to high school
students every spring and their names are
announced at the Tłı˛chò˛ Annual Gathering.
• Chief Jimmy Bruneau (1881-1975) had a
strong desire that our students would pursue
their educational goals in schools as well as
Tłı˛chò˛ traditional knowledge on the land. His
vision of being “Strong Like Two People” has
provided a foundation for educational progress
in our region.
• The first secondary school in the Tłı˛chò˛ region
is Chief Jimmy Bruneau School (CJBHS),
which opened in Edzo in 1971, originally as a
kindergarten to grade nine residential schools
for students from all the Tłı˛chò˛ communities.
Twenty years later, in the fall of 1991, CJBHS
introduced grade ten for the first time. Over
the next three years the school continued
to expand its high school programming and
eventually celebrated the first 13 students to
graduate from the school in June 1994.
• Since 1994, the Chief Jimmy Bruneau
Regional High School has celebrated over 310
graduates, many of whom have gone on to
post-secondary education.
• The Chiefs of the Dogrib Treaty 11 Council
were pleased with this development and early
success of these educational programs in
their communities, and wanted to actively
promote the importance of education and
training, especially for the Tłı˛chò˛ youth. The
Chiefs decided to actively promote scholarship
programs and grants as a strategy to promote
enrollment in post-secondary education.
The development of a new diamond mining
industry in the Tłı˛chò˛ region led to participation
agreements with the mining companies, which
gave the Tłı˛chò˛ leadership an unprecedented
opportunity to provide funding for this project.
• From 1997 to 2009, the Tłıcho˛ Scholarship
Program has provided over $6,000,000.00 to
our Tłı˛chò˛ post-secondary students, which has
supported the earning of:
• 177 post-secondary certificates;
51 post-secondary diplomas;
• 29 university bachelor’s degrees;
• 2 university master’s degrees; and
• 20 trade apprenticeships.
2008-2009 Annual Report for the Tłı˛cho˛ Scholarship Program Fund 3
Section 4: Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship Program
In 1997, the Dogrib Treaty 11 Council asked
the Dogrib Community Services Board (now
the Tłı˛chò˛ Community Services Agency) to
develop a plan for post-secondary support for
Tłı˛chò˛ students. After an initial $200,000.00
was approved by the Dogrib Treaty 11
Assembly, a Dogrib Scholarship Committee,
with representatives from each community, was
formed to develop the framework policies and
guidelines. By the summer of 1999, the Dogrib
Treaty 11 Assembly approved an annual budget
of $500,000.00 for the scholarships program to
support the post-secondary education of their
people.
In 2004, the Dogrib Treaty 11 Council (now the
Tłı˛chò˛ Government) and the Tłı˛chò˛ Community
Services Agency (TCSA) agreed to conduct a
comprehensive evaluation of the scholarship
program. After seven years of operation, it was
believed that an evaluation would assist the
Tłı˛chò˛ leadership in recognizing the program
successes, identify any deficiencies and either
validate the present course of the program or
assist in redirecting the scholarship program.
In July 2005, after conducting 105 interviews,
a final report, prepared by Tompkins and
Associates of Yellowknife, was released. Some
major observations that emerged from the report
included the following findings:
• The administration costs of the program were
very high, with a significant percentage of the
funds being spent on a coordinator and board
of community representatives.
• Most students wanted more funds available as
annual grants for everyone, and fewer funds
spent on scholarships that only go to the
highest academic students.
• There was little or no correlation between
funding directed to high school students
and their attendance at post-secondary
institutions.
Throughout 1995, there was discussion by the
Chiefs regarding implementing the scholarship
program as part of the programs and services
of the new Tłı˛chò˛ Government. By the summer
of 1996, the Chiefs agreed the program would
continue to be delivered by the TCSA, but
without a funded coordinator position and
without an independent community appointed
scholarship committee. These adjustments to the
program were an attempt to cut administration
costs and provide more funding for postsecondary students.
In the winter of 2007, after all available
scholarship funds had been dispersed, the board
members of the Tłıcho Community Services
Agency reviewed the program. They made
further suggestions for changes for 2007-2008,
including cutting back on scholarship funds and
funds provided to the high schools for student
awards, trips and graduations expenses, and
applying these extra dollars towards the basic
grants available to a steadily increasing number
of post-secondary students.
The Tłı˛chò˛ Government continues to support
the vision of Chief Jimmy Bruneau to “build
educational strength and capacity in our Tłıcho
people.” The Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship Program
encourages post-secondary students toward the
accomplishment of their courses without having
to repay significant debts caused by borrowing
money to fund their educational needs. By
helping students attending post-secondary
institutions with financial support, the Tłı˛chò˛
Government is helping to strengthen individuals,
their families and our communities.

Section 5: The Year in Review 2008-2009
In 2008-2009, the Tłı˛chò˛ Community Services
Agency (TCSA) provided coordination and
administration services for the Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship
Program funding.
From April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, the TCSA
received 181 applications from potential postsecondary students. Applications were reviewed
and evaluated based on the following criteria:
• Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship/Basic Grant Application
and meeting the application deadline;
• A personal interview with the applicant and
assisting with the application;
• Acceptance letter from university, college or
institution;
• Official transcripts;
• An assessment of applicant financial need;
and
• An assessment of a need for emergency
assistance when requested.

Successful candidates received first semester
grants deposited to their bank account during
the second week of September 2008. During
the second week of December 2008, each postsecondary student also received Christmas
assistance to help them throughout the holiday
week. In the second week of January 2009,
the second semester grants were deposited
to each student’s banking account. As well,
some applicants received intersession or
summer session grants to continue with their
courses from May 1 to August 31, 2009.
Emergency funding was used to assist Tłı˛chò˛
post-secondary students return to their home
communities during a family crisis such as
attending a funeral services. Funding also
supported students with their tuition fees to
continue with their apprenticeship courses
to meet the requirements in their work area.
Since September 2006, the program has
been administered without a dedicated
post-secondary staff member whose only
responsibility is to deliver the scholarship
program. Staffs from the Tłı˛chò˛ Community
Services Agency were assigned the programs
as an “extra duty” to their regular jobs and were
requested to do their best to deliver scholarship
services by providing information on resources,
receiving and helping with the scholarship
applications, support letters, contacting
applicants about other scholarship grants,
providing information on scholarship programs,
following the Tłı˛chò˛ Scholarship Policies, and
processing and depositing students cheque in a
timely manner.
In the spring of 2008, Joe Beaverho and Jane
Weyallon contacted the two Tłı˛chò˛ high schools
in Behchokǫ̀ and Whatì to make arrangements
to assist high school students with choosing
a career, selecting a university or college and
applying for the scholarship program.

On November 21, 2008, Grand Chief George
Mackenzie and Joe Beaverho, TCSA Program
Manager, were schedule to visit Fort Smith to
meet with Tłı˛chò˛ students who are attending
Thebacha Campus in Fort Smith. However,
Grand Chief Mackenzie could not make it to Fort
Smith due to a great loss of a respected Elder
in Behchokǫ̀ and Mr. Joe Beaverho went to Fort
Smith to meet with the Tłı˛chò˛ post-secondary
students. In the morning, Mr. Beaverho met
with Mayor Peter Martselos and discussed
the issues that arise from the students. Later
in the afternoon, Mr. Beaverho had a meeting
with Tłı˛chò˛ students at the campus. It was
a very successful meeting and most of our
Tłı˛chò˛ students attended. The students who
participated in the meeting discussed the
following concerns and issues:
• Applications and eligibility for Tłı˛chò˛
scholarships;
• Eligibility for other Tłı˛chò˛ scholarships, grants
and GNWT bursaries;
• Emergency funding, which are student’s
groceries, accommodation rent, tuition fees
and travel (when there is a death in the family);
• Student Support Program applications; and
• Campus services and laundry issue.
The meeting was well organized and
refreshments were available for the students. Mr.
Beaverho documented the students’ concerns
and provided a report to Grand Chief George
Mackenzie, Jim Martin and Kyle Kelly.
During the evening, Tłı˛chò˛ students and their
families were invited to an evening supper at the
campus. The Tłı˛chò˛ students were grateful and
thankful for the supper.

On February 6, 2009, Grand Chief George
Mackenzie, Phillip Mackenzie, Michael Louis
Rabesca, Behchokǫ̀ Youth Drummers and Joe
Beaverho travelled to Fort Smith to meet with
post-secondary students. At about 1:30 pm,
Grand Chief and Joe Beaverho met with Mayor
Peter Martselos, Maurice Evans, Jeff O’Keefe
and the JBTES Principal to discuss some of the
issues that college students had addressed and,
most importantly, how the students’ attending
the school were being treated by their peers. By
3:00 pm, we had a meeting with post-secondary
students and they shared their concerns with us
and the problems they had in Fort Smith and at
the campus. One of the most important issues
discussed was day-care as it’s a problem for
most post-secondary students attending the
college. Later in the evening, we had supper
with the students and their families. By 7:30 pm,
a Dene traditional handgame tournament was
scheduled at the Aurora College Campus and
students, their families, special guests and the
public were invited to watch the game. Aurora
Kevin Kotchilea, first year student at Thebacha Campus, enjoys the
handgames.
College President Maurice Evans, former Salt
River Chief Henry Beaver, Tłı˛chò˛ Grand Chief
George Mackenzie, Phillip Mackenzie, Michael
Louis Rabesca and youth were involved in the
handgame tournament. The evening was fun
entertainment for everyone.

12 2008-2009 Annual Report for the Tłı˛cho˛ Scholarship Program Fund
Section 6: Looking Ahead to 2009-2010
It is that time of the year again, when our young
high school graduates and post-secondary
students are hoping to get into the college
or university of their choice and to get some
financial help with their expenses. There are
expected to be some changes to the program in
2008-2009, which will assist all post-secondary
students in meeting their financial commitments.
The TCSA is proposing to respond to the
findings of the 2005 program evaluation and the
direction of the Tłı˛chò˛ Government, as well as
to the experience of funding an unprecedented
161 post-secondary students this past year, by
undertaking the following actions:
• Simplifying accessibility to the program,
wherever possible, and simplifying the delivery
of the program, considering there is no funded
program coordinator.
• Ensuring that all eligible post-secondary
students who apply to the program can
receive funding from the program. This was a
real concern in 2006-2007 where, for the first
time, 97% or $480,188.00 went directly to
136 post-secondary students. If expenditures
on high school students, governance and
staff had not been curtailed this past year,
the program would have been bankrupt and,
potentially, many students would not have
received funding.
• Maintaining very low administration costs,
if any at all, by having existing TCSA staffs
continue to administer the program as part of
their overall responsibilities. As well, the board
members of the TCSA will continue to provide
community oversight of the program and
respond to any appeals by students at no cost
to the program.
• Reducing the funding spent on scholarships
available only to the highest performing
applicants and increasing the funding spent
on the basic grant, which is available to all
applicants.
• Reducing the funds spent on high school
student awards and activities to increase the
amount of funding available to larger numbers
of post-secondary students.
By making these program changes in 2008-2009,
the TCSA can ensure that the original intent of
the program is honoured, which is “to provide
financial support to Tłı˛chò˛ students attending
post-secondary institutions.” The TCSA invites
your suggestions and comments on any aspect
of the Tłı˛chò˛ Post-secondary Student Support
Program.

work with computers, and then gain interest in
the office field. My current job requires me to
have Business Administration, and I love my job.
So, I applied to college and was accepted at
the Yellowknife Campus, and I want to open my
options and go to Thebacha Campus instead
My course is Business Administration. If I was
to go to Fort Smith, I’d have daycare and school
for my young family. The Tłı˛chò˛ scholarship
will go towards my childrens’ school fees,
daycare fees, supplies and deposits needed for
our apartments. Lucy Lafferty was convinced
I could succeed in high school and that really
encouraged me to continue my education
because it’s never too late. School was hard in
the beginning and got harder in the end. I had no
friends to begin with, but made a few friends. I
was happy when I graduated because afterwards
I got true friends.
To the young people, if you want the good life
where there is a secure job, not a short-term
position, if you want to be the boss in your field,
prepare yourself by educating yourself in the
position you want. It takes a few short years and
then you’re there, a professional. Don’t waste
your time, but make sure you know exactly what
you want to do in the next couple of years, SFA
can only pay 12 semesters, choose wisely.

of Gamètì, NWT
I was born and raised in Gamètì. My parents
are Alphonse and Marion Apples of Gamètì.
My father is an active member of the Tłı˛chò˛
Government as well as a political influencer. My
mother is a simple housewife who makes sure
we are taken care of. What I learnt in life came
from these two individuals, who showed nothing
but love. I graduated from high school in 2004
from Chief Jimmy Bruneau School. It took me ten
years to complete my high school.
Like many other young adults, experiencing life
and going through life, I thought I had it rough
because I ended up becoming pregnant while in
high school. But I managed to get through school
throughout my whole pregnancy and I ended up
taking a year off to work and raise my little baby
at the time. I always knew I would eventually go
back; it was just a matter of when. In those ten
years of absence, I ended up having another two
kids. I figured, the more I hold off the education
the harder it will be. By then, I had a full-time job,
three children and no education. So, one day I
packed up my stuff and moved into my in-laws,
unemployed and homeless. I told myself, it will
not be for nothing. So, after five months of hard
work, I graduated top of the class, with three
children and a spouse. It was not as I envisioned
it while growing up, but then again, nothing
really works out the way it was suppose to or
as planned.
The point is, it will not be easy, but as long as
it gets done. One of the reasons why I really
wanted to finish high school was because it
was hard to get a decent, well paid job. Without
the diploma, there is constant struggle and it is
a barrier. As long as I can remember, I always
wanted to get into some form of a business. So,
after dead end jobs one after another, I decided
to pack up my kids and move to Rae with my inlaws and just do it.
As soon as I was done with high school, I
applied to a Business Administration program
with Grande Prairie Regional College (GPRC).
The point is, it took me years before I finally got
to do what I wanted, and that was to enroll in a
Business program somewhere. As soon as I was
done with high school, all the doors that were
shut simply swung open, all the opportunities
that I wasn’t able to access or couldn’t get in,
seem to be available. It is true about getting an
education – that once you pursue education
there are endless opportunities available at your
disposal.
There were numerous services available to
students at GPRC. The support system they have
at the college was very informative. GPRC has
a Friendship Centre on campus where students
access computer, internet, telephone services as
well as other support networks. The scholarship
program helped me out tremendously because
without their support I would not be where I am
today! As a struggling, single parent with three
children, it was never easy. I struggled and went
through many hurdles and many tears after. I am
glad I have had the support of the scholarship
committee. I wanted to thank them for all the
support.

Section 7: Accomplishments and Success Stories
My grandparents were the late Bruno and
Veronique Apples, and Pierre Sr. and Marie
Mantla. My grandfather, Bruno, was a strong
leader who was a Chief and advocate for the
people of the North Slave region. As well, my
grandfather, Mantla, was a simple man, who
made his living off the land. He was a skillful
bushman and a provider. I fondly remember them
because they believe that times would change
and they were full of wisdom.
The strongest influence in my life would be
my father. He was the one who continued to
support me while I was in college, and he was
the one who encouraged me the most. I basically
looked at my life without an education and all
the roadblocks that were there, and the only way
out was the education. I knew that without an
education, I would be struggling and that I won’t
be able to teach my kids. So, one day, I had
enough, and I was going to get an education at
all cost. And that is what I did.
Aim high, there is no such thing as impossible.
Chase after your dreams... Don’t go through life
wishing and hoping to be like someone else. Go
through life believing that you can be who you
want to be and go where you want to go. It will
not be easy; the point, is just do it. Many people
get stuck with wanting things they can never
have. This kind of thinking only limits us. The
world is your oyster with many opportunities. The
more you acquire with education the vaster the
opportunities will become. Don’t limit yourself.
Think big and believe you can be one of those
people others idealize.
“Chase after your dreams...
Don’t go through life wishing and hoping
to be like someone else. Go through life believing
that you can be who you want to be and go
where you want to go.”

of Behchokǫ̀ , NWT
I was born and raised in the community of
Behchokǫ̀. I graduated from Sir John Franklin
High School in Yellowknife. I didn’t return to
college instantaneously, I ended up working for
the GNWT and as time went by I had my first
child, which kept me from going back to school.
But that didn’t stop me. I always wanted to
further my education and accomplished my goal.
In early 2007 I applied to Grande Prairie
Regional College (GPRC) and enrolled in the
Administrative Technology Intensive Program,
specializing in Computerized Accounting. I
graduated with a Diploma in the spring of 2008.
I am returning to GPRC this fall 2009 to enroll in
the Business Administration Program.
At the GPRC, all services were available for the
students to make the transition easier. There
One of my main concerns as a student was
financial difficulties. The GNWT Student Financial
Assistance was not adequate to cover my
monthly expenses while away at school. With
the support from Tłı˛chò˛ scholarships it has really
helped me financially, not having to worry about
expenses, and it also help me to be at ease and
concentrate more on my studies. Having the
Tłı˛chò˛ scholarship in place is one of the immense
financial supports for us Tłı˛chò˛ students. Not
many students get this kind of support from their
local community and we are so blessed to have
this financial support. I’m so pleased my family
and friends were constantly there to support me
to accomplish my ambition.
To all you students, stay in school and finish what
you have started. It will be worth it at the end.
With all the qualifications you’ve accomplished,
certainly it will open doors of opportunities with a
brighter future!

Stephanie Behrens

Program: Natural Resources

Hometown: Community
of Behchokǫ̀ , NWT
My name is Stephanie Behrens and I am a
Tłı˛chò˛ resident from Behchokǫ̀ , NT. I am the
granddaughter of Dora Migwi and the late
Joseph Migwi, the daughter to Fred and Louisa
Behrens, and the sister to Caleb Behrens. I
am the niece and cousin to many. I have the
very important role of being the mother of two
beautiful boys, Julian and Elijah Behrens.
I have lived in Behchokǫ̀ for the majority of my
life, until I decided to venture out and work on
giving my boys and myself a better and brighter
future. I have been a single mother to them for
quite a while now and I can say by venturing out
into the unknown, not knowing what it will bring
to us, was not an easy passage for me. I have
run into many obstacles along the way and have
been able to overcome these obstacles and used
them as path builders for me.
I graduated high school with top honours and
was nominated unanimously by my peers as the
2003 valedictorian. This gave me the opportunity
to represent my peers by giving a speech at
the ceremony. After graduating high school, I
felt compelled to further my education to postsecondary schooling, so that I could give my
children and myself a life that will open many
doors. I moved to Yellowknife for the Nursing
Program at Aurora College and attended it for a
semester. I found that becoming a nurse was not
in my interests, so I decided to take a year off
of school to upgrade at CJBS. While I tended to
my schoolwork, I was able to substitute teach for
the high school. Taking the year off allowed me
to reflect and decide what I really wanted to do
career wise. I became very interested in sciences
and wondered for a while what I could possibly
do with science and the fact that I don’t want to
be stuck in an office all day. It was during this
time that the field of Environmental Studies had
grabbed my attention and really got my mind
thinking, maybe this could be a job for me.
I again ventured out of Rae Edzo, but this time to
Fort Smith to go to the Aurora College in hopes
of attending the Natural Resource Technology
Program (NRTP), but it was cancelled due to
lack of interest. I settled for the Pre-technology
program to upgrade my sciences and conquered
it. After completing Pre-technology, I applied to
NRTP and was supposed to start my first year,
but couldn’t because my funding didn’t come
through. I had the choice of going back home or
staying in Fort Smith and furthering my education
by taking another program. So I did and applied
for Management Studies. I got accepted. So I
took that program and passed it. I now have a
certificate for Management Studies.
My long awaited goal of entering NRTP finally
become a reality in the summer of 2007, where
I began the two-year course with a 26-day
introduction at Tsu Lake, a camp 20 minutes
away from Fort Smith. What you may call a
moment of clarity hit me and I realized this is
where I belong. I have just recently graduated
from this program after two years of summer
and winter camps, including a caribou hunt and I
can truly say that it was the best time of my life.

Section 7: Accomplishments and Success Stories
I leave this program with a diploma and an even
bigger dream of obtaining my Bachelor’s degree
in Environmental Science at the University of
Lethbridge. I am getting closer to this goal as
the days pass on and am becoming extremely
nervous and scared, but I know that doing this
will allow many doors to be open for me when
I am done. I am already relishing all the hard
work and effort. I was fortunate enough to have
worked with Environment and Natural Resource
last summer and this summer I am working for
BHP, which is an awesome experience.
I might not have been able to accomplish any of
these goals if it wasn’t for the financial support
I have received from the Tłı˛chò˛ scholarship
committee, and the emotional support from my
many friends and family members. I have to
thank each and every one of you who have been
there for me and have believed in me. I have
nothing but gratitude for all of you. I am grateful
for having so much support, especially from my
family. As you may know, my late grandfather,
Joseph Migwi, was an advocate for the youth
and education, and now I can truly say that I am
living to his dream, which makes me extremely
proud of myself. I know he is up there looking
down at me with nothing but admiration
and pride.
I’d also like to say to the many people out there
who strive to make changes for themselves and
are too afraid – there is no need to be. Although
there may be some obstacles getting in your way,
you can always use it to your benefit and it will
make you a stronger person. I have been able
to accomplish so much in the past years while
being a single mother and I think if I can do it
then anyone can do it. It may sound like a cliché,
but it’s true; all it takes is a little hard work and
determination. There is so much more out there
to see and experience, and it won’t happen by
just staying home, hoping things will get better. I
hope that you can look at my situation and think
to yourselves that you can actually do it because
I know you can. It is never easy to face your
fears, self-doubts and gain the confidence to
pursue your dreams. But it is harder and sadder
to look back with regrets tomorrow and in future
years on what you didn’t do when you had the
chance. Your time is precious, so throw caution
to the wind. Just for today, achieve your secret
dreams and desires, and trust in yourself. “Don’t
dream it, do it.”
“I have been able to accomplish so much
in the past years while being a single mother
and I think if I can do it then anyone can do it.
It may sound like a cliché, but it’s true;
all it takes is a little hard work and determination.”

Hometown: Community
of Behchokǫ̀ , NWT
I was born and raised in Behchokǫ̀ , and my
parents were Joe and Julie Mackenzie of
Behchokǫ̀. As the second eldest of ten children,
I can remember growing up in a one-room log
home with my grandmother, Marie Mackenzie,
and my uncles, aunts and cousins. I attended
Joseph Burr Tyrrell High School in Fort Smith
and lived in Breynat Hall. I also attended and
graduated from Sir John Franklin High School in
Yellowknife and lived in Akaitcho Hall.
My initial plan after high school graduation was
to be self-supporting by holding a full-time
office job, which I did in Yellowknife. I became
interested in and received my Journalism
diploma and held various media related
positions.
I plan to continue toward a Doctorate Degree to
teach and write. I am currently completing my
M.A. Degree in Canadian Studies and Indigenous
Studies at Trent University in Peterborough,
Ontario. I previously attended Wilfrid Laurier
University, Brantford and Waterloo, and
Algonquin College in Ottawa. There were many
services available at the campus, from student
academic counselling services to writing
and studying centres, including Aboriginal
student associations and an Elders’ gathering
place (Trent).
The Tłı˛chò˛ scholarships funding helped in
that I went into my next school year debt-free
from school and research. It also enabled me
to purchase the most current and relevant
books and course materials for my courses
and research, including providing me with
the community moral support. My parents,
Joe and Julie Mackenzie, and our Elders and
leaders taught me to continue with education,
and it is still very important for me to honour
their commitment in order to better our lives
as Tłı˛chò˛ people. Staying in high school and
finishing Grade 12 is an incredible achievement
and a positive beginning. More importantly,
with God’s help, a world of learning, knowledge
and friendship will open to you, allowing you to
make the right academic and career choices.
Completing Grade 12 means you care about
enriching and investing your lives with a chance
for a higher education and a job you will succeed
in and enjoy.
It also shows that you honour the educational
and cultural legacy envisioned by Chief Jimmy
Bruneau and other Tłı˛chò˛ Elders and leaders.
The powerful visionary statement, “Strong Like
Two People”, is about faith and mobility that we
as the Tłı˛chò˛ nation will succeed with both Tłı˛chò˛
and English language and culture. Having Grade
12 means you acknowledge your own Tłı˛chò˛
strength and identity to enable you to compete
against thousands of students with exceptionally
high academic standards in colleges and
universities. As Tłı˛chò˛ students, Masi Cho that
we can participate, confident that we do have the
highest vision, support and hopes of our Tłı˛chò˛
leaders and communities, including inheriting
some Tłı˛chò˛ hard work ethics of our parents and
forefathers. By making a commitment to stay in
school, finish Grade 12 and do you’re very best,
you will find nezi de opportunities and move
forward with confidence.
