Instructor: Simon Bird B.Ed. M.Ed. M.N.G.D.
Simon comes from the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation and was raised in the isolated community of Southend, Reindeer Lake. He currently holds a Bachelor of Education., a Master of Education Administration, and a Master of Northern Governance and Development. Simon is a very proud fluent Cree speaker. His first dialect is th but also adapts very well to the y & n dialects. As Simon always says, “we have more in common then we do differences.” In his spare time, he hosts a language initiative via social media aimed at educating over 16,000 members via Facebook or YouTube. His fun and memorable way of teaching has also requested his services as a facilitator and MC at local, regional and national conferences. Simon is a strong believer in both learning traditional skills and formal education. The lessons taught in the bush are just as valuable within the classroom and are directly applicable in every walk of life. Simon believes it is critical to continue learning and keep asking questions from elders while they still hold open the door to our past. This philosophy continues to serve him well in his professional working career in education or in politics. He has served as the Vice Chief of FSIN, and as a teacher, a principal, liaison, coach, Superintendent of Education for the Stoney Education Authority. Currently, Simon is the Education Director for the Lac La Ronge Indian Band. With a population of approximately 11,000 band members, the community has made language and culture top priority.
