Mark Thompson (1958-2009) Sagkeeng First Nation - MICEC Treaty 1 Oral History Project

Description written by the late Roger Roulette, interviewer: Mark Thompson was a member of the Sagkeeng First Nation northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Mark was a traditional spiritual Anishinaabe/Ojibwe practitioner and an advocate for the aboriginal people in general. Amongst his passion was cultural, language and oral history preservation, including, teaching traditional knowledge. Mark Thompson worked and volunteered with various organizations and institutions as an advocate and Elder. With his busy schedule, Mark was able to drive a truck as a vocation and visit many friends and relatives locally and nationally. Mark Thompson left us a legacy with, not only the people he met, but, with various interviews conducted while he was with us. Having worked with Mark with the Manitoba Association of Native Languages, Inc. (MANL) and the Manitoba Indian Cultural Education Centre (MICEC), one of his favourite subjects was botany and was willing to share that knowledge with the ones who were willing to learn. As mentioned before, he has left some documentation on this subject. In conclusion, Mark Thompson was altruistic with a good sense of humour and a hearty laugh. Mark Thompson was born November 24, 1958 and passed away September 23, 2009. ****** Nitam Agwi’idiwin Dibaajimom - Oral History of the Treaty #1 Region Video Project The Manitoba Indigenous (formerly Indian) Cultural Education Centre commenced the Treaty No. 1 Oral History Project February 16, 1995 with an interview with the late Stan Nelson of Roseau River Anishinaabe First Nation. Although Treaty 1 is entirely in Southern Manitoba, the interviews were not restricted to the area. The Oral History Project was to be conducted in the First Nation’s language (Ojibwe/Saulteaux) for comfort and ease of communication from the participants that comprised mostly of Elders. Contacts were initiated to proposed communities to assist in ascertaining potential interviewees by band offices, community centres, clinics and community members.
