About the Editor/Publisher of the WhiteDove Chronicle

Virginia (Ginny) Sand-WhiteDove is both Native American and Franco American. Her ancestors came from the Mi'kmaq (Micmac) Nation, a part of the Wabanaki Confederation, inhabiting Québec and Northeast North America for at least 12,000 years. WhiteDove lives in Bangor, Maine where she is again attending the University of Maine in Orono. She holds a State of Maine Teaching Certificate, a Masters Degree in Education, a Bachelor of Science in Family & Consumer Science, and a Bachelor of Arts in French and Native American Studies. WhiteDove is now pursuing a PhD where she can weave together all the disciplines she has been studying up to now: Education, French Language and Franco American culture, and Native American culture, traditions, rituals, and wisdom. This also encompasses the environment, bio-diversity, and the place where human beings share ecosystems and habitats with other species.

WhiteDove's e-mail address is: virginia.sand@umit.maine.edu

The birth of this publication, "The WhiteDove Chronicle"

I decided to publish The WhiteDove Chronicle in order to archive and share my research and writings, often bilingually in both English and French. The mission of The White Dove Chronicle is to improve the quality of life for every being on the planet, and to help restore full health to the Mother Earth herself. In order to achieve my mission, I am using and exploring many creative strategies, including on-line audio-visual presentations such as the following two sites:

Publisher/Editor,
