Allen Jacob

Allen Jacob, who is fluent in the Dene language, was first employed as a trainer with Nechi Institute in 1974, and has been actively involved with community, family and individual healing since. Allen is a ‘graduate’ of the Blue Quills Indian Residential School during 1948-1959. Today he is healing from the experience, having sought professional guidance as the need arose. He is contracted to deliver workshops throughout Canada on “Impacts of Residential Schools” as well as delivering accredited courses on the subject. Allen attended the University of Alberta for three years in the 1960’s and anthropology courses through scholarships at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
