spirits of our whaling ancestorsRevitalizing Makah and Nuu-chah-nulth Traditionscharlotte coté, foreword by micah mccarty

Spirits of Our Whaling Ancestors offers a valuable perspective on the issues surrounding indigenous whaling, past and present.

Following the removal of the gray whale from the Endangered Species list in 1994, the Makah tribe of northwest Washington State and the Nuu-chah-nulth Nation of British Columbia announced that they would revive their whale hunts. The Makah whale hunt of 1999 was met with enthusiastic support and vehement opposition. A member of the Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation, Charlotte Coté offers a valuable perspective on the issues surrounding indigenous whaling. Her analysis includes major Native studies and contemporary Native rights issues, addressing environmentalism, animal rights activism, anti-treaty conservatism, and the public's expectations about what it means to be “Indian."

Hunters at the marginNative People and Wildlife Conservation in the Northwest TerritoriesJohn sandlos

Winner of the 2008 clio award for the north, Canadian Historical Association

Winner of the 2008 charles a. weyerhaeuser award, Forest History Society

Hunters at the Margin examines the conflict in the Northwest Territories between Native hunters and conservationists over three big game species: the wood bison, the muskox, and the caribou. John Sandlos argues that the introduction of game regulations, national parks, and game sanctuaries was central to the assertion of state authority over the traditional hunting cultures of the Dene and Inuit. His archival research undermines the assumption that conservationists were motivated solely by enlightened preservationism, revealing instead that commercial interests were integral to wildlife management in Canada.

Home is the HunterThe James Bay Cree and Their LandHans m. carlson

Shortlisted, 2010 Harold adams innis prize, Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Science

Since 1970 in Quebec, there has been immense change for the Cree, who now live with the consequences of Quebec’s massive development of the North. Home Is the Hunter presents the historical, environmental, and cultural context from which this recent story grows. Hans Carlson shows how the Cree view their lands as their home, their garden, and their memory of themselves as a people. By investigating the Cree’s three hundred years of contact with outsiders, he illuminates the process of cultural negotiation at the foundation of ongoing political and environmental debates. This book offers a way of thinking about indigenous peoples’ struggles for rights and environmental justice in Canada and elsewhere.

Hans m. carlson has travelled extensively in northern Quebec and Labrador by canoe and snowshoe. He is currently teaching in the American Indian Studies program at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

indigenous peoples and autonomyInsights for a Global Ageedited by mario blaser, ravi de costa, deborah mcgregor, and william d. coleman

This innovative collection examines how indigenous peoples in various contexts have thought about, and responded to, the pressures of globalization on their cultural, political, and geographical autonomy.

This volume presents case studies from around the world that explore how Indigenous peoples are engaging with and challenging globalization and Western views of autonomy. Taken together, these insightful studies reveal that concepts such as globalization and autonomy neither encapsulate nor explain Indigenous peoples’ experiences.

finding dahshaaSelf–Government, Social Suffering, and Aboriginal Policy in Canadastephanie irlbacher-fox

Shortlisted for the 2010 canadian aboriginal History book prize, Canadian Historical Association

Shortlisted for the 2010 donald smiley prize, Canadian Political Science Association

Finding Dahshaa draws on Stephanie Irlbacher-Fox’s extensive hands-on negotiating experience, and formidable research and academic skills, to offer badly needed analysis of past and current issues impeding progress on aboriginal self-government in the Mackenzie Valley. I recommend this book.– Mary Simon, President, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami

Just as dahshaa – a rare type of dried, rotted spruce wood – is essential to the Dene moosehide-tanning process, self-determination and the alleviation of social suffering are necessary to Indigenous survival in the Northwest Territories. But is self-government an effective path to self-determination? Finding Dahshaa shows where self-government negotiations between Canada and the Dehcho, Délînê, and Inuvialuit and Gwich’in peoples have gone wrong and offers, through descriptions of tanning practices that embody principles and values central to self-determination, an alternative model for negotiations. This accessible book, which includes a foreword by Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus, is the first ethnographic study of self-government negotiations in Canada.

unsettling the settler withinIndian Residential Schools, Truth Telling, and Reconciliation in Canadapaulette regan

This book is significant not only as it concerns relations between indigenous peoples and Canadians; it will be of interest to those working in multicultural settings of many kinds where power imbalances have affected relations. Paulette Regan manages to combine scholarly discourse with personal accounts in ways that buttress its credibility and make it a must-read for anyone interested in reconciliation between peoples.– L. Michelle LeBaron, Professor of Law and

Director, UBC Program on Dispute Resolution

Unsettling the Settler Within weaves together a unique blend of empirical evidence and personal vignettes to show why all Canadians should care deeply about the history of Indian residential schools and work actively to dismantle their legacy. Paulette Regan, a former residential schools claims manager, reveals the truth behind the rhetoric of benevolence that has falsely coloured settler-Indigenous relations. Her personal account of a transformative experience at a Gitxsan apology feast conveys a powerful lesson: Canadians must engage in their own unsettling journey of decolonization if true healing and reconciliation are to occur.

indigenous women and feminismPolitics, Activism, Cultureedited by cheryl suzack, shari m. Huhndorf, Jeanne perreault, and Jean barman

Taking up a range of topics related to indigenous politics, activism, and culture, this volume makes a strong contribution to the debates surrounding indigenous feminist theories and practices.

Indigenous feminism has often been subsumed within the categories of women of colour and postcolonial feminism, but in truth it goes beyond these constructs to engage in crucial issues of cultural identity, nationalism, and decolonization. This collection looks at developments in indigenous feminist culture, activism, and politics to explore how indigenous women are creating a space within feminism specific to their interests.

being again of one mindOneida Women and the Struggle for Decolonizationlina sunseri

by giving a voice to oneida women’s thoughts on tradition and nation, this book challenges mainstream feminist critiques of nation and nationalism.

Being Again of One Mind combines a critical reading of feminist literature on nationalism with the narratives of Oneida women of various generations to reveal that some Indigenous women view nationalism in the form of decolonization as a way to restore traditional gender balance and well-being to their own lives and communities. These insights challenge mainstream feminist ideas about the masculine bias of Western theories of nation and about the dangers of nationalist movements that idealize women’s so-called traditional role, questioning whether they apply to Indigenous women

no need of a chief for this bandMaritime Mi’kmaq and Federal Electoral Legislation, 1899–1951martha elizabeth walls

This important, compelling study reveals the creativity and persistence of the Mi'kmaq in responding to the federal assimilation campaign. By demonstrating the flexibility with which the Mi'kmaq resisted, accommodated, and adapted the triennial elective band council system, Walls contributes significantly to a more nuanced understanding of Mi'kmaw cultural change, political engagement, and interaction with government.–Robin Jarvis Brownlie, author of A Fatherly

Eye: Indian Agents, Government Power, and Aboriginal Resistance in Ontario, 1918-1939

In 1899 the Canadian government passed legislation to replace the community appointment of Mi’kmaw leaders and Mi’kmaw political practices with the triennial system, a Euro-Canadian system of democratic band council elections. Officials in Ottawa assumed that the federally mandated and supervised system would redefine Mi’kmaw politics. They were wrong. Many Mi’kmaw communities rejected or amended the legislation, while others accepted it only sporadically to meet specific community needs and goals. Compelling and timely, this book supports Aboriginal claims to self-governance and complicates understandings of state power by showing that the Mi’kmaq, rather than succumbing to imposed political models, retained political practices that distinguished them from their Euro-Canadian neighbours.

nunavutRethinking Political Cultureailsa Henderson

Shortlisted for the 2008 donald smiley book prize, Canadian Political Science Association

Political culture in Nunavut has long been characterized by different approaches to political life: traditional Inuit attitudes toward governance, federal aspirations for the political integration of Inuit, and territorial strategies for institutional development. Ailsa Henderson links these features to contemporary political attitudes and behaviour, concluding that a distinctive political culture is emerging in Nunavut. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork and quantitative analysis, this book provides the first systematic, empirical study of political life in Nunavut, offering comprehensive analysis of the evolving nature of aboriginal self-government in the Arctic and shedding crucial light on Inuit–non-Inuit relations.

Hunters and bureaucratsPower, Knowledge, and Aboriginal-State Relations in the Southwest Yukonpaul nadasdy

Winner, 2004 Julian steward prize, American Anthropological Association

This book challenges the conventional wisdom that land claims and co-management – two of the most visible and celebrated elements of the restructuring of the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state – will help reverse centuries of inequity. Based on three years of ethnographic research in the Yukon, this book examines the complex relationship between the people of Kluane First Nation, the land and animals, and the state. This book moves beyond conventional models of colonialism, in which the state is treated as a monolithic entity, and instead explores how “state power” is reproduced through everyday bureaucratic practices – including struggles over the production and use of knowledge.

In this pioneering book, Bonita Lawrence draws on the first-person accounts of thirty Toronto residents of Aboriginal descent, as well as archival materials, sociological research, and her own urban Native heritage and experiences, to shed light on the Canadian government’s efforts to define Native identity through the years. She describes the devastating loss of community that has resulted and how urban Native people have wrestled with their past and current identities. Lawrence also explores the forms of nation-building that can reconcile the differences in experiences and distinct agendas of urban and reserve-based Native communities.

Navigating Neoliberalism argues that neoliberalism, which drives government policy concerning First Nations in Canada, can also drive self-determination. And in a globalizing world, new opportunities for indigenous governance may transform socioeconomic well-being. Gabrielle Slowey studies the development of First Nations governance in health, education, economic development, and housing. Contrary to the popular belief that First Nations suffer in an age of state retrenchment, privatization, and decentralization, Slowey finds that the Mikisew First Nation has successfully exploited opportunities for greater autonomy and well-being that the current political and economic climate has presented.

one of the familyMetis Culture in Nineteenth–Century Northwestern Saskatchewanbrenda macdougall

The central concept that underlies this important new book is wahkootowin, “a worldview linking land, family, and identity in one interconnected web of being.” This original and richly researched work follows four generations of widely connected Metis families in the Île à la Crosse region, illuminating their lives and histories as concrete expressions of this powerful organizing principle learned from their Aboriginal mothers and grandmothers.– Jennifer S.H. Brown, FRSC, professor of

history and director, Centre for Rupert’s Land Studies, University of Winnipeg

In this groundbreaking study, Brenda Macdougall employs the concept of wahkootowin – the Cree term for a worldview that privileges family and values interconnectedness – to trace the emergence of a Metis community in northern Saskatchewan. Wahkootowin describes how relationships worked and helps to explain how the Metis negotiated with local economic and religious institutions while nurturing a society that emphasized family obligation and responsibility. This innovative exploration of the birth of Metis identity offers a model for future research and discussion.

gathering placesAboriginal and Fur Trade Historiesedited by carolyn podruchny and laura peers

British traders and Ojibwe hunters. Cree women and their metis daughters. These people and their complex identities were not featured in history writing until the 1970s, when scholars from multiple disciplines began to bring new perspectives to bear on the past. Gathering Places presents some of the most innovative approaches to metis, fur trade, and First Nations history being practised today. By drawing on archaeological, material, oral, and ethnographic evidence and exploring personal approaches to history and scholarship, the authors depart from the old paradigm of history writing and offer new models for recovering Aboriginal and cross-cultural experiences and perspectives.

fort chipewyan and the shaping of canadian History, 1788–1920sWe like to be free in this countrypatricia a. mccormack

The story of the expansion of civilization into the wilderness continues to shape perceptions of how Aboriginal people became part of nations such as Canada. Patricia McCormack subverts this narrative of modernity by examining nation building from the perspective of a northern community and its residents. Fort Chipewyan, she argues, was never an isolated Aboriginal community but a plural society at the crossroads of global, national, and local forces. By tracing the events that led its Aboriginal residents to sign Treaty 8, and their struggle to maintain autonomy thereafter, this groundbreaking study shows that Aboriginal peoples and others can and have become modern without relinquishing cherished beliefs and practices.

Taking medicineWomen’s Healing Work and Colonial Contact in Southern Alberta, 1880–1930kristin burnett

Hunters, medicine men, and missionaries continue to dominate images and narratives of the West, even though historians have recognized women’s role as colonizer and colonized since the 1980s. Kristin Burnett helps to correct this imbalance by presenting colonial medicine as a gendered phenomenon. Although the imperial eye focused on medicine men, Aboriginal women in the Treaty 7 region served as healers and caregivers – to their own people and to settler society – until the advent of settler-run hospitals and nursing stations. By revealing Aboriginal and settler women’s contributions to health care, Taking Medicine challenges traditional understandings of colonial medicine in the contact zone.

contact zonesAboriginal and Settler Women in Canada’s Colonial Pastedited by myra rutherdale and katie pickles

Winner of the 2006 best article on the History of sexuality in canada, CCHS, Canadian History Association

As both colonizer and colonized (sometimes even simultaneously), women were uniquely positioned at the axis of the colonial encounter – the so-called “contact zone” – between Aboriginals and newcomers. Aboriginal women shaped identities for themselves in both worlds. By recognizing the necessity to “perform,” they enchanted and educated white audiences across Canada. On the other side of the coin, newcomers imposed increasing regulation on Aboriginal women’s bodies. Contact Zones provides insight into the ubiquity and persistence of colonial discourse. What bodies belonged inside the nation, who were outsiders, and who transgressed the rules – these are the questions at the heart of this provocative book.

Honourable Mention, 2005 british columbia Historical federation book prize

Honourable Mention, 2004 lieutenant-governor’s medal for Historical writing, BC Historical Federation

The first-ever biography written about a woman of the Northwest Coast’s Kwakwakawakw people, Paddling to Where I Stand presents the memoirs of Agnes Alfred (c.1890-1992), a non-literate noble Qwiqwasutinuxw woman of the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation and one of the last great storytellers among her peers in the classic oral tradition. Agnes Alfred documents, through myths, historical accounts, and personal reminiscences, the foundations and the enduring pulse of her living culture. But this is more than another anthropological interpretation; it is the first-hand account of the greatest period of change the Kwakwaka’wakw people experienced since first contact with Europeans, and Alfred’s memoirs flow from her urgent desire to pass on her knowledge to younger generations.

marTine J. reid (editor) is an independent scholar whose interests are in the field of Northwest Coast cultural and aesthetic anthropology. daisy sewid-smiTH (translator) is Agnes Alfred’s granddaughter, a cultural historian, and a Kwakwaka'wakw language instructor in the Faculty of Education at the University of Victoria.

new Histories for oldChanging Perspectives on Canada’s Native Pastsedited by Theodore binnema and susan neylan

Scholarly depictions of the history of Aboriginal people in Canada have changed dramatically since the 1970s when Arthur J. (“Skip”) Ray entered the field. New Histories for Old examines this transformation while extending the scholarship on Canada’s Aboriginal history in new directions. This collection combines essays by prominent senior historians, geographers, and anthropologists with contributions by new voices in these fields. The chapters reflect themes including Native struggles for land and resources under colonialism, the fur trade, “Indian” policy and treaties, mobility and migration, disease and well-being, and Native-newcomer relations.

The red man’s on the warpathThe Image of the “Indian” and the Second World Warr. scott sheffield

During the Second World War, thousands of First Nations people joined in the national crusade to defend freedom and democracy. High rates of Native enlistment and public demonstrations of patriotism encouraged Canadians to re-examine the roles and status of Native people in Canadian society. The Red Man’s on the Warpath explores how wartime symbolism and imagery propelled the “Indian problem” onto the national agenda, and why assimilation remained the goal of post-war Canadian Indian policy – even though the war required that it be rationalized in new ways.

writing british columbia History, 1784–1958

chad reimer

This sweeping exploration of history writing in British Columbia shows how historians helped to construct Canada’s settler society. This highly readable book has reshaped the way I think about BC history. Reimer follows five generations of BC historians as they tried to make the province “home" by creating a past that celebrated and justified a “White Man’s Province" dominated by an Anglo elite ... Historians, as Reimer eloquently shows, played an essential role in the colonization of British Columbia and the maintenance of minority rule by a capitalist, Anglo, male elite through the late 20th century. This book is essential for anyone interested in the creation of a past for British Columbia.– John Sutton Lutz, author of Makúk: A New

History of Aboriginal-White Relations

Captain James Cook first made contact with the area now known as British Columbia in 1778. The colonists who followed soon realized they needed a written history, both to justify their dispossession of Aboriginal peoples and to formulate an identity for a new settler society. Writing British Columbia History traces how Euro-Canadian historians took up this task, and struggled with the newness of colonial society and overlapping ties to the British Empire, the United States, and Canada. This exploration of the role of history writing in colonialism and nation building will appeal to anyone interested in the history of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and history writing in Canada.

urbanizing frontiersIndigenous Peoples and Settlers in 19th-Century Pacific Rim Citiespenelope edmonds

This book makes an original and highly important contribution to the specific historiographies of Canada and Australia, as well as to the broader literatures on colonialism, urban development, and race ... Transnational comparative analysis is an increasingly important approach to understanding the past, especially in the study of colonialism and settler-indigenous relations, and to my knowledge no other study with this scope and theoretical bent has been published.– Lisa-Anne Chilton, Department of History,

University of Prince Edward Island

This book explores the lives of Indigenous peoples and settlers in two Pacific Rim cities – Victoria, British Columbia, and Melbourne, Australia. Built on Indigenous lands and overtaken by gold rushes, these cities emerged between 1835 and 1871 in significantly different locations, yet both became cross-cultural and segregated sites of empire. This innovative study traces how these spaces, and the bodies in them, were transformed, sometimes in violent ways, creating new spaces and new polities.

colonial proximitiesCrossracial Encounters and Juridical Truths in British Columbia, 1871–1921renisa mawani

This book offers fascinating new perspectives on the roots of Canadian racism. Moving beyond traditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani probes the unsettled landscape of crossracial encounters between “Indians" and “Chinese" in British Columbia history. She deftly captures the frenzied anxieties that whites harboured over ungovernable mixed-race activities, and brilliantly dissects the renewed state racisms that were born of such encounters.– Constance Backhouse, Distinguished University

Professor and University Research Chair, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa

Encounters among Aboriginal peoples, European colonists, Chinese migrants, and mixed-race populations generated a range of racial anxieties that underwrote colonialism in BC. By focusing on these points of contact, this book forges critical links between histories of migration and dispossession. The book highlights the legal and spatial strategies of rule mobilized by Indian agents, missionaries, and legal authorities who sought to restrict crossracial encounters. Mawani illustrates how interracial proximities in one colonial contact zone inspired the production of juridical racial truths and modes of governance that continue to linger in the racial politics of contemporary settler societies.

becoming british columbiaA Population HistoryJohn belshaw

Becoming British Columbia is the first comprehensive, demographic history of this province. Investigating critical moments in the demographic record and linking demographic patterns to larger social and political questions, it shows how biology, politics, and history conspired with sex, death, and migration to create a particular kind of society. John Belshaw overturns the widespread tendency to associate population growth with progress by examining how the province’s Aboriginal population of as much as half a million was reduced by disease to fewer than 30,000 people in less than a century. He reveals that the province has a long tradition of thinking and acting vigorously in ways meant to control and shape biological communities of humans, and suggests that imperialism, race, class, and gender have historically situated population issues at the centre of public consciousness in British Columbia.

John Lutz traces Aboriginal people’s involvement in the new economy, and their displacement from it, from the arrival of the first Europeans to the 1970s. Drawing on an extensive array of oral histories, manuscripts, newspaper accounts, biographies, and statistical analysis, Lutz shows that Aboriginal people flocked to the workforce and prospered in the late nineteenth century. He argues that the roots of today’s widespread unemployment and “welfare dependency” date only from the 1950s, when deliberate and inadvertent policy choices – what Lutz terms the “white problem” drove Aboriginal people out of the capitalist, wage, and subsistence economies, offering them welfare as “compensation.”

be of good mindEssays on the Coast Salishedited by bruce granville miller

In this book, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, linguists, and Aboriginal leaders focus on how Coast Salish lives and identities have been influenced by two colonizing nations – Canada and the US – and by shifting Aboriginal circumstances. Contributors point to the continual reshaping of Coast Salish identities and our understandings of them through litigation and language revitalization, as well as community efforts to reclaim their connections with the environment. They point to significant continuity of networks of kinfolk, spiritual practices, and understandings of landscape. This is the first book-length effort to directly incorporate Aboriginal perspectives and a broad interdisciplinary approach to research about the Coast Salish.

TsawalkA Nuu-chah-nulth Worldviewe. richard atleo (umeek)

In Tsawalk, hereditary chief Umeek develops a theory of “Tsawalk,” meaning “one,” that views the nature of existence as an integrated and orderly whole, and thereby recognizes the intrinsic relationship between the physical and spiritual. Umeek demonstrates how Tsawalk provides a viable theoretical alternative that both complements and expands the view of reality presented by Western science. Tsawalk, he argues, allows both Western and indigenous views to be combined in order to advance our understanding of the universe. In addition, he shows how various fundamental aspects of Nuu-chah-nulth society are based upon Tsawalk, and what implications it has today for both Native and non-Native peoples.

e. ricHard aTleo, whose Nuu-chah-nulth name is umeek, is a hereditary chief. He served as co-chair of the internationally recognized Scientific Panel for Sustainable Forest Practices in Clayoquot Sound and teaches in the First Nations Studies Department at Malaspina University College.

between consenting peoplesPolitical Community and the Meaning of Consentedited by Jeremy webber and colin m. macleod

by examining how consent serves as the foundation for political community, especially in relations between indigenous and nonindigenous peoples, this book seeks to draw perspectives from indigenous relations into the heart of political theory.

Consent has long been used to establish the legitimacy of society. But when one asks – who consented? how? to what type of community? – consent becomes very elusive, more myth than reality. In Between Consenting Peoples, leading scholars of legal and political theory examine the different ways in which consent has been used to justify political communities and the authority of law, especially in indigenous-nonindigenous relations. They explore the kind of consent – the kind of attachment – that might ground political community and establish a fair relationship between indigenous and nonindigenous peoples.

Although Indigenous peoples had their own systems of law based on their social, political, and spiritual traditions, under colonialism their legal systems have often been ignored or overruled by non-Indigenous laws. Today, however, these legal traditions are being reinvigorated and recognized as vital for the preservation of the political autonomy of Aboriginal nations and the development of healthy communities.

let right be doneAboriginal Title, the Calder Case, and the Future of Indigenous Rightsedited by Hamar foster, Jeremy webber, and Heather raven

In 1973 the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark decision in the Calder case, confirming that Aboriginal title constituted a right within Canadian law. Let Right Be Done examines the doctrine of Aboriginal title thirty years later and puts the Calder case in its legal, historical, and political context, both nationally and internationally. With its innovative blend of scholarly analysis and input from many of those intimately involved in the case, this book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Aboriginal law, treaty negotiations, and the history of the “BC Indian land question.”

lament for a first nationThe Williams Treaties of Southern Ontariopeggy J. blair

In a 1994 decision known as Howard, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Aboriginal signatories to the 1923 Williams Treaties had knowingly given up not only their title to off-reserve lands but also their treaty rights to hunt and fish for food. No other First Nations in Canada have ever been found to have willingly surrendered similar rights. Blair argues that the Canadian courts caused a serious injustice by applying erroneous cultural assumptions in their interpretation of the evidence. In particular, they confused provincial government policy, which has historically favoured public over special rights, with the understanding of the parties at the time.

peggy J. blair is one of Canada’s leading lawyers in the field of Aboriginal law.

landing native fisheriesIndian Reserves and Fishing Rights in British Columbia, 1849–1925douglas c. Harris

Honourable Mention, 2009 lieutenant-governor’s medal for Historical writing, BC Historical Federation

Landing Native Fisheries reveals the contradictions and consequences of an Indian land policy premised on access to fish, on one hand, and a program of fisheries management intended to open the resource to newcomers, on the other. Beginning with the first treaties signed on Vancouver Island between 1850 and 1854, Douglas Harris maps the connections between the colonial land policy and the law governing the fisheries. In so doing, Harris rewrites the history of colonial dispossession in British Columbia, offering a new and nuanced examination of the role of law in the consolidation of power within the colonial state.

protection of first nations cultural HeritageLaws, Policy, and Reformedited by catherine bell and robert k. paterson

Indigenous peoples around the world are seeking greater control over tangible and intangible cultural heritage. In Canada, issues concerning repatriation and trade of material culture, heritage site protection, treatment of ancestral remains, and control over intangible heritage are governed by a complex legal and policy environment. This volume looks at the key features of Canadian, US, and international law influencing indigenous cultural heritage in Canada. Legal and extralegal avenues for reform are examined and opportunities and limits of existing frameworks are discussed. Is a radical shift in legal and political relations necessary for First Nations concerns to be meaningfully addressed?

between Justice and certaintyTreaty Making in British Columbiaandrew woolford

Since the BC treaty process was established in 1992, two discourses have become prominent within the treaty negotiations. The first, a discourse of justice, asks how we can remedy the past injustices imposed on BC First Nations. The second, a discourse of certainty, asks whether historical repair can occur in a manner that provides a better future for all British Columbians. Andrew Woolford examines the interplay between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal visions of justice and certainty to determine whether there is a space between the two concepts in which modern treaties can be made. He suggests that greater attention to justice is necessary if we are to initiate a process of reconciliation.

braiding HistoriesLearning from Aboriginal Peoples’ Experiences and Perspectivessusan d. dion

This book proposes a new pedagogy for addressing Aboriginal subject material, shifting the focus from an essentializing or “othering” exploration of the attributes of Aboriginal peoples to a focus on historical experiences that inform our understanding of contemporary relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples. Reflecting on the process of writing a series of stories, Dion takes up questions of (re)presenting the lived experiences of Aboriginal people in the service of pedagogy. Investigating what happened when the stories were taken up in history classrooms, she illustrates how our investments in particular identities structure how we hear and what we are “willing to know."

inuit education and schools in the eastern arcticHeather e. mcgregor

This book is very important to the field of Inuit education. In April 2008 Inuit Tapiritsat Kanatmi, the pan-Canadian Inuit political organization, called a national summit to address the failure of current schooling to meet the academic, social, and cultural needs of Inuit students in formal schooling in the four Inuit regions of Canada. This book clearly shows that when schools create different power relationships with Inuit families and communities, positive results can be seen.– Joanne Tompkins, author of Teaching in a Cold

and Windy Place: Change in an Inuit School

Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between Inuit and newcomers in the Eastern Arctic has led to profound changes in education, including the experience of colonization and progress toward the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. Heather McGregor assesses these trends over four periods – the traditional, the colonial (1945–70), the territorial (1971–81), and the local (1982–99). She concludes that education is most successful when Inuit involvement and local control support a system reflecting Inuit culture and visions.

This book challenges and offers an alternative to the imposition of best practices on communities by outside specialists. It tells of an unexpected partnership initiated by an Aboriginal tribal council with the University of Victoria’s School of Child and Youth Care. The partnership produced a new approach to professional education, in which community leaders are co-constructors of the curriculum. Word of this “generative curriculum” has spread, and now more than sixty communities have participated in the First Nations Partnerships Program. The authors show how this innovative program has strengthened community capacity to design, deliver, and evaluate culturally appropriate programs to support young children’s development.

Jo-ann Archibald worked closely with Coast Salish Elders and storytellers, who shared both traditional and personal life-experience stories, in order to develop ways of bringing storytelling into educational contexts. Indigenous Storywork is the result of this research and it demonstrates how stories have the power to educate and heal the heart, mind, body, and spirit. It builds on the seven principles of respect, responsibility, reciprocity, reverence, holism, interrelatedness, and synergy that form a framework for understanding the characteristics of stories, appreciating the process of storytelling, establishing a receptive learning context, and engaging in holistic meaning-making.

Healing TraditionsThe Mental Health of Aboriginal Peoples in Canadaedited by laurence J. kirmayer and gail guthrie valaskakis

Aboriginal peoples in Canada have diverse cultures but share common social and political challenges that have contributed to their experiences of health and illness. This collection addresses the origins of mental health and social problems and the emergence of culturally responsive approaches to services and health promotion. Healing Traditions is not a handbook of practice but a resource for thinking critically about current issues in the mental health of indigenous peoples.

protecting aboriginal childrenchris walmsley

Since the 1980s, bands and tribal councils have developed unique community-based child welfare services to better protect Aboriginal children. Protecting Aboriginal Children explores contemporary approaches to the protection of Aboriginal children through interviews with practising social workers employed at Aboriginal child welfare organizations and the child protection service in British Columbia. It places current practice in a sociohistorical context, describes emerging practice in decolonizing communities, and identifies the effects of political and media controversy on social workers. This is the first book to document emerging practice in Aboriginal communities and describe child protection practice simultaneously from the points of view of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal social workers.

Deeply researched and eloquently written, Settlers on the Edge shines light onto hitherto unexplored territory in the literature of the Arctic, namely the tortured birth and mercurial fortunes of Russia’s large arctic settler population. Thompson reveals how the orphan children of a grand Soviet project to “civilize” the North wrought from their post-Soviet misfortunes a new sense of themselves. The picture that emerges – of a people of the arctic landscape – makes an important and long-overdue contribution to our understanding of who belongs in the North.– Farley Mowat

kiumajut (Talking back)Game Management and Inuit Rights, 1950–70peter kulchyski and frank James Tester

Kiumajut examines Inuit relations with the Canadian state, with a particular focus on two interrelated issues. The first is how a deeply flawed set of scientific practices for counting animal populations led policymakers to develop policies and laws intended to curtail the activities of Inuit hunters. Animal management informed by this knowledge became a justification for attempts to educate and, ultimately, to regulate Inuit hunters. The second issue is Inuit responses to the emerging regime of government intervention. The authors look closely at resulting court cases and rulings, as well as Inuit petitions. The activities of the first Inuit community council are also examined in exploring how Inuit began to “talk back” to the Canadian state.

inuit folk-Talescollected by knud rasmussen Translated by w. worster

Native languages and ways of living, including the arts of sea kayaking and dog sledding, fascinated Knud Rasmussen, himself of Inuit and Danish descent. Rasmussen devoted much of his life to ethnological and cultural studies throughout Arctic North America. Establishing a base station in Thule, Greenland in 1910, he visited as many Inuit peoples as he could, took meticulous notes and made sketches, and compiled hundreds of Native legends and songs. The tales are grounded in the Inuit belief system, itself defined by superstition and transformation. Thanks to his own mixed heritage, Rasmussen understood Inuit stories at a deeper level than did most observers, and documented many priceless legends that the West might have otherwise not have noticed.

knud JoHan vicTor rasmussen (1879–1933) was a Greenlandic polar explorer and anthropologist. He has been called the “father of Eskimology” and was the first to cross the Northwest Passage via dog sled.

Art Quantum presents a selection of the extraordinary work created by the five artists selected for the 2009 Eiteljorg Fellowship.

The Tsimshian people of coastal British Columbia use a system of hereditary name-titles in which names are treated as objects of inheritable wealth. Becoming Tsimshian examines the way in which names link members of a lineage to a past and to the places where that past unfolded. In investigating the different dimensions of the Tsimshian naming system, Christopher F. Roth draws extensively on recent literature, archival reference, and elders in Tsimshian communities. Becoming Tsimshian covers important themes in linguistic and cultural anthropology and ethnic studies.

The power of promisesRethinking Indian Treaties in the Pacific Northwestedited by alexandra Harmon

In The Power of Promises, a distinguished group of scholars, representing many disciplines, discuss the legacy of treaties with Native American groups in the Pacific Northwest, which have had profound implications for land ownership, resource access, and political rights. Treaties have been employed hundreds of times to define relations between indigenous and colonial societies, many such pacts have continuing legal force, and many have been the focus of recent, high-stakes legal contests. This book shows that treaties have implications for important aspects of human history and contemporary existence, including struggles for political and cultural power, law’s effect on people’s self-conceptions, the functions of stories about the past, and the process of defining national and ethnic identities.

indigenous peoples and globalizationResistance and RevitalizationThomas d. Hall and James v. fenelon foreword by duane champagne

The issues native peoples face intensify with globalization. Through case studies from around the world, Hall and Fenelon demonstrate how indigenous peoples’ movements can be understood only by linking highly localized processes with larger global and historical forces. The authors show that indigenous peoples have been resisting and adapting to encounters with states for millennia. Unlike other antiglobalization activists, indigenous peoples primarily seek autonomy and the right to determine their own processes of adaptation and change, especially in relationship to their origin lands and community. The authors link their analyses to current understandings of the evolution of globalization.

Native American Performance and Representation provides a comprehensive study of Native performance, a multifaceted and changing art form as well as a swiftly growing field of research. Notable researchers and performers use multiple perspectives, such as feminism, literary and film theory, and postcolonial discourse, to look at the varying nature of Native performance strategies, They consider such issues as the effects of miscegenation on traditional customs, Native women’s position in a multicultural society, and the relationship between authenticity and hybridity in Native performance. An important addition to Native performance studies, Wilmer’s book cuts across disciplines and areas of study in a way no other book in the field does.

mining, the environment, and indigenous development conflictssaleem H. ali

This book gets to the heart of mining resource conflicts and environmental impact assessment by asking why indigenous communities support mining development on their lands in some cases but not in others. The author challenges conventional theories of conflict based on economics and environmental concerns, proposing that the underlying issue is sovereignty. Activist and environmental groups, he observes, fail to understand such tribal concerns and often have problems working with tribes on issues where they presume a common environmental interest. This book goes beyond popular perceptions of environmentalism to examine how and when the concerns of industry, society, and tribal governments converge or conflict.

landscapes and social Transformations on the northwest coastColonial Encounters in the Fraser ValleyJeff oliver

The Fraser Valley in British Columbia has been viewed historically as a typical setting of Indigenous-white interaction. Jeff Oliver now reexamines the social history of this region from pre-contact to the violent upheavals of nineteenth- and early- twentieth-century colonialism to argue that the dominant discourses of progress and colonialism often mask the real social and physical process of change that occurred here. He demonstrates how social change and cultural understanding are tied to the way that people use and remake the landscape. Drawing on ethnographic texts, archaeological evidence, cartography, and historical writing, he has created a deep history of the valley that enables us to view how human entanglements with landscape were creative of a variety of contentious issues. It offers a new lens for viewing a region as it provides fresh insight into such topics as landscape change, perceptions of place, and Indigenous-white relations.

across a great divideContinuity and Change in Native American Societies, 1400–1900laura scheiber and mark d. mitchell

If archaeologists are to bridge the artificial divide separating history from prehistory, they must overturn a whole range of colonial ideas about native Americans and their history. Using data from a wide variety of geographical, temporal, and cultural settings, this book examines economic, social, and political stability and transformation in indigenous societies before and after the advent of Europeans. With case studies ranging from sixteenth-century Florida to nineteenth-century coastal Alaska, Across a Great Divide shows that empirical archaeological research can help replace long-standing models of indigenous culture change rooted in colonialist narratives – and play a major role in decolonizing knowledge about native peoples.

Trail of Story, Traveller’s Path examines the meaning of landscape, drawn from Leslie Main Johnson’s rich experience with diverse environments and peoples, including the Gitksan and Witsuwit’en of northwestern British Columbia, the Kaska Dene of the southern Yukon, and the Gwich’in of the Mackenzie Delta. With passion and conviction, Johnson maintains that our response to our environment shapes our culture, determines our lifestyle, defines our identity, and sets the tone for our relationships and economies. She documents the landscape and contrasts the ecological relationships with land of First Nations peoples to those of non-indigenous scientists. The result is an absorbing study of local knowledge of place and a broad exploration of the meaning of landscape.

liberalism, surveillance, and resistanceIndigenous communities in Western Canada, 1877–1927keith d. smith

Canada is regularly presented as a country where liberalism has ensured freedom and equality for all. Yet with the expansion of settlers into the First Nations territories that became southern Alberta and British Columbia, liberalism proved to be an exclusionary rather than inclusionary force. Between 1877 and 1927, government officials, police officers, church representatives, ordinary settlers, and many others operated to exclude and reform Indigenous people. Presenting Anglo-Canadian liberal capitalist values and structures and interests as normal, natural, and beyond reproach devalued virtually every aspect of Indigenous cultures. This book explores the means used to facilitate and justify colonization, their effects on Indigenous economic, political, social, and spiritual lives, and how they were resisted.

The Beaver Hills arose where mountain glaciers from the west met continental ice-sheets from the east. An overview of the hills’ physiography helps us to grasp the complexity and diversity of landscapes, soil types, and vegetation communities. Ecological themes, such as climatic cycles, ground water availability, vegetation succession and the response of wildlife, and the impact of fires, shape the possibilities and provide the challenges to those who have called the region home or used its varied resources: Aboriginal peoples, Métis, and European immigrants.

Since 1923, archetypal “Cowboys and Indians” are seen again at the chuckwagon races, on the midway, and throughout Calgary. Each essay in this collection examines a facet of the experience — from the images on advertising posters to the ritual of the annual parade. This study of the Calgary Stampede as a social phenomenon reveals the history and sociology of the city of Calgary and the social construction of identity for western Canada as a whole.
