New relationships, old certainties : Australia's reconciliation and treaty-making in British ColombiaDe Costa, Ravindra Noel John, decosta@mcmaster.ca January 2002 (has links)
This thesis investigates the search for new relationships between indigenous and settler peoples in Australia and Canada. Both reconciliation and the treaty-making process in British Columbia are understood as attempts to build such relationships. Yetthese are policies that have arisen in response to the persistence of indigenous claims for recognition of rights and respect for identity. Consequently, I consider what the purpose of new relationships might be: is the creation of new relationships to be the means by which settlers recognise and respect indigenous rights and identities, or is
there some other goal? To answer this, I analyse the two policies as the opening of negotiations over indigenous claims for recognition. That is, the opening of new political spaces in which indigenous people�s voices and claims may be heard. Reconciliation opened a space to rethink Australian attitudes to history and culture, to renegotiate Australian identity. Treaties in British Columbia primarily seek to renegotiate ownership and control of lands and resources. Both policies attempt to relegitimise the polities in which they operate, by making new relationships that provide for mutual recognition. However, the thesis establishes that these new spaces are not nearly as expansive or inclusive as they are made out to be. They are in fact defined by the internal struggles of settler society to make life more certain: to resume identities that are secure and satisfying, and to restore territorial control and economic security. This takes place with little regard for the legitimate claims of indigenous peoples to be recognised as people and to enjoy dynamic, flourishing identities of their own. Building new relationships becomes the path to entrenching old certainties.

Ko taku rau kotahiMahuta, Dean P. S., n/a January 2005 (has links)
Raupatu (conquest of land) has been and still is a threat to the sovereignty and self-management of the Maori people. For the people of Waikato, raupatu has had such a significant impact that it has become a part of the people's identity. The New Zealand Land Wars of the 1860s signalled the beginning of the troubles for Waikato that would plague them for generations. Many Waikato people died for the land that had once nourished them, which was 'stolen' by the Crown and its colonial forces under the guise of 'confiscation' by way of the New Zealand Settlement Act 1863. This thesis examines raupatu in relation to the Waikato people, and the effects raupatu has had on them. This thesis also illustrates the connection between the Waikato people and whenua tupu (ancestral lands) through countless generations of people who committed their lives to the struggle to have their lands returned as proclaimed in the decree 'i haere whenua atu, me hoki whenua mai.' This decree is examined in relationship to the Deed of Settlement 1995 whereby the Crown addressed the grievances of the Waikato people and some hope was once again instilled within the people.

Imaging the Metlakatlas: shifting representations of a northwest coast mission communityPastor, Monica Leigh 05 1900 (has links)
Metlakatla, British Columbia, an 'isolated' missionary village, was
established in 1862 by William Duncan, an Anglican missionary, and a group of
Tsimshian on the Northern Northwest Coast. The village was widely praised for
its success in 'civilizing' its group of Northwest Coast Native people, but, by
1880, was plagued by turmoil between Duncan and Church and government
authorities. The turmoil in Metlakatla, B.C. led to an unprecedented move when,
in 1887, Duncan and the majority of the villagers relocated to Annette Island in
Southern Alaska. Along with this move to United States jurisdiction came shifts
in the construction and representation of the colonial project at Metlakatla.
Metlakatla, B.C., represented as a model village of equal and subordinate
workers, was full of internal fractures which could be viewed through
disjunctures among the various representations of the site. With the move to
Alaska, the representations of Metlakatla, once constructed in the vein of
homogeneous worker's housing promoted in England during the era of
Evangelical reform, shifted to present a middle class, American village which
participated in capitalism and leisure activities.
This thesis attempts to link the shifting representations of the colonial
project of Metlakatla to both local and broader political movements. The shifts
correspond to changing views toward the Indian and assimilation, shifts from a
Canadian/British terrain to an American one, changing notions of the worker
and emerging fears of communism, and shifts in the technology used to capture
photographic representations of the site. In addition to these broad trends, the
shifting constructions of the community of Metlakatla may have corresponded to
the navigation of a very specific Alaskan political terrain and to changing
dynamics within the community.
Thus, through an examination of the visual representations of Metlakatla,
B.C. and Metlakatla, Alaska, this thesis attempts to complicate the understanding
of this well known colonial project on the Northern Northwest Coast. In
addition, by relating these images to the broader political climate with which the
site was engaged, the paper shows fractures within the community and possible
explanations for the dramatic transition in the representation of Metlakatla in its
second setting in the United States.
