While few people would say that Canada has done a good job of housing its poor citizens, this discussion goes beyond problems of housing the poor. In this dissertation I draw from government records to uncover how, between the 1930s and 1990s, the Indian Department created and oversaw a failed housing system on reserves across the country - one decision at a time. While housing is usually seen to be a result of poverty I argue that during this time the practices and policies of the Indian Department were active participants in making Indigenous people and First Nations communities poor. As a consequence of the persistent housing crisis on reserves in Canada Indigenous people suffered not only from living in substandard dwellings but also from the indignity and shame that comes from the association Canadians have made between the poor conditions of on-reserve housing and the personal characteristics of its occupants. What most people do not know is how it is that on-reserve housing remained in crisis for so long. On-reserve housing is something we have done not something we have studied. While federal government reports have charted the number of houses on reserves and their physical condition, no one has examined the history of government programs or how they were delivered until now. Recognizing that my study was not designed to recommend solutions, but believing that we cannot fix a problem until we know it, I am convinced that this dissertation provides the background information future academics will need to tell a different story about housing on reserves. And with a different story we will be better prepared to make fundamental changes needed to the way housing is delivered on reserves. / Graduate

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / nÃo hà / Esta tese propÃe uma descriÃÃo e anÃlise dos modos como quatro mulheres, pertencentes ao universo de 250 famÃlias, vivenciaram o evento crÃtico do incÃndio da Baixada PerpÃtuo Socorro, em MacapÃ-AP, em outubro de 2013. Este espaÃo social ocupado era considerado pelo poder pÃblico como oficialmente imprÃprio para moradia e Ãrea de preservaÃÃo ambiental. O evento crÃtico lhes trouxe dor, sofrimento social, humilhaÃÃo e um novo lar distante de seu cotidiano e de suas vontades e escolhas pessoais. Este trabalho tem como problematizaÃÃo a questÃo do lugar de pessoa e das suas subjetividades e pretende discutir como estas quatro mulheres relatam este perÃodo de transitoriedade, a partir da perda de suas casas, de sua dignidade, e de como reconfiguraram o seu cotidiano no novo lugar de morada, o conjunto habitacional Mestre Oscar Santos. O trabalho detÃm-se nas maneiras como estas mulheres reconfiguram pertencimentos, prÃticas cotidianas atravÃs de resistÃncias, tÃticas e micro-relaÃÃes nos novos espaÃos de trÃnsito destas famÃlias. Inclusive em moradias provisÃrias atà chegar à casa prÃpria concedida pelo Estado, distante de toda sua histÃria e agenciamentos de desejo. As noÃÃes etnogrÃficas que embasam esta reflexÃo sÃo de prÃticas cotidianas, tÃticas e resistÃncias, aportadas por sofrimentos sociais, praticadas nas categorias nativas de barraco, casa, baixada, conjunto habitacional e humilhaÃÃo. Os autores que inspiram esta discussÃo sÃo Veena Das, Michel Foucault e Michel De Certeau, entre outros. A problematizaÃÃo com mulheres se dà nos sentidos propostos por Marilyn Strathern, cujo trabalho com mulheres refere-se a categoria, nÃo no que diz respeito à identidade de gÃnero, e sim nas formas de usos de imagens do feminino e do masculino. O mÃtodo està sustentando por trabalho de campo etnogrÃfico e se apoia na ferramenta intelectual da etnobiografia, proposta por Marco Antonio GonÃalves, Roberto Marques e VÃnia Cardoso, entre outros, onde os sujeitos sÃo subjetivados e a realidade sociocultural à apreendida pela experiÃncia de pessoas personagens que constroem a sua narrativa como prÃtica de si. / This thesis offers a description and analysis of how four women experienced a major fire that occurred at Baixada do PerpÃtuo Socorro, an occupied neighborhood in MacapÃ, AmapÃ, in October 2013. These women are a part of the 250 families that witnessed the event. This social space was officially considered an environmental preservation area by the government and, therefore, unsuitable for housing. This critical event brought them pain, social suffering, humiliation and a new home far from their day-to-day routine that did not take into consideration their wishes and personal needs. This paper discusses how these four women describe this transient period starting with the loss of their homes, then their dignity, to how they had to reconfigure their everyday life in a new dwelling place, the government housing complex called Master Oscar Santos. The problematization in this work focus on the notion of person and subjective constructs in the social context of moving from home to another place; also in these womenâs notion of self as they readjusted their attachments and sense of belonging to a new environment by practicing their day to day routines utilizing resistances, tactics, and micro-relationships in their transitory social spaces until they received their own home granted by the State, which were located far away from the place where these women felt comfortable and capable of using their agency. The ethnographic concepts that support these considerations are the practice of everyday life, tactics and resistances. Such concepts serve as basis to social suffering using such native categories as shack, home, baixada (pile dwellings), government housing and humiliation. The authors who inspired this discussion are Veena Das, Michel Foucault and Michel De Certeau, among others. The problematization of women is performed using methods proposed by Marilyn Strathern, whose work with women deals with categories which are not based on gender identity but in the physical female and male form. The method is sustained by ethnographic fieldwork and relies on intellectual and ethnobiographic tools proposed by Marco Antonio GonÃalves, Roberto Marques and Vania Cardoso, among others, where the individuals are subjectified and the sociocultural reality is perceived by the experience of characters that construct their own narrative as they practice the notion of self.
