Natasha Kanapé Fontaine : Une Parole de Réconciliation?Leclair, Flavie Maxence 21 December 2018 (has links)
Ce projet de recherche s’inscrit dans le débat autour du concept de réconciliation entre les peuples autochtones et allochtones au Canada. Terreau fertile depuis la publication du rapport de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation sur les pensionnats autochtones, les discussions sur le sujet dépassent le champ politique et prennent aussi racine dans la littérature. Plusieurs écrivains autochtones ont abordé ce sujet dans leurs œuvres littéraires. Natasha Kanapé Fontaine, connue notamment pour son engagement au sein du mouvement Idle No More, figure parmi les jeunes artistes autochtones qui ont exprimé leur opinion sur un nombre important d’enjeux dont celui de la réconciliation. Cette recherche étudie donc la vision de l’artiste multidisciplinaire innue de la réconciliation.
La contribution de cette thèse à l’avancement des connaissances se décline en deux volets. D’une part, le cadre analytique, construit à partir d’une revue de la littérature, rend compte de la complexité du concept de réconciliation au Canada. Il présente d’abord une déconstruction conceptuelle de la réconciliation d’où ressortent quatre composantes du concept – définition, intentions, processus et actions – et fait ensuite, la synthèse des positions des auteurs sur ces dernières. Cet exercice révèle les différents courants de la littérature sur la réconciliation ainsi que les tensions entre les différents usages du concept. D’autre part, ce projet contribue à faire avancer les débats sur la réconciliation en présentant la vision d’une jeune artiste innue. L’analyse méthodique des prises de parole publiques et des ouvrages poétiques de Natasha Kanapé Fontaine montre son positionnement théorique par rapport au concept de réconciliation ainsi que l’évolution de sa vision de celui-ci au fil du temps.
De cette analyse croisée entre le politique et le littéraire, il ressort que la réconciliation est un concept multidimensionnel complexe et polysémique. La multiplicité de sens accordé à la réconciliation par les différents acteurs peut nuire à l’avancement du projet commun qu’est le renouvellement des relations entre autochtones et allochtones au Canada. Pour dépasser la mécompréhension interculturelle, les acteurs devraient partager leur vision de la réconciliation et travailler ensemble sur les actions pour réaliser le projet de réconciliation.

Armed with an Eagle Feather Against the Parliamentary Mace: A Discussion of Discourse on Indigenous Sovereignty and Spirituality in a Settler Colonial Canada, 1990-2017Swain, Stacie A. January 2017 (has links)
Canada 150, or the sesquicentennial anniversary of Confederation, celebrates a nation-state that can be described as “settler colonial” in relation to Indigenous peoples. This thesis brings a Critical Religion and Critical Discourse Analysis methodology into conversation with Settler Colonial and Indigenous Studies to ask: how is Canadian settler colonial sovereignty enacted, and how do Indigenous peoples perform challenges to that sovereignty? The parliamentary mace and the eagle feather are conceptualized as emblematic and condensed metaphors, or metonyms, that assert and represent Canadian and Indigenous sovereignties. As a settler colonial sovereignty, established and naturalized partially through discourses on religion, Canadian sovereignty requires the displacement of Indigenous sovereignty. In events from 1990 to 2017, Indigenous people wielding eagle feathers disrupt Canadian governance and challenge the legitimacy of Canadian sovereignty. Indigenous sovereignty is (re)asserted as identity-based, oppositional, and spiritualized. Discourses on Indigenous sovereignty and spirituality provide categories and concepts through which Indigenous resistance occurs within Canada.

Harperova vláda, právo na sebeurčení původních obyvatel a Indiánský zákon z roku 1876 / The Harper Government, the Aboriginal Right to Self-Determination, and the Indian Act of 1876Onderková, Kristýna January 2015 (has links)
In its relatively unchanged form and effective for nearly 140 years the Indian Act of 1876 is the basic law governing the rights and responsibilities of First Nations and their status within Canada. The law protects the special status of Indigenous groups in Canadian society albeit it has been criticized as discriminatory. Voices calling for change of the legislation are growing stronger with the deepening socio-economic problems of Aboriginal peoples. First Nations primarily require the assertion of their constitutional right to self-determination in any future reform. In contrast, the current Conservative government of Stephen Harper emphasizes self- sufficiency and financial responsibility of Native peoples. Legislative actions that Conservatives rarely consult with representatives of the Indigenous peoples themselves correspond to the general priorities of the Harper Government based on the principles of market economy and do not reflect the demands for self-determination and self-government of Indigenous communities. The Idle No More protest movement founded in 2012 in reaction to some of Harper's laws pertaining to Aboriginal peoples fights for their rights and environmental protection inextricably linked with their identity. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze different perspectives on...

Indigenous media relations: reconfiguring the mainstreamHiltz, Tia 02 September 2014 (has links)
Much of the scholarly literature on Indigenous media relations frames Indigenous peoples as passive players in the mainstream media, and focuses on negative elements such as stereotypes. This thesis challenges this view, finding that Indigenous peoples in Canada actively and strategically engage with mainstream and social media as they forward their social and political agendas. This thesis provides an analysis of the counter-colonial narrative in Canada by offering a new perspective on Indigenous media relations, focusing as a case on the Idle No More movement. Emphasizing three dimensions of communication--the mainstream print media, social media, and individuals involved in Indigenous media relations--I examine the ways in which Indigenous agency and empowerment have the potential to change discourses in the media.
As sources of insight I draw on a discourse analysis of mainstream news media, a qualitative analysis of social media and on interviews with those who have significant experience in Indigenous media relations. Interviews with prominent media personalities and individuals involved in media relations (including CBC’s Duncan McCue and Janet Rogers; Four Host Nations CEO Tewanee Joseph, and others) illustrate the novel and impactful ways indigenous peoples in Canada are actively and strategically shaping the mainstream media. These representations create a more complex picture of Indigenous peoples as they counter the stereotyped or victimized media narratives within which Indigenous peoples have historically been placed. / Graduate / 0327 / 0708 / 0391 / tiahiltz@uvic.ca

“Accumulation by Dispossession” by the Global Extractive Industry: The Case of CanadaKinuthia, Wanyee 13 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis draws on David Harvey’s concept of “accumulation by dispossession” and an international political economy (IPE) approach centred on the institutional arrangements and power structures that privilege certain actors and values, in order to critique current capitalist practices of primitive accumulation by the global corporate extractive industry. The thesis examines how accumulation by dispossession by the global extractive industry is facilitated by the “free entry” or “free mining” principle. It does so by focusing on Canada as a leader in the global extractive industry and the spread of this country’s mining laws to other countries – in other words, the transnationalisation of norms in the global extractive industry – so as to maintain a consistent and familiar operating environment for Canadian extractive companies. The transnationalisation of norms is further promoted by key international institutions such as the World Bank, which is also the world’s largest development lender and also plays a key role in shaping the regulations that govern natural resource extraction. The thesis briefly investigates some Canadian examples of resource extraction projects, in order to demonstrate the weaknesses of Canadian mining laws, particularly the lack of protection of landowners’ rights under the free entry system and the subsequent need for “free, prior and informed consent” (FPIC). The thesis also considers some of the challenges to the adoption and implementation of the right to FPIC. These challenges include embedded institutional structures like the free entry mining system, international political economy (IPE) as shaped by international institutions and powerful corporations, as well as concerns regarding ‘local’ power structures or the legitimacy of representatives of communities affected by extractive projects. The thesis concludes that in order for Canada to be truly recognized as a leader in the global extractive industry, it must establish legal norms domestically to ensure that Canadian mining companies and residents can be held accountable when there is evidence of environmental and/or human rights violations associated with the activities of Canadian mining companies abroad. The thesis also concludes that Canada needs to address underlying structural issues such as the free entry mining system and implement FPIC, in order to curb “accumulation by dispossession” by the extractive industry, both domestically and abroad.
