Este mosaico de experiências e percepções, legou à informações referentes à localização, dinâmicas cotidianas e descrições acerca da fisionomia e personalidade de grupos nativos. Face a essas colocações, o marcante nestas narrativas se deve ao fato de desvelarem as estratégias utilizadas por seus interlocutores a fim de criar laços de sociabilidade e, por assim dizer, alcançar o sucesso nos seus intentos particulares e vinculados à sociedade indigenista. Deste modo, John Henry Elliott, Joaquim Francisco Lopes e José Joaquim Machado de Oliveira, a partir de seus vínculos com o barão de Antonina, embrenharam-se pelos sertões meridionais a fim de mapear, descrever e catalogar dados referentes às rotas terrestres e fluviais que ligavam Curitiba ao Baixo Paraguai e, no decorrer deste processo, observar as formas, as cores, as gentes que coloriam as paisagens de seus (des)caminhos. Dialogando com os interesses e estratégias indigenistas, as representações delineadas por estes agentes revelam que a aproximação com os grupos nativos foi fruto de práticas ligadas à persuasão e brandura, as quais utilizavam-se de elementos tradicionais para mediar as situações de fronteira e contato intercultural. Partindo destes pressupostos, os instrumentos de mediação cultural oportunizaram não só o encontro e trocas entre universos distintos, como também, uma ressignificação ao papel criado às nações indígenas que, resultado do contexto social e político do oitocentos, era pensado de formas múltiplas, oscilando suas figurações no cenário nacional. Logo, dentro deste caleidoscópio, o objeto central é analisar as referências realizadas às nações indígenas e, mais do que isso, demonstrar os mecanismos de mediação cultural adotados para desenvolver e alicerçar alianças. Além disso, por meio destas descrições, podem-se revelar os sertões meridionais enquanto um espaço de possíveis diálogos e não só permeado de tensões, perigos e conflitos, como era comum se apresentar. / Thinking about the ways of interpretation and representation of indian nations, this research intends to investigate some travel itineraries published in Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute Magazine, known as Southern Journeys. This collection of experiences and perceptions bequeathed data about the native group's localization, daily dynamics and descriptions referring to the physiognomy and personality. Therefore, it's remarkable in these narratives, the fact that they reveal the strategies used by their interlocutors to create social bonds and, so to speak, succeed in their personal attempts linked to the indigenous society. Thereby, John Henry Elliot, Joaquim Francisco Lopes e José Joaquim Machado de Oliveira, stem from their relationship with the Baron of Antonina, enter the southern backwoods in order to map, describe and catalog data regarding terrestrial and fluvial routes that connected Curitiba to the Lower Paraguay and, in the process, observe the shapes, the colors, the peoples that color those landscapes in their paths. Dialoguing indigenous interests and strategies, the representations outlined by these agents reveal that the approach with the native groups was a result of practices related to persuasion and mildness, witch, used traditional elements to mediate the boundary situations and intercultural contact. Stem from these suppositions, the instruments of cultural mediation enable not only the gathering and exchanges between different universes, as well as a resignification of the role given to the indigenous nations that, as a result of the social and political context in the 1800's was thought in multiple ways, oscillating its figurations in the national scenario. Hence, in this kaleidoscope, the main objective is to analyze the references made about the indian nations and, more than that, demonstrate the mechanisms of cultural mediation adopted to develop and support alliances. Moreover, through these descriptions, it's possible to reveal the southern backwoods as a space of potential dialogues and not only permeating tensions, dangers and conflicts, as it was commonly reported.

This thesis examines cross-cultural relationships between Indigenous and Settler women to challenge the dominant historiography that has overlooked women's lived experiences, and fill a gap in the literature concerning Indigenous – Settler relations. Conceptualizing the history of Indigenous – Settler relations as microhistories, this thesis argues that an increase of in case studies that are focused on Indigenous women’s experiences, are useful to nuance how historians think about colonialism at a macro level. Using a diaological approach I have situated myself as a participant within the research project and was able to partake in oral history interviews with Stó:lō and Settler women throughout the lower mainland in British Columbia. Throughout my discussions, it became apparent that female cross-cultural relationships occurred at certain places. Thus, this project analyzes the nature of female cross-cultural relationships that developed because of the residential school system, community interactions and religion. Were Indigenous and Settler women able to form meaningful relationships at these sites? If so, did these relationships change over the course of the twentieth century? By focusing on Indigenous women's experiences at these sites of encounter, it will be demonstrated that Settler women's colonial mindsets did not always determine the nature of cross-cultural interactions. This project makes important contributions towards an understanding of why some cross-cultural relationships were more meaningful and reciprocal than others. An analysis of colonial discourse coupled with case studies based on oral interviews offers a complex study of how colonialism and the dominant culture were experienced by Indigenous women in British Columbia from 1960 to 2009.

RESUMÉ CONTINUING ETHNIC PROCESSES OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE RUSSIAN NORTH Legislation has an appreciable effect on the lives of the indigenous peoples and is becoming one of the fundamental components of their adaptation. Many of the innovative elements are realized on the basis of this legislation. The life strategies of the indigenous peoples in Yamalo- Nenets avtonomniy okrug is practically the same as the life strategies of the majority population. A notable exception are reindeer herders, but even amongst their children, we see a shift to the strategies of the majority society. These modes of adaptation have both ethnic and non-ethnic characters. Of those that are based on an ethnic basis, we can distinguish them by whether they are based on historical development or on legislative privilege. The privileges of a legislative base can be divided into individual (e.g. quota for free fishing) and collective rights (e.g. economic activity by communities). Both categories are actively used. Authorities of avtonomniy okrug actively encourage and support them using their rights. An increasing number of indigenous peoples are showing non-ethnic ways of adaptation, such as the non-ethnic elements used by the surrounding majority society. Children from mixed families, where one parent does not belong to...

English Summary This dissertation primarily aims to synoptically place the theme of audiovisual representations of indigenous cultures within the context of cultural studies. With its interdisciplinary overlapping, the cultural studies approach is well suited to understanding the complex significance of visual representations of culture, which are both cultural artefacts and cultural interpretations and have an impact that is as artistic as it is scientific and political. The first part of the work describes the manner in which native cultures are audio-visually represented, especially in ethnographic photographs and films which emerged in the North American and European context. The mapping of "exotic others" intensified with the first modern overseas discoveries, first by means of exhibitions of living natives, illustrations and figurines, later through photographs, films and videos. These representations were significantly influenced by the socio-cultural conditions in which they arose. As late as the turn of the 20th century, there was a dominating conviction about the capability of photographs to present an objective record of reality. This technology was therefore used as an instrument for recording and classifying physical and cultural differences. The widespread acceptance of the doctrine of...

I evaluate Will Kymlicka’s theory of multiculturalism in Multicultural Citizenship: A Liberal Theory of Minority Rights, and how it accounts for Indigenous nations in Canada. I ask whether any failures of multiculturalism can be attributed to either the normative or descriptive claims of his theory. I find points of failure in both claims, depending on the theme in question. Chapter 1 introduces the project and outlines subsequent chapters. Chapter 2 presents an account of Kymlicka’s multiculturalism (including why I chose Kymlicka’s framework as my focus) and the guiding questions of the thesis. Chapter 3 presents major legislation, policy, and jurisprudence in Canada concerning Indigenous nations and multiculturalism in practice. Chapter 4 examines four major claims or themes found in Chapter 2 against the material in Chapter 3: citizenship in Indigenous nations; the characterization of treaties; exercising group-differentiated rights, and; the Canadian state’s exercise of authority over Indigenous nations.
