This thesis discusses the emergence of anti-Japanese resistance movements based on mission schools in Seoul and Pyongyang established by American Northern Presbyterian missionaries in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Korea. It examines how Korean elites from the schools, despite Japanese surveillance, took part in national independence activities by orchestrating diverse systematic anti-Japanese organizations at home and abroad. It is also explored how educational missionaries influenced the formation and development of Koreans’ national consciousness and anticolonial activism, thereby unveiling missionary attitudes toward Korean independence and the Japanese colonial regime. This thesis broadly explores three key issues. Firstly, this research demonstrates the subtle interplay between mission education and socio-political dimensions of Korea in the imperialist milieu of East Asia. This issue pays particular attention to hegemonic contest between American missionaries and Japanese colonialists over mission schools, emerged in the imperialist landscape of Western powers. This study traces how the unique but mutually incompatible projects of evangelization and colonization pursued by missionaries and colonialists respectively encountered in a site of mission education. It is also important to note the clash between American democratic ideas and Japanese values, each in their own way trying to civilize the Koreans. Secondly, this study illuminates the connection between Koreans’ expectation of mission education amidst foreign imperialist threats to Korea and their collective vision of making a sovereign nation. Especially, pro-Protestant Korean reformers attributed Korea’s inability to check the imperialist intrusion to Confucian civilization and sinocentrism deeply rooted in Korea. Therefore, under an epoch-making slogan of ‘civilization and enlightenment’, the reformers sought modern Western elements derived from mission education in order to protect Korea from imperialism and simultaneously to develop it into a strong ‘civilized’ nation. For them, mission schools were not simply religious institutions for evangelism, but incubators to produce national leaders for Korean independence and restoration of sovereignty by diffusing liberating knowledge and patriotic sentiment throughout Korea. Mission education thus had multiple objectives and roles in a particular historical condition of Korea. Lastly, this thesis considers the anticolonial discourse and praxis of mission-educated Koreans during Japan’s early colonial era of Korea. The modernizing vision of Korean reformers flowed into the curricula and contents of mission education, Korean students imbibing Western concepts such as democracy, equality, and freedom related to Korean nationalism. This intellectual interaction imbued the students with critical consciousness reflecting their colonial reality, leading them to form anti-Japanese organizations intended to subvert the colonial regime. The anticolonial activism of Korean students reinforced the tense interaction between missionaries and colonialists. The principle of political non-interventionism taken by the missionaries crumbled away when the students engaged in anti-Japanese movements, and the missionary involvement in colonial politics resulted in the colonialists’ policies to eliminate missionary power in mission education. Observing the advent of anticolonial activism in mission schools, this research elucidates the unintended missionary links with Korean resistance movements against Japanese colonialism and for Korean independence.

Indigenous autonomy, self-government and self-determination have historically been an area of conflict within the settler colonial state of Canada. This thesis aims to analyze critically the Canadian state’s alleged progressive nature in regard to nation-to-nation relations as well as the discourses that portray Canadian society as fostering Indigenous rights. Grounded in previous research and contextual background, this study uses the Discourse Historical Approach (DHA) to investigate how Canadian media produces and reproduces discourse around the issues connected with Indigenous resistance since the ‘Oka Crisis’ of 1990, based on the selected material published by The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The findings illustrate that while liberal-influenced narratives have improved, significant identification of decolonization within Canada’s media was not found and the structures of settler colonialism remain largely unchanged.

abstract: A disconnect exists between the perception of Indigenous women as non-leaders who lack legitimate power, and their persistent actions and beliefs that show an inherent ability to lead families, communities and cultures. Relevant literature on Indigenous women leadership has focused on displacement of women’s power and authority as a consequence of patriarchy and contextualizes the issue within deficit narratives of victimology. These accounts fail to celebrate the survivance of Indigenous women as inherent leaders charged with cultural continuance. Nonetheless, Indigenous women have persisted as leaders within advocacy, indicating a continuance of their inherent tendencies to lead their nations. “Matriarchs in the Making: Investigating the Transmission of Indigenous Resistance Through Indigenous Women’s Leadership in Activism” explores how Indigenous women demonstrate power and leadership via activism to transmit attitudes, actions, and beliefs about Indigenous resistance to Indigenous youth in the United States. A case study of Suzan Shown Harjo, a preeminent advocate for Indian rights will illustrate how Indigenous women engage in leadership within the realms of activism and advocacy. Key tenets of Indigenous feminist theory are used to deconstruct gender binaries that are present in modern tribal leadership and in social movements like the Red Power movement. Storytelling and testimony help to frame how Indigenous women activists like Harjo define and understand their roles as leaders, and how their beliefs about leadership have changed over time and movements. The study concludes with ways that Indigenous women use ancestral knowledge to envision healthy and sustainable futures for their nations. A process of “envisioning” provides guidance for future resistance via activism as guided by Indigenous women leaders. These visions will ultimately give scholars insight in how to best align their research within Indigenous feminist theory, Indigenous futurity, and women’s leadership and activism outside of academia. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis American Indian Studies 2020

L'appropriation culturelle possède une diffusion très large et est un phénomène essentiellement intemporel. L'appropriation culturelle est définie comme «the taking- from a culture that is not one’s own- of intellectual property, cultural expressions or artifacts, history and ways of knowledge» (Ziff et Rao 1997: 1). Cela comprend tous les aspects de la spiritualité, les objets sacrés, des valeurs, des histoires et des rites. L'appropriation est étroitement liée aux relations de pouvoir et à la politique. Avec la montée de la popularité du chamanisme et du néo-chamanisme dans la société occidentale, les peuples amérindiens de l'Amérique du Nord (ou d’Australie) expriment leurs inquiétudes et leur désapprobation en ce qui concerne l’appropriation de leurs cérémonies, rituels et croyances sacrées par les Occidentaux. Par le discours contre l'appropriation, les populations autochtones (re)gagnent et (re)créent une identité qui avait été négligée, supprimée et assimilée au cours de la colonisation. Cette création identitaire s’effectue par l'intermédiaire de l'écriture, dans les milieux universitaires, aussi non-académiques, et le partage des pratiques rituelles avec d'autres autochtones (pan amérindianisme). Les auteurs autochtones contestent le statu quo et désirent contribuer à faire avancer le débat concernant l'appropriation spirituelle, les relations de pouvoir et le néo-colonialisme. Les arguments et les opinions concernant l'appropriation spirituelle présentés ici traitent de génocide culturel, d’abus sexuels, de néo-colonialisme, de non-respect et d'inquiétude face aux dangers liés à une mauvaise utilisation des rituels et autres pratiques sacrées. Ce débat est lié au processus de guérison en contexte amérindien (Episkenew 2009). En participant à ce débat sur l'appropriation spirituelle, les peuples autochtones sont activement engagés dans la (re)définition de leur identité. C'est cet engagement actif qui permet à la guérison d’avoir lieu. Ce mémoire aborde quelques-uns des auteurs autochtones contemporains et examine leurs écrits. L'importance de l'histoire et du mot dans la création identitaire est explorée. L’analyse de certains textes portant sur la médecine, la sociologie, la religion et la culture de consommation rend explicite le lien entre identité et politique. / Cultural appropriation is a very wide spread and essentially timeless phenomenon. Cultural appropriation is defined as “the taking- from a culture that is not one’s own- of intellectual property, cultural expressions or artifacts, history and ways of knowledge” (Ziff and Rao 1997: 1). This includes all aspects of spirituality, sacred items, values, stories and rites. Appropriation is closely linked to power relations and politics. With the rise of popularity of shamanism and neo-shamanism in Western society, the Indigenous people of North America (and Australia) are voicing their concerns, disapproval and opinions with regards to Western people appropriating Native ceremonies, rituals and sacred beliefs. Through the discourse of countering appropriation the Indigenous, people are (re)gaining and (re)creating an identity which had been neglected, suppressed and assimilated during the course of colonization. It is through the medium of writing in the academic, as well as non-academic, and the sharing of practices with other Natives (Pan-Indianism) that an identity is created. Native authors are challenging the status quo and engage, contribute and advance the debate of spiritual appropriation, power relations and neo-colonialism. The arguments and opinions with regards to spiritual appropriation presented here range from cultural genocide, sexual abuse, neo-colonialism, and disrespect to concern of improper use that can be dangerous for the user/practitioner. By engaging in the debate Indigenous culture is engaging in the healing process (Episkenew 2009). By participating in the debate of spiritual appropriation the Indigenous people are actively engaging in (re)defining their identity. It is this active engagement that allows healing to take place. The thesis brings together some of the current, Native authors and examines their opinions. The importance of the story and the word as creating identities is explored. By using diverse literature, some texts focusing on medicine, sociology, religion and consumer culture the debate of spiritual appropriation and the link to identity and politics is made more explicit.

Este trabalho pretende discutir como as relações com a alteridade operam politicamente entre os Guarani Mbya; de que maneira os seus movimentos, como a esquiva, conformam modos políticos de conduzir a incorporação do exterior, transformando posições e relações de poder. Tomado primeiramente a partir da dança do xondaro, personagem que remete a diferentes funções e a uma forma de relação, o movimento da esquiva irá além para ajudar a pensar as dinâmicas entre corpos, coletivos e mundos, contribuindo para suspender oposições exclusivas entre resistência e fuga. A esquiva (jeavy uka fazer errar) surge como um movimento nem exclusivamente positivo, nem negativo. Em termos políticos: não submete e tampouco deixa se submeter. A análise aborda também a prática da enganação conforme ela aparece em narrativas mitológicas guarani, cuja operação revela um mecanismo de crítica política na mitologia. Ao final, após revisitarmos oprocesso histórico da resistência guarani, chegamos ao contexto contemporâneoda luta indígena pelas demarcações, na qual desdobram-se atualizações de figuras-chaves da política ameríndia, como o xamã e o guerreiro. Assim, seja no passadoou no presente, busco demonstrar como a esquiva guarani é um movimentocapaz de produzir, de forma concomitante, possibilidades de resistência opostas einterdependentes. / This work intends to discuss how the relations with the alterity operate politically among the Guarani Mbya; in which manners their movements, such as the dodge, conform political ways to conduct the incorporation of the exterior, transforming power positions and relations. Taking into account, primarily, the dance of the xondaro, a figure that alludes to different functions and to a form of relation, the movement of the dodge goes beyond to help reflect about the dynamics of bodies, collectives and worlds, contributing to a suspension of exclusive oppositions between resistance and escape. The dodge (jeavy uka make mistake) appears as a movement, not exclusively positive, nor negative. In political terms: it does not submit nor submits oneself. The analysis addresses as well the practice of deceit, according to how it appears in the mythological guarani narratives, whose operation in the mythology reveals a mechanism of political critique. At the end, after revisiting the historical process of resistance of the guarani, one reaches to a contemporary context of indigenous struggle for land demarcation, in which are unfolded updates of key figures of the Amerindian politics, such as the xamã and the warrior. Thus, be it in the past or the present, the work here presented seeks to demonstrate how the guarani dodge is a movement capable of generate, in a concomitant manner, opposed and interdependent possibilities of resistance.

It is constituted by two large units. The first one (chapters 1, 2 and 3), where the protagonists of this conflict will be presented: the Tupi people, the colonists and the Jesuit missionaries. Some sociocultural characteristics of the Tupi will be presented, such as the leadership, the religion and the mobility, with their net of paths between the villages and the several areas of the countryside with which they had contact. The commercial project of the colonists, who were mainly expatriates and adventurers, will be discussed briefly. The project was implemented in the coast of Sao Vicente, and was based on sugarcane culture and Indian slavery. On the other hand, the small number of settlers who lived isolated in Sao Paulo de Piratininga favoured the formation of a mixed-race society, which will, from the end of the sixteenth century on, engage in Indian traffic. The missionary project of the Jesuits, brought from Europe in the spirit of the Tridentine reform, will also be described. The second unit (chapters 4 and 5), where the indigenous response to these colony agents will be presented: the welcome, the compliance with the missionary and colonial project, and the two types of resistance, veiled and bellicose. With regard to the compliance with the missionary project, the first two royal villages, Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Pinheiros and Sao Miguel de Ururay will be described, as well as the connection between these Indians who became Christians and the colonial life. As for the resistance, the importance of the religious Tupi leaderships during the insurrections will be shown, especially in the Piratininga War, and the resistance of the autonomous Tupi, who pressured bellicosely the village of Sao Paulo until the end of the sixteenth century. Finally, the participation of an important Tupi segment in the colonial project in Sao Paulo, which resulted in the pro-slavery expeditions will be discussed. Attached, the translations, previously unpublished, of the Tupinambá myths collected by Thevet in the sixteenth century will be presented: the text of the first indigenous land demarcation in the plateau of Sao Paulo, and the first populational survey in Brazil, conducted by the Jesuit Father Luis da Fonseca around 1592 / Este trabalho tem como objetivo mostrar como os Tupi de Piratininga se posicionaram na segunda metade do século XVI frente ao projeto colonial português. Possui duas grandes unidades. A primeira, com os capítulos 1, 2 e 3, onde serão apresentados os protagonistas deste embate: o povo Tupi, o colono e o missionário jesuíta. Dos Tupi serão apresentadas algumas de suas características sócio-culturais, como a chefia, a religião e a mobilidade, com sua rede de caminhos entre as aldeias e as diversas regiões do interior com as quais tinha contato. Do colono, formado na sua maioria por degredados e aventureiros, será apresentado brevemente o projeto comercial, implantado no litoral vicentino, e que era baseado na cultura da cana de açúcar e na escravidão indígena. Por sua vez o pequeno número de povoadores que viviam isolados em São Paulo de Piratininga propiciou a formação de uma sociedade mestiça, que se dedicará, a partir do final do século XVI, ao tráfico de indígenas Do jesuíta será apresentado seu projeto missionário, trazido da Europa no espírito da reforma tridentina. A segunda unidade, capítulos 4 e 5, onde serão apresentadas as respostas indígenas frente a estes agentes da colônia: a acolhida, a adesão ao projeto missionário e colonial, e a resistência, na suas duas formas, a dissimulada e a guerreira. Quanto à adesão ao projeto missionário serão apresentados os dois primeiros aldeamentos reais, o de Nossa Senhora da Conceição de Pinheiros e o de São Miguel de Ururay, e a ligação destes indígenas que se tornaram cristãos com a vida colonial. Quanto à resistência, será mostrada a importância das lideranças religiosas Tupi nos levantes guerreiros, sobretudo na guerra de Piratininga, e a resistência dos Tupi autônomos, que pressionaram belicamente a vila de São Paulo até o final do século XVI. E finalmente a participação de um importante seguimento Tupi no projeto colonial paulista, que resultou no bandeirismo escravista. Em anexo serão apresentadas as traduções, ainda inéditas, dos mitos Tupinambá, recolhidos por Thevet, no século XVI; o texto da primeira demarcação de terra indígena no planalto paulista; e o primeiro levantamento populacional do Brasil, feito pelo jesuíta Pe.

In order to speak of indigenous resistance and understand it in the Colombian context, wemust take into account not only the conditions of conflict but also how state power is configured. So, we should address the structural failure of the state and understand how it leads to incomplete state intervention in the whole Colombian territory, which in turn, causes unfulfillment of basic needs and lack of legitimacy in peripheral areas. Due to this failure of the state, indigenous communities native to those areas are forced to meet their needs by means of alternative routes, such as the formation of their own government, which is legitimate and legal on constitutional terms. They are able to do so with support from organizations such as the Regional Indigenous Council of the Cauca (CRIC) or the imposed link with illegal armed groups (imposed because it is not legitimate but a reality close to indigenous communities) who use their coercive force to replace public institutions and provide services such as health, safety and the maintenance of order under their particular logics.Indigenous communities have developed self-government with identity and territoriality, which leads to new forms of organization of power. An example of this is the Regional Indigenous Council of Cauca, which represents the interests of all indigenous communities of the Cauca and promotes communication with indigenous people from other areas. This work pays significant attention to the CRIC since it contains characteristics of power such as resistance, discourses of truth and a link with law. / Al hablar de resistencia indígena, situándola dentro del contexto colombiano, habremos de tener en cuenta no solo las condiciones de conflicto, sino también cómo se configura el poder dominante materializado en el Estado. De esta forma, debemos adentrarnos en la falla estructural del Estado y cómo, a consecuencia de esto, se evidencia una capacidad incompleta de intervención estatal en todo el territorio colombiano. Como consecuencia, hallamos necesidades básicas insatisfechas y una falta de legitimación del mismo territorio en zonas aledañas. Gracias a esta falla, las comunidades indígenas (propias de estas zonas aledañas) se ven obligadas a satisfacer sus necesidades por ciertas vías alternativas: la formación de un gobierno propio (legítimo y legal en términos constitucionales) con la ayuda de organismos también propios, como el Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca (CRIC); o la impositiva vinculación (impositiva porque no es legítima, pero es una realidad cercana a las comunidades indígenas) con los grupos armados al margen de la ley, quienes a partir de su fuerza coactiva remplazan en gran medida a las instituciones pública y proveen servicios de salud, seguridad y de mantenimiento del orden bajo sus lógicas.Las comunidades indígenas han desarrollado a partir de sus condiciones un gobierno propio que implica identidad y territorialidad, dando origen a nuevas y ricas formas de organización del poder. Como ejemplo, dado que representa y agrupa los intereses de todas las comunidades indígenas del Cauca y propicia la comunicación con indígenas de otras zonas, está el Consejo Regional Indígena del Cauca, al que prestaremos atención ya que contiene características de mpoder como la resistencia, los discursos de verdad y la vinculación con el derecho.
