RE-ADDRESSING THE MYTHS From long-houses to towers in the skies, from popcorn to Polaris, from concrete to constitutional reforms, the influence of the Aboriginal peoples in the areas of trade, agriculture, diplomacy, architecture, art, music, science, technology, food, and medicines has been so profound as to impact upon and TRANSFORM European culture. Welcome to a General Introduction to the Creative Genius, Ingenuity and Achievements of the Aboriginal peoples who built America. “Great warriors do not always fight, but with wisdom, are peacemakers” (Tribal Law, 103, Eastern Algonquin) Complex methods of agriculture included irrigation, fertilization, terracing, and hybridization. Architectural designs from the ancient Americas are not only still standing but also still inhabited today. Sustainable development of resources was not only a necessity but a way of life. The artists celebrated and honored the beauty of life before all creation. The hunters and trappers and fishers and growers provided. The healers healed. The diplomats formed alliances with other nations to ensure trade and commerce. All of this is WORK. Aboriginal peoples have been very good at adapting traditional skills into salable skills as our economies were disrupted and our land base eroded. Indian cowboys work and ride the rodeo circuit on the plains, where remarkable horsemanship has always been a way of life. Coastal peoples, for whom the Ocean is mother, developed fisheries. Forest people continue to defend their right to log and the Haudenosaunee (‘they build longhouses’) have transferred their architectural and construction skills to the high steel. 3 Persistent Myths vs. Enduring Realities Myth: Aboriginal people are all alike. Reality: Within Canada there are three distinct Aboriginal groups – Inuit, Metis and First Nations. There are many First Nations throughout Canada; and among these there are more than 50 distinctive linguistic groups. There are, also, several dialects within Inuktitut; and the Metis peoples speak a variety of First Nations languages such as Cree, Ojibwa, Chipewyan or Michif (a “nation language”, which has evolved out of their mixed ancestry). Each of these groups/nations follows a distinct lifeway, in which Creation Stories, Song, Dance, Works of Art, tradition, medicines, and modes of governance (along with language) reflect distinct tribal histories and identities. Myth: The Aboriginal peoples of North America were conquered because they were inferior. Reality: The First Nations Peoples of Canada were NEVER “conquered”. We were never engaged in WAR with the colonizers; rather, we were engaged in partnerships, without which the newcomers would never have survived. We facilitated the survival of the Europeans; we facilitated their economic development within the fur trade, the fishing industry, and in the development of labor (and life) – saving devices to facilitate the transportation of men, goods, and supplies across seemingly impassable land and waterways. The Native peoples of this land welcomed the newcomers as guests and treated them as equal partners. The newcomers, however, brought diseases (such as smallpox), against which our peoples had no immunity, guns, with which they decimated the buffalo, and dishonest negotiators, who entered into fraudulent treaties with our peoples, which were not honored. Myth: The Native Americans arrived in this hemisphere via the Siberian land bridge. Reality: The Creation Stories of every First Nation across the United States and Canada attest to the fact that our peoples were created from the very earth of the traditional tribal lands. Myth: The Original peoples of North America had no civilization until the Europeans brought it to them. Reality: Our Original Nations were highly civilized, boasting sophisticated forms of governance and democratic principles, from which the Constitution of the United States borrowed heavily; intricate systems of irrigation (in the South west) rivaling those of classical Greece and Rome; structurally and aesthetically complex forms of architecture, art, music, agriculture, medicine, philosophy, and spiritual dogma and practice. Myth: Native Americans were warlike and treacherous. Reality: American Indians fought fiercely against the atrocities of European Invaders. They fought to defend their lands, lives, sovereignty, freedom, and lifeways from these invaders. Alternatively, some nations joined forces with their European partners with whom strong ties in trade and/or marriage had been forged; and they fought against the European foes of their European allies with courage and loyalty. Myth: Native Americans have contributed nothing to Europeans or to the growth of North America. Reality: The contributions of American Indians have changed and enriched the world. The Constitution of the United States of America has been influenced not only by European thinkers and writers but also by the powerful, well-organized Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), who had lived by their own Constitution – the Kaianerekow (Great Law of Peace) – for centuries. Certain aspects of the Iroquois Confederacy were adopted in the construction of the American Federal system. These aspects include impeachment, equal representation of nations, checks and balances, and the concepts of freedom, peace, and democracy. Myth: Tribal Nations did not value or empower women. Reality: Native American women often wielded considerable power within their tribes. They chose and advised tribal leaders; in agricultural societies, they retained ownership over homes and properties, and this ownership was passed from mother to daughter; and both genders bore 4 separate but equally vital responsibilities for the maintenance and survival of their communities. Western literature, narrative, and media has imaged the Indigenous female as either a “squaw” (dirty, slovenly, promiscuous, and ugly) or as an exotic “princess”, the beautiful daughter of a Chief, who was generally willing to abandon her people to marry a dashing European. Myth: The Aboriginal people of North America are a vanished (or rapidly vanishing) race. Reality: There are 2.1 million United States Indians today; and in 1996 The Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples cited the total population of Inuit, Metis, and First Nations peoples as 811,400. The Commission has projected that by 2006 our numbers will reach 959,000 (RCAP, Vol. 1, 21). Myth: Most Aboriginal peoples in North America are confined to reservations; they live in tipis, wear braids, and ride horses. Reality: Aboriginal peoples are not restricted to their reservations; many live in urban areas, attend post-secondary institutions, and work in all areas of professional endeavor from law to medicine to entertainment, politics, engineering, teaching, etc. Few wear braids and ride horses. Fewer still own tipis. Myth: First Nations peoples get a “free ride” from the Government. Reality: The benefits that First Nations peoples receive from the Government constitute the repayment of a considerable debt owed to the Original peoples to compensate us for the surrender of some or all of our invaluable lands. Myth: Native Americans have a genetic predisposition towards alcoholism. Reality: Native Americans

    Voices of Urban Aboriginal Peoples with Diabetes by Moneca Sinclaire A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Moneca Sinclaire June 2018 Voices of Urban Aboriginal Peoples with Diabetes Moneca Sinclaire Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 ABSTRACT This art based research study is situated within an Indigenous research methodology. The goal of the research was to first, document the voices of Urban Aboriginal people with Type 2 diabetes and secondly, to bring together these voices into an updated oral format using the medium of radio. Four principles that grounded this research were Indigenous research paradigm, drawing from Indigenous scholars, critiquing the Euro-Western biomedical worldview of health, and reciprocity. Using an Indigenous research paradigm meant situating who I am as a Nahayowak (Cree) woman who used prayer, medicines and talking with Elders to carry out the research. Second, I ensured the bulk of the reference sources were Indigenous writers. Third, the research was undertaken knowing that health is situated in a colonial Euro-Western biomedical worldview and if the health of Indigenous people is to improve I must assert Indigenous ways of doing research. Finally, any work I do must have a component of reciprocity where knowledge and pragmatic tools, podcast of radio documentary, must be given back to not only the academy but to students and Indigenous community members.

(date ) AESTRACT This study is concerned with the persistence of human life on the edge of the Canadian Barren Grounds. The Chipewyan make up the largest distinct linguistic and cultural group and are the most easterly among the Northern Athapaskan Indians, or Dene. Over many centuries, the Chipewyan have maintained a form of social life as an edge-of-the-forest people and people of the Barren Grounds to the west of Hudson Bay. The particular aim of this thesis is to attempt, through a survey of the ecological and historical 1iterature , to elucidate something of the traditional adaptive pattern of the Chipewyan in their explcitation of the subarc tic envirorient . Given the fragmentary nature of much of the historical evidence, our limited understanding of the subarctic environment, and the fact that the Chipewyan oecumene (way of looking at life) is largely denied to the modern observer, we acknowledge that this exercise in ecological and historical reconstruction is governed by serious hazards and limitations.

    1. Introduction and Terms of Reference I was invited by Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation to work on its behalf as it prepared for the hearings for Shell’s proposed Jackpine Mine Expansion and new Pierre River Mine (letter 18 Nov. 2010). Sean Nixon, with Woodward & Company LLP, then provided me with terms of reference to follow in writing an expert report (e-mail letter 21 Dec. 2010): 1. Provide an ethnographic description of the people who now form Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, including an analysis of how traditional band structures differ from those created by virtue of the Indian Act . 2. Describe how ACFN passed on their culture and cultural practices to future generations (e.g., what were their oral history traditions?). 3. Provide a description of ACFN traditional territory or traditional lands, including: a. whether there was a pre-contact (and/or pre-Treaty) concept of ACFN territory, b. the extent to which ACFN moved around within their territory (including: the amount of space required to carry out their traditional activities; the need to be respectful of others’ rights; and the depletion of resources), c. “axes” of ACFN territory (if this concept is relevant to ACFN), d. whether there was any amalgamation of groups (e.g., was there any overlap between local groups and bands through marriage and family connections?), e. whether there was any effect of the formation of a separate First Nation at Fort MacKay on ACFN membership and on its relation to the “southern territories” (i.e., the southern portions of ACFN traditional territory or traditional lands)? 4.

  • Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas' 100Th Birthday This
    Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity. Also included in the season will be a screening of Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer, 1964) which Douglas starred in opposite Ava Gardner; the screening will be introduced by English Heritage who will unveil a new blue plaque in honour of Ava Gardner at her former Knightsbridge home later this year. Born Issur Danielovich into a poor immigrant family in New York State, Kirk Douglas began his path to acting success on a special scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he met Betty Joan Perske (later to become better known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in helping to launch his film career.

A Long History First Nations history in Alberta dates back at least 11,000 years and approximately 500 generations.The Milk River that runs through Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park in Alberta contains the largest concentration of First Nation petroglyphs (rock carvings) and pictographs (rock paintings) on the great plains of North America. Evidence like the rock carvings and a 10,000 year old spearhead found in Athabasca prove a lengthy and well established way of life for the First Nations in Alberta. First Nation Life Before the Arrival of Europeans Prior to the arrival of Europeans in North America, the land provided the First Nations with everything they required for their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional well being. Everything in nature was seen as living; therefore, First Nations people respected and took care of the land around them. The land took care of the First Nations by continually growing herbs and plants for healing and providing the wildlife they needed to survive.
