  • Government Spending and Own-Source Revenue for Canada’S Aboriginals : a Comparative Analysis
    MARCH 2016 Government Spending and Own-Source Revenue for Canada’s Aboriginals : A Comparative Analysis. By Ravina Bains and Kayla Ishkanian March 2016 Government Spending and Own-Source Revenue for Canada’s Aboriginals: A Comparative Analysis by Ravina Bains and Kayla Ishkanian fraserinstitute.org Contents Executive summary / iii Introduction / 1 Spending on Canada’s Aboriginals / 2 Own-source revenue / 12 Conclusion / 18 References / 19 About the authors / 23 Acknowledgments / 23 Publishing information / 23 Supporting the Fraser Institute / 24 Purpose, funding, & independence / 24 About the Fraser Institute / 25 Editorial Advisory Board / 26 fraserinstitute.org / i fraserinstitute.org Executive summary With average unemployment rates on reserve above 20 percent and graduation rates below 40 percent, there is a clear gap in outcomes between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals in Canada. This is sometimes blamed on funding dispar- ities. This study provides a fact-based evaluation of the oft-heard claims that spending on Canada’s aboriginal population is not comparable to spending on other Canadians. It examines actual spending on aboriginal Canadians using data from the federal department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, Health Canada, and provincial governments, sources where aborig- inal spending was clearly identified in the public accounts. Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) The data used to compare INAC spending on aboriginal matters with total federal program spending runs from 1946/47 through 2013/14. Per-person comparisons date from 1949/50. The increase in spending on Canada’s aboriginal peoples has been sig- nificant. In real terms, total department spending on Canada’s aboriginal peoples rose from $82 million annually in 1946/47 to over $7.9 billion in 2013/14 (all figures in this report are inflation-adjusted to 2015 dollars).

  • Dmjohnson Draft Thesis Apr 1 2014(3)
    “This Is Our Land!” Indigenous Rhetoric and Resistance on the Northern Plains by Daniel Morley Johnson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Comparative Literature University of Alberta © Daniel Morley Johnson, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines Indigenous rhetorics of resistance from the Treaty Six negotiations in 1876 to the 1930s. Using methods from Comparative Literature and Indigenous literary studies, the thesis situates the rhetoric of northern Plains Indigenous peoples in the context of settler-colonial studies, Indigenous literary nationalism, and Plains Indigenous concepts of nationhood and governance, and introduces the concept of rhetorical autonomy (an extension of literary nationalism) as an organizing framework. The thesis examines the ways Plains Indigenous writers and leaders have resisted settler-colonialism through both rhetorical and physical acts of resistance. Making use of archival and published works, the thesis is a literary and political history of Indigenous peoples from their origins on the northern plains to the period of political organizing after World War I. ii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and thank the Indigenous peoples of Treaty Six who have generously allowed me to live and work here in their territory: I hope this thesis honours your histories, is respectful of your stories, and can – in some small way – contribute to your futures. I am grateful to my doctoral committee for their support and guidance: my supervisor, Professor Jonathan Hart, and committee members and examiners, Professors Keavy Martin, Isabel Altamirano-Jiménez, Ellen bielawski, and Odile Cisneros. I am also grateful to Professor Priscilla Settee of the University of Saskatchewan for serving on my committee as external examiner.

  • George Kanipitetew, Nêhiyawak Elder, Onion Lake Cree Nation I Come
    George Kanipitetew, Nêhiyawak Elder, Onion Lake Cree Nation I come from Onion Lake, my name is George Kanipitetew. My late father would take me all over the place to tell stories. I would hear him many years ago, when people helped raise each other - how people were put upon this world throughout and how it was. You want to hear about how people were selected to be a Chief. People were scattered throughout. There was a Chief amongst them. How was the Chief selected? The person did many things - if he went on war parties, There were many things, life. How the person lived his life - That is the kind of person that was selected to become Chief. A person who took care of the people. This person accomplished many things. That’s how a person was selected. Just like today we call that person the Chief - that person is supposed to be called Chief. That’s how we know the person. The way he continues to do things, the person tries to help his people. That’s how we select the person. That is the same as it was done long time ago. A person had a helper, a village crier. When something was going to happen with the people, that village crier would go around the village and announce the Chief wants your audience. That was our way a long time ago. This is how our forefathers lived a long time ago. If the Chief wanted to do something, it wasn’t all his/her decision to make.
