Avoiding standard dictionary approaches to translations, it provides inside views and perspectives to provide broader translations of key terms related to Cree values and principles, Cree philosophy, Cree cosmology, Cree spirituality, and Cree ceremonialism. It argues the importance of providing connotative, denotative, implied meanings and etymology of key terms to broaden the understanding of nîhiyaw tâpisinowin and the need

  • Refusing to Hyphenate: Doukhobor Autobiographical Discourse
    REFUSING TO HYPHENATE: DOUKHOBOR AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL DISCOURSE By JULIE RAK, M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements for the Degree Doctorate McMaster University © Copyright by Julie Rak, June 1998 DOCTORATE (1998) (English) McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Refusing to Hyphenate: Doukhobor Autobiographical Discourse AUTHOR: Julie Rak, B.A. (McMaster University), M.A. (Carleton University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Lorraine M. York NUMBER OF PAGES: vi,256 (ii) Abstract My thesis, Refusing to Hyphenate: Doukhobor Autobiographical Discourse brings together recent theories ofautobiography with a consideration ofalternative autobiographical writing and speaking made by a Russian-speaking migrant group, the Doukhobors ofCanada. The situation ofthe Doukhobors is ideal for a consideration of alternate autobiographical forms, since Doukhobors have fallen outside liberal democratic discourses ofCanadian nationalism, land use and religion ever since their arrival in Canada in 1899. They have turned to alternate strategies to retell their own histories against the grain ofthe sensationalist image ofDoukhobors propagated by government commissions and by the Canadian media. My study is the first to recover archived autobiographical material by Doukhobors for analysis. It also breaks new ground by linking new developments in autobiography theory with other developments in diaspora theory, orality and literacy and theories ofperformativity, as well as criticism that takes issues about identity and its relationship to power into account. When they had to partially assimilate by the 1950s, some Doukhobors made autobiographical writings, translations and recordings that included interviews, older autobiographical accounts and oral histories about their identity as a migratory, persecuted people who resist State control. Others recorded their protests against the British Columbian government from the 1930s to the 1960s in collective prison diaries and legal documents.

  • Interior Plains Region Might Vary
    124-155_Ch05_F4 2/1/07 7:30 PM Page 124 CHAPTER Interior Plains 5 Land of Open Skies n the late 1700s, explorer and mapmaker David Thompson I travelled west after exploring the Canadian Shield. He kept a journal as he travelled, and this is how he described the region that would be called the Interior Plains. What I now relate is of the great body of dry land at the east foot of the mountains, the northern part of the forests, and the southern part of the plains, through which roll the Bow and Saskatchewan Rivers with their many branches. The Bow River flows through the most pleasant of the plains, and is the great resort of the bison and the red deer. The snow of the glaciers of the mountains, which everywhere border the west side of these plains, furnish water to form many rivers. The rivers that roll through this immense unbroken body of land of plains and forests are beautifully distributed... The climate is good, the winters about five months, the summers are warm, and the autumn has many fine days. The soil is rich and deep... and agriculture will succeed... 124 124-155_Ch05_F4 2/1/07 7:30 PM Page 125 Canada: Our Stories Continue The Interior Plains is a large region that covers parts of ?

Lochdale Community school language club is a safe place for students to increase their awareness of the Indigenous languages in Canada and is inclusive to all languages. All Indigenous languages in Canada are at a high risk of becoming endangered or extinct due to the impacts of colonization and residential schools. Indigenous communities are currently engaged in a variety of efforts to maintain and revitalize their languages. Using the Truth And Reconciliation (TRC), section 13 and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP), article 13 as a guide, I wanted to create an opportunity for urban indigenous students who come from various cultural backgrounds to explore, learn, research and play with their ancestral language through firstvoices.com, learnmichif.com, youtube and other online platforms.

Abstract The Nêhiyawak, Four-Body People, known as the Plains Cree, reside in the territory of Maskwacîs. Of the Four Nations that encompass Maskwacis, this study focuses on Nipisihkopahk, also known as Samson Cree Nation and is located 70km south of the city of Edmonton in Alberta. Governance for the Nêhiyawak lies in the philosophical and spiritual teachings passed down through generations of ancestral knowledge especially in discussions relating to wâhkôtowin, kinship, ohtaskanesowin, origin, and the teachings from Wîsahêcâhk, Elder Brother, who taught the Nêhiyawak about morality and self through oral narratives. As relationships between the settler state of Canada and Indigenous Nations create dialogue concerning authority and autonomy, this study discusses the methods utilized through community collaboration for the process of enacting traditional governance.

  • Delbert Mills 2011 NIITIS'po'siin (REVITALIZING & PRESERVING
    NIITIS’PO’SIIN (REVITALIZING & PRESERVING THE BLACKFOOT LANGUAGE PROGRAM) Summary/Abstract of Audioessay /Podcast A PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER’S EDUCATION Submitted by: Delbert Mills April 2011 Delbert Mills 2011 NIITIS’POWAHSIIN (Revitalizing & Preservation of the Blackfoot Language) INTRODUCTION: The audioessay NIITIS’POWAHSIIN (Revitalizing & Preservation of the Blackfoot Language) has been developed to explore efforts that have been and continue to be made to preserve the Blackfoot language on the Blood Indian Reserve. The research methodology used to produce the audio essay stresses the use of cooperative inquiry and respects the voices of the Elders and other key participants from the Blood community. Part of the strategy of revitalizing and preserving the Blackfoot language is interviewing and recording Elders, starting from their names and how they acquired their names. In the Blackfoot culture the first teaching in learning how to speak the Blackfoot language is your name. Your name identifies you and which clan you belong to. My first interview in this project has to do with the importance of “name-giving” in the Blackfoot culture. In all I interviewed six (6) tribal members from the Blackfoot/Kainai First Nations, two of these interviewee’s were Elders, two Blackfoot/Kainai certified Blackfoot language teachers, one masters degree social worker and finally a former broadcaster with the local Blackfoot Radio Program. I feel these interviews are essential to get a wider spectrum of comments on how the Blackfoot/Kainai First Nations have attempted to preserve and revitalize their language, and their informed insights on how to move forward.
