  • A History of Aboriginal Media Activism in Canada
    FROM BIRCHBARK TALK TO DIGITAL DREAMSPEAKING: A HISTORY OF ABORIGINAL MEDIA ACTIVISM IN CANADA By KATHLEEN BUDDLE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School ofGraduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment ofthe Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Kathleen BuddIe, December 2001 A HISTORY OF ABORIGINAL MEDIA ACTIVISM IN CANADA DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2001) McMaster University (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: From Birchbark Talk to Digital Dreamspeaking: A History ofAboriginal Media Activism in Canada. AUTHOR: Kathleen BuddIe, M.A. (The University ofWestem Ontario) SUPERVISOR: Professor Wayne Warry NUMBER OF PAGES: v,334 ii ABSTRACT The thesis addresses the interconnectedness of Aboriginal media practices; historically changing government policies; Aboriginal social and political movements; and the local situations ofreserve and urban Aboriginal peoples in Canada. It is premised on the idea that in order to understand the cultural transformations associated with the rise of modern Aboriginal society, it is necessary to assess the development of Aboriginal communications media and their impact, and to draw out the ways that colonial processes underwrite contemporary media practices. Focusing on the communicative aspects of Aboriginal agency, it documents colonialism as a form ofcommunication, and tracks Native communicative agency on a broad historical and socio-cultural scale. It attends to the centrality ofpeople and their social relations, rather than to media texts or technology. It offers an analysis ofmedia as a social form and media production as a crucial form of social action. It examines the "cultural mediations" that occur through Aboriginal media production. My principle concern is with Aboriginal strategies ofindigenizing, or diminishing the massness of, communications media through narrowcasting.
