  • Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory
    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

  • Indigenous Resilience
    INDIGENOUS RESILIENCE Michalyn Steele* The story of federal Indian law is the story of Indian tribal survival in the face of perpetual challenges to their legal and cultural existence, both in law and policy. These assaults have come from every quarter: federal, state, and private actors, as well as from the judicial, legislative, and executive branches. Tribes have often lost key contests challenging their rights and status. Among other challenges, they have overcome disease, starvation, and colonialism. Theirs is a story of striking resilience. Resilience theorists study institutions, systems, and individuals to understand how they withstand, or why they succumb to, significant disruption. Resilience theory has traditionally informed law and policy in a wide range of areas from disaster response to ecology to healthcare strategies. But to date, legal and resilience theorists have largely ignored the indigenous strategies and principles that have enabled the improbable legal and cultural survival of tribes as peoples and self-governing institutions. Thus, the story of indigenous resilience provides a rich—but previously untapped— resource for understanding how institutions prepare for and adapt to disruption, not only for resilience theorists, but also for all those interested in preparing for and responding to potential threats to peoples and institutions. This Article fills this critical gap in resilience theory and practice by looking to the tribes, particularly through the lens of Haudenosaunee principles, to better understand resilience strategies. In particular, this Article identifies a set of principles of indigenous resilience that have enabled American Indian and Alaska Native tribes to adapt and maintain their core identities in the face of unimaginable assaults.

  • Land Acknowledgments a Guide
    Land Acknowledgments A Guide WHAT IS A LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT? A land acknowledgment is an act of reconciliation that involves giving a statement at the start of an event or meeting to recognize the indigenous inhabitants of the land. To acknowledge is one way to show respect to Indigenous peoples and their enduring connection with their traditional territories and its histories. WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT? We are guests on the territory where we currently have the privilege to study, live and work. It is important to acknowledge the original inhabitants of this land and the history they share with this land as a step towards reconciliation. DISH WITH ONE SPOON WAMPUM AGREEMENT McMaster University stands on land protected by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum agreement. Wampum belts are beads bound onto strings which narrate Haudenosaunee history, tradition and laws. The “Dish With One Spoon” wampum was created to bind the nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to the Great Law of Peace. The “Dish” represents the shared land, while “One Spoon” reinforces the idea of sharing and peace. HOW CAN YOU PLAY A ROLE? At McMaster University, we are committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion. We hope to foster a cohort of students and graduates who are aware and serious about reconciliation. As such, we encourage you, as leaders in the community, to adopt land acknowledgments at the beginning of your meetings or events, irrespective of the size. While giving acknowledgment is a step towards reconciliation, it is important to recognize that it is only one small step towards equity and inclusion.

    Broken Chains of Custody: Possessing, Dispossessing, and Repossessing Lost Wampum Belts MARGARET M. BRUCHAC Assistant Professor of Anthropology Coordinator, Native American and Indigenous Studies University of Pennsylvania Introduction In the spring of 2009, two historical shell bead wampum belts1—iden- tified as “early” and “rare” and valued at between $15,000 and $30,000 each—were advertised for sale at a Sotheby’s auction of Amer- ican Indian art objects2 belonging to the estate of Herbert G. Welling- ton.3 One belt, identified as having been collected by Frank G. Speck from the Mohawk community in Oka (Kanesatake, Quebec) before 1929, was tagged with an old accession number from the Heye Foun- dation/Museum of the American Indian (MAI; MAI #16/3827). The second belt, collected by John Jay White from an unknown locale before 1926, was identified as Abenaki; it, too, was tagged with an old MAI number (MAI #11/123; Figure 1). The Sotheby’s notice caught the attention of the Haudenosaunee Standing Committee on Burial Rules and Regulations (HSC), a consor- tium of Six Nations Iroquoian chiefs, tribal historians, and community leaders who serve as advocates and watchdogs for tribal territory and 1 The generic term wampum, borrowed from the Algonquian word wampumpeag for “white shells” (Trumbull 1903, 340–41), refers to cylindrical marine shell beads used by the Indigenous peoples of northeastern North America. Algonquian is the broad linguistic clas- sification for the Algonkian cultural group that includes the Indigenous nations in New England and in parts of Quebec, Ontario, and the Great Lakes. The beads were carved from the shells of univalve and bivalve mollusks harvested from the shores of Long Island Sound and other northeastern North American locales where riverine fresh waters mingled with marine salt waters.
