In her foreword, she wrote that “for present day scholars, the most important items are the documents—some are still missing, but they are sufficient to provide inspiration and the basis for further research [— which] … offer critical insight into relationships between Ottawa-based administrators and those in the field, and into how accuracy becomes lost or distorted in written reports and memos.” In the interests of encouraging academic debate and making previous research on the High Arctic Relocations more readily available, and inspired by many wonderful and illuminating conversations with Shelagh, I initiated work on this volume immediately after Errors Exposed was released. I have had many students over the years who had selected this topic for research papers, and who have arrived at very different assessments based upon the oral histories, films, books, and reports that they have read. By bringing together various perspectives, I hope that these volumes will encourage more work on and ongoing discussion about this important subject. I have discussed and debated the question of government motives behind the High Arctic relocations with many students, colleagues and friends over the years, and thank all of them for their insights and shared commitment to knowledge and justice. I have been fortunate to visit Inukjuak, Pond Inlet, and Resolute Bay over the last fifteen years pursuant to my research with the Canadian Rangers, and these trips have continuously rekindled my interest in the relocations and the implications they had, and continue to have, on Inuit in these communities. My most recent travel to Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay in February 2020 was facilitated by 1st Canadian Ranger Patrol Group and the Canada Research Chair in the Study of the Canadian North at Trent University, which further enrichment my understanding of these events and their implications. A Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Insight Grant on Canada-US Relations in the Cold War Arctic funded research travel to Ottawa and Gatineau, as well as transcription assistance, as did Canada Research Chair funding. Research assistants Jessica Heidt, Corah Hodgson, and Heather Robinson assisted with transcribing the various reports contained herein. University of Calgary doctoral candidate Ryan Dean lent his usual eagle-eye in helping to copy edit the final draft, and Jennifer Arthur-Lackenbauer designed the covers. Colleagues Peter Kikkert and Mark Stoller offered valuable feedback on the introduction and on the research project more broadly. To all of them I offer my deepest gratitude. 1 House of Commons Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs (HCSCAA), Proceedings, 19 March 1990, 22:16. Acronym List Acc. Accession Cst.

  • Aboriginal Two-Spirit and LGBTQ Mobility
    Aboriginal Two-Spirit and LGBTQ Mobility: Meanings of Home, Community and Belonging in a Secondary Analysis of Qualitative Interviews by Lisa Passante A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2012 by Lisa Passante ABORIGINAL TWO-SPIRIT & LGBTQ HOME, COMMUNITY, AND BELONGING Abstract This thesis reports on a secondary analysis of individual and focus group interviews from the Aboriginal Two-Spirit and LGBTQ Migration, Mobility and Health research project (Ristock, Zoccole, and Passante, 2010; Ristock, Zoccole, & Potskin, 2011). This was a community-based qualitative research project following Indigenous and feminist methods, involving two community Advisory Committees, and adopting research principles of Ownership Control Access and Possession (OCAP) (First Nations Centre, 2007). This analysis reviews data from 50 participants in Winnipeg and Vancouver and answers: How do Aboriginal Two-Spirit and LGBTQ people describe home, community and belonging in the context of migration, multiple identities, and in a positive framework focusing on wellbeing, strengths and resilience? Findings demonstrate how participants experience marginalization in both Aboriginal and gay communities. Their words illustrate factors such as safety required to facilitate positive identities, community building, belonging, and sense of home. For participants in this study home is a place where they can bring multiple identities, a geographical place, a physical or metaphorical space (with desired tone, feeling), and a quality of relationships. Community is about places, relationships, participation, and shared interests. Belonging is relational and interactive, feeling safe, accepted, and welcome to be yourself.

  • Book Reviews
    BOOK REVIEWS Abel, Kerry: Drum Songs: Glimpses of Dene History. Montreal: McGill- Queen's University Press, 1993, xxviii + 339 pp., black and white photographs, tables, maps, bibliography, index. [McGill-Queen's Stud- ies in Ethnic History series.] ISBN: 0-7735-0992-5, Cloth CDN $44.95; 0-7735-1150-4, Paper CDN $19.95. Kerry Abel grew up in northern Canadian resource towns but, not surprisingly, learned little from her schooling about the north and its Aboriginal residents. This personal experience inspired her research focus as an historian. With this book, she hopes "... to readjust the balance of historical writing" (p.x) and "... to answer the question of how these northern people have been able to maintain a sense of cultural distinctiveness in the face of overwhelming economic, political, and cultural pressures from the European newcomers to their homelands" (p.xi). While she does not claim to be writing an ethnohistory or history from Dene perspectives, she does incorporate a wide range of social, economic, and political topics. Dene or Athapaskan peoples are widely distributed across the western Subarctic, from Hudson Bay to interior Alaska. They live in northern California and in the southwestern United States. The Dene of this history are those occupying the Mackenzie River drainage, especially that part of it that later became the Northwest Territories, with some discussion of contiguous regions. A map showing the general population divisions used in this book would have been helpful. The narrative begins by outlining the history of human occupation of the Mackenzie Drainage to the point of contact with Europeans, drawing upon archaeological evidence and Dene oral traditions (Chapter 1) followed by a very broad-brushed picture of Dene life in the 18th century on the eve of contact with European traders (Chapter 2).

Yet, women have been noticeably absent from the historical record of the RCMP, allowing the figure of the heroic male Mountie to continue his dominance in official, academic, and popular histories. Central to these discourses has been the male police body which has been positioned as the only body capable of enforcing the law in Canada.
