Sinke Mark 202011 Phd Thesis.Pdf LEARNING TO SETTLE: YOUNG STUDENTS LEARNING CANADIAN AND INDIGENOUS HISTORIES IN THE FIGURED WORLDS OF SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSROOMS by Mark Robert Sinke A draft thesis to be submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Mark Robert Sinke 2020 LEARNING TO SETTLE LEARNING TO SETTLE: YOUNG STUDENTS LEARNING CANADIAN AND INDIGENOUS HISTORIES IN THE FIGURED WORLDS OF SOCIAL STUDIES CLASSROOMS Doctor of Philosophy (2020) Mark Robert Sinke Department of Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning University of Toronto Abstract This research study is an investigation into how children in public elementary schools are educated through social studies curricula into ways of understanding themselves and their relationships to the nation-state, the land, and people with whom they share the land. The questions that have driven this research are these: 1) How do young students construct and negotiate the figured worlds of a social studies classroom where they engage in inquiry-based learning about settler colonialism? 2) What do students connect with, and what are they doing with the stories they hear about Indigenous and Canadian history in public school classrooms? 3) How do students in public school classrooms take up or reject settler colonialism in their learning about history? Examining these questions through the theoretical frame of figured worlds and employing a post-structural ethnographic methodology, the author relies on the fields of curriculum studies and settler colonial studies to ground this study into the experiences of young students in public schools. The frame of figured worlds allows the author to examine the ways that students talk about and enact identities-in-practice as they learn stories about Canadian and Indigenous histories. This thesis sheds light on the specific ways students configure, negotiate, and enact their own subjectivities as they learn about the settlement and growth of Canada on the Indigenous territory it now occupies. ii LEARNING TO SETTLE Data for this study were gathered through research groups, interviews, and classroom observations at two elementary schools in Hamilton, Ontario. Analysis and discussion of these data reveal the complex ways students both take up and\or reject discourses and narratives about settler colonialism, Indigenous resurgence, and reconciliation. The stories and experiences of students in this research reveal ways that education works to maintain settler structures of inequality and elimination through the teaching of social studies. This work also points to ways this can be challenged, and how counter-narratives and discourses are being taken up by students as they navigate their identities-in-practice in response to what they learn, who they learn it with, and the multiple voices that they listen to for guidance. iii LEARNING TO SETTLE Acknowledgements Throughout the long journey of completing this thesis, I have been blessed with the support and accompaniment of many people for whom I am deeply grateful. I am very grateful for the guidance, membership, and friendship of my supervisor, Dr. Jean-Paul Restoule. He helped shape my understanding of research and its role while empowering me with the knowledge and practice I needed to pursue this study. Thank you to Dr. Rubén Gaztambide- Fernández, who helped shape my understandings of many areas that were key to this thesis, and always encouraged me to think deeply about where we find meaning in the things we say, read, write, and research. I am grateful to Dr. Diane Farmer for her model of compassionate consideration about the ways children are included in knowledge production through research. Her guidance and encouragement helped me see the possibilities of researching with children and played an integral role in the development of this research project and thesis. Dr. Fikile Nxumalo and Dr. Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw, thank you for your thoughtful critique and insight into this work and for challenging me to think deeply about its implications and importance. The relationships I was gifted throughout the time I spent at OISE are very precious to me, and I owe a great thank you to Lucy El-Sherif, Fiona Purton, Daniela Bascuñan, Shawna Carroll, Neil Ramjewan, Anjali Helferty, and so many others for your encouragement, love, support, and friendship. I would not have succeeded without each one of you, and I look forward to many more years of conversation and collaboration. The community of my family members, friends, students, and colleagues has supported me for many years with grace and encouragement, and I am grateful for their dedication to getting me through this long process. iv LEARNING TO SETTLE The journey has been long and fruitful, while also challenging and difficult. Throughout it all my partner has held me up and kept me going with her strength and grace. Thank you, Christine, for your unfaltering belief and support to see me through this. v LEARNING TO SETTLE Table of Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ...................................................................................................................... iv Table of Contents ......................................................................................................................... vi Chapter 1: Introductions .............................................................................................................. 1 Introducing the Author .............................................................................................................. 10 Introducing the Landscape: Hamilton and Settler Colonialism at the Head of the Lake. ......... 17 Introducing the Chapters ........................................................................................................... 23 Chapter 2: Settler Colonialism and the Figured Worlds of Canadian Public Education .... 27 Imperatives of Settler Colonialism ............................................................................................ 28 Pedagogies of Settler Colonialism ........................................................................................ 35 Curricular and Educational Responses to Othering and Exclusion ..................................... 39 Settler Education for Young Children ................................................................................... 42 Figured Worlds of Elementary School Classrooms .................................................................. 43 Figured Worlds ...................................................................................................................... 44 Constructed and Re-constructed Cultural Practices. ......................................................... 48 Historical Phenomenon of Cultural Significance. ............................................................ 51 Subjectivity and Social Relations of Power and Privilege. ............................................... 54 Identities-In-Practice ............................................................................................................. 56 Subjectivity, Culture, and Learning in Children’s Lives ....................................................... 61 Student Self and Identity. .................................................................................................. 62 Children’s Cultural Worlds. .............................................................................................. 64 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................. 69 Chapter 3: Social Studies and Inquiry-Based Learning ......................................................... 73 Settler Colonial Perspectives and Ontario Social Studies Curriculum ..................................... 73 The Formal Curriculum for Elementary School Social Studies ............................................ 74 Citizenship as Canadian Identity. ..................................................................................... 76 vi LEARNING TO SETTLE Indigeneity and Multiculturalism in Social Studies. ......................................................... 78 Inquiry-Based Learning. ................................................................................................... 80 Conclusion ................................................................................................................................. 85 Chapter 4: Methodology............................................................................................................. 88 Respecting Relationships with Methodological Considerations ............................................... 92 Researching with Children ........................................................................................................ 94 Informed Consent .................................................................................................................. 94 Researcher Relationship ........................................................................................................ 96 Incorporating Student Research Perspectives ....................................................................... 98 Sites of Research ....................................................................................................................

  • The “Nanfan Treaty” – Legal Considerations
    Part 3 The “Nanfan Treaty” – Legal Considerations Is the “Nanfan Treaty” legally valid? Does the 1701 “Conveyance of lands by the Native American Chiefs of the Five Nations ” constitute a valid treaty between the Crown and the Indians? Do the Haudenosaunee have a valid case to claim hunting rights in the Dundas Valley Conservation Area? Does the Hamilton Conservation Authority have the right to enter into relevant Protocol Agreements with the Haudenosaunee, based on alleged “treaty rights”? Were the Ontario learned justices in R. v. Ireland and Jamieson [1990] and R. v. Barberstock [2003] wrong? Is the Ontario government wrong? On June 6, 2011, the Hamilton Spectator published an article, “Treaty covers HCA lands: Bentley”, in which it reported: “Ontario's attorney general and minister of aboriginal affairs says Six Nations' hunting and fishing treaty rights apply in lands owned by the Hamilton Conservation Authority (HCA).” “In a letter received by the authority last month, Chris Bentley said the 1701 Treaty of Albany (or Nanfan Treaty) provides for the continuation of Six Nations “hunting and fishing activities on the lands subject to the treaty. The lands owned by the Hamilton Conservation Authority are within this treaty territory. /…/ "HCA general manager Steve Miazga said the letter, which was accepted at the board of directors' annual general meeting Thursday, “builds on” the recommendations they received from police and the Ministry of Natural Resources' enforcement branch to “build the relationship with the Haudenosaunee regarding environment matters. /…/ “Bentley wrote that he “fully support(s)” an agreement that was reached to respect the treaty rights of Six Nations people to hunt deer in the area for food.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

These shared concerns include the environment, land use, housing, social services, and much more, and modern municipalities do make attempts to address Indigenous-specific needs in these areas; but Indigenous-municipal relationships have implications that far exceed the technocratic and siloed ways in which Canadian systems generally approach these broad areas of concern - implications not only with regard for Indigenous people, but for all people.

  • Ontario Court Grants Injunction to Prevent Interference with Pipeline Maintenance Work: Enbridge Pipelines INC
    April 12, 2017 ARTICLE Ontario Court Grants Injunction To Prevent Interference With Pipeline Maintenance Work: Enbridge Pipelines INC. V. Williams And Hill, 2017 ONSC 1642, Ontario Superior Court Of Justice (Broad J.), 15 March 2017 The Ontario Superior Court of Justice allowed an injunction application by Enbridge Pipelines Inc. to prohibit the Aboriginal defendants from interfering with its maintenance work on two pipelines in the Hamilton, Ontario area. The Court rejected the defendants' argument that it must consider whether the duty to consult and accommodate had been fully discharged before granting an injunction to a private party. Enbridge owns and operates an interprovincial pipeline system extending across Canada and the USA. Line 10 is a 143-km long stretch of pipeline running between North Westover, Ontario to Buffalo, New York. Line 11 runs between Westover, Ontario and Nanticoke, Ontario. The easements for these pipelines had been granted to Enbridge's predecessor. Enbridge has a comprehensive pipeline preventative maintenance program for its pipeline network. Under this program, it is sometimes necessary for an excavation around the pipeline segment, known as a "Maintenance Dig". Such work usually lasts 15 days. The Court referred to evidence that Enbridge had written to the Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississaugas of the New Credit, as well as the Haudenosaunee Development Institute ("HDI"), well in advance of the maintenance. No objections were raised by the HDI or the two First Nations. The defendants Williams and Hill identify themselves as representatives and "enforcers" of HDI. Enbridge asserted that the defendants Williams and Hill have regularly interfered with its work crews at a Maintenance Dig since January 2017.

  • Haudensaunee Deer Hunting in Dundas Valley – a “Treaty Right” Or a Fraud?
    Part 1 Haudensaunee deer hunting in Dundas Valley – a “treaty right” or a fraud? “Nanfan Treaty” is a hoax. It is not a “treaty.” It is a fraudalent interpretation of historical facts and a legally invalid claim of “treaty rights.” Nanfan Treaty does not exist. Historically, the deed of land to the English King, made by the Five Nations’ sachems in Albany on 19 July 1701, was never intended, recognized or confirmed by the Crown as a valid treaty. 1 Nanfan “Treaty” was a one-sided narrative, a one-sided deed of land with a wishlist attached to it – (an expectation to hunt in the area in question), made unilaterally by the native sachems who signed the document. This point is clearly demonstrated by the actual text of this document. In May 1784 – (83 years after the “Nanfan Treaty”) – a tract of land along the Grand River valley, being part of the lands “deeded” to the Crown in the “Nanfan Treaty”, was purchased from the Mississaugas, on behalf of the Crown, by the Governor of the Province of Quebec Frederick Haldimand. In October 1784, Haldimand granted this land to the Iroquois who had served on the British side during the American Revolution. If the Crown believed that the land was earlier “deeded”, it would not have to purchase it from the Mississaugas. During the Conference in Albany (12-19 July, 1701), that produced the so called “ Nanfan Treaty “, several speeches were made by the native leaders and by Governor Nanfan. Nanfan mainly talked about “protection” from the French and from the tribes allied with the French.

Hounshell, Chair Professor Jay Aronson Professor John Soluri Professor Joel A. Tarr Professor Steven Usselman (Georgia Tech) © 2011 Lee Jared Vinsel ii Dedication For the Vinsels, the McFaddens, and the Middletons and for Abigail, who held the ship steady iii Abstract Federal Regulatory Management of the Automobile in the United States, 1966–1988 by LEE JARED VINSEL Dissertation Director: Professor David A. Hounshell Throughout the 20th century, the automobile became the great American machine, a technological object that became inseparable from every level of American life and culture from the cycles of the national economy to the passions of teen dating, from the travails of labor struggles to the travels of “soccer moms.” Yet, the automobile brought with it multiple dimensions of risk: crashes mangled bodies, tailpipes spewed toxic exhausts, and engines “guzzled” increasingly limited fuel resources. During the 1960s and 1970s, the United States Federal government created institutions—primarily the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration within the Department of Transportation and the Office of Mobile Source Pollution Control in the Environmental Protection Agency—to regulate the automobile industry around three concerns, namely crash safety, fuel efficiency, and control of emissions. This dissertation examines the growth of state institutions to regulate these three concerns during the 1960s and 1970s through the 1980s when iv the state came under fire from new political forces and governmental bureaucracies experienced large cutbacks in budgets and staff.

April 28, 2008. These colonists are floating over us trying to land, like a ship from outer space. They hover trying to gobble us out of existence. This is about a vast tract of Haudenosaunee land in eastern Ontario. How do we know there were any Indigenous people here? Archaeologists have found evidence of longhouses and burial mounds. Guess what? “No’gonquins” [Algonquins] did not build longhouses or burial mounds. The evidence shows that the pre-historic people who lived here were Iroquois, just like the people who live here today. That’s why Ottawa and Ontario are trying to take control of the burial sites so that no one can see the evidence that proves they’re Haudenosaunee/Iroquois. Ron “Boner” Williamson , the archaeologist hired by Ontario [Archaeological Services Inc.] states that “All “Archaic peoples are forerunners of the Algonquin people”. Is this a joke! Is he saying that all pre-historic people eventually turn into Algonquins? The colonial governments, corporate investors, mining companies, developers, bankers, military, academics, archaeologists , historians, churches and fake “Indian” communities want our resources. So they’ve set up a huge “twisted history” scam.
