  • 1 Construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway As Environmental Racism
    HPS: The Journal of History & Political Science 5 “Plus Ten Percent for HPS: The Journal of History & Political 1 Forcible Taking:” Science 2017, Vol. 5 13-25 Construction of the © The Author(s) 2017 St. Lawrence Seaway as Environmental Racism on Kahnawà:ke2 Lily Ieroniawá:kon Deer Carleton University, Canada The construction of massive economic development projects disproportionately impacts Indigenous communities in what is now Canada, and is defined by Melissa Checker as environmental racism. This paper explores the imposition process of the St. Lawrence Seaway on the Kanien’kehá:ka community of Caughnawaga, Quebec. The colonial relationship Glen Coulthard describes is used to frame the power dynamics between the state and the community of Caughnawaga in the conception, construction, and compensation phases of the St. Lawrence Seaway. The initial location of the Seaway was on the southern part of the island of Montreal, though shifted on Caughnawaga in future development interests of the city, as uncovered by a draft report completed by Joan Holmes and Associates in 1999. The cabinet conclusions from the Parliament of Canada between 1955 and 1956 discussed concern of legality surrounding the expropriation of reserve land. Ministers declared the legal incongruity could be resolved with amending the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority Act to define the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority as a corporation. The amendment allowed for the Authority to forcibly take lands within Caughnawaga via Section 35 of the Indian Act, removing non-consenting families from their homes. The oral history accounts conducted by Kahnawà:ke community members Stephanie K. Phillips and Dwayne Stacey emphasized the unjust nature of the Seaway.

ABORIGINAL CLAIMS TO CULTURAL PROPERTY IN CANADA: A COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE REPATRIATION DEBATE Catherine Bell* L Introduction Although "aboriginal rights" has yet to be given a comprehensive definition in Canadian law, most native peoples assert that aboriginal rights include the right to govern their own people and their land and its use. For many, the right of self-governance includes the right to determine their own cultural priorities, identify what is and is not essential to their cultural integrity and the survival of their heritage, and exercise ownership rights over tribal cultural property. In Canada, the desire to exercise control over cultural property has manifested itself in several forms. Modern land claims agreements such as the Nunavut Settlement Agreement' and the failed Dene/Metis Compre- hensive Land Claim Agreement 2 provide for aboriginal participation in future heritage resource management as well as federal assistance in the repatriation of heritage resources.
