  • Akutaq1: the Impact of Colonialism on Inuit Religiosity and Literature
    ESSAYS ___________________________________________________________ EJAS Akutaq1: The Impact of Colonialism on Inuit Religiosity and Literature Rita Nándori The Spiritual Shift: Magic Songs Versus Hymns and Journals “Above each hut waved a little white flag—signs that the inmates had relinquished their old heathen faith and become Christian” (Rasmussen 118). The shaman Aua had explained to Knud Rasmussen that traditions based on experience and generational knowledge are what the Inuit adhere to. The harsh Arctic life is reflected in Aua’s description of Inuit beliefs. The shaman explains that fear is the primary guiding force of life: “We fear the elements with which we have to fight in their fury to wrest out food from land and sea. We fear cold and famine in our snow huts. We fear the sickness that is daily to be seen amongst us. We fear the souls of the dead of human and animals alike.” (Rasmussen 130) This summary of Inuit faith is not foreign to Christianity where god-fearing is an often-used term. All of the things feared by Aua—such as illness and a variety of hardships—are feared by Christians as well. While Christians believe that everything is governed by the will of God, the Inuit are less certain why things happen the way they do (Rasmussen 129-130). The existence of the spirit world— something divine that is beyond the material world— that intertwines all is not unknown to Inuit faith. To be a good person is what the Christian commandments teach people, similarly Inuit teachings rest upon proper behaviour and avoidance of evil doings (Piercey-Lewis 252-253).

  • Barriers to Equal Education for Aboriginal Learners: a Review of the Literature
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 459 020 RC 023 223 AUTHOR Mattson, Linda; Caffrey, Lee TITLE Barriers to Equal Education for Aboriginal Learners: A Review of the Literature. A BC Human Rights Commission Report. INSTITUTION British Columbia Human Rights Commission, Vancouver. PUB DATE 2001-05-00 NOTE 72p. AVAILABLE FROM For full text: http://www.bchrc.gov.bc.ca/BarriersToEqualEducation.asp. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *American Indian Education; *Canada Natives; Culturally Relevant Education; Disadvantaged Youth; *Educational Environment; *Educational Needs; Elementary Secondary Education; *Equal Education; Foreign Countries; Indigenous Personnel; Participative Decision Making; Politics of Education; Power Structure; Racial Discrimination; Special Education; Tribally Controlled Education IDENTIFIERS *British Columbia; *Institutional Discrimination; Social Justice ABSTRACT Education is a fundamental right of all people but, for the Canadian Aboriginal community it is particularly critical for overcoming historical disadvantages. This document reports on a review of barriers to equal education for Aboriginal people. Key barriers to educational equity include issues of control, keepers of knowledge (teachers versus community), the role of curriculum in reproducing social and cultural inequalities, poverty, and overrepresentation of Aboriginal students in special education. The report makes recommendations for achieving educational equity and social justice in the public school system. Shared decision making is needed in the areas of jurisdiction and control of Aboriginal education programs, and for effective Aboriginal parental involvement in the public education system. A forum for Aboriginal youth to have input into their education should be created. The underrepresentation and role of Aboriginal teachers and support staff in the public education system warrants discussion.
