The 4th Annual Latin American and Caribbean Summer Dance Institute The next Summer Dance Institute is scheduled for June 25- July 1, 2001 and will feature Grupo Cultural Uk’ux Pop Wuj of Chichicastenango, Guatemala. Formed in 1991 with the mission of rescuing and fostering Mayan cultural traditions through a blend of dance and music, the company’s signature work, the Creation of Man, is based on the sacred book of the Maya Quiche, the Pop (time) Wuj (book). The piece follows the four stages of creation in accordance with Mayan belief-man of mud or clay, man of wood, monkey man and human beings. Other dances include the Deer Dance, the Courtship and Maize Sowing. The group has performed in New York, Mexico and throughout Guatemala. In conjunction with the performance, Jan Hanvik, executive director of Pan American Musical Art Research in New York City and a Fulbright senior scholar in dance, will lecture on Mayan rit­ ual and culture. Hanvik has conducted field research in Guatemala and other Central and South American countries and is the author of many articles on Latin American dance. The program also includes: 1) Technique classes in indigenous Bolivian folkloric dance, Haitian, Afro-Cuban, capoeira, and Caribbean dance and drumming with internationally recognized teachers and artists, including Ecuadorian choreographer Susanna Reyes; Caribbean choreographer Peter London, formerly of the Martha Graham Dance Company; Brazilian choreographer Giovanni Luquini; Bolivia Magica; and Louines Louinis of the Jean Leon Destine Haitian Dance Company. 2) Interdisciplinary, team-taught academic seminars in “Cultural Crosscurrents and Hybridity: Amerindians and Africans in the New World” and “Amerindian and African Dance and Culture in the New World” with FIU humanities and social science scholars. 3) Panel discus­ sions with distinguished artists and scholars in the field, including Allegra Fuller Snyder, Professor Emerita, University of California- Los Angeles. Courses may be taken for academic credit. Produced in collaboration with the Florida Dance Association and the Florida Dance Festival, the Summer Dance Institute is co-sponsored by FIU’s Department of Theatre and Dance, African-New World Studies Program and Latin American and Caribbean Center.

From the northern reaches of Canada to the tip of South America, modern societies struggle with the legacy of con­ quered indigenous populations and African slavery. Resolving these internal tensions has taken on a new urgency as the regions economies move closer toward integration and globalization, putting new strains on marginalized communities and raising new questions about national Midentities. The Iberian colonizers used a range of terms to describe every possible combination and degree of racial mixture. As David Howard shows in his article on the Dominican Republic, such distinctions continue there in somewhat different form today. Dominicans use a long list of terms to describe shades of skin color and avoid the still derogatory word, negro. Kathleen Bond and Andrew J. de Groot Fernandes document a similar situation in Brazil, where the ideal of “racial democracy” remains a myth to many Afro-Brazilians. Pan-black movements are working to instill a sense of pride and common identity in this community. Marian Goslinga picks up this theme in

  • 1 President's Message
    PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by David M. Cvet Summer is upon us with a vengeance, breaking temperature records from the 1930's – at least in Toronto. The warmer weather has had some fits and starts, with warm weather followed by frost, causing newly planted peppers and tomatoes to be damaged beyond saving. However, these exciting events pale in comparison to seeing the Queen's Beasts (some depicted on the right) who will be attending the Society's formal dinner at this year's Annual General Meeting, scheduled for October 1-3, 2010 in Ottawa. The Annual Meeting itself will be held at the Delta Ottawa Hotel on Queen Street. The Saturday evening dinner will take place at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec), which will provide a grand setting for our annual banquet, graced as it will be with these impressive “guests”. We are indeed grateful to David Rumball for organizing this event, and for arranging with the museum to have the Queen's Beasts available for the dinner. I encourage our members to make the necessary calendar and travel to enhance the “coolness” factor of the Society in order to attract arrangements to attend this splendid event. new members – and to retain our present ones. One important reason for having the AGM in Ottawa this year As an example, at the recent Toronto Branch AGM (combined (rather than being hosted by the Prairie Branch, as it would have with the Society's Board meeting earlier the same day) the been in the usual sequence) is the expectation that the new formal dinner at Hart House was visually recorded by a Canadian Heraldic Authority tabard (donated by the Society) photographer I had arranged as my guest.

Mackie Previously in this journal I described how Canada has received armorial law from England.1 Yet as the former Lord Lyon King of Arms, Lyon Blair, observed, 'The legislation creating the Canadian heraldic office allows them to create arms which are subject to "the law of Canada". Now, Canada has a series of differing laws, emanating from each province, some based on French legal principles, and others on English legal principles.2 The question then arises, does this series of differing laws affect the law of arms of Canada? To answer this question, I will first examine just what laws of arms the provinces of Canada have received (and, incidentally, whether their courts are empowered to administer these laws).

  • Alikomiak and Tatamigana: Justice and Injustice in the Canadian Arctic
    Alikomiak and Tatamigana: Justice and Injustice in the Canadian Arctic by Lisa Beiler A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2016 © Lisa Beiler 2016 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract In 1922, two Inuit men—Alikomiak and Tatamigana—were arrested on the Coronation Gulf near Tree River in connection with the killing of six other Inuit. While in Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) custody, Alikomiak killed the arresting RCMP officer as well as a Hudson’s Bay Company trapper who lived at the post. These killings set off a judicial process that would see both Inuinnait men tried and hanged on Herschel Island, Yukon, in the first criminal trial and execution of Inuit held in the Canadian Arctic. Through a microhistorical analysis, this thesis addresses the following questions: What do the trials of Alikomiak and Tatamigana reveal about the larger social fabric of Inuinnait culture in the early part of the twentieth century? How does Inuinnait culture intersect with the broader social and political imperatives at play in 1920s Canada? After interrogating the wealth of archival evidence (i.e., statements, trial transcripts, correspondence, and ethnographic reports) many salient aspects of Inuinnait culture emerge, including attitudes towards marriage, infanticide, and the role of anger and sanctioned killing in Inuit society.

Studying the word’s meaning casts light on a peculiar indigenous territoriality, and on the centrality of environment in Inuit ways of life and holism thinking. The Inuit conceptualize their inhabiting of the circumpolar region in a way radically opposed to Western narratives of wilderness or wasteland. In the late twentieth century, nuna was turned into a key compo- nent of identity politics. Inuit peoples linguistically reappropriated their lands, in parallel with formal land claims and the recognition of Inuit self-governed territories. Nuna is at the core of these processes, as the concept justifies the claims for recognition of vernacular toponyms, and the vocable itself was included in the names of Inuit regions.
