  • Social Exclusion and the Labrdor Experience: Shaping
    SOCIAL EXCLUSION AND THE LABRDOR EXPERIENCE: SHAPING THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPE By LISA DENSMORE Integrated Studies Project submitted to Dr. ANGELA SPECHT in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta FEBRUARY, 2013 Social Exclusion and the Labrador Experience: A Culture of Indifference Abstract This study began because I observed that many people in Labrador were forming specific interest groups in order to do three things: to counter the intent of government especially when government intent did not align with specific group intent; to hinder the advancement of other groups with whom one might have differing goals; and, to compete for potentially scarce resources. Formation of specific interest groups did aim to achieve social change but the competitive nature of group formation did not seem healthy, reasonable, or productive in achieving broader community goals. In this paper, I examine the complex historical, social and political relationships in Labrador to understand how complex and varied governance structures and social exclusion have contributed to this challenging political and social landscape in Labrador. In particular, this study has three goals: first, it examines how the political and social landscapes of Labrador have been shaped historically. Second, explores how varying levels of government responded to the many challenges created by community organizations and group affiliation; and third it critically interrogates the role that social exclusion has played in creating a political and social landscape that encompasses so many different groups and organization. Through careful review of the Labrador through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s conference proceedings and the Provincial Northern Strategic Plan, I examine the complex relationships between historical, social, and political exclusion that has shaped and continues to shape Labrador’s social, political, cultural and economic landscapes.

  • Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory
    Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 CAUT Guide to Acknowledging First Peoples & Traditional Territory September 2017 The following document offers the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) recommended territorial acknowledgement for institutions where our members work, organized by province. While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.

  • Métis Identity in Canada
    Métis Identity in Canada by Peter Larivière A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015, Peter Larivière Abstract The understanding and acknowledgement of Aboriginal rights has grown in importance within Canada as a result of the ever changing legal landscape and as Aboriginal groups more forcefully confront decades of colonial rule to assert their historic rights. While this has predominantly come out of First Nations issues, there has been a gradual increase in the rights cases by Métis communities. Primary among these was the 2003 Supreme Court of Canada Powley decision which introduced how Métis identity and community identification are key in a successful litigation claim by Métis. This research considers questions surrounding the contentious nature of Métis identity including how Métis see themselves and how their understandings are prescribed by others including the state, through tools such as the Census of Canada. ii Acknowledgements There is always a fear in acknowledging the support of individuals who assisted over the years that someone may be missed. So let me thank all those whose paths I have crossed and who in their own way set the stage for my being in this very place at this time. Without you I would not have made it here and I thank you. There are specific people who I do wish to highlight. My mother and father and my sister and her family all played a role not only in my formative years but continue to be part of my every day.

Purpose of the research Dominant historical narratives about a place and its people — the stories that we tell about ourselves, whether in school or in the media — have widespread impact on our sense of self, our relationships with one another, and even our range of economic possibilities. Southern Inuit from the NunatuKavut region of Labrador have started to challenge the established historical narratives that have been shaped by settler colonialism to reflect dominant interests about the land and its people. The historical re-production of the life and culture of the Southern Inuit has often been portrayed by merchants, doctors, academics and researchers with ambivalence and uncertainty.

  • Number Th Irty-Six Fall 2016
    Number T irty-six Fall 2016 FEATURE SECTION: REFLECTIONS ON THE DANIELS DECISION Jennifer Adese A Tale of Two Constitutions: Métis Nationhood and Section 35(2)’s Impact on Interpretations of Daniels ABSTRACT 36 TOPIA Spurious claims to “Métisness,” or those claiming a Métis identity, have been on the rise since the Daniels decision, wherein the Supreme Court determined some 7 measure of federal responsibility to Métis people. Yet the justices in the decision neither conf rmed nor denied that people making claims to Métisness (often) on the basis of distant Indigenous ancestry, are people for whom federal responsibility extends. T is is due to (what appears on the surface to be) a lack of clarity around the def nition of Métis as it exists in section 35 of the Canadian Constitution of 1982. In light of this, this article of ers a brief discussion of the Powley case, the f rst major Supreme Court decision pertaining to Métis rights and the f rst that sought to of er a pathway for determining who is Métis in the context of section 35(2) “Aboriginal rights.” It then takes a chronological step backwards to the time of constitutional negotiations to discuss the situation of Métis within the category of Aboriginal peoples. T e article then ties this discussion into the recent Supreme Court decision in Daniels v. Canada. I argue that political activists put forth a specif c def nition of Métis rooted in an understanding of Métis nationhood that was not formally entrenched in the 1982 Constitution; this def nition should be embraced and acknowledged to appropriately narrow the meaning of Métis in section 35.
