While the entire Project includes a land based portion as well, the marine archaeological assessment focused on the approximately 600 metre long shoreline and in-water areas. For the purposes of the marine archaeological assessment, the limits of the Project area will be confined to the in-water and previously lakefilled areas. The marine archaeological assessment is comprised of background research and in-water archaeological assessment extending 250 m into Lake Ontario. TRCA with support from the City of Toronto, completed an Environmental Study Report (ESR), in accordance with Conservation Ontario’s Class Environmental Assessment for Remedial Flood and Erosion Control Projects (Class EA) to develop a long‐term solution to address the shoreline erosion around Gibraltar Point (TRCA, 2008). Work was conducted under a marine archaeological license (2016-13) held by Scarlett Janusas. The field portion of the archaeological assessment was conducted over a period of days in September and October of 2016 under good conditions.

At theirperipheries, nations and empires assert their power and define their identitywith no certainty of success.Nation-making and border-making are inseparablyintertwined.

  • Being Indian, Being Mk: an Exploration of the Experiences and Ethnic Identities of Indian South African Umkhonto We Sizwe Members
    BEING INDIAN, BEING MK: AN EXPLORATION OF THE EXPERIENCES AND ETHNIC IDENTITIES OF INDIAN SOUTH AFRICAN UMKHONTO WE SIZWE MEMBERS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTERS IN POLITICAL STUDIES Of RHODES UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR: DR SALLY MATTHEWS By Varsha Lalla February 2011 DEDICATED TO My mother Dr Rashiela Ramchandra and my late grandmother Soorijdayi Ramchandra ABSTRACT Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) was a military organization dominated by black Africans. Although it is not generally associated with Indian South Africans, who form a minority in the country, there were Indian MK members. This thesis explores the way in which Indian MK members reconciled aspects of their ethnic identity with their membership of MK. It explores the experiences of two generations of members: those born between 1929 and 1944 and those born between 1960 and 1969. In particular it looks at whether they experienced tensions between their ethnic and political identities. It explores what set these Indian South Africans apart from the rest of the Indian South African community that did not join MK. It also looks at what significant differences there were between different generations of Indian MK members. The research results show that the first generation MK members believe that their MK activities were „the highest form of passive resistance‟. An explanation for this way of referring to their activities could be that this was a way of reconciling tensions between their ethnic and political identities. The first generation was also very critical of the Indian SA community. This could be because they still feel part of this community despite having a strong political consciousness that is different from most of the community.
