It focusses on a single province – Alberta – and utilizes an inter-disciplinary approach to understand how the interaction between the biological and the psychosocial conditions of the schools contributed to both immediate and chronic health problems for Aboriginal students. Through an examination of nutrition, sanitation, disease, healthcare interventions, and mental health in the schools, it is seen that any “progress” the Department made in regards to the health of students was circular.

  • Education Work: Canadian Schools and the Emergence of Indigenous Social Movements
    EDUCATION WORK: CANADIAN SCHOOLS AND THE EMERGENCE OF INDIGENOUS SOCIAL MOVEMENTS BY CAMERON RIOPELLE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Monica McDermott, Chair Associate Professor Zsuzsa Gille Associate Professor Rebecca Sandefur Associate Professor Jodi Byrd Associate Professor Michael Kral, Wayne State University ABSTRACT This dissertation explores 20th century Canadian assimilationist educational systems and the emergence of contemporary indigenous social movements. It focuses on the ways in which schools contributed to transformations in identities and the division of labor in indigenous communities at the local scale, and, conversely, how the state transformed the division of labor for indigenous peoples. Finally, I examine how shared experiences and symbols from resistance to these schooling processes were used by indigenous activists in the construction of indigenous social movements pushing for indigenous land rights and sovereignty. Each substantive chapter of this dissertation reflects a different site that helps illustrate these processes at work. First, I detail the genocidal consequences of transformations in the division of labor in the first half of the twentieth century. Next, I examine vocational training programs for Residential School students and the ways in which labor, gender, and morality interacted in the mid-twentieth century. I then study efforts by a local indigenous community to have a day school built after forced relocation to a reserve without a school. After that, I study racialized integrated schooling efforts and the use of quota systems for the admittance of indigenous children in public schools in the 1950s and 1960s.

COWALL, DHMSA, M.Sc. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by E. Emily S. Cowall, November 2011 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2011) McMaster University (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Puvaluqatatiluta, When We Had Tuberculosis: St. Luke's Mission Hospital and the Inuit of the Cumberland Sound Region, 1930–1972 AUTHOR: E. Emily S. Cowall, DHMSA (Society of Apothecaries), M.Sc. (University of Edinburgh) SUPERVISOR: Professor D. Ann Herring NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 183 ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the history of Church- and State-mediated tuberculosis treatment for Inuit of the Cumberland Sound region from 1930 to 1972. Pangnirtung’s St. Luke’s Mission Hospital sits at the centre of this discussion and at the nexus of archival evidence and regional Inuit knowledge about tuberculosis. Triangulating information gained from fieldwork, archives, and a community-based photograph naming project, this study brings together the perspectives of Inuit hospital workers, nurses, doctors, and patients, as well as of Government and Anglican-Church officials, during the tuberculosis era in the Cumberland Sound. The study arose from conversations with Inuit in Pangnirtung, who wondered why they were sent to southern sanatoria in the 1950s for tuberculosis treatment, when the local hospital had been providing treatment for decades. Canadian Government policy changes, beginning in the 1940s, changed the way healthcare was delivered in the region. The Pangnirtung Photograph Naming Project linked photos of Inuit patients sent to the Hamilton Mountain Sanatorium to day-book records of St.

  • Campbell Drohan – FNIS 100 the Hidden History of Canada's Indian
    Campbell Drohan – FNIS 100 The Hidden History of Canada’s Indian Hospitals Over the past decade, the Canadian state has begun to publicly address its troubled history of colonialism and marginalization of Indigenous peoples, as Indigenous issues have begun to permeate the national consciousness. The Idle No More movement, the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), and the activism surrounding missing and murdered Indigenous women are just a few examples of how the voices, concerns, and histories of Indigenous peoples in Canada have begun to be heard. However, one aspect of Indigenous history in Canada that is not frequently discussed is the Indian hospital system. Although the Indian Hospitals are no longer in operation, it is only through understanding the history of Indigenous healthcare in Canada that the healthcare disparities that currently exist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians can be addressed. Despite having some of the best health outcomes in the world, Canada’s Aboriginal population experiences poorer health status compared to the population at large1. These disparities are rooted in the colonial past (and present) of Canada, and through examining the tumultuous history of healthcare delivery for Indigenous peoples, we can begin the process of reconciliation. History of the Institutions The Indian Hospital system was a network of racially segregated federal healthcare institutions for Indigenous peoples that existed from the 1930s to the 1970s2. Beginning in the late 19th century, the Department of Indian Affairs oversaw all health and healthcare initiatives aimed at Indigenous peoples. Beginning in 1936, the DIA began to offer healthcare services to First Nations, and occasionally Metis and Inuit, peoples through a system of federally operated Indian hospitals that were mainly located in the south.

  • 11 Relocation of Aboriginal Communities
    Volume 1 - Looking Forward Looking Back PART TWO False Assumptions and a Failed Relationship 11 Relocation of Aboriginal Communities AS EUROPEANS ARRIVED on the shores of North America, one of the principal effects on Aboriginal peoples, almost from the beginning of contact, was physical displacement from their traditional hunting and fishing territories and residential locations. Our overview of the history of Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations in Chapters 3 to 6 revealed that geographical displacement took many forms. While the Beothuk are believed to have resisted the earliest incursions on their lands, other Aboriginal peoples gave way and moved to locations more distant from the incoming Europeans. As we have seen, some nations were drawn into French/British, British/American and other conflicts of the 1600s and 1700s, and lost their traditional homelands as a direct or indirect result. As settlers replaced soldiers in their territories — often taking over choice coastal, riverfront and agricultural lands — Aboriginal people had to abandon their traditional hunting, fishing and residential lands. They also saw their homelands restricted and often changed as a result of land purchase agreements, the treaty-making process, and the establishment of reserves. In more recent times, the displacement of Aboriginal people has often taken the form of deliberate initiatives by governments to move particular Aboriginal communities for administrative or development purposes. We use the term 'relocations' to describe these forms of displacement, which are the subject of this chapter. As illustrated by the dramatic relocation of Inuit from Inukjuak, Quebec and Pond Inlet on Baffin Island to the High Arctic in the 1950s, and by the current situation of the Mushuau Innu of Labrador in the province of Newfoundland, the relocation of Aboriginal communities continues to be an issue.

    WHITE TERROR, CANADA’S INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS AND THE COLONIAL PRESENT: FROM LAW TOWARDS A PEDAGOGY OF RECOGNITION by Leslie Thielen-Wilson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Leslie Thielen-Wilson 2012 WHITE TERROR, CANADA’S INDIAN RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS AND THE COLONIAL PRESENT: FROM LAW TOWARDS A PEDAGOGY OF RECOGNITION Doctor of Philosophy 2012 Leslie Thielen-Wilson Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto ABSTRACT What does it mean to say that settler states have a colonial present? In this thesis, I first draw upon the anti-colonial theory of Frantz Fanon (1963, 1967) and contemporary anti- colonial theorists, to understand the nature of colonial power and settler occupation. I develop the theoretical framework of “white terror as colonial force field” structured by the triadic relation of land—terror—white identity, and emphasize that any given site within a colonial force field must be understood as systematically interrelated with other sites, maintained by a settler collectivity. The old European political rationality of “possessive individualism,” the historical rationale for not only capitalist accumulation but modern liberal law, government, and sovereignty, is especially useful for tracing interconnections (symbolic and material) among sites within a colonial force field. This ideology functions, in Fanon’s words, to “bring settler and native into being” through processes which dehumanize the latter as property. Marking the Indigenous collective as inherently damaged, reconstitutes the settler collective as legitimate occupiers of land.

  • The Nanaimo and Charles Camsell Indian Hospitals: First Nations’ Narratives of Health Care, 1945 to 1965
    NOTE DE RECHERCHE / RESEARCH NOTE The Nanaimo and Charles Camsell Indian Hospitals: First Nations’ Narratives of Health Care, 1945 to 1965 LAURIE MEIJER DREES* First Nations’ perspectives on health and health care as delivered by doctors, nurses, and Canada’s former Indian hospital system form a significant part of Canada’s medical history, as well as a part of First Nations people’s personal histories. Oral histories collected in Alberta and British Columbia suggest that First Nations people who experienced the Nanaimo and Charles Camsell Indian hospitals between 1945 and 1965 perceive the value of their experiences to be reflected in their survivance, a concept recalled through narratives emphasizing both humour and pain, as well as past and present personal resilience. Les perspectives des Premie`res nations sur les services et les soins de sante´ dispense´s par les me´decins, les infirmie`res et l’ancien re´seau d’hoˆpitaux indiens du Canada sont un pan important de l’histoire me´dicale du Canada et de l’histoire personnelle des membres des Premie`res nations. Les histoires orales qui ont e´te´ recueillies en Alberta et en Colombie-Britannique semblent indiquer que les gens des Premie`res nations qui ont fait l’expe´rience des hoˆpitaux indiens de Nanaimo et Charles Camsell entre 1945 et 1965 estiment que la valeur de leurs expe´riences se refle`te dans leur survie, un concept repris par des re´cits mettant l’accent a` la fois sur l’humour et la douleur, et dans leur re´silience personnelle passe´eetpre´sente.
