  • Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and the Fear of Indigenous (Dis)Order: New Medico-Legal Alliances for Capturing and Managing Indigenous Life in Canada
    Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and the Fear of Indigenous (dis)Order: New Medico-Legal Alliances for Capturing and Managing Indigenous Life in Canada Leslie Sabiston Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Leslie Sabiston All Rights Reserved Abstract Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and the Fear of Indigenous (dis)Order: New Medico-Legal Alliances for Capturing and Managing Indigenous Life in Canada Leslie Sabiston While accounting for less than 5 percent of the Canadian population, Indigenous peoples represent more than 30 percent of the federal prison population of Canada. In a prairie province like Manitoba the numbers are even more extreme, with over three-quarters of the prison population being Indigenous. This contemporary “Indian Problem” has been theorized in recent decades as an outcome of the colonial history of Canada. Indigenous Studies scholarship has critiqued the temporal political imaginary of the subsequent reconciliation discourse that locates colonial violence, and, thus, culpability and responsibility of the Canadian state, to an ‘event’ of history. Such national stories not only diminish the interrogation of ongoing structures of colonial violence but relegate any meaningful political processes of accountability and justice to the dustbin of history. This ‘legacy’ framework of historicizing colonial violence has created fecund conditions for (re)apprehending Indigenous bodies at the junctures of legal and medical reasoning, where questions of punishment, containment and rehabilitation for criminal actions become uneasily blurred with questions of healing and repair of damaged bodies and minds.

  • Voluntary Ethnic Groups and the Canadian Polish Congress' Role In
    Voluntary Ethnic Groups and the Canadian Polish Congress’ Role in Cold War Canada Chris Clements, University of Winnipeg Canada as a nation of immigrants has had a diverse mixture of ethnicity and cultures. The Polish experience in Canada can be demonstrated to have begun in the 1800s. Some of the earliest records show that soldiers participating in the War of 1812 had names that would suggest Polish origins. These same soldiers participated in Lord Selkirk’s colonization project in what is known today as Manitoba. The Polish continued to trickle into Canada in small amounts during the unstable political climate of Poland in the nineteenth century with wars and uprisings over sovereignty and partitioned lands. This trend continued and by the 1870s there was a large Polish community in Toronto that persists today. By the 1880s Polish workers were drawn to Canada after the news of the Canada Pacific Railway spread in Europe. With the Canadian West opening for expansion, the largest wave of Polish immigration began to that date in Canada. At the onset of the First World War in 1914 over 100,000 Poles which consisted mostly of peasants had entered Canada. The immigrants who went west were primarily agricultural workers hoping to achieve North American affluence and return to their native country. In the eastern cities of Canada where the larger, more established Polish communities were situated, general aid societies began with official and unofficial associations becoming the initial examples of organized Polish groups in Canada.1 The Canadian Polish Congress (CPC) was formed in 1944 as an umbrella structure of originations designed to represent Poles of Canada.
