  • Missionization and Sḵwxwú7mesh ̱ Political Economy, 1864-1923
    Missionization and Sḵwxwú7mesẖ Political Economy, 1864-1923 by Sean Wilkinson B.A. (History & Economics), Simon Fraser University, 2009 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Wilkinson 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2013 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Canada (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ca/) Approval Name: Sean Wilkinson Degree: Master of Arts (History) Title of Thesis: Missionization and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Political Economy, 1864-1923 Examining Committee: Chair: Jay Taylor, Professor Mary-Ellen Kelm Senior Supervisor Professor J.I. Little Co-Supervisor Professor Rudy Reimer/Yumḵs Internal Examiner Assistant Professor Date Defended/Approved: 17 January 2012 ii Abstract This thesis describes the relationship between Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-speaking people of present-day North Vancouver and the Oblates of Mary Immaculate in the period between 1864 and 1923. It presents the argument that the mission that the Oblates and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh mutually founded in the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh settlement of Eslhá7an (in present-day North Vancouver) was the most significant point of cultural contact between Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and non-native people during this period. Reading Sḵwx̱wú7mesh history during this period as primarily a story of responses to colonization, it argues that some of the most important Sḵwx̱wú7mesh political and diplomatic strategies, including external strategies of resistance and accommodation as well as internal strategies of political economy, were linked to trans-cultural experiences centred at Eslhá7an. It concludes by suggesting that the emergence of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh nationalism, culminating in the establishment of the modern Squamish Nation, may have been driven by these Eslhá7an-based political strategies.
