The linguistic shift of the yoremnokki language is a fact; to study this phenomenon, an ethnographic study was carried out in 2019 in the North of Sinaloa, Mexico in the yoreme mayo region. We found that there are more factors for the displacement of the yoremnokki language than there are for its maintenance. The centennial restriction generational transmission is one of the factors that most influence the movement of the linguistic yoremnokki; although the yoreme mayo population grew from 1985 to date, in proportion to the total population, it is decreasing. There are fewer and fewer spaces in their domain; the last refuge is that of festivals and rituals. New spaces have been opened, radio, telephones, internet and higher education, but they are limited.

INTRODUCTION In the ground-breaking case of Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia2 the Supreme Court of Canada recognized and affirmed Aboriginal title under section 35(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982.3 It held that the Tsilhqot’in Nation possess constitutionally protected rights to certain lands in central British Columbia.4 In drawing this conclusion the Tsilhqot’in secured a declaration of “ownership rights similar to those associated with fee simple, including: the right to decide how the land will be used; the right of enjoyment and occupancy of the land; the right to possess the land; the right to the economic benefits of the land; and the right to pro-actively use and manage the land”.5 These are wide-ranging rights.

  • FNESS Strategic Plan
    Strategic Plan 2013-2015 At a Glance FNESS evolved from the Society of Native Indian Fire Fighters of BC (SNIFF), which was established in 1986. SNIFF’s initial objectives were to help reduce the number of fire-related deaths on First Nations reserves, but it changed its emphasis to incorporate a greater spectrum of emergency services. In 1994, SNIFF changed its name to First Nations’ Emergency Services Society of BC to reflect the growing diversity of services it provides. Today our organization continues to gain recognition and trust within First Nations communities and within Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) and other organizations. This is reflected in both the growing demand of service requests from First Nations communities and the development of more government-sponsored programs with FNESS. r e v Ri k e s l A Inset 1 Tagish Lake Teslin 1059 Daylu Dena Atlin Lake 501 Taku River Tlingit r e v Liard Atlin Lake i R River ku 504 Dease River K Fort a e Nelson T r t 594 Ts'kw'aylaxw e c iv h R ik River 686 Bonaparte a se a 687 Skeetchestn e D Fort Nelson R i v e First Nations in 543 Fort Nelson Dease r 685 Ashcroft Lake Dease Lake 592 Xaxli'p British Columbia 593 T'it'q'et 544 Prophet River 591 Cayoose Creek 692 Oregon Jack Creek 682 Tahltan er 683 Iskut a Riv kw r s e M u iv R Finlay F R Scale ra e n iv s i er 610 Kwadacha k e i r t 0 75 150 300 Km S 694 Cook's Ferry Thutade R r Tatlatui Lake i e 609 Tsay Keh Dene v Iskut iv 547 Blueberry River e R Lake r 546 Halfway River 548 Doig River 698 Shackan Location

  • Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: a Community-Based Participatory Research
    Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: A Community-Based Participatory Research Sonia Périllat-Amédée School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal April 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Sciences Sonia Périllat-Amédée, April 2020 © Abstract Background: In 2018, the First Nation Atikamekw community of Manawan, in Quebec, participated in a Community Mobilization Training for the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Enhancement of community wellness was chosen as one of the measures to determine the impact of the community mobilization process. Wellness assessments tools tend to focus on measuring wellness at individual levels. Indigenous Peoples understand wellness wholistically and centered on social and natural relationships, and on community, thus wellness assessment should also be centered around these dimensions. Objectives: This research aimed to characterize concepts of wellness from youth, intervention workers, and Elders that could serve for community-specific wellness assessment. Methods: This community-based participatory research project employed concept mapping of wellness statements, which were generated through Photovoice with youth (n=6) and talking circles with intervention workers (n=9) and Elders (n=10). A final set of 84 wellness statements was selected and refined. Participants sorted each statement into thematic groups and rated them based on the priority of addressing the statement and the feasibility of implementing it. Concept maps were created using Concept Systems Global Max software based on sorting proximity and ratings calculations. Participants discussed the results at in-person interpretation sessions and named the wellness concept thematic groups.

Silva Charles R. Hale David Wilkins Roberta Hill Juan de Dios Yapita Narrating Native Histories aims to foster a rethinking of the ethical, methodological, and conceptual frameworks within which we locate our work on Native histories and cultures. We seek to create a space for effective and ongoing conversations between North and South, Natives and non- Natives, academics and activists, throughout the Americas and the Pacific region. This series encourages analyses that contribute to an understanding of Native peoples’ relationships with nation- states, including histo- ries of expropriation and exclusion as well as projects for autonomy and sovereignty. We encourage collaborative work that recognizes Native intellectuals, cultural inter- preters, and alternative knowledge producers, as well as projects that question the relationship between orality and literacy. skin for skin DEATH AND LIFE FOR INUIT AND INNU GERALD M.

  • Restorative Justice Policy in Context: a Legal‑Archaeological Analysis
    Int J Semiot Law https://doi.org/10.1007/s11196-020-09747-0 Restorative Justice Policy in Context: A Legal‑Archaeological Analysis Giuseppe Maglione1 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper provides an original, in-depth analysis of English and Welsh criminal and penal policy on restorative justice. By using a historically-discursive approach— legal archaeology—this study frstly outlines the overarching representations of restorative justice within policy, unpacking their internal organisation. Then, it inter- prets such patterns of knowledge in light of specifc cultural, political and profes- sional transformations involving the Anglo-Welsh criminal justice feld over the last 30 years. Along these lines, it generates a historically documented policy map whilst problematising the taken-for-granted images of restorative justice which populate regulations, codes and laws. This has implications for the study of the relationships between restorative justice policy and practice and for future research on the insti- tutionalisation of this ‘new’ frontier of penality. More generally, the exploration of (unexpected) links between policy, politics and culture, provides material for a criti- cal assessment of how state agencies appropriate community-based and practice-led forms of justice. Keywords Restorative justice · Reparation · Legal archaeology · Discourses · England and Wales 1 Introduction Criminologists and legal scholars have hailed restorative justice (RJ) as one of the most ‘signifcant developments in criminal justice and criminological practice and thinking’ [21: 19] over the last 30 years, globally. Although defnitions of RJ are contested [68], there is a recurrent assumption delimiting this concept: people directly involved in a crime should have a say on how to deal with its consequences [10, 132, 139].

  • Dictionary of the Chuj (Mayan) Language
    A DICTIONARY OF THE CHUJ (MAYAN) LANGUAGE As Spoken in San Mateo Ixtatán, Huehuetenango, Guatemala ca. 1964-65 CHUJ – ENGLISH WITH SOME SPANISH GLOSSES Nicholas A. Hopkins, Ph. D. © Jaguar Tours 2012 3007 Windy Hill Lane Tallahassee, Florida 32308 [email protected] i A DICTIONARY OF THE CHUJ (MAYAN) LANGUAGE: INTRODUCTION Nicholas A. Hopkins The lexical data reported in this Chuj-English dictionary were gathered during my dissertation field work in 1964-65. My first exposure to the Chuj language was in 1962, when I went to Huehuetenango with Norman A. McQuown and Brent Berlin to gather data on the languages of the Cuchumatanes (Berlin et al. 1969). At the time I was a graduate student at the University of Texas, employed as a research assistant on the University of Chicago's Chiapas Study Projects, directed by McQuown (McQuown and Pitt-Rivers 1970). Working through the Maryknoll priests who were then the Catholic clergy in the indigenous areas of Huehuetenango and elsewhere in Guatemala, we recorded material, usually in the form of 100-word Swadesh lists (for glottochronology), from several languages. The sample included two speakers of the Chuj variety of San Mateo Ixtatán (including the man who was later to become my major informant). In the Spring of 1962, as field work for the project wound down, I returned to Austin to finish drafting my Master's thesis, and then went on to Chicago to begin graduate studies in Anthropology at the University of Chicago, with McQuown as my major professor. I continued to work on Chiapas project materials in McQuown's archives, and in 1963 he assigned me the Chuj language as the topic of my upcoming doctoral dissertation.

Across this broad range of territory, a wide array of indigenous groups lived during the Sixteenth Century. Domingo Lázaro de Arregui, in his Descripción de la Nueva Galicia - published in 1621 - wrote that 72 languages were spoken in the Spanish colonial province of Nueva Galicia.
