Abstract This dissertation develops a concept of mnidoo-worlding, whereby consciousness emerges as a kind of possession by what is outside of ‘self’ and simultaneously by what is internal as self-possession. Weaving together phenomenology, post structural philosophy and Ojibwe Anishinaabe orally transmitted knowledges, I examine Ojibwe Anishinaabe mnidoo, or ‘other than human,’ ontologies. Mnidoo refers to energy, potency or processes that suffuse all of existence and includes humans, animals, plants, inanimate ‘objects’ and invisible and intangible forces (i.e. Thunder Beings). Such Anishinaabe philosophies engage with what I articulate as all-encompassing and interpenetrating mnidoo co-responsiveness. -
Recovering Canada: the Resurgence of Indigenous Law
RECOVERING CANADA: THE RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS LAW Canada is ruled by a system of law and governance that largely obscures and ignores the presence of pre-existing Indigenous regimes. Indige- nous law, however, has continuing relevance for both Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state. In this in-depth examination of the continued existence and application of Indigenous legal values, John Borrows suggests how First Nations laws could be applied by Canadian courts, while addressing the difficulties that would likely occur if the courts attempted to follow such an approach. By contrasting and com- paring Aboriginal stories and Canadian case law, and interweaving polit- ical commentary, Borrows argues that there is a better way to constitute Aboriginal-Crown relations in Canada. He suggests that the application of Indigenous legal perspectives to a broad spectrum of issues will help Canada recover from its colonial past, and help Indigenous people recover their country. Borrows concludes by demonstrating how Indige- nous peoples' law could be more fully and consciously integrated with Canadian law to produce a society where two world-views can co-exist and a different vision of the Canadian constitution and citizenship can be created.

Beyond the Role of Drum and Song in Schools: a Storied Approach By
Beyond the Role of Drum and Song in Schools: A Storied Approach by Anna-Leah King A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Educational Policy Studies University of Alberta ©Anna-Leah King, 2016 Abstract My research reflects on the use of drum and song in schools and reveals its significance from an Anishnaabe kwe perspective. A storied approach is used relative to Anishnaabe ways of being and knowing as ‘teachers’ in two forms: debaajimowin (narratives) and antasokannan (tradition or sacred). Stories are a functioning part of both the framework and methodology to present a new and evolving story that is relevant to formal schooling. In addition to inquiring into Anishnaabe stories, Elders teachings, and archival records, autobiographical experiences shaped this inquiry. The analysis was guided by Anishnaabe perspectives, as well as several key questions asked by Justice Sinclair (2014), questions that link identity and culture. Key recommendations in relation to integrating song and drum in relation to formal schooling point to the necessity to be grounded in community and cultural ways of being and knowing. ii Preface This dissertation is an original work of Anna-Leah King. Given the autobiographical and archival nature of the research no ethics permit was necessary. Following aboriginal protocols the close work alongside elders guided the inquiry and writing of this dissertation. iii Dedication To my ancestors before me and the children yet to come. iv Acknowledgment I would like to acknowledge Dr. Vera Caine and Dr. Florence Glanfield for their commitment of work and weekly meetings towards this. -

Mission Life in Cree-Ojibwe Country Our Lives: Diary, Memoir, and Letters
Mission Life in Cree-Ojibwe Country Our Lives: Diary, Memoir, and Letters Social history contests the construction of the past as the story of elites — a grand narrative dedicated to the actions of those in power. Our Lives seeks instead to make available voices from the past that might otherwise remain unheard. By foregrounding the experience of ordinary individuals, the series aims to demonstrate that history is ultimately the story of our lives, lives constituted in part by our response to the issues and events of the era into which we are born. Many of the voices in the series thus speak in the context of political and social events of the sort about which historians have traditionally written. What they have to say fills in the details, creating a richly varied portrait that celebrates the concrete, allowing broader historical settings to emerge between the lines. The series invites materials that are engagingly written and that contribute in some way to our understanding of the relationship between the individual and the collective. Manuscripts that include an introduction or epilogue that contextualizes the primary materials and reflects on their significance will be preferred. series titles A Very Capable Life: The Autobiography of Zarah Petri John Leigh Walters Letters from the Lost: A Memoir of Discovery Helen Waldstein Wilkes A Woman of Valour: The Biography of Marie-Louise Bouchard Labelle Claire Trépanier Man Proposes, God Disposes: Recollections of a French Pioneer Pierre Maturié, translated by Vivien Bosley Xwelíqwiya: The Life of a Stó:lo¯ Matriarch Rena Point Bolton and Richard Daly Mission Life in Cree-Ojibwe Country: Memories of a Mother and Son Elizabeth Bingham Young and E. -

Chapter One INTRODUCTION Studies on the Native Tribes of North
Chapter One INTRODUCTION Studies on the Native tribes of North America is an emerging area of research, interdisciplinary in approach, making inroads into diverse fields like history, anthropology, ethnology, mythology, politics, linguistics and literature. Relegated to anthropology as the study of the past or extinct people, it has received due attention only recently with the academia realizing the incongruity of studying about contemporary people within the ancient field of anthropology and the hard fact that the Natives are not going to vanish. The erroneous idea that Natives would die out had theological and scientific backing. Even a renewed interest in the study of tribal people was not very redeeming because they were studied as ‘exotic curiosities’ or anachronisms in the modern age or the nostalgic remnants of a pristine past or the ‘savage’ fortunate enough to be assimilated into the mainstream. Genuine interest in tribal studies for its own sake emerged only recently. It gained impetus with the plethora of Native writers who emerged towards the end of the century. Literature was a forceful medium to voice their concerns. The past and the present of North America would be shallow and incomplete without tribal study. The emergence of post colonial and post modern theoretical concepts that subvert the ‘centre’ and speak for the marginalized served as a springboard for tribal studies. (though many Native writers resent judging their literature by Western concepts) Postmodernism is highly suspicious towards a global cultural narrative or metanarrative 1 and makes room for a plethora of mini narratives thereby questioning the veracity of the dominant ideology and its manifestations.
