Few scholarly works have been written from a historical perspective analyzing the relationship between these collective groups, exploring the intersection, and the divergence of various groups. Moreover, the majority of Indian and White relations' scholarship analyzes the relationship between Indigenous collectives/communities and the State. Using the Company of Young Canadians (CYC) as a case study, Shifting the Balance seeks to examine the interconnection between youth activists and Indigenous activists by attending to where Native and non-Native youth activists intersected ideologically, and/or where these intersections manifested either directly or indirectly in praxis. In particular, this study examines how Indigenous media was an instrumental tool of Indigenous activism. My thesis will address these key dynamics in an effort to fill one of the more obvious gaps in existing 60s scholarship, and will also provide another means of deepening our understanding of Native and non-native relations. Keywords: Company of Young Canadians (CYC), Indigenous activism, youth activism, student activism, alliances, Akwesasne Notes, Kenomadiwin News, Challenge for Change, Red Power ii Acknowledgements Without the guidance and support of so many wonderful people this thesis would not have been possible. I wish to honour those people who have inspired and helped me throughout this process. I am very fortunate to have had Joan Sangster as my supervisor, a person whom I have such great admiration for, and whose academic work has influenced me immeasurably over the years. A warm thank you to Carol Williams, who encouraged me to have faith in my abilities and showed me that research and contributing to scholarship, is something worth doing. Certainly my committee members, Bryan Palmer and John Milloy, exemplify what it means to strive for excellence in scholarship. I am grateful to the Frost Centre at Trent University and for the financial support received from the Symons Trust Fund. This funding was key in helping me with the costs of doing archival research. To the staff at the National Archives of Canada in Ottawa thank you. In particular, Gloria Mackenzie, whose expertise and professionalism helped me navigate, with relative ease, the seemingly unwieldy realm that is the National Archives. To Andre D'Ulisse at the National Film Board Archives 'un grand merci pour ton hospitalite.' Research is 'so much better' when you work with capable and knowledgeable people. A special thank you goes to my friend and intellectual resource David Tough, who 'put me up' and 'put up with me' while I was conducting research in Ottawa. To my family and friends, who encouraged me and listened to my ramblings, you are truly the best. In particular, I wish to thank my mother Sheila for her unfailing love and support. A special thank you also to John Mather whose professional expertise helped me to pull together this document. Nothing worth doing is easy; this adage has proven too true. iii Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii Table of contents iv Introduction 1 1 Structure 5 Sources and Methods 7 The Influence of SUPA and the New Left, 1960-65 8 The Student Neestow Partnership Project: Organizing in Indigenous Communities 13 Indigenous Activism, Red Power, and the CIYC 17 2 Overview of the Company of Young Canadians 24 The Formation of the CYC, 1965-1966 24 Membership: Who joined the CYC? 27 Media, Government and Public Responses to the CYC 29 The Philosophy and Structure of the CYC 36 3 Indigenous Projects and the CYC 42 Emergent and Undefined Indigenous CYC Projects 44 Community Development Indigenous Projects 50 Controversial Indigenous CYC Projects 55 CYC Projects in Education: The North American Indian Travelling College and Rochdale College 85 Conclusion 105 4 Indigenous Print and Audio Media and the CYC 107 The LightBulb/Kenomadiwin News 111 Kenomadiwin Radio 127 Akwesasne Notes/News 134 The Honey Bucket 146 Conclusion 149 5 Film and the CYC, Making Culture 151 NFB Challenge for Change 152 Joint CC and CYC Film Initiatives 156 The Indian Film Crew 159 Loon Lake 166 You Are On Indian Land 172 The Ballad of Crowfoot 179 The Audio Taping Sessions in the NWT 183 6 Conclusion 193 Bibliography 198 iv Introduction The sixties and seventies were a time of protests, civil unrest and, in some countries, revolutions. These movements for social change were simultaneously ideological and expressed in praxis. Dissident voices galvanized youth activists, who were responding to perceived social injustices, including those perpetuated by the Canadian state. Yet, the state also stimulated these calls for change by encouraging organized youth projects; even the rhetoric of the Pearson and Trudeau governments advocated 'participatory democracy.'1 The sixties were also a time when 'youth'2 took on increasing importance in Canadian society. Not only was youth articulated in the media as a separate interest group; it was also conceived of as the repository of society's new leaders and visionaries, in an era of social action and participatory democracy. Student and youth organizations, active since the late 1950s, gained currency and membership in Canada.3 Optimism permeated the federal government's discussions of youth radicalism, with the government advocating that participatory democracy could, and should, be part of a new age of Canadian nationalism; the government also recognized that youth radicalism was a rising force. In the spring of 1965, then Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson delivered an impassioned speech to the House of Commons announcing the Liberal government's 1 Participatory democracy is a process of direct consultation that enables citizens to be full participants in decision-making processes that affect their lives, rather than solely through representative democracy. See Students for a Democratic Society, The Port Huron Statement (Chicago 1962), 6 for a discussion of participatory democracy. See Martin Loney, "A political economy of citizen participation," in The Canadian State: Political Economy and Political Power, ed. Leo Panitch, (Toronto 1977), 446-472 for a critique of participatory democracy and state cooption. 2 See Cynthia Comacchio, The Dominion of Youth: Adolescence and the Making of a Modern Canada, 1920-50 (Waterloo 2006) for a discussion on the concept of youth in Canada. John and Margaret Rowntree, "The Political Economy of Youth," Our Generation, 6/1-2 (1968): 155-187. 3 Groups such as the Combined Universities Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CUCND), formed in the late 1950s, expanded from a single-issue organization to become SUPA in 1964. The Canadian Indian Youth Council (CIYC) formed in the early 1960s. 1 intention to form a new and extraordinary youth organization. In the second reading of Bill C-174, Pearson's oratory expounded that the Company of Young Canadians4 was to be "experimental as well as responsible in its approach to problems... not afraid to move into new and creative areas of social action.. .in the battle against poverty, disease, deprivation and inequality wherever these may exist in our country."5 One of five new government programs to fight the "war on poverty,"6 the CYC, armed with its lofty goals, was touted as shining proof of the federal government's belief in 'participatory democracy.' A year later, the Company of Young Canadians was established through an act of Parliament, assented to on the 11th of July 1966.

  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

As Canadians collectively adapted to the postwar world, authorities urged them to create strong, united families as the foundation upon which the nation depended. An idealized vision of home and family domesticated and subordinated women, and served to entrench and consolidate the dominance of white, middle-class, heterosexual, and patriarchal values.

    SELECTED CANADIAN HISTORICAL INTELLIGENCE ELEMENTS Well into the Cold War, elements of intelligence history shaped Canada's development as a country. This list of elements is not exhaustive, but provides a good starting point for students and teachers alike to dig down into key historical events, and do their own investigations into the role played by espionage in Canadian history. This website, and this list, focus on the early years of Canadian history and foreign intelligence. More recently, “security intelligence” has dominated the headlines and the news, especially since the 1984 formation of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). As these recent matters are those of a mature country managing security issues, they fall outside the mandate of this project. However, some sources are provided at the end to provide background to researchers interested in security intelligence issues. 18TH CENTURY NORTH AMERICA George Washington & The Seven Years War George Washington enters Fort Le Boeuf in the Ohio Valley to deliver a message from Virginia Governor Robert Dinwiddie, ordering the French to leave the valley.
