It could be sitting around a campfire, preparing dry fish and listening to the wisdom of Elders. It could be studying for certification, a college diploma or university degree. Orit could be volunteering for a local grassroots organization. There is no end to the remarkable successes and accomplishments among Aboriginal people in our region, our province and across our country. Pathways captures these stories and connects with First Nations and Métis people making positive contributions in their communities, bringing new perspectives to the table and influencing change in our society.

  • Introduction One Setting the Stage
    Notes Introduction 1. For further reference, see, for example, MacKay 2002. 2. See also Engle 2010 for this discussion. 3. I owe thanks to Naomi Kipuri, herself an indigenous Maasai, for having told me of this experience. 4. In the sense as this process was first described and analyzed by Fredrik Barth (1969). 5. An in-depth and updated overview of the state of affairs is given by other sources, such as the annual IWGIA publication, The Indigenous World. 6. The phrase refers to a 1972 cross-country protest by the Indians. 7. Refers to the Act that extinguished Native land claims in almost all of Alaska in exchange for about one-ninth of the state’s land plus US$962.5 million in compensation. 8. Refers to the court case in which, in 1992, the Australian High Court for the first time recognized Native title. 9. Refers to the Berger Inquiry that followed the proposed building of a pipeline from the Beaufort Sea down the Mackenzie Valley in Canada. 10. Settler countries are those that were colonized by European farmers who took over the land belonging to the aboriginal populations and where the settlers and their descendents became the majority of the population. 11. See for example Béteille 1998 and Kuper 2003. 12. I follow the distinction as clarified by Jenkins when he writes that “a group is a collectivity which is meaningful to its members, of which they are aware, while a category is a collectivity that is defined according to criteria formu- lated by the sociologist or anthropologist” (2008, 56).

  • Falls Around Her
    Baswewe Films and The Film Farm Present FALLS AROUND HER Starring Tantoo Cardinal Written and Directed by Darlene Naponse PRESS KIT SYNOPSIS Falls Around Her follows Mary Birchbark (Tantoo Cardinal), a legendary singer who returns to the vast wilderness of her reserve to reconnect with the land and her community. Mary begins to sense that someone might be watching her. Unsure of what is real and what is imagined, Mary embraces isolation as she explores the psychological impact of her past and present. PRODUCTION NOTES Work and Walk in a Good Way Honour the Seven Grandfathers teachings: Honesty – Wisdom – Respect – Bravery – Humility – Truth – Love Those words and several others would accompany Falls Around Her’s first callsheet and would be included in every callsheet during the shoot. For the Anishinaabe people, the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers is a set of teachings on human conduct toward others. As film crews employ many people from several different backgrounds, it’s a daily reminder to treat all creation with respect. And cast and crew took those words to heart every day and it contributed to a joyful set. Even more amazing given that there was a mix of crew of indigenous and non-indigenous people. The crew for Falls Around Her became an amalgamation of Toronto and Atikameksheng Anishnawbek/Sudbury/North Bay crews along with many indigenous locals. For the locals, it was the biggest production to ever have its home base on the reservation, and they were prepared for the challenge and the collective hard work of all is reflected on-screen.

Through a content analysis of Arc c Air and its associated paratext, read in relaƟ on to the stock Canadian literary fi gure of the heroic bush pilot, this arƟ cle argues that when viewed on the CBC, the program visually “Indigenizes” the bush pilot character, but suggests only one way forward for Indigenous people. On the “naƟ onal broadcaster,” the imagined urban, mulƟ cultural North of Arc c Air—in which Indigenous people are one cultural group among others parƟ cipaƟ ng in commercial ventures—serves to normalize resource development and extracƟ on. Broadcast on APTN, however, where the show appears in the context of programming that represents Indigenous people in a wide range of roles, genres, and scenarios, Arc c Air takes on new meaning.

  • Indigenous Women from Alberta You Should Know About
    Edmonton Vital Signs is an annual checkup conducted by Indigenous Edmonton Community Foundation, in partnership with Edmonton Social Planning Council, to measure how the community is doing. Vital Topics are a quick look at a single issue and are timely and important to Edmonton. W MEN Unless otherwise stated, “Edmonton” refers to Census Metropolitan Area and not solely the City of Edmonton. in ALBERTA The Indigenous population in Alberta is INCREASING1.5 X MORE QUICKLY than the rest of the population.

Canada still discriminates on the basis of sex when it comes to the Indian Act. Early in 2019 the United Nations called on Canada to remove the sections that do not give First Nations women the same rights as First Nations men. While consultations have begun with the First Nations, the UN says there needs to be an end date. CONTEXTUAL TERMS For the purpose of this report, references to “Indigenous” people should be understood as including First Nations, Métis and Inuit, non-status and status, on and off-reserve, recognizing that the term refers to distinct people, cultures and each with their own histories. In some cases where the research uses the word “Aboriginal,” we have chosen to substitute “Indigenous.” Resilience is a dynamic process of social/psychological adaptation and Intergenerational trauma is the transmission of historical oppression and transformation that occurs in individuals, families, communities or larger its negative consequences across generations.

  • “In Principle”: Sto:Lo Political Organizations and Attitudes Towards Treaty Since 1969
    “In Principle”: Sto:lo Political Organizations and Attitudes Towards Treaty Since 1969 By Byron Plant Term Paper History 526 May 6 - June 7 2002 Sto:lo Ethnohistory Field School Instructors: Dr. John Lutz and Keith Carlson Due: Friday, 5 July 2002 1 This essay topic was initially selected from those compiled by the Sto:lo Nation and intended to examine Sto:lo attitudes towards treaty since 1860. While certainly a pertinent and interesting question to examine, two difficulties arose during my initial research. One was the logistical question of condensing a century and a half of change into such a short paper while at the same time giving due consideration to the many social, political, and economic changes of that time. Two, little to no work has been done on tracing how exactly Sto:lo political attitudes have been voiced over time. While names such as the East Fraser District Council, Chilliwack Area Indian Council, and Coqualeetza regularly appear throughout documentary and oral sources, no one has actually outlined what these organizations were, why they formed, and where they went. Consequently, through consultation and several revisions with Dave Smith, Keith Carlson, and John Lutz, the scope of the paper was narrowed down to the period from 1969 to the present and opened up to questions about Sto:lo political and administrative organizations. Through study of the motivations, ideals, and legacies of these organizations and their participants, I hope to then examine treaty attitudes and to what extent treaties influenced Sto:lo political activity over the past thirty years. In hindsight, I can see how study of any individual Sto:lo organization is capable of constituting a full paper in itself.

  • Community Economic Development ~ Indigenous Engagement Strategy for Momentum, Calgary Alberta 2016
    Community Economic Development ~ Indigenous Engagement Strategy for Momentum, Calgary Alberta 2016 1 Research and report prepared for Momentum by Christy Morgan and Monique Fry April 2016 2 Executive Summary ~ Momentum & Indigenous Community Economic Development: Two worldviews yet working together for change Momentum is a Community Economic Development (CED) organization located in Calgary, Alberta. Momentum partners with people living on low income to increase prosperity and support the development of local economies with opportunities for all. Momentum currently operates 18 programs in Financial Literacy, Skills Training and Business Development. Momentum began the development of an Indigenous Engagement Strategy (IES) in the spring of 2016. This process included comparing the cultural elements of the Indigenous community and Momentum’s programing, defining success, and developing a learning strategy for Momentum. Data was collected through interviews, community information sessions, and an online survey. The information collected was incorporated into Momentum’s IES. Commonalities were identified between Momentum’s approach to CED based on poverty reduction and sustainable livelihoods, and an Indigenous CED approach based on cultural caring and sharing for collective wellbeing. Both approaches emphasize changing social conditions which result in a community that is better at meeting the needs of all its members. They share a focus on local, grassroots development, are community orientated, and are holistic strength based approaches. The care taken by Momentum in what they do and how they do it at a personal, program and organizational level has parallels to the shared responsibility held within Indigenous communities. Accountability for their actions before their stakeholders and a deep-rooted concern for the wellbeing of others are keystones in both approaches.
