With this word I thank the people who kindly contributed to the realization of this work. In Xavante’s language this word is hepari . Any praise will be insufficient to thank the influence of intellectuals, friends, and family members who contributed so that I could carry out a comparative study on reparation indigenism practiced from Brazil and Canada. The appropriation of many researchers' intellectual thoughts allowed me to understand and discuss this broad field of research from the perspective of power and domination relations that tragically still dictate things in the world. More than others, two anthropologists' work was the great inspiration for this work, my professors Cristhian Teófilo da Silva and Stephen Grant Baines, not to mention Professor Roberto Cardoso de Oliveira. To Professor Cristhian Teófilo da Silva I am grateful for the inspiration, dedication, guidance and trust. Thanks for the trust and collaboration of the Xavante friends from Marãiwatsédé, Rafael Weree and Ana Paula Sabino. Thanks to Chief Derek Maud all people of Lac Seul First Nation for welcoming me into their pleasant land. Thanks to the wise Tom Chisel and the adorable Juliette Blackhawk (in memorian ) for the valuable teachings during Lac Seul's fieldwork. Any thanks would be insufficient to say how vital Robert Kirkham's friendship was to this research's conduct. Since my first insertion into Canada in 2016 and throughout 2017, 2018, and 2019, it is no exaggeration to say that without Bob's support, care, and dedication, the research would not have had the same chances of achieving its results. Because of all this, thanks to Bob and his family. Thanks to Professor Frederico Oliveira and his loving family for all the logistical support during the fieldwork in Canada and for the bibliography related to the subject. Thanks to Lakehead University, to Professor Scott Hamilton and my friend Holly Fleming. I am very grateful to my beloved friends Ana Catarina Zema, Kathy, Allison, Peter Cox, Ian Chaplin, Colleen Burns, Matt Wympory, Virginia Marjury, Holly, Ember-Leigh, Silver Shine, Lubna Yussuf, and all the colleagues of the Ojibwe Language Circle (Orillia), especially Allison Henry, Barb Gale and Peter Cox. I especially thank Luiz Marcos Vasconcelos (in memorian ) and Marina Luz for the precious revision of English and Spanish. Thanks also to Thomas Brokaw and Aina Azevedo for all the sweet conversations, academic advices and songs shared. Thanks to CNPq for the Ph.D. scholarship and CAPES for the sandwich-scholarship that were extremely important for this research. Thanks to FAP –DF for the support that allowed me to present papers at two Canadian conferences. To ABECAN and ICCS, thanks for the financial support that helped improve the fieldwork in Lac Seul. To all the friends and professors of the Department of Latin American Studies. Thanks to the OBIND and LAEPI Research Group for all the works shared. To Liliane and Thaís Fortuna, thanks for the great friendship. Thanks to Maycom Santiago and Bibiana Rosa for the enriching acquaintanceship. Thanks. Thanks to Stéphane Gagnon for keeping my heart beating with the hope of loving days. Thanks to my family, my mother, Amasili, my brother Flávio and my niece Ana Flávia, for their support, affection, and love. Without them, nothing would be possible. To Amasili, Flávio and Ana Flávia. To my father, Roberto (In Memoriam) The Anishinaabe are guided by seven principles: Zah-gi-di-win (love): To know love is to know peace. Ma-na-ji-win (respect): To honour all of creation is to have respect. Aak-de-he-win (bravery): To face life with courage is to know bravery. Gwe-ya-kwaad-zi-win : (honesty): To walk through life with integrity is to know honesty. Dbaa-dem-diz-win (humility): To accept yourself as a sacred part of creation is to know humility. Nbwaa-ka-win (wisdom): To cherish knowledge is to know wisdom. De-bwe-win (truth): To know of these things is to know the truth.

ABSTRACT Colonialism in Brazil and Canada has generated disadvantages for Indigenous Peoples in every aspect of their lives, evidenced by the disparity between these populations and other social segments in a wide range of socioeconomic indicators. The present study proposes a comparison between Brazil and Canada on how these countries present and negotiate policies to settle the debts generated throughout the colonization process, past and present, and as a result of economic development projects. Two cases of historical debt were brought for comparison: the transfer of the Xavante people from Marãiwatsédé in central Brazil, and the flooding of the Anishinaabeg people from Lac Seul First Nation, Northwestern Ontario, Canada. In Canada, the consequences of colonialism for Indigenous Peoples were and still are very similar to those in Brazil; however, how the process of (un)payment of the historical debt has been carried out in this country opens new keys of interpretation for thinking about interethnic relations in the context of global neoliberal capitalism and multiculturalism. In both countries, the political processes of reconciliation and reparation for Indigenous Peoples are directly associated with each country's economic and ideological contexts. However, much Canada has projected itself worldwide as a reference in the field of the policy of reparations towards Indigenous Peoples, the global and neo-liberal capitalist logic prevails in this country, albeit of a multicultural nature, which seeks the economic inclusion of excluded segments of the population under the paradigms of an idea of citizenship aligned with these values and principles. At this point, however, Brazil and Canada are entirely aligned. Keywords: Indigenous Peoples; Reconciliation; Historical Debt; Reparation; Justice. RESUMO A história das políticas coloniais no Brasil e no Canadá tem gerado desvantagens para os povos indígenas em todos os campos, evidenciadas pela disparidade entre essas populações e outros segmentos sociais em uma ampla gama de indicadores socioeconômicos. O presente estudo propõe uma comparação entre o Brasil e o Canadá sobre como esses países apresentam e negociam políticas para pagar as dívidas geradas ao longo dos projetos de desenvolvimento colonial e econômico. Dois casos de dívida histórica foram trazidos para a comparação: a transferência dos Xavante de Marãiwatsédé, da região central do Brazil, e o alagamento dos Anishinaabeg de Lac Seul First Nation, região Noroeste da Província de Ontário, no Canadá. No Canadá, as conseqüências do colonialismo para os povos indígenas foram e ainda são muito semelhantes às do Brasil; entretanto, como o processo de (a)pagamento da dívida histórica tem sido realizado neste país abre novas chaves de interpretação para pensar as relações interétnicas no contexto do capitalismo neoliberal global e do multiculturalismo. Em ambos os países, os processos políticos de reconciliação e reparação para os povos indígenas estão diretamente associados aos contextos econômicos e ideológicos de cada país. Entretanto, muito do Canadá se projetou mundialmente como referência no campo da política de reparação aos povos indígenas, a lógica capitalista global e neoliberal prevalece neste país, embora de natureza multicultural, que busca a inclusão econômica de segmentos excluídos da população sob os paradigmas de uma idéia de cidadania alinhada com estes valores e princípios. Neste ponto, no entanto, o Brasil e o Canadá estão totalmente alinhados. Palavras-chave : Povos indígenas; Reconciliação; Dívida

Studying Indigenous Brazil: The Xavante And The umH an Sciences, 1958-2015 Abstract This dissertation is a history of how Indigenous people and scholars from the natural and social sciences have engaged one another since the 1950s in Brazil. Through a case study of the Xavante, one of the most intensely studied groups in Central Brazil, it traces the evolution of relationships between researchers and research subjects. Xavante communities began establishing contact with Brazilian national society in the mid-1940s in the wake of settler colonial expansionism. This high-profile process of contact drew interest from researchers, with the first long-term academic ethnographer arriving in 1958. Scholars from across the human sciences followed, particularly from the fields of anthropology, human genetics, and public health. During subsequent decades, the Xavante were constructed as a population, characterized, and circulated internationally in the form of data, biological samples, and publications. In this sense, this story provides a thread to follow the development of twentieth-century approaches to the characterization of human cultural and biological diversity.

THE MINNESOTA ASIAN COMMUNITIES ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Asian population of Minnesota has grown dramatically since 1980, and in particular during the period from 1990 to the present. The Asian community is one of the largest and most diverse in the state, and is particularly noteworthy because its growth has been spread across such a wide spectrum of ethnic groups. The Minnesota Historical Society and the Council on Asian Pacific MinnesotansProject formed a partnership to create a series of projects of oral history interviews with Asian community leaders. The projects are intended to help chronicle the history, successes, challenges, and contributions of this diverse and highly important group of Minnesotans. History During the past twenty years the Minnesota Historical Society has successfully worked with many immigrant communities in theOral state toSociety ensure that the stories of their arrival, settlement, and adjustment to life in Minnesota becomes part of the historical record. While the Society has worked with the Asian Indian, Tibetan, Cambodian and Hmong communities in the recent past, the current project includes interviews with members of the Vietnamese, Filipino, Lao and Korean communities, with more planned for the future.

  • Impossibility of Bijective Mapping Between Indigenous and Eurocentric Mathematical Knowledge1 Kécio Gonçalves Leite2 Universid
    doi.org/10.37001/remat25269062v18id603ing eISSN: 2526-9062 Impossibility of bijective mapping between indigenous and Eurocentric mathematical knowledge1 Kécio Gonçalves Leite2 Universidade Federal de Rondônia (UNIR), Departamento de Educação Intercultural, Ji-Paraná, Rondônia, Brazil Quesler Fagundes Camargos3 Universidade Federal de Rondônia (UNIR), Departamento de Educação Intercultural, Ji-Paraná, Rondônia, Brazil Abstract This article aims to discuss the problem of translating mathematical knowledge in the context of indigenous school education, from three aspects: (i) different languages are based on different reference systems, (ii) the logics of different mathematical knowledges are not equivalent, and (iii) there is an impossibility of bijective mapping between sets of indigenous and Eurocentric mathematical knowledges. In this sense, the idea of isomorphic translation associated with prescribed bilingualism is problematized as a characteristic of indigenous school education in Brazil. The theme is explored theoretically and illustrated with the analysis of textual productions of indigenous students of an intercultural licentiate-degree course in the Amazon. As a result, it is shown that the idea of total translation of Eurocentric mathematical knowledge between Portuguese and indigenous languages, inherent in a colonialist conception of school education for indigenous peoples, needs to be overcome, in order to promote the decoloniality of indigenous school education. Key-words: Ethnomathematics; Translation; Indigenous; Decoloniality.

  • Where Is the Voice Coming From?”
    “WHERE IS THE VOICE COMING FROM?” QUERYING THE EVIDENCE FOR PAUL’S RHETORICAL EDUCATION IN 2 CORINTHIANS 10–13 by Ryan Scott Schellenberg A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Theology of the University of St. Michael’s College and the Biblical Department of the Toronto School of Theology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Ryan S. Schellenberg 2012 “ ‘Where Is the Voice Coming From?’ Querying the Evidence for Paul’s Rhetorical Education in 2 Corinthians 10–13” Ryan Scott Schellenberg Doctor of Philosophy in Theology Biblical Department University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto 2012 ABSTRACT Although it would be an exaggeration to speak of a consensus, a majority of scholars now sees Paul as a man of relatively high social status. Most often cited as evidence for such status is Paul’s putative education in formal rhetorical theory. The prevailing logic consists of two propositions: First, Paul’s letters can be analyzed according to the dictates of Greco- Roman rhetoric; therefore, Paul must have been well educated in rhetoric. Second, rhetorical education was available only among the wealthy elite; therefore, Paul must have been brought up in such circles. A number of scholars have observed that such argumentation fails to consider the extent to which rhetorical ability exists independently of formal education. But despite this general observation, there has been no attempt to determine whether the specific rhetorical competencies to which Paul’s letters attest admit of informal acquisition.

It deconstructs representations of the Numbered Treaties as “land transactions” and challenges the associated forms of oppression that emerge from this interpretation. Drawing on oral histories of the Numbered Treaties, it argues instead that they established a framework for relationship that expressly affirmed the continuity of Indigenous legal and political orders. Further, this dissertation positions treaties as a longstanding Indigenous political institution, arguing for the resurgence of a treaty-based ethic of relationality that has multiple applications in the contemporary context.

  • Canada Uses World Conference to Continue Indefensible Attack on UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
    24 September 2014 PUBLIC STATEMENT Canada uses World Conference to continue indefensible attack on UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Indigenous peoples’ organizations and human rights groups are outraged that the federal government used a high level United Nations forum on Indigenous rights as an opportunity to continue its unprincipled attack on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples . On Monday, the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples -- a high level plenary of the UN General Assembly in New York -- adopted a consensus statement reaffirming support for the UN Declaration . Canada was the only member state to raise objections. Chief Perry Bellegarde, Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, said, “The World Conference was an opportunity for all states to reaffirm their commitment to working constructively with Indigenous peoples to uphold fundamental human rights standards. Alone among all the UN members, Canada instead chose to use this forum to make another unprincipled attack on those very standards.” The Outcome Document, the product of many months of negotiations between states and Indigenous representatives prior to the World Conference, calls on member states to take “appropriate measures at the national level, including legislative, policy and administrative measures, to achieve the ends of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples .” The Outcome Document also affirms provisions in the UN Declaration that decisions potentially affecting the rights of Indigenous peoples
