ABSTRACT This thesis is an examination of how First Nations chefs and restauranteurs are using the culinary arts, similar to other art forms, as a means of asserting contemporary identities as well as responding to the legacy of colonialism in Canada. Colonialism has forever altered traditional Aboriginal ways of life, including artistic expressions. However, a post-colonial analysis of a broad range of work by contemporary Aboriginal artists will reveal that the arts have been used by Native people as a means of responding to colonialism as well as a way of asserting their contemporary identities. This analysis will be done using a set of theoretical principles drawn from post-colonial studies, including self-representation, authenticity, hybridity, appropriation, and cultural continuity and survival, which will later be applied to my analysis of Aboriginal haute cuisine. An in-depth ethnographical survey of historical culinary traditions among Native people in Canada will reveal that food has always been an integral part of Aboriginal lifeways, and consequently the negative impact that colonization has had on the traditional eating habits of Native people. However, by looking at the development of recent trends in Aboriginal haute cuisine using the principles developed from post­ colonial studies, it is clear that cooking is also a means, like other forms of artistic expression, of affirming and celebrating contemporary Indigenous identities. This thesis also seeks to contribute to the emerging field of Food Studies, as well as to suggest a new means of social analysis for Canadian Studies scholars.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe a great deal of gratitude to many people for helping me through the process of writing this thesis. First, I would like to thank all of the people who shared their time as well as their experiences of cooking and eating with me, Phoebe Sutherland, Shawn Adler, Bertha Skye, Bryan Skye, Danielle Medina, Robert Gairns, and Dolly Watts. Without all of you there would be no thesis to speak of. I would also like to acknowledge the help and guidance of my thesis advisor Dr. Allan Ryan. I would like to thank Molly Blyth and John Milloy for, not only their scholarly suggestions and insight, but also for their encouraging words. Thank you to Katie Bryant for coming into my life at just the right time, for being such a great friend, and also a great editor. To Nat McMullen for her editing and proofreading, without which I couldn’t have finished. Thank you to everyone at Changing Pace who were so accommodating when I was really stressed out, but for also helping to keep my body active enough to keep up with my brain. Thank you to Richard Michaud for saving my computer data when I thought I had lost it all. To Emily Farrimond, Andy Plewis, Jacob Logel and my big brother Richard Turner, for not only, reading and revising numerous copies of chapters, but also for being great friends and supports. Thanks to Nicky Cameron for making me laugh when we both felt like there was no summer left in the world. Thank you to Lana Whiskeyjack for being the greatest (and hottest) friend in Canadian Studies. To Bridget Glassco for always eating and cooking with me, and just being the best friend a person could possibly have. Thank you to all of the amazing women in my family who have inspired me to love food and cooking - Grandma Elsie, Aunt Cathy, and Nana Turner. A very special thank you to the strongest woman in my life, my mother, who always fed me well, but who has also given me lifesaving financial assistance and emotional support as I wrote this thesis. Finally, thank you most of all to my favourite eating and cooking companion, Bernard Oger, who has been a tower of unfaltering strength and loyalty throughout this process. To all of you I dedicate this thesis. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 4530–4552 1932–8036/20190005 Sweetgrass AR: Exploring Augmented Reality as a Resource for Indigenous–Settler Relations ROB MCMAHON1 AMANDA ALMOND GREG WHISTANCE-SMITH University of Alberta, Canada DIANA STEINHAUER STEWART STEINHAUER Saddle Lake Cree Nation, Canada DIANE P. JANES Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Canada Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly used as a digital storytelling medium to reveal place- based content, including hidden histories and alternative narratives. In the context of Indigenous–settler relations, AR holds potential to expose and challenge representations of settler colonialism while invoking relational ethics and Indigenous ways of knowing. However, it also threatens to disseminate misinformation and commodify Indigenous Knowledge. Here, we focus on collaborative AR design practices that support critical, reflective, and reciprocal relationship building by teams composed of members from Indigenous and settler communities. After a short history of Indigenous media development in Canada, we describe how we operationalized a participatory AR design process to strengthen Indigenous–settler relations. We document a series of iterative design steps that teams can use to work through Rob McMahon: [email protected] Amanda Almond: [email protected] Greg Whistance-Smith: [email protected] Diana Steinhauer: [email protected] Stewart Steinhauer: [email protected] Diane P.
