  • Challenging Canadian and Israeli Settler Colonialism
    settler colonial studies ‘From Jerusalem to the Grand River, Our Struggles are One’: Challenging Canadian and Israeli Settler Colonialism MIKE KREBS Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign DANA M. OLWAN Syracuse University This article explores the possibilities and histories of indigenous solidarity struggles against the settler colonial states of Canada and Israel. Throughout this work, we examine activist and political movements from Canada that make connections between the struggles of indigenous peoples in Canada and Palestine. We ask: In light of efforts to usurp indigenous identities in the service of settler colonial states, how do Palestine activists in Canada create lines of solidarity with indigenous peoples? And how can we foster global solidarity with Palestinians that are attuned to local native struggles for sovereignty and self determination? We attempt to address these questions by utilising a comparative framework that addresses the gendered and racialised aspects of the settler colonial projects of Canada and Israel. In 2005, Phil Fontaine, former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations in Canada, and Ed Morgan, founding National Chair of the Canadian Academic Friends of Israel, co-authored an opinion piece entitled ‘Aboriginals, Jews Stand Together’. Published in the Canadian daily, The Globe and Mail, and circulated widely through the internet, the article redresses the controversy surrounding the anti- Semitic statements made by David Ahenakew, former national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.1 Throughout

  • “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities
    “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities By Janique F. Dubois A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Janique F. Dubois, 2013 “Just Do It!” Self-Determination for Complex Minorities Janique F. Dubois Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis explores how Indigenous and linguistic communities achieve self- determination without fixed cultural and territorial boundaries. An examination of the governance practices of Métis, Francophones and First Nations in Saskatchewan reveals that these communities use innovative membership and participation rules in lieu of territorial and cultural criteria to delineate the boundaries within which to exercise political power. These practices have allowed territorially dispersed communities to build institutions, adopt laws and deliver services through province-wide governance structures. In addition to providing an empirical basis to support non-territorial models of self-determination, this study offers a new approach to governance that challenges state- centric theories of minority rights by focusing on the transformative power communities generate through stories and actions. ii Acknowledgements I would not have been able to complete this project without the generosity and kindness of family, friends, mentors and strangers. I am indebted to all of those who welcomed me in their office, invited me into their homes and sat across from me in restaurants to answer my questions. For trusting me with your stories and for the generosity of your time, thank you, marci, merci, hay hay. I am enormously grateful to my committee members for whom I have the utmost respect as scholars and as people.

  • A Hateful Outburst a Native Leader's Anti-Semitic Remarks Demand Swift Action

Check your lottery numbers now. canada.com » Search » Story Tuesday » December 17 » 2002 SEARCH SEARCH RESULTS - STORY » Super Search A hateful outburst » People Finder A native leader's anti-Semitic remarks demand swift action » Business Finder » OnLine Shopping » Careers Ottawa Citizen » Autos Tuesday, December 17, 2002 ADVERTISEMENT David Ahenakew's anti-Jewish diatribe was astonishing, for rarely are we confronted with such a nauseatingly graphic expression of racism -- and from a political leader, no less. Mr. Ahenakew, an Order of Canada recipient and former head of the Assembly of First Nations, called Jews a "disease" and endorsed the Nazi effort to exterminate them. "Jews would have owned the whole goddamned world," he explained. Our astonishment also comes because Canada's aboriginal peoples know something of discrimination and ought to identify with Jews. Maurice Switzer, an official with the Union of Ontario Indians in North Bay, who has both Jewish and Indian blood, has written that the Jews were displaced from their ancestral home just as aboriginal peoples have been dispossessed in theirs. Jews lived in ghettos, aboriginals live on reserves. So is Mr. Ahenakew simply a crackpot? He made his remarks on Friday at a Saskatoon conference on aboriginal access to health care, though what "the Jews" have to do with native health on the Prairies is not obvious. Students of prejudice will recognize that a characteristic of anti-Semitism is its hallucinatory nature. Still, Mr. Ahenakew's position as a respected, longtime community elder made his loopy outburst impossible to ignore.

  • Accountability for War Crimes); Rights of the Child
    Canada1 IHF FOCUS: hate speech; asylum seekers and immigrants; international humanitarian law (accountability for war crimes); rights of the child. The Canadian Helsinki Watch Group focused its activities in 2003 on child pornography legislation, refugee protection, prosecutions against war criminals in Canada and hate speech. It opposed proposed amendments to the child pornography legislation on the grounds that they would make it more difficult for courts to convict perpetrators. The group also expressed concerns about the US Canada Safe Third Country Agreement, officially aimed at stopping economic migrants from abusing the refugee determination systems but which, in effect, could lead to a decrease in the protection of refugees. In addition, inexcusable delays by the Canadian government in deporting war criminals found guilty by Canadian courts, resulted in effective impunity of both Nazi and more recent war criminals. The failure to act promptly suggested that Canada was not genuinely interested in making war criminals accountable. On the other hand, the government brought charges against Leon Mugesera who had incited hatred against the Tutsi in Rwanda and whose speech had immediately been followed by widespread massacres. However, the government lost the case in the Federal Court of Appeal, which decided to drop the charges. Charges were also brought against David Ahenakew, a prominent native leader, for anti-Semitic statements. The Canadian Helsinki Watch Group urged the government to make Canadian legislation on the financing of terrorist organization more consistent: in 2003, three different laws dealt with that issue. Hate Speech The Canadian Helsinki Watch Group supported the prosecution of David Ahenakew in 2003 for incitement to hatred.

  • News Release University of Regina
    NEWS RELEASE UNIVERSITY OF REGINA News & Information Services phone 584-4402 RELEASE ON RECEIPT MAY, 1977 REGINA (May 18) -- A Saskatchewan Indian leader and a pioneer Saskatchewan drama teacher will receive honorary doctorate degrees at the 1977 spring convocation of the University of Regina on May 27. Chief David Ahenakew, leader of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indians, and Mary Ellen Burgess, a pioneer Saskatchewan school teacher and drama educator, will receive the degrees for their contributions to their fields. Mrs, Burgess, born at Chatham, Ont., in 1895, was among the first to graduate from Regina Normal School 65 years ago, and began her long teaching career at a rural school in 1912. She returned in 1961 to the Saskatchewan Teachers College in Regina, as it was known then, as an instructor. The college now is part of the University of Regina. Chief Ahenakew, who last spring was the first Indian leader to address the University's convocation, also had a major role in the establishment of the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College, located at the University of Regina, the first such college in North America. The 65th anniversary of Mrs. Burgess' graduation from Regina Normal School coincides with the University's celebration this year of the 65th anniversary of its beginning. The list of Mrs. Burgess' contributions to the dramatic arts in Saskatchewan is enormous. On many occasions she has served as an adjudicator, a writer, an editor of drama publications and above all a teacher and scholar of drama education. Currently, she is working on a draft of her autobiography, which has been considered for pub- lication.

  • Assembly of First Nations – Our Story
    Assembly of First Nations – Our Story The story of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) is one that remains unknown to most Canadians. It is the story that is lived each day by the First Nations peoples of Canada. It is the story of a struggle for self-determination and human dignity. It is a story that must be told. Many Canadians are unaware of the enormous problems that the First Nations peoples have faced on the road to political recognition in this country. Few Canadians realize that the First Nations peoples are identified in the Constitution as one of the founding nations of Canada, along with the English and French. Few Canadians are aware that up until the 1983-87 First Ministers Conference on Aboriginal Rights, the First Nations People were excluded from taking part in the Constitutional developments of Canada. First Nations peoples have had to deal with conditions of extreme poverty and isolation, and vast geographical dispersion, within the tremendous diversity of aboriginal cultures, languages, and political ideologies. Improved communications and transportation have allowed First Nations Peoples to begin to talk to each other, to the rest of Canada, and to the rest of the world. These relatively recent developments have meant that the First Nations Peoples have had to work harder and faster in order to catch up with the federal and provincial governments in the fields of political knowledge, political reality, and especially in political expertise. The years of being excluded from Canada's formal political process has left First Nations Peoples with an incredible void to fill just in order to attain a level of political, social, and legal knowledge that is on par with other groups in Canadian society.
