Summary: "I'm your resident bitch for the day!" That's how internationally acclaimed anti-racism expert Jane Elliott describes her role in this real documentary that challenges Canadians’attitudes towards Indigenous Canadians. Her confrontational teaching style turns the table on participants, pitting the 'brown eyes" against the "blue eyes". Whether or not you agree, that's Elliott's starting point as she welcomes and bullies 22 Canadians who have volunteered to participate in her workshop. Notes: Aboriginal Resource List.

  • Métis Identity in Canada
    Métis Identity in Canada by Peter Larivière A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2015, Peter Larivière Abstract The understanding and acknowledgement of Aboriginal rights has grown in importance within Canada as a result of the ever changing legal landscape and as Aboriginal groups more forcefully confront decades of colonial rule to assert their historic rights. While this has predominantly come out of First Nations issues, there has been a gradual increase in the rights cases by Métis communities. Primary among these was the 2003 Supreme Court of Canada Powley decision which introduced how Métis identity and community identification are key in a successful litigation claim by Métis. This research considers questions surrounding the contentious nature of Métis identity including how Métis see themselves and how their understandings are prescribed by others including the state, through tools such as the Census of Canada. ii Acknowledgements There is always a fear in acknowledging the support of individuals who assisted over the years that someone may be missed. So let me thank all those whose paths I have crossed and who in their own way set the stage for my being in this very place at this time. Without you I would not have made it here and I thank you. There are specific people who I do wish to highlight. My mother and father and my sister and her family all played a role not only in my formative years but continue to be part of my every day.

Author: Birgitta Brown Language: English Department: English Department, University of Gothenburg, Box 200, SE-405 30 Gothenburg Anglo-French relations have had a significant influence on the fiction created in Canada’s Maritime Provinces. The 18th century was a period of colonial wars. Contacts between the English and French in Canada were established and de- termined by the hostilities between the two colonizing nations, France and Great Britain. The hostilities passed on a sense of difference between the two nations through situations of othering. Contacts, however, always generate transcultural processes which transcend or mediate cultural difference. Othering and transculturation are closely interdependent phenomena acting in conjunc- tion. They work in processes manifesting themselves in so-called contact zones both during the colonial era and in a postcolonial context. This study investi- gates how processes of othering and transculturation are explored and dis- cussed in a number of Maritime novels, Anglophone and Acadian, published in different decades of the 20th century, in order to account for a broad perspec- tive of the interdependency of othering and transculturation.

  • Diversity Within Canada's Indigenous
    THE LONDON JOURNAL OF CANADIAN STUDIES 2000/2001 VOLUME 16 VARIOUS SHADES OF RED: DIVERSITY WITHIN CANADA’S INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY Cora J. Voyageur, University of Calgary Brian Calliou, University of Alberta Abstract Canada is a land of immigrants. All Canadians, with the exception of Canada’s indigenous peoples, entered this nation from other countries. Immigration has produced a culturally and racially diverse population. This diversity was officially recognized with the implementation of the Multiculturalism Act in 1988. However, when we speak of “multiculturalism” in Canada we generally refer to those who originated, or whose ancestors originated, outside our national borders. Cultural diversity in Canada extends beyond the immigrant population into its indigenous population. There is often a misconception that Canada’s indigenous peoples are a homogeneous group – nothing could be further from the truth. This paper discusses the distinctive identities, vibrant cultures, and varying traditions of Canada’s indigenous peoples affiliated with 633 Indian bands and reside on more than 2,000 reserves across Canada.1 It also offers insight into a variety of legal, social and cultural differences inherent between and with Canada’s indigenous groups. Introduction Virtually all Canadians, with the exception of the indigenous peoples, entered this country as immigrants. Early Canadian immigration policies favoured settlers from western European countries, especially the British Isles. Statistics Canada states that of those Canadians who declared a single origin in the 1996 Census more than 54% recorded British, French or European origins (1999a:1). However, that trend has changed with current immigrants coming increasingly from what can be referred to as “non-Caucasian” nations such as Hong Kong, China, India, and Africa (Statistics Canada, 1999b:1).
