At the time of her death, Darlene Owens was 23 years old and living at Pauingassi First Nation. On the night of October 19, 2005 Ms Owens, having consumed alcohol, went to a residence where her father was staying and caused a disturbance by banging on the door. After she refused to leave, her father, fearing she would break the window in the door, called the Band Constable on duty that night and requested that Ms Owens be detained in cells until she was sober. Band Constables attended and took Ms Owens into custody. She was taken to a trailer being used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Band Constables as a detention facility. While she was in custody, Ms Owens ripped a piece of her t-shirt which she used to hang herself from the door knob of the cell. She was discovered by Band Constables who made efforts to resuscitate her unsuccessfully.

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • In Understanding Harm Reduction Policies and Programs for Aboriginal Peoples1
    The Role of ‘Kijigabandan’ and ‘Manadjitowin’ in Understanding Harm Reduction Policies and Programs for Aboriginal Peoples1 Colleen Anne Dell, PhD Research Chair in Substance Abuse, University of Saskatchewan & Senior Research Associate, Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse Tara Lyons, PhD Candidate Carleton University Kathleen Cayer Kitigan Zibi Anishnabeg Community Member Abstract Harm reduction policies and programs are gaining increasing acceptance as a promising practice to address high-risk substance use in Canada. A common premise of Western harm reduction initiatives is respect for substance users and their choices. An Aboriginal worldview extends this to understanding individuals, communities and their choices. This paper examines how the Algonquin concepts of ‘Kijigabandan’ and ‘Manadjitowin’ can be used to explore harm reduction’s value as a promising practice for Aboriginal social work. ‘Kijigabandan’ means to attempt to understand and develop personally from the process. ‘Manadjitowin’ means to honour someone or something once it is understood. This is a timely paper because at present there is no uniform starting place to address the value of harm reduction policies and programs as they relate to Aboriginal peoples. Native Social Work Journal Vol 7, pp.109-137 110 Colleen Anne Dell, Tara Lyons, Kathleen Cayer Introduction Harm reduction is a controversial term. It frequently incites debate and at times brings forth moral-based responses. For example, a very lively public dialogue has surrounded the establishment and operation of Canada’s only supervised injection facility, Insite, in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (Beirness et al., 2008; The Province, 2008; Wild, 2002). Empirical-based and opinion-based deliberation has variously surfaced; it has spanned from the corridors of federal and provincial legislatures, to academic journals and public newspapers.
