  • Nation with in a Nation in Tomson Highway's the Rez Sisters
    International Journal of English Literature and Social Sciences, 5(3) May-Jun 2020 |Available online: https://ijels.com/ Foreign and Reserve Life Hand in Hand: Nation with in a Nation in Tomson Highway’s The Rez Sisters Maggy Clemence B.ED, English (4th semester), Calicut University Teacher Education Centre, Koduvur, Palakkad, Kerala, India. Abstract— This papers focus on the dual existence of the concept of Nationality which is generally referred as the “Nation with in a Nation”. When we trace the early orgins of Canada, the result would be a wide separation of two cultures, the reserve culture and the foreign culture. One such division is further reflected in ‘The Res Sisters’ a famous work by Cree Canadian writer Tomson Highway. The plot revolves around the life of seven sisters who were subjected to reserve life. Their life wasn’t a bed of roses, their hurdles that was artificially created by the white immigrants .The play glorifies the rebellious attitude of the reserve ladies, the intervention of a male counterpart named Nanabush. Nanabush itself is the blurred conscious minds of the woman whose support heals their wounds. Race and ethnicity can also be implored further to stress the discrimination with in the Nation. Keywords— Nation with in a nation, Race and Ethnicity, Discrimination, Cultural Limitations. I. INTRODUCTION played the role as trickster.

  • LINES and CIRCLES the "Rez" Plays of Tomson Highway
    LINES AND CIRCLES The "Rez" Plays of Tomson Highway Denis W. Johnston WriTHOUT QUESTION, the most important new Canadian playwright to emerge Уin thTITe Hlatter half of the 1980s has been Tomson Highway. In less than three years, and with only two major plays, Highway has joined a select group of playwrights whose new plays, sight unseen, are treated as significant cul- tural events by Canadian critics, scholars, and audiences. The two plays, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, both won the coveted Dora Mavor Moore award for the best new play produced in Toronto, the former for the 1986-87 season and the latter for 1988-89. Tomson Highway says his ambition in life, and therefore presumably in his plays, is "to make 'the rez' [reserve] cool, to show and celebrate what funky folk Canada's Indian people really are."1 In this, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing have been wildly successful, attracting enthusiastic audiences, both white and Native, far beyond the real-life reserve where The Rez Sisters was conceived and first performed. To non-Native critics, myself included, Tomson Highway is an exotic new figure in Canadian theatre. Born on his father's trap-line in northern Manitoba, he spoke only Cree until going to a Catholic boarding school at age six. In high school in Winnipeg he became a musical prodigy, eventually earning university degrees in English and music while studying to be a concert pianist. After graduation, how- ever, Highway abruptly jettisoned his musical career and spent the ensuing seven years working with various Native support organizations.

  • Recovering Canada: the Resurgence of Indigenous Law
    RECOVERING CANADA: THE RESURGENCE OF INDIGENOUS LAW Canada is ruled by a system of law and governance that largely obscures and ignores the presence of pre-existing Indigenous regimes. Indige- nous law, however, has continuing relevance for both Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state. In this in-depth examination of the continued existence and application of Indigenous legal values, John Borrows suggests how First Nations laws could be applied by Canadian courts, while addressing the difficulties that would likely occur if the courts attempted to follow such an approach. By contrasting and com- paring Aboriginal stories and Canadian case law, and interweaving polit- ical commentary, Borrows argues that there is a better way to constitute Aboriginal-Crown relations in Canada. He suggests that the application of Indigenous legal perspectives to a broad spectrum of issues will help Canada recover from its colonial past, and help Indigenous people recover their country. Borrows concludes by demonstrating how Indige- nous peoples' law could be more fully and consciously integrated with Canadian law to produce a society where two world-views can co-exist and a different vision of the Canadian constitution and citizenship can be created.

  • White Paper on Francophone Arts and Culture in Ontario Arts and Culture
    FRANCOPHONE ARTS AND CULTURE IN ONTARIO White Paper JUNE 2017 TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY 05 BACKGROUND 06 STATE OF THE FIELD 09 STRATEGIC ISSUES AND PRIORITY 16 RECOMMANDATIONS CONCLUSION 35 ANNEXE 1: RECOMMANDATIONS 36 AND COURSES OF ACTION ARTS AND CULTURE SUMMARY Ontario’s Francophone arts and culture sector includes a significant number of artists and arts and culture organizations, working throughout the province. These stakeholders are active in a wide range of artistic disciplines, directly contribute to the province’s cultural development, allow Ontarians to take part in fulfilling artistic and cultural experiences, and work on the frontlines to ensure the vitality of Ontario’s Francophone communities. This network has considerably diversified and specialized itself over the years, so much so that it now makes up one of the most elaborate cultural ecosystems in all of French Canada. However, public funding supporting this sector has been stagnant for years, and the province’s cultural strategy barely takes Francophones into account. While certain artists and arts organizations have become ambassadors for Ontario throughout the country and the world, many others continue to work in the shadows under appalling conditions. Cultural development, especially, is currently the responsibility of no specific department or agency of the provincial government. This means that organizations and actors that increase the quality of life and contribute directly to the local economy have difficulty securing recognition or significant support from the province. This White Paper, drawn from ten regional consultations held throughout the province in the fall of 2016, examines the current state of Francophone arts and culture in Ontario, and identifies five key issues.

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT In this thesis I will examine the critical and popular success of playwright Tomson Highway. Highway's two published plays, The Rez Sisters and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing. are taught on university and high school syllabi across the country and abroad, as far away as Copenhagen. These two plays have also been performed in Canada virtually from coast to coast. These facts are interesting in and of themselves, but specifically when taken into account with the fact that Highway is a Cree playwright, born in northern Manitoba, who didn't become fluent in English until reaching his teens.
