  • La Déclaration De Glendon Sur La Vérité Et La Réconciliation Et Sur Une
    La Déclaration de Glendon sur la vérité et la réconciliation et sur une politique sur les langues autochtones Contexte Le 9 février 2016, quatre-vingt-deux chercheurs autochtones et nonautochtones se sont réunis au Collège universitaire Glendon, Université York, lors d’un colloque pancanadien sur les répercussions éventuelles du Rapport de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada (décembre 2015) sur une politique sur les langues autochtones. Les principaux commanditaires, à Glendon, étaient L’École d’affaires publiques et internationales (ÉAPI) et le Centre de recherche sur le contact des langues et des cultures (CRCLC). Inauguré par l’ancien Chef national Phil Fontaine, le colloque réunissait des conférenciers invités, des chercheurs et intervenants en politique linguistique autochtone de cinq provinces et d’un territoire, des représentants des gouvernements du Canada et de l’Ontario, et des membres des médias. Le colloque avait pour objectif d’étudier les implications du Rapport final de la CVR pour une politique sur les langues autochtones au Canada et pour les responsabilités connexes des établissements d’enseignement postsecondaire. Les participants à la plénière et aux groupes de travail se sont penchés sur les trois appels à l’action suivants émis dans le Rapport final de la CVR et sur une quatrième question : les responsabilités connexes des établissements postsecondaires. Appel à l’action no 13 Nous demandons au gouvernement fédéral de reconnaître que les droits des Autochtones comprennent les droits linguistiques autochtones. Appel à l’action no 14 Nous demandons au gouvernement fédéral d’adopter une loi sur les langues autochtones. Appel à l’action no 15 Nous demandons au gouvernement fédéral de nommer, à la suite de consultations avec les groupes autochtones, un commissaire aux langues autochtones.

  • Children and Childhood in Wendat Society, 1600-1700 Victoria
    Children and Childhood in Wendat Society, 1600-1700 Victoria Jackson A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History York University Toronto, Ontario October 2020 © Victoria Jackson, 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines Wendat childhood in the 17th century. Contrary to European expectations, Wendat child-rearing practices emphasized independence, empowerment, and respect for all individuals, encouraging children to pay attention to and contribute to the safety, health, and well-being of their families and community. As a result, I argue that children and youths took on essential and important roles in Wendat society, including teaching, diplomacy, and spiritual leadership, often in ways that were distinct from that of adults. Youths were often at the heart of Wendat-settler relations in those roles, and helped greet, teach, and support European newcomers. Children and youths helped teach newcomers to speak and act like a Wendat, served as intermediaries and translators between Wendat and non-Wendat leadership, and took on important political and spiritual roles to foster long-term friendships with French visitors. Wendat children and youths were loved, respected, and treated as uniquely important contributors to Wendat society. Children were raised by the entire community, not just the biological parents, and everyone had a role in caring for the youth and preparing them for their life-long responsibilities to family and community. The care for children also extended to Wendat mortuary customs, as children—especially infants—sometimes had unusual, age- determined burials. This dissertation emphasizes a biographical case study approach, focusing on what the stories of individuals can tell us about the society as a whole.
