  • The Numbered Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework
    Western University Scholarship@Western Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi) 2010 The umbN ered Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework Jean L. Manore Follow this and additional works at: https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/aprci Part of the Social Policy Commons Citation of this paper: Manore, Jean L., "The umbeN red Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework" (2010). Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi). 76. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/aprci/76 3 The Numbered Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework Jean L. Manore One of the most important ideologies prevalent within government circles during the late nineteenth century and into the twentieth was liberalism, a complex idea that manifested itself in various western countries in a variety of ways. In Canada, because of its dominance during the time the Numbered Treaties were negoti- ated, liberalism influenced not only non-Native government officials’ understand- ing of the treaties themselves, but also how they were to be implemented. Space does not allow for a full discussion of liberalism, but an examination of some of its principal characteristics will demonstrate the presence of this ideology within the texts of the Numbered Treaties, and an examination of their implementation by non-Native agents will demonstrate how the liberal order framework that developed from the ideology came to pervade non-Native interpretations of the treaties. It must be pointed out, however, that there were other ideologies and views at work that limited liberalism’s power; thus the liberal order framework in Canada had to be adaptive and at times even ambiguous in its application.

They teach us we have a responsibility in our generation, in our lifetime. […] Up to the horizons, beyond that is the seven generations, as far as you can see, that’s our responsibility – to teach those generations about our wisdom and our knowledge about our people.” We have a responsibility to keep the Treaty alive in our lifetime for future generations. - Elder Harry Bone Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba and Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Dtantu Balai Betl Nahidei: Our Relations To The Newcomers, vol 3, by Anishinaabe Elder Harry Bone, in Joe Hyslop, Harry Bone and the Treaty & Dakota Elders of Manitoba, with contributions by the AMC Council of Elders (Winnipeg: TRCM & AMC, 2015) [TRCM vol 3]. 2 3 Table of Contents ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND RETAINER 5 DECLARATION 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 7 I.

    Christopher Hannibal-Paci Natural Resources Institute University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T-2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8287 Fax: (204) 261-0038 Email: [email protected] Stream: Aboriginal Discipline: Interdisciplinary Ph.D. (History, Zoology, N.R.I.) Lake Sturgeon: The Historical Geography of Lake Winnipeg Fishery Commons Introduction In the province of Manitoba lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) is currently threatened, extirpated from most of its original range. This has occurred for a number of reasons. A major feature has been the removal of control over the resource from the local level. Capitalization and resource extraction by outside interests has been allowed and encouraged by Canadian governments. Compounding this, a gap existed between local fisheries overseers and centralized Fisheries Department decision-makers who used incomplete and fragmented knowledge at critical junctures in the development of the sturgeon fishery. Finally, over-lapping uses for resources and development of some resources at the expense of others, i.e. hydro-electrical development, have negatively impacted fish populations and habitats. Few researchers have examined the transformation of resources from common property to commercial commodity. Cree and Ojibwe management of lake sturgeon is reconstructed as the basis for understanding the history of sturgeon fishing and its management on Lake Winnipeg, challenging some of the conventional wisdom and history about the transformation. The paper crosses boundaries of history, zoology and fisheries management theory to reexamine the sturgeon problem, incorporating divergent perspectives, including Cree and Ojibwe management systems. The most recent efforts to manage lake sturgeon in Manitoba have been with both formal and informal co-management, one response to a long history marked by successes and failures.

  • A Syllabus for History After the TRC
    A Syllabus for History After the TRC Introduction What does the teaching and researching of history in Canada look like after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC)? The TRC was established in 2008 as part of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, an agreement between the federal government and approximately 8000 Indigenous people who had attended residential schools. Over the next six years, the TRC took on a staggering project of both research, public engagement, and advocacy. The TRC did extensive archival research in the papers left by Canadian governments and churches, twice going to court to compel Canada to produce promised archival records. As historian Mary Jane Logan McCallum notes, a serious commitment to gathering and analyzing oral testimony – and the different histories it told -- differentiated the shape and mandate of the commission’s research. 1 The TRC created an oral archive based on interviews with more that 6,000 people, most of whom had themselves attended residential schools.2 The TRC’s final report was published in 2015, and as a document, the report makes clear how the TRC was both a powerful work of history and an important moment in history. The TRC was focused on the particular question of Indian Residential Schools funded by the federal government between the 1880s and the 1990s. The church-run schools that preceded the federal system were excluded, as were the church, province, or First Nation administered schools, including many of those that Metis children attended. For all the specificity of this focus, the TRC became a vehicle for a wider, more critical discussion of the past and the present of Canadian colonialism, and the multiple ways it has cost Indigenous people and shaped Canada.
