    The Dispossession of the Míkmaq Indians from Chignecto to Elsipogtog1: A Case Study Analysis of the Health Determinants of the Physical Environment by Patrick J. Augustine A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Patrick J. Augustine 1 The community uses the Pacifique orthography, while the Francis-Smith system spells it L’sipuktuk (Sable & Francis, 2012). Abstract Traditionally, the Míkmaq enjoyed an interconnected relationship with the land, harvesting what they needed from the earth and the ocean, guided by the concept of Netukulimk, the practice of sustainability. Upon the arrival of European settlers, new trade practices were introduced, and what was once plentiful was quickly depleted. Although the original inhabitants were assured that their lands would be protected by agreements and treaties, these assurances proved to be false, and the traditional relationship with the land was threatened, as the Míkmaq—presaging the fate of most Indigenous Peoples in Canada—were dispossessed of their historical lands and forced to live on reserves; many of them far away from the environments to which they had had biological and spiritual ties. Land is central to our understanding of current Indigenous health issues; centering around how the Míkmaq traditionally employed land and resources, what changes in that relationship were brought about by colonization, and how their removal to reserves influenced their relationship vis-à-vis their environment. In addressing the ways that land policies, post-first contact, were developed and implemented over time, it is possible and necessary to juxtapose that history with the story of the forced mobilization of the Míkmaq and examine the effects that the dispossession of land had upon their livelihood and economic activity.

  • 8.13 Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons
    SISSON PROJECT: FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) REPORT 8.13 CURRENT USE OF LAND AND RESOURCES FOR TRADITIONAL PURPOSES BY ABORIGINAL PERSONS The Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons has been selected as a valued environmental component (VEC) in recognition of the current use the land and resources for traditional purposes by Aboriginal persons, and to assess the potential environmental effects of the Project as required by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) and the Final Guidelines (NBENV 2009). The lands of central New Brunswick have been, and are being, used by Aboriginal persons for traditional hunting, fishing, trapping, gathering, subsistence and related purposes. An Indigenous Knowledge Study (IKS) was prepared by Moccasin Flower Consulting Inc., on behalf of the St. Mary’s First Nation, Woodstock First Nation, and Madawaska Maliseet First Nation (Moccasin Flower Consulting 2013). This Northcliff-sponsored study reports that land and resources near the Project area have been, and are being, used for traditional purposes by Maliseet First Nations. The Project will result in the loss of access to, or use of, land and resources in the Project Development Area (PDA) and Local Assessment Area (LAA) (both terms are defined in Section 8.13.1.4 below) due to the physical presence of the Project facilities and associated exclusion zones. These potential interactions of the Project with the Current Use of Land and Resources for Traditional Purposes by Aboriginal Persons are of concern to Aboriginal communities in New Brunswick because they could result in a loss of access to, or use of, areas currently used for traditional purposes by Aboriginal persons.
