Department of foliTiooil fv.'igfrr.<=» The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 >E-6 Y3/8in Abstract In response to an almost universal perception on the part of aboriginal peoples of the injustice done to them by the intrusion and take-over of their territories by immigrant- dominated societies, a number of indigenous peoples' groups have arisen on the international scene. One such transnational non-governmental organization is the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. The objects of this thesis are to recount the conditions that precipitated the need for a transnational indigenous peoples support group, to chronicle the formation and work of the WCIP, and to evaluate the organization in terms of why it has (or has not) been a success and in terms of the extent of its success.

  • Cross-Epistemological Feminist Conversations Between Indigenous Canada and South Africa
    CROSS-EPISTEMOLOGICAL FEMINIST CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN INDIGENOUS CANADA AND SOUTH AFRICA CROSS-EPISTEMOLOGICAL FEMINIST CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN INDIGENOUS CANADA AND SOUTH AFRICA By JESSIE WANYEKI FORSYTH, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Jessie Wanyeki Forsyth, September 2015 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (English) TITLE: Cross-Epistemological Feminist Conversations Between Indigenous Canada and South Africa AUTHOR: Jessie Wanyeki Forsyth, Ph.D. (McMaster) SUPERVISOR: Professor Helene Strauss NUMBER OF PAGES: viii, 293 ii LAY ABSTRACT This project examines a small selection of the literatures by Indigenous women writers in Canada and black South African women writers to conceptualize anti-oppressive approaches to working across differences in both literary/scholarly and activist/lived contexts. It uses conversation as a critical methodology for engaging four primary texts and practicing an uneasy comparative method based on horizontal forms of juxtaposition rather than vertical relations of evaluative power: Mother to Mother (Sindiwe Magona) and The Book of Jessica (Maria Campbell and Linda Griffiths); and Coconut (Kopano Matlwa) and Monkey Beach (Eden Robinson). The overall aim is to re-imagine forms of engaging across difference along a range of registers – racialization, gender, nation, class, language, and geographical location – that create conditions for more expansive and substantive forms of social justice than are currently visible. The project draws on feminist, Indigenous, postcolonial, critical race, and related areas of scholarship with an orientation towards social justice. iii ABSTRACT This is a project that takes inequality as its starting point to ask not why it persists in all its myriad forms, but rather how we might better understand its resiliency in order to re- orient our responses.

  • Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples
    Decolonization, Indigenous Internationalism, and the World Council of Indigenous Peoples by Jonathan Crossen A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 ©Jonathan Crossen 2014 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the history of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples (WCIP) and the broader movement of Indigenous internationalism. It argues that Indigenous internationalists were inspired by the process of decolonization, and used its logic to establish a new political identity. The foundation of the WCIP helped create a network of Indigenous peoples that expressed international solidarity between historically unconnected communities. The international efforts of Indigenous activists were encouraged both by personal experiences of international travel and post-secondary education, and by the general growth of international non-governmental organizations during the late twentieth century. The growing importance of international non-governmental organizations helped the WCIP secure funding from international developmental aid agencies, a factor which pushed the organization to increase its focus on apolitical economic development relative to the anti-colonial objectives which inspired its foundation. This dissertation examines how Indigenous international organizations became embroiled in the Cold War conflict in Latin America, and the difficulties this situation posed for both the WCIP and the International Indian Treaty Council.

  • Self-Determination, Colonialism and Pre-Reserve Nehiyaw Forms of Power
    Miyo Wahkotowin: Self-determination, Colonialism and Pre-reserve Nehiyaw Forms of Power by Matthew Wildcat B.A. (Hons.), University of Alberta, 2006 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Faculty of Human and Social Development ! Matthew Wildcat, 2010 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee Miyo Wahkotowin: Self-determination, Colonialism and Pre-reserve Nehiyaw Forms of Power by Matthew Wildcat B.A. (Hons.), University of Alberta, 2006 Supervisory Committee Dr. Taiaiake Alfred, (Indigenous Governance Program) Supervisor Dr. Waziyatawin (Indigenous Governance Program) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. Taiaiake Alfred, (Indigenous Governance Program) Supervisor Dr. Waziyatawin (Indigenous Governance Program) Departmental Member This thesis explores whether reviving pre-reserve Nehiyaw forms of power represents a strategy of self-determination. To start, an understanding of colonialism is advanced based on the idea that colonialism is an intersectional process that involves both the actions perpetrated from a settler society unto Indigenous peoples, and the legacy of dysfunction that is left with Indigenous peoples as a result of colonization. Second, an understanding of pre-reserve Nehiyaw forms of power is developed, with a focus on how the interaction of legitimacy and authority can be used to explain pre-reserve Nehiyaw forms of power. Finally, I examine if reviving pre-reserve Nehiyaw forms of power represents a strategy of self-determination that addresses the intersectional nature of colonialism. I argue that it does, but in order to revive pre-reserve forms of power we must displace band councils as the site where we imagine a revival of pre-reserve Nehiyaw forms of power.
