I am proud of the family of institutions of the FSIN that IGR belongs to as they illustrate self-reliance and a IGR Board Chair movement towards full jurisdiction. Chief Guy Lonechild In the first phase of a three phase process for regulating all charitable gaming on-reserve, IGR has shown great capability as the on-reserve gaming regulator in our communities. The numbers of IGR licensed charities have risen steadily as the result of a shared vision and dedication by leadership, management and staff. I commend First Nations Chiefs and Councils for supporting IGR as our First Nations regulator. I thank the on-reserve charities for the hard work they do to raise much needed funds for the worthy causes they support. Self-determination for First Nations citizens can only be realized through governing ourselves, managing our own institutions and maintaining our First Nations cultures and languages. IGR’s catch phrase “Regulate the Future to Preserve the Past” truly captures this reality. As we move into negotiations around phase II that will involve registration of gaming employees, I look forward to another successful year for the IGR Board, management and staff. 2 On behalf of IGR management and staff, I present the 2009/2010 Annual report. The fiscal year 2009/2010 was another immensely successful year for the Indigenous Gaming Regulators (IGR). The percentage of IGR licensed on-reserve charities has climbed to 86% over the past year. IGR President & CEO I wish to commend the IGR Board of Directors for their Gregory Ahenakew direction and support. They are charged with the duty of balancing their responsibility to the First Nations citizens they represent with the challenges of directing an institution in an ever-changing global economy. Due to sound financial management and dedication by all of our IGR team members, this year as in past years, IGR received an unqualified audit. Please take the time to view the financial statements presented in this publication. Most of all I congratulate the First Nations leaders who support IGR and their on-reserve charities for making this a very successful year at IGR. Moreover, they need to be congratulated for the difference they make for First Nations citizens. Without charitable gaming fundraising, many worthwhile causes would go unfunded and IGR is proud to be a part of the process. After an extremely successful first phase of the SIGL Regulatory Agreement, IGR will be moving over the next year, into the preliminary stages of Phase II that will see the registration of gaming employees on reserves. As IGR management and staff assume the added duties around implementation of Phase II, we will continue to serve the First Nations citizens we represent with the utmost deference, to enhance community fundraising through charitable gaming. 3 Chief Cyrus Standing Chief Cyrus Standing is from the Wahpeton Dakota Nation in Treaty 6 Territory.

  • Imprisonment, Carceral Space, and Settler Colonial Governance in Canada
    COLONIAL CARCERALITY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: IMPRISONMENT, CARCERAL SPACE, AND SETTLER COLONIAL GOVERNANCE IN CANADA By JESSICA E. JURGUTIS B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Jessica E. Jurgutis, September 2018 i DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY (2018) McMaster University (Political Science) Hamilton, ON TITLE: Colonial Carcerality and International Relations: Imprisonment, Carceral Space, and Settler Colonial Governance in Canada AUTHOR: Jessica E. Jurgutis, B.A. (McMaster University), M.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor J. Marshall Beier NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 335 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the importance of colonial carcerality to International Relations and Canadian politics. I argue that within Canada, practices of imprisonment and the production of carceral space are a foundational method of settler colonial governance because of the ways they are utilized to reorganize and reconstitute the relationships between bodies and land through coercion, non-consensual inclusion and the use of force. In this project I examine the Treaties and early agreements between Indigenous and European nations, pre-Confederation law and policy, legislative and institutional arrangements and practices during early stages of state formation and capitalist expansion, and contemporary claims of “reconciliation,” alongside the ongoing resistance by Indigenous peoples across Turtle Island. I argue that Canada employs carcerality as a strategy of assimilation, dispossession and genocide through practices of criminalization, punishment and containment of bodies and lands. Through this analysis I demonstrate the foundational role of carcerality to historical and contemporary expressions of Canadian governance within empire, by arguing land as indispensable to understanding the utility of imprisonment and carceral space to extending the settler colonial project.

  • Dmjohnson Draft Thesis Apr 1 2014(3)
    “This Is Our Land!” Indigenous Rhetoric and Resistance on the Northern Plains by Daniel Morley Johnson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Comparative Literature University of Alberta © Daniel Morley Johnson, 2014 Abstract This thesis examines Indigenous rhetorics of resistance from the Treaty Six negotiations in 1876 to the 1930s. Using methods from Comparative Literature and Indigenous literary studies, the thesis situates the rhetoric of northern Plains Indigenous peoples in the context of settler-colonial studies, Indigenous literary nationalism, and Plains Indigenous concepts of nationhood and governance, and introduces the concept of rhetorical autonomy (an extension of literary nationalism) as an organizing framework. The thesis examines the ways Plains Indigenous writers and leaders have resisted settler-colonialism through both rhetorical and physical acts of resistance. Making use of archival and published works, the thesis is a literary and political history of Indigenous peoples from their origins on the northern plains to the period of political organizing after World War I. ii Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge and thank the Indigenous peoples of Treaty Six who have generously allowed me to live and work here in their territory: I hope this thesis honours your histories, is respectful of your stories, and can – in some small way – contribute to your futures. I am grateful to my doctoral committee for their support and guidance: my supervisor, Professor Jonathan Hart, and committee members and examiners, Professors Keavy Martin, Isabel Altamirano-Jiménez, Ellen bielawski, and Odile Cisneros. I am also grateful to Professor Priscilla Settee of the University of Saskatchewan for serving on my committee as external examiner.
