THE WASHAW SIBI EEYOUCH David Lessard Department Of EMERGENCE AND COMMUNITY: THE WASHAW SIBI EEYOUCH David Lessard Department of Anthropology McGill University Montreal November 2013 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy McGill University Montreal, Quebec ©David Lessard, 2013 Abstract Drawing on twelve months of multi-sited ethnography with members of the Washaw Sibi Eeyouch Association (WSEA), this dissertation investigates how notions of community and identity are constructed, interact with each other, and are transformed in a context of ongoing social and institutional change that allows a reflexion about the concept of emergence. Using both ethnographic and historical material, the body of this dissertation deals with different periods of the history of the Harricana River watershed, where Washaw Sibi’s traditional territories are located, namely: the early fur trade, the Treaty and post-Confederation period, and the establishment of the WSEA from the 1980’s to the current period. The WSEA is an incorporated organization working for political recognition and the establishment of a village of their own in northern Quebec. The organization is working toward full inclusion under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA) as a Quebec Cree community, which will bring about probable financial, political and social benefits to the group. During the research, for many decades prior to the research, and still to the present day, members have been scattered across different locales of Northern Quebec and Ontario because of a history of nomadism and government policies which caused the relocation and the social and geographical fragmentation of the group at several times in the past two hundred years. Recognition as a community of JBNQA beneficiaries implies renewed relationships with state institutions and the establishment of forms of collective life similar to those of other Quebec Cree communities. It thus brings fundamental changes for the group and the emergence of a form of communal life that its members have never experienced before as Wahshaw Sibi Eeyouch, the village. The analysis shows how colonial powers and the state have contributed to the emergence of local social and symbolic boundaries, leading to the historical exclusion of the Washaw Sibi group from historical treaties and from the JBNQA, among other things. The discussion analyses the different conflicts, gains and losses emerging when one claims a Cree or Washaw Sibi identity in a context characterized by a multiplicity of overlapping identities, a diversity of historical experiences, and singular political dynamics affecting the group. The dissertation builds on social anthropological theory of subarctic bands to emphasize the fluidity, adaptability and pragmatism of the social organization of regional aboriginal populations. At the same time, it involves concepts of symbolic violence and habitus to deal with the complex relationships between social reproduction and change, and more specifically with local experiences of colonialism as well as ongoing transformations occurring in members’ social networks and living conditions. 2 Résumé S’appuyant sur douze mois de travail ethnographique multi-site avec les membres de l’Association Washaw Sibi Eeyouch (WSEA), cette thèse analyse comme les notions de communauté et d’identité sont construites, interagissent entre elles et se transforment dans un contexte de changement social et institutionnel appelant à une réflexion sur le concept d’émergence. À l’aide de matériel ethnographique et historique, le corps de la thèse traite de différents moments de l’histoire du bassin hydrographique de la rivière Harricana, où sont principalement situés les territoires traditionnels de Washaw Sibi. Principalement, ces sections traitent de la traite des fourrures, la période suivant la Confédération, l’ère des traités et l’établissement de la WSEA, des années 1980 jusqu’à la situation actuelle. La WSEA est une organisation incorporée travaillant à la reconnaissance politique du groupe et à l’établissement d’un village dans le nord du Québec. L’organisation travaille à l’inclusion complète du groupe sous la Convention de la Baie James et du Nord québécois (CBJNQ) en tant que communauté crie, ce qui apporterait des bénéficies financiers, politiques et sociaux au groupe. Depuis plusieurs décennies jusqu’au moment de réaliser cette recherche, les membres de ce dernier ont été dispersés dans différentes localités du nord du Québec et de l’Ontario étant donné leur nomadisme traditionnel et une histoire de politiques gouvernementales qui ont amené la relocalisation du groupe et sa fragmentation sociale et géographique, plusieurs fois au cours des deux derniers siècles. La reconnaissance en tant que communauté bénéficiaire de la CBJNQ implique l’émergence de relations renouvelées avec certaines institutions autochtones et étatiques et le développement de formes de vie collective similaire à celles d’autres communautés cries du Québec. Cela signifie donc des changements fondamentaux pour le groupe et l’émergence d’une vie communautaire que ses membres n’ont jamais expérimenté auparavant comme Washaw Sibi Eeyouch. L’analyse montre comment les pouvoirs coloniaux et l’état ont contribué à l’émergence de frontières symboliques et sociales locales, menant à l’exclusion historique du groupe de Washaw Sibi par rapport aux traités historiques et à la CBJNQ, entre autres. La discussion analyse les différents conflits, gains et pertes liés au fait de se réclamer d’une identité crie ou Washaw Sibi dans un contexte caractérisé par une multiplicité d’identités imbriquées les unes dans les autres, une diversité d’expériences historiques et des dynamiques politiques particulières affectant le groupe. La thèse se réfère à la théorie anthropologique concernant les bandes autochtones du subarctique qui insistent sur la fluidité, l’adaptabilité et le pragmatisme de l’organisation sociale au niveau régional. Aussi, la thèse s’appuie sur les concepts de violence symbolique et d’habitus pour traiter des relations complexes entre reproduction et changement social et, plus spécifiquement, des expériences locales du colonialisme. 3 Acknowledgements This dissertation would not have been possible without the presence, the help and the support of many people to whom I wish to express my gratitude.

  • Changing Contribution of Snow to Hudson Bay River Discharge
    CHANGING CONTRIBUTION OF SNOW TO HUDSON BAY RIVER DISCHARGE by Bunu Sharma M.Sc., Tribhuvan University, 2012 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES (ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE) UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA April 2016 © Bunu Sharma, 2016 Abstract Hudson Bay (HB) in northern Canada has experienced changing volumes and seasonality of streamflows in the last 100 years. These shifts may be due to changing snow accumulation and ablation regimes. This study quantifies the changing contribution of snow to river discharge from 20 major river basins draining into HB (including James Bay) between 1980 and 2013. The analysis is based on daily snow water equivalent (SWE) data from GlobSnow, and daily streamflow data from the Water Survey of Canada, Hydro-Quebec, and Le Centre d'Expertise Hydrique du Quebec. The contribution of snowrnelt to streamflow generation is estimated from the ratio of water year maximum SWE to runoff. The Mann-Kendall test is performed for evaluation of trends and their significance. In HB, the snowmelt contribution to streamflow generation during 1980 to 2013 decreased by 15.9% (34 yrY 1 and changes in hydrological conditions are observed. The potential impacts of these changes on ecological and socio- economic systems across much of Canada's North are discussed. 11 Table of Contents Abstract ................ .......................................................................................................................

  • Chronology, Paleoecology and Stratigraphy of Late Pleistocene Sediments from the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada
    Chronology, Paleoecology and Stratigraphy of Late Pleistocene Sediments from the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada by April Sue Rogers Dalton A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Earth Sciences Department of Earth Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by April Sue Rogers Dalton 2017 Chronology, Paleoecology and Stratigraphy of Late Pleistocene Sediments from the Hudson Bay Lowlands, Canada April Sue Rogers Dalton Doctor of Philosophy in Earth Sciences Department of Earth Sciences University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Stratigraphic records in the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL), Canada, offer rare insight into local paleoenvironments and the Late Pleistocene climate system over North America. Age determinations on sub-till non-glacial materials suggest that the HBL, lying near the centre of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) extent of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS), was ice-free for parts of Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3; 57,000 to 29,000 yr BP), MIS 5 (130,000 to 71,000 yr BP) and MIS 7 (243,000 to 190,000 yr BP). The MIS 3 age assignment is notable since it suggests the possibility of significant retreat of the LIS and a relatively high global sea level, both of which are a contrast to assumptions that North America was moderately glaciated, and that global sea level was relatively low during that time interval. Paleoecological proxies, including pollen and plant macrofossils, suggest that the HBL contained peatland and boreal vegetation during all previous non-glacial intervals, and pollen-based quantitative reconstructions of sites which are hypothesized to be MIS 3 and MIS 5a (~80,000 yr BP) in age suggest that climate during MIS 3 may have had less annual precipitation than during MIS 5a and present day.

  • Plan of the Proposed North Harricana River Aquatic Reserve and Its Location Are Shown on the Maps in Schedules A.1 and A.2
    Proposed North Harricana river aquatic reserve Modified March 20th 2008 1 1. Plan and description 1.1 Geographic location, boundaries and dimensions The plan of the proposed North Harricana river aquatic reserve and its location are shown on the maps in Schedules A.1 and A.2. The proposed North Harricana river aquatic reserve is located in the Nord-du-Québec region, between 50°11’ and 51°00’ latitude north and 79°07’ and 79°20’ longitude west. It is situated to the south of James Bay, roughly 110 km north-north-west of ville de Matagami. It lies within the territory of municipalité de Baie-James. The proposed aquatic reserve covers an area of 250.8 km². Its boundaries coincide roughly with what is visible to an observer from the centre of the river. It comprises a corridor between 1.5 km and 4.5 km wide, taking in the main bed of the Harricana river and the slopes of its valley, from km 125 to km 32 from its mouth, in other words the northern section of the river. The proposed aquatic reserve stops at the Ontario boundary, at roughly 30 km from the river mouth. 1.2. Ecological overview The area is in the natural province of the Abitibi and James Bay Lowlands. It protects part of a river that is characteristic of the natural region of the James Bay Coastal Plain and the natural region of the Turgeon River Plain. 1.2.1. Representative elements Climate: The proposed aquatic reserve is characterized by a cold subpolar, subhumid continental climate, with a middle growing season.
