  • THESIS FINAL-With Ack-Nov 23
    UNCOMFORTABLE MIRRORS: RELIGION AND MIMETIC VIOLENCE IN CONTEMPORARY CANADIAN NATIVE LITERATURE by Ken Derry A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of the Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Ken Derry, 2009 ABSTRACT “Uncomfortable Mirrors: Religion and Mimetic Violence in Contemporary Canadian Native Literature” Ph.D. Thesis, 2009 Ken Derry Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto This study considers religion and mimetic violence in the work of four contemporary Canadian Native writers: Maria Campbell, Beatrice Culleton, Thomas King, and Basil Johnston. The mimetic violence examined is both social (the colonial attempt to remake the colonized into a reflection of the dominant culture) and personal (inter-Native conflict in which participants mirror one another in their struggle for a mutually covetted object). In order to investigate the former, I rely on the work of Homi K. Bhabha on colonial mimicry and hybridity; to examine the latter, I employ René Girard’s model of mimetic desire and violence. The principal academic contexts to this work are the study of Native literature and the academic study of religion, including the sub-field of Religion and Literature. After reviewing the relevant literature in these fields, and examining mimetic violence in key texts by the Native authors listed, I make several concluding points. First, I argue that a causal link between colonial violence and inter-Native mimetic violence is evident in the category of Native literature labelled by Thomas King as “polemical.” This includes Campbell’s Halfbreed, Culleton’s In Search of April Raintree, and King’s own Green Grass, Running Water.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Books, Dvds, and Internet Resources on LGBTQ/Two- Spirit Native Americans and First Nations People
    Page 1 of 20 An Annotated Bibliography of Books, DVDs, and Internet Resources on LGBTQ/Two- Spirit Native Americans and First Nations People Compiled by Peter Brunette. Approved by the GLBTRT Resources Committee. Last revised November 8, 2016. Table of Contents Introduction 2 I. General Nonfiction 4 II. Memoirs 8 III. Literary Anthologies 9 IV. Fiction 10 V. Poetry 11 VI. Drama 14 VII. Films 14 VIII. Internet Resources 16 Index 18 Page 2 of 20 Introduction This bibliography includes resources about gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender persons, and two-spirit persons who identify as Native American in the United States and First Nations people in Canada. The books listed in this bibliography have all been published in print, but some may be available as e-books. The sections of this bibliography contain general nonfiction, memoirs, literary anthologies, novels and short story collections, plays, and films. A section on internet resources, including local two- spirit organizations in the United States and Canada, has also been included. Each book and film has a link to the OCLC WorldCat record where you can discover what libraries hold the item. We plan to update this resource in the future. If you have any suggestions or updates, please contact the GLBTRT Resources Committee. A note on terminology: Indigenous identities are deeply complex, and concepts of gender and sexual diversity have many names. Different tribes and communities have different terms and understandings--for example, winkte (Lakota) and nádleehé (Navajo)--that do not always translate into Eurowestern concepts of sexuality and gender. With these tribal- specific concepts in mind, this resource does not prescribe a universal umbrella term, but offers the inclusive acronym LGBTQ and the contemporary term two-spirit.

  • This Two-Spirit Manual Was Created out of Resources That Have Already
    1 A JOURNEY OF HEALING: TWO-SPIRIT PEOPLES JOINING THE CIRCLE HOLISTIC WELLNESS AND RESOURCE MANUAL MARCH 2009 All Nations Hope AIDS Network - March 2009 2 ALL NATIONS HOPE AIDS NETWORK (ANHAN) A Journey of Healing: Two-Spirit Peoples Joining the Circle HOLISTIC WELLNESS AND RESOURCE MANUAL FOR TWO-SPIRIT INDIVIDUALS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS The Two-Spirit Project was financed by Non-Reserve First Nation, Inuit and Métis Communities HIV/AIDS Fund. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the funding agencies or the All Nations Hope AIDS Network. Content compiled by Wesley Keewatin, Two-Spirit Project Coordinator Edited by Bev Cardinal, Project Consultant Regina, Saskatchewan March 2009 All Nations Hope AIDS Network - March 2009 3 DISCLAIMER Many teachings introduced in the Two-Spirit Project manual were not defined by which First Nation group gave the specific teaching. Each teaching is only a reference and each individual is invited to find his/her own identity within his/her own First Nation group. The teachings vary from nation to nation although there are similarities. These teachings were introduced to show the significance of the teachings and how they may apply today. It is very important for the individual to find his/her own First Nation’s teachings because it is in the relevance of the teachings that connections are made with our ancestral memory. It is with this connection that the healing journey begins for many Aboriginal people. This manual also relies heavily on external sources and materials. Every effort has been made to accurately identify and credit the primary sources of this information.

Who pulls us, forgotten, from beneath melted adobe and groomed golf courses and asphalted freeways, asks for our help, rekindles the work of our lives? Who takes up the task of weaving soul to body, carrying the dead from one world to the next, who bears the two halves of spirit in the whole vessel of one body? Where have you been? Why have you waited so long? How did you ever find us, buried under words like joto, like joya, under whips and lies? And what do you call us now? Never mind, little ones. Never mind. You are here now, at last. Come close. Listen. We have so much work to do. (32) The writers I engage in this review, Billy-Ray Belcourt (Driftpile Cree), Gwen Benaway (Anishinabe/Métis), and Joshua Whitehead (Oji-Cree) are taking up this important work, listening, theorizing, creating, (re)membering, and, to use Miranda’s words, “weaving soul to body” while they travel, as queer, trans, and/or Two-Spirit people, through the twenty-first century.

  • Beverly Street the Downtown and Greater Winnipeg Area
    SEPT/OCT. 2006 VOL. 12, NO. 1 FREE Passionate about Tai Chi by Cal Wiebe ast September my friend Sean invited me to join him to L check out a Tai Chi class on Agnes Street. Tai Chi is a Chinese form of exercise consisting of very slow and deliberate movements. I had been to a few classes before and had always enjoyed them but had never stuck with the program very long. This year has been different. I think it is because of our instructor, Master Shao Lei. He has a passion for Tai Chi which he exudes in every class. He brings with him a detailed knowledge of the benefits of Tai Chi and an understanding of the philosophy behind the movements. He began studying martial arts in China at the age of 8. At 19 he was attracted to Tai Chi and since that time has been very disciplined in his training and practice of this art. He came to Canada a few years ago to teach Tai Chi, and to give people in the West an introduction to an authentic style of Tai Chi as it is practiced in China. One of the first things I noticed about the class was how slowly we went through each of the moves, to learn them. The goal was not to get through the series of movements quickly so Usman Mohammed (left), Samir Hassan and a friend at the Winnipeg Central Mosque. that we could say we had mastered a certain form. Instead, the goal seemed to be to understand why we moved in a certain way both from a health Strengthening our Spiritual Fabric perspective and from a martial Tai Chi is a good by Omar Siddiqui fourth generation Canadian Muslims.

  • An Ethnological Approach to Sister Nations' Verse: New Insights Into
    Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses 21 (2008): 103-129 An Ethnological Approach to Sister Nations’ Verse: New Insights into Native American De-colonial Discourse Carmen Sancho Guinda Universidad Politécnica de Madrid [email protected] ABSTRACT With an integrative approach combining critical discourse analysis, Gricean pragmatics and cognitive linguistics, this paper seeks to provide new insights into Native American women’s verse as a lingua franca for the dissemination of social discourses at the intra and intercultural levels. To this end, it starts from the ethnographic notions of speech and discourse communities, applies them to the recently coined concept of Sister Nations, and goes on to explore their poetic production as a multidimensional anthropological practice performing cognitive, mediating and dialogical functions. Sister Nations’ poems not only call into question the traditional definitions of genre and interpretative communities or serve as vehicles for the expression of a dual discourse of reconciliation and resistance, but also evidence the importance of figurative language in the interpretation of cultures and act as ceremonial dialogues between societies in conflict. 1. Framework, aims and object of study: Sister Nations as discourse and speech community In the eyes of linguistic anthropology, also known as anthropological linguistics, ethnolinguistics and ethnography of communication (Hymes, 1972), certain socio- cultural groups can be looked at as speech or linguistic communities that, according to different currents of thought1, may share specific worldviews, moral values, rules, attitudes and experiences, as well as code variants and even concrete genres with which 104 Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses to materialize all the former in distinctive discourses, with a semiotics of their own and in permanent dialogue with other collectivities.

    Anjudas T.V. Open Scholar India [email protected] Navya Raveendran Guest Lecturer KMM Govt. Women’s College India [email protected] Search for Self: An Analysis of Modern Canadian Poetry Abstract Canada’s identity has always been a question either with multiple answers or without any. Canada is known for its mosaic existence that is Canada as a multi-cultural landscape and symbolizes a national ideology of inclusion and diversity. That is to say, Canada as a melting pot is made of English, French, Native, Irish, Scottish, Germans, and Ukrainian, etc. ethno-cultural communities. For the first time Canada was represented in the writings of visitors, explorers, travelers, and British officers and their wives, which reflected their impressions on Canada, thus it failed to address the true self of Canada. It was modern poets who attempted to search and establish Canadian self. They had to struggle to locate the self of Canada as there were no historical records on Canada’s culture IJELLH (International Journal of English Language, Literature in Humanities) Vol. 7, Issue 9, September 2019 120 and tradition except some minute details on the indigenous people in Canada who were categorized into three: Inuit, Metis and First Nations, because, while welcoming various cultures Canada let its own identity to fade away. It made difficult for the poets to locate their roots. Modern Canadian poetry is characterized with the search for an authentic self, crave for noble culture and heritage that they believe to be lost in the past and a space in the world as their own.
