It began life in its present location in Gatineau, Quebec (formerly Hull) in 1989 as the Museum of Man. In 1990, it rejected the sexist name and assumed the triumphalist name Museum of Civilization. In 2013, the government of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper changed the name yet again to the assimilationist Canadian Museum of History.2 Williams, The American Indian in Western Legal Thought, 1991.3 Cardoza-Orlandi, “Latino/a-Hispanic American Religion,” 94–5.4 Gumbel, “Junípero Serra’s BrutalStory in Spotlight as Pope Prepares for Canonisation,” The Guardian (Sept. 23, 2015), Junípero Serra's brutal story in spotlight as pope prepares for canonisation | Pope Francis | The Guardian (6/28/2023).5 Ibid.6 Kent, Commentaries on American Law, 308–13.7 21 U.S. 543 (1823).8 White Wolf Fassett, “Where Do We Go from Here?, 182.9 https://landback.org/manifesto/ (6/29/2023).10 448 U.S. 371 (1980).11 P.L. 103–150,103d Congress Joint Resolution 19 (November 23, 1993).12 Weaver, “Native Americans in U.S. Society,” 43.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJace WeaverJace Weaver is the Franklin Professor of Religion and Native American Studies at the University of Georgia.
