Dans son recueil poétique Manifeste Assi , l’écrivaine innue Natasha Kanapé Fontaine adresse un cri semblable à celui de la négritude pour évoquer le mode d’être des Innus et leur relation à la Terre. Cet article entrevoit ce recueil comme un exercice d’ontologie décoloniale où il faut réapprendre à être Innu en retrouvant une continuité avec les éléments et la Terre. En décrivant un sujet animique solidaire avec son environnement et les ancêtres, cette pensée explore les manières de réparer le lien des êtres humains à la Terre. L’ontologie décoloniale signifie ici une relativisation de la rationalité occidentale au profit d’une pensée qui est longtemps demeurée invisible.

In Canada today, there is no single political body which claims to represent all Indigenous people. Instead, separate organisations – the Assembly of First Nations, Métis National Council, and Congress of Aboriginal Peoples – represent status First Nations, Métis, and non-status communities. This article traces the attempts of the National Indian Council (NIC) to create unity across these different groups. In the early 1960s, Indigenous political leaders from across the country viewed national representation as an urgent need, yet by 1968 the NIC folded to make way for separate organisations. Why did this attempt to build unity fail? Examining the NIC’s political aims and contested visions of unity within the organisation, this article will demonstrate that attempting to overcome differences in status and treaty rights led to a failure to engage with the real concerns faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Over the years, I have given a great number of talks about the First Nations community in the academic, political, and public-service realm. On numerous occasions I have been quizzed by audience members about the incompetent and corrupt chiefs. I am also asked to defend their ‘exorbitant salaries’. To counter these misinformed and inaccurate notions, in this article I will give a more accurate depiction of the First Nations chiefs and their work life. I also explore the complex and restrictive world in which they must govern their heavily regulated and closely knit communities.

This article presents the results of studies conducted by Canadian academics in collaboration with Sturgeon Lake and Pelican Narrows First Nations communities (Saskatchewan, Canada). The objectives of the project were: (1) developing a research ethics protocol for collecting, studying, and preserving indigenous artefacts; (2) measurements of chemical compositions of artefacts; (3) collecting oral stories of Elders. Within the project, two workshops were organized in Pelican Narrows and Sturgeon Lake. Post-secondary students were trained to work on the project. The laboratory measurements of chemical compositions of artefacts were conducted at the Scanning Electron Microscope Laboratory (University of Alberta), and the Saskatchewan Isotope Laboratory (University of Saskatchewan). The carbon-dating measurements were carried out at André E. Lalonde Accelerator Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (University of Ottawa). The statistical analysis of chemical compositions was conducted in order to test the provenance similarities of artefacts. The project was supported by the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Anglican Bishop William Carpenter Bompas and Archdeacon Robert McDonald spent nearly forty years in the far American north ‘spreading the word’ to Indigenous peoples living along the Yukon River in the second half of the nineteenth century. This article investigates their work primarily among the Gwichyà Gwich’in from their arrival in the 1860s to the mid-1870s when the 141st meridian west was established, creating an international border between Alaska and the Yukon, the United States and British America. The border’s creation had enormous implications for the Hudson Bay Company at Fort Yukon (Gwichyaa Zheh) because it was discovered to be west of the international boundary in Alaska and was moved further east into today’s Yukon Territories. The border forced Indigenous people to pick a side, American or British, and tested loyalties to their minister. The ‘spiritual borderland’ thus offers a window into the lives and ministries of two important northern missionaries during the initial contact period, as well as assessing their successes and failures among northern peoples.

Abstract:In her latest poetry, Margaret Atwood explores the passing of time in her personal life and from a global perspective. The mortal human condition is investigated in our encounter with suffering and death. The writer embarks on a voyage into the underworld, where they are transformed in a confrontation with death and acquire knowledge and wisdom. This transformation is shared in language; that is, through storytelling. Accepting the dark side is crucial to understanding the duality of our world, where good and evil coexist. The protagonist feels alive and renewed despite the difficulties of ageing and the cruelties of our world. This regeneration occurs in the imagination and offers possible alternative views in a shape-shifting mode that does not give definite answers and is continuously changing. The descent into the underworld is therefore a renewal in art–that is, in poetry and storytelling–it creates life and allows survival.Abstract:Dans ses derniers poèmes, Margaret Atwood explore le passage du temps dans sa vie personnelle et dans une perspective globale.
