Abstract:

In the past few decades, Indian art has been available to the mainstream under the supervision of Western science and art history. For the sake of cultural survival and identity, countless Native artists, curators, critics, and writers have objected to these often wrongful and discriminating art histories and scientific classifications. Indian artists are re-writing their history from Native perspective, and as a result, the misrepresentation of Indian art has begun to be recognized by those working in contemporary art galleries and museums. Today many contemporary spaces support and give cont

Abstract:

The debate of Indigenous art as contemporary art in Western art discourse has been ongoing since the acceptance of Indigenous art as contemporary art in the early 1990s. This has resulted in a collision of four diverse fields; Western art history, Western art criticism, anthropology and Indigenous cultural material. The debate stems from the problematised way the term contemporary is defined by globalised Euro-Western art and its institutions. This thesis considers the value of applying the concept of the contemporary to Indigenous art practices and art, in particular as a mode for cultural se

Abstract:

This study offers a critique of the First Nations Property Ownership Act (FNPOA), a contemporary proposal to implement private property regimes on First Nations reserves in Canada. First, I examine the arguments used by proponents of the FNPOA to motivate support for this legislation. I demonstrate how, despite its similarity with past attempts to privatize First Nations reserve lands, the FNPOA represents a re-articulation of these older proposals as a type of recognition, where the implementation of fee simple property on reserves is cast as “restoring” pre-colonial property rights regimes.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I argue that the First Nations Governance Act (FNGA) shares the colonial aspirations of other pieces of historical legislation in the Canadian context. The FNGA attempted to have First Nations' local governing structures mirror those of the Canadian state. As a result, this piece of legislation fails to recognize and respect the jurisdictional authority of First Nations over their own internal socio-political structures and systems. The FNGA is therefore a colonial assault on First Nations' jurisdiction in the realm of governance undermining the right to self-government and sel

In Canada, almost everybody is familiar with stereotypes about ‘Native social dysfunction’.

In Daughters Are Forever, the Sto:lo / Squamish writer and activist Lee Maracle deconstructs these racist clichés by emphasizing the impact of the colonial process on real-life Native populations.

This river, the Wolastoq, and its large drainage basin and tributaries, forms the heart of the homelands of the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) First Nation.

Abstract:

A close reading of the literature from Australia and internationally has disclosed an alarming, standardized practice of “closure” of birthing units in rural and remote communities. As a result, the forced relocation of women from their rural communities to birth in a centralized hospital particularly disadvantages First Nation’s Women. Being born ‘off country’ has the potential to disconnect women from their culture, traditions and family. “Closure” of birthing units has left a gap in the provision of equitable maternity care and highlights the lack of services and choice regarding models of

Abstract:

The concept of ‘artistic terra nullius’ refers to the violent erasure of First Nations peoples in colony Australia and highlights their absence – particularly Aboriginal Women – in the white-dominated arts world. This doctoral research by creative project and exegesis sets out to document and respond to the work of Aboriginal women in art and community. I have used practice-led inquiry as the main methodology, informed by my own roles as artist, writer, curator, community researcher and as a Wemba-Wemba & Gunditjmara, matriarchal and sovereign woman. Practising community ways of 'being, knowin

Abstract:

De 2003 à 2017, le jardin des Premières-Nations du Jardin botanique de Montréal a été le lieu d’exposition de 12 œuvres d’artistes autochtones dans le cadre du Concours d’œuvre murale éphémère lancé par Sylvie Paré. Ce mémoire rassemble l’ensemble de cette exposition afin d’en relever le discours général et les liens que les œuvres entretiennent entre elles, avec le Jardin et avec les territoires physiques et imaginaires. À travers une analyse formelle et symbolique des œuvres qui intègre les ontologies, épistémologies et méthodologies des Premières Nations, je souhaite réfléchir aux liens qui

Abstract:

Kwak’wala is an endangered language spoken by the Kwakwaka’wakw First Nations of the central coast of British Columbia. This dissertation seeks to address the ramifications of Kwak’wala language loss to Kwakwaka’wakw cultural worldview. It asks the general question, “How much of an effect does Kwak’wala language loss have on cultural understanding?” It seeks to answer the question through a specific analysis of the concept of space mapped through linguistic and artistic expression. The concept of space is integral to the understanding of the body in relationship to objects, people, social

Abstract:

The prevalence of Hepatitis C (HCV) in the First Nation youth population is unknown, however, it is understood that the rate for HCV in First Nation people is 7% higher compared to the non-First Nation population. HCV is contracted via blood to blood contact through activities such as sharing syringes, crack pipes, tattoo and piercing equipment with someone infected with HCV. In this qualitative study, ethnography research methodology and a community-based research philosophy were used to examine why First Nation youth are at risk for HCV within the 13 - 17-year-old age group and what re

Abstract:

This dissertation examines “race” politics in Vancouver during the interwar period as one origin of human rights activism. Race-based rights activism is a fundamental element of the modern human rights movement and human rights consciousness in Canada. The rhetoric of race-based rights was problematic from its inception because activists asserted equality rights based on an assumption of racial difference – a paradox that persists in human rights rhetoric today. While the late interwar period marks the origin of modern rights rhetoric, it also reveals a parallel turning point in the history of

Abstract:

The barrage of negative media reports coupled with reactionary federal legislation have led many Canadians to believe that most First Nation governments are corrupt. Although systematic evidence of widespread corruption has yet to materialize, governance problems in some First Nations communities do exist. With the majority of First Nations operating under the band governance system imposed by the Indian Act, political troubles are often attributed to this law. Despite the fact the Indian Act creates conditions for governance problems to occur, other First Nations have resisted its enticement
