poliTics & naTion poliTics & naTion “real” indians and others Mixed-Blood Urban Native Peoples and Indigenous Nationhood bonita lawrence In this pioneering book, Bonita Lawrence draws on the first-person accounts of thirty Toronto residents of Aboriginal descent, as well as archival materials, sociological research, and her own urban Native heritage and experiences, to shed light on the Canadian government’s efforts to define Native identity through the years. She describes the devastating loss of community that has resulted and how urban Native people have wrestled with their past and current identities. Lawrence also explores the forms of nation-building that can reconcile the differences in experiences and distinct agendas of urban and reserve-based Native communities. boniTa lawrence is an associate professor at York University, where she teaches anti-racism and Native Studies. 2004, 978-0-7748-1103-3 pb $34.95 328 pages, 6 x 9" Aboriginal History Aboriginal Politics & Policy navigating neoliberalism Self-Determination and the Mikisew Cree First Nation gabrielle slowey Navigating Neoliberalism argues that neoliberalism, which drives government policy concerning First Nations in Canada, can also drive self-determination. And in a globalizing world, new opportunities for indigenous governance may transform socioeconomic well-being. Gabrielle Slowey studies the development of First Nations governance in health, education, economic development, and housing. Contrary to the popular belief that First Nations suffer in an age of state retrenchment, privatization, and decentralization, Slowey finds that the Mikisew First Nation has successfully exploited opportunities for greater autonomy and well-being that the current political and economic climate has presented. gabrielle slowey is an assistant professor of political science at York University. 2008, 978-0-7748-1406-5 pb $30.95 160 pages, 6 x 9" 3 maps, 2 tables Aboriginal Law Aboriginal Politics & Policy Political Science 12 Aboriginal Studies 2010 order online: www.ubcpress.ca
aboriginal & meTis HisTories one of the family Metis Culture in Nineteenth–Century Northwestern Saskatchewan brenda macdougall brenda macdougall is an associate professor in the Department of Native Studies at the University of Saskatchewan. February 2010 978-0-7748-1729-5 Hc $85.00 July 2010 978-0-7748-1730-1 pb $34.95 360 pages, 6 x 9" 8 b&w photos, 5 maps, 24 family trees Aboriginal History Saskatchewan History order online: www.ubcpress.ca The central concept that underlies this important new book is wahkootowin, “a worldview linking land, family, and identity in one interconnected web of being.” This original and richly researched work follows four generations of widely connected Metis families in the Île à la Crosse region, illuminating their lives and histories as concrete expressions of this powerful organizing principle learned from their Aboriginal mothers and grandmothers. – Jennifer S.H. Brown, FRSC, professor of history and director, Centre for Rupert’s Land Studies, University of Winnipeg In this groundbreaking study, Brenda Macdougall employs the concept of wahkootowin – the Cree term for a worldview that privileges family and values interconnectedness – to trace the emergence of a Metis community in northern Saskatchewan. Wahkootowin describes how relationships worked and helps to explain how the Metis negotiated with local economic and religious institutions while nurturing a society that emphasized family obligation and responsibility. This innovative exploration of the birth of Metis identity offers a model for future research and discussion. conTenTs Introduction 1 “They are strongly attached to the country of rivers, lakes, and forests”: The Social Landscapes of the Northwest 2 “The bond that connected one human being to another”: Social Construction of the Metis Family 3 “To live in the land of my Mother”: Residency and Patronymic Connections Across the Northwest 4 “After a man has tasted of the comforts of married life this living alone comes pretty tough”: Family, Acculturation, and Roman Catholicism 5 “The only men obtainable who know the country and Indians are all married”: Family, Labour, and the HBC 6 “The HalfBreeds of this place always did and always will dance”: Competition, Freemen, and Contested Spaces 7 “I Thought it advisable to furnish him”: Freemen to Free Traders in the Northwest Fur Trade Conclusion Appendix; Glossary; Notes; Bibliography; Index of Names; Index of Subjects Aboriginal Studies 2010 13
