law between Justice and certainty Treaty Making in British Columbia andrew woolford Since the BC treaty process was established in 1992, two discourses have become prominent within the treaty negotiations. The first, a discourse of justice, asks how we can remedy the past injustices imposed on BC First Nations. The second, a discourse of certainty, asks whether historical repair can occur in a manner that provides a better future for all British Columbians. Andrew Woolford examines the interplay between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal visions of justice and certainty to determine whether there is a space between the two concepts in which modern treaties can be made. He suggests that greater attention to justice is necessary if we are to initiate a process of reconciliation. andrew woolford is associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Manitoba. 2006, 978-0-7748-1132-3 pb $34.95 248 pages, 6 x 9" Aboriginal Law Aboriginal Politics & Policy Sociology educaTion & HealTH braiding Histories Learning from Aboriginal Peoples’ Experiences and Perspectives susan d. dion This book proposes a new pedagogy for addressing Aboriginal subject material, shifting the focus from an essentializing or “othering” exploration of the attributes of Aboriginal peoples to a focus on historical experiences that inform our understanding of contemporary relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples. Reflecting on the process of writing a series of stories, Dion takes up questions of (re)presenting the lived experiences of Aboriginal people in the service of pedagogy. Investigating what happened when the stories were taken up in history classrooms, she illustrates how our investments in particular identities structure how we hear and what we are “willing to know." susan d. dion is a professor in the Faculty of Education at York University. 2009, 978-0-7748-1518-5 pb $34.95 252 pages, 6 x 9" 16 b&w photos Aboriginal Education 30 Aboriginal Studies 2010 order online: www.ubcpress.ca

In April 2008 Inuit Tapiritsat Kanatmi, the pan-Canadian Inuit political organization, called a national summit to address the failure of current schooling to meet the academic, social, and cultural needs of Inuit students in formal schooling in the four Inuit regions of Canada. This book clearly shows that when schools create different power relationships with Inuit families and communities, positive results can be seen. – Joanne Tompkins, author of Teaching in a Cold and Windy Place: Change in an Inuit School Since the mid-twentieth century, sustained contact between Inuit and newcomers in the Eastern Arctic has led to profound changes in education, including the experience of colonization and progress toward the re-establishment of traditional education in schools. Heather McGregor assesses these trends over four periods – the traditional, the colonial (1945–70), the territorial (1971–81), and the local (1982–99). She concludes that education is most successful when Inuit involvement and local control support a system reflecting Inuit culture and visions. conTenTs Introduction 1 History of the Eastern Arctic: Foundations and Themes 2 Living and Learning on the Land: Inuit Education in the Traditional Period 3 Qallunaat Schooling: Assimilation in the Colonial Period 4 Educational Change: New Possibilities in the Territorial Period 5 Reclaiming the Schools: Inuit Involvement in the Local Period Afterword Appendix: Inuit Qaujimajatuqanginnik (IQ) Guiding Principles Notes; Bibliography; Index Aboriginal Studies 2010 31
