Study Notes
-
ey for decolonization efforts within educational contexts.Indigenous Peoples in Canada
- Indigenous peoples (First Nations, Inuit, Métis) are the original inhabitants of North America.
- "Indigenous" is the preferred term, though "Aboriginal" is also used.
- Canada's Constitution recognizes First Nations, Inuit, and Métis as distinct groups with unique histories and cultures.
First Nations
- Canada has over 630 First Nations communities.
- First Nations are categorized as status or non-status, defined by the Indian Act.
- Notable First Nations in Newfoundland and Labrador include the Innu Bands of Natuashish and Sheshatshiu, and the Mi'kmaq of Miawpukek and Qalipu.
Inuit
- Inuit primarily reside in Canada's Arctic regions.
- Inuit communities in Newfoundland and Labrador include Nain, Hopedale, Postville, Makkovik, and Rigolet, part of a larger Inuit population in 53 communities across northern Canada.
Métis
- Métis are descendants of First Nations and European ancestry.
- They possess a unique culture and identity developed from this mixed heritage.
Colonization
- Colonization profoundly disrupted Indigenous ways of life, imposing external political control, enforcing economic dependence, and creating inequitable social services.
- This includes institutionalizing systemic racism.
- Colonization is a form of oppression rooted in dominance, control, exploitation, and marginalization.
- It manifested through land theft, cultural erasure, economic dependence, and inequities.
- Canada's existence is rooted in colonization.
- In British Columbia, for example, 95% of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit land remains unceded.
- Colonization justified through framing Indigenous peoples as culturally inferior, leading to policies of assimilation (ex: residential schools, forced relocations).
- Colonization significantly impacted Inuit and Innu cultures and lands in Labrador, disrupting their practices and resources.
- Colonial economic pursuits and policies permanently transformed Labrador's landscape.
Residential Schools
