    Study Notes

    Migration to the Americas: Theories

    • Bering Land Bridge Theory: Suggests a land connection (Beringia) formed during the last ice age, enabling early humans and animals to migrate from Asia to North America.
    • Evidence supports this theory with archaeological sites containing ancient tools and human remains, along with genetic similarities between Native Americans and ancient Siberian populations.
    • Timing issues challenge the theory as some archeological findings suggest arrival earlier than the land bridge's existence.

    Coastal Migration Theory

    • This theory proposes early humans migrated along the coasts in boats.
    • Evidence includes archaeological sites like Monte Verde in Chile, pointing to early human presence along coastal regions.
    • Geological data suggests sea level changes during the ice age facilitated coastal travel.
    • Genetic evidence, however, suggests diverse lineages, implying multiple origin points.

    Pacific Route Theory

    • Early humans migrated to the Americas via Pacific routes, sailing from Asia to Pacific Islands and then to the Americas.
    • Evidence includes archeological findings showing early human activity in Pacific coastal sites, and possible building techniques suitable for long-distance voyages.
    • Timing issues contradict this theory as the evidence does not necessarily align with arrival via Bering land bridge.
    • Oceanic challenges like navigating vast and dangerous journeys also pose a difficulty for this theory.

    Aboriginal Societies Before Contact

    • Animism: Belief that all elements of nature possess spirits.
    • Deep connection with land, viewed as a living, spiritual source of identity and culture.
    • No concept of individual land ownership; communal resource shared with future generations.

    Effects of Contact on Europeans

    • New foods (potatoes, peppers, sugar, coffee) introduced, influencing agriculture.
    • Medical knowledge from indigenous sources (e.g., scurvy cures).
    • Indigenous principles borrowed for government structures, however, disregarding aboriginal land rights is a major issue.

    Effects of Contact on Aboriginals

    • Exposure to European diseases (smallpox, measles) led to widespread devastation due to lack of immunity.
    • Dependence on European goods (guns, clothing, tools), causing loss of traditional ways.
    • Cultural assimilation and language loss due to colonization.

    WWI Effects on Canada

    • Increased independence from Great Britain
    • Enhanced global standing and participation in international affairs.
    • Rise of women's roles in the workforce, impacting suffrage.
    • Formation of a stronger national identity through shared experiences of war.

    Sovereignty

    • Sovereignty is a state's ability to create and enforce laws.
    • Types of sovereignty include legal, constitutional, territorial, popular, economic, judicial, and international.
    • Russia's motives for invading Ukraine include strategic, economic, and political goals - boosting Eastern European influence and controlling resources/pipelines.

    Sovereignty Struggles in Empires

    • Examples of empire disintegration and resulting sovereignty struggles include the Soviet Union, Ottoman Empire, and Austro-Hungarian Empire.
    • Disintegration often leads to ethnic conflicts, border disputes, and the emergence of new nations, which often struggle to establish their own independent identities.

    Canada's Sovereignty

    • Canada gained sovereignty through military participation and independence in international affairs as a result of World War I.
    • Further developments came with the Statute of Westminster (1931) and the Constitution Act (1982), giving Canada greater control of its laws and institutions.

    Quebec and Sovereignty

    • The 1970 October crisis in Quebec sparked renewed calls for sovereignty and independence amidst discussions about a stronger national identity.
    • This period highlights ongoing tensions between different cultural and linguistic groups in Canada.

    Rights and Freedoms

    • The Charter of Rights and Freedoms' protection of rights includes: freedom of expression, religion, equality, and participation in elections (right to vote).
    • The charter also outlines ways in which these rights can be limited based on the public interest, while ensuring fairness.

    Charter of Rights and Freedoms Case Studies

    • The case studies highlight examples of limitations on individual rights in the Canadian justice system, and how this is justified via the courts.

    Youth Criminal Justice Act

    • The Youth Criminal Justice Act (YCJA) replaces the Young Offenders Act with restorative justice and rehabilitation as goals.
    • YCJA reduces reliance on incarceration for young offenders and focuses on accountability, rehabilitation, and the needs of victims.
    • Age of youth for court proceedings is also a significant point.
