Abstract

"Since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its Calls to Action in June 2015, governments, churches, non-profit, professional and community organizations, corporations, schools and universities, clubs and individuals have asked: "How can I/we participate in reconciliation?" Recognizing that reconciliation is not only an ultimate goal, but a decolonizing process of journeying in ways that embody everyday acts of resistance, resurgence, and solidarity, coupled with renewed commitments to justice, dialogue, and relationship-building, Pathways of Reconciliation helps readers find their way forward. The essays in Pathways of Reconciliation address the themes of reframing, learning and healing, researching, and living. They engage with different approaches to reconciliation (within a variety of reconciliation frameworks, either explicit or implicit) and illustrate the complexities of the reconciliation process itself. They canvass multiple and varied pathways of reconciliation, from Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives, reflecting a diversity of approaches to the mandate given to all Canadians by the TRC with its Calls to Action. Together the authors -- academics, practitioners, students and ordinary citizens -- demonstrate the importance of trying and learning from new and creative approaches to thinking about and practicing reconciliation and reflect on what they have learned from their attempts (both successful and less successful) in the process."--

Abstract

"It's about the role that music, film, visual art, and Indigenous cultural practices play in and beyond Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission on Indian Residential Schools. The essays question the ways in which components of the reconciliation, such as apology and witnessing, have social and political effects for residential-schools survivors, intergenerational survivors, and settler publics."--

Abstract

Entre 1867 et 2000, le gouvernement canadien a placé plus de 150 000 enfants autochtones dans des pensionnats d’un bout à l’autre du pays. Les autorités gouvernementales et les missionnaires étaient d’avis qu’afin de « civiliser et de christianiser » les enfants autochtones, il fallait les éloigner de leurs parents et de leur communauté d’origine respective. La vie de ces enfants au pensionnat était empreinte de solitude et d’exclusion. La discipline y était stricte et le déroulement du "idien, lui, fortement régenté. Les langues et les cultures autochtones étaient dénigrées et réprimées. L’éducation et la formation technique prenaient trop souvent la forme de corvées et de tâches ménagères assurant l’autonomie des pensionnats. La négligence à l’égard des enfants fut institutionnalisée et le manque de supervision donna lieu à des situations où les élèves furent victimes de sévices physiques et sexuels. Une poursuite judiciaire déposée par les anciens pensionnaires a mené, en 2008, à la mise sur pied de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada. Étant l’aboutissement de plus de six ans de recherche, le rapport final de la Commission présente l’histoire des pensionnats ainsi que leur héritage, et trace la voie de la réconciliation. Honorer la vérité, réconcilier pour l’avenir résume les six volumes constituant le rapport final de la Commission. Il assimile les pensionnats à l’instrument d’un génocide culturel et indique, par le fait même, que ces pensionnats s’inscrivaient dans le cadre plus large de la politique colonialiste du gouvernement canadien à l’égard des peuples autochtones. Le rapport établit de quelle façon le sous-financement chronique a mené à des conditions de vie malsaines et à des taux de mortalité bien plus élevés que ceux caractérisant le reste de la population canadienne d’âge scolaire. De plus, il indique clairement que le gouvernement avait été avisé des conséquences de ses politiques et que d’autres options lui avaient été proposées, options qu’il a choisi d’ignorer et qui auraient pourtant réduit le taux de mortalité au sein des pensionnats. Les perturbations que ces pensionnats ont causées aux élèves autochtones, à leur famille et aux collectivités sont encore palpables à ce jour. Elles se mesurent par la perte des langues et des liens familiaux dans les communautés autochtones, ainsi que par les écarts qui continuent de séparer les Autochtones et les non-Autochtones du Canada sur les plans de la santé, de l’éducation et de l’emploi. La réconciliation permettra de reconnaître que les pensionnats faisaient partie d’un ensemble plus large de politiques visant à priver les Autochtones de leurs terres, de leur culture, de leur vie spirituelle et de leurs propres gouvernements. Les quatre-vingt-quatorze appels à l’action de la Commission établissent des mesures concrètes à appliquer pour réparer la relation tourmentée qui unit les peuples autochtones à la Couronne, et pour établir des rapports harmonieux entre Autochtones et non-Autochtones.

Abstract

Changed Forever is the first study to gather a range of texts produced by Native Americans who, voluntarily or through compulsion, attended government-run boarding schools in the last decades of the nineteenth and the first decades of the twentieth centuries. Arnold Krupat examines Hopi, Navajo, and Apache boarding-school narratives that detail these students' experiences. The book's analyses are attentive to the topics (topoi) and places (loci) of the boarding schools. Some of these topics are: (re-)Naming students, imposing on them the regimentation of Clock Time, compulsory religious instruction and practice, and corporal punishment, among others. These topics occur in a variety of places, like the Dormitory, the Dining Room, the Chapel, and the Classroom. Krupat's close readings of these narratives provide cultural and historical context as well as critical commentary. In her study of the Chilocco Indian School, K. Tsianina Lomawaima asked poignantly, "What has become of the thousands of Indian voices who spoke the breath of boarding-school life?" Changed Forever lets us hear some of them.

Abstract

“I am going to tell you how we are treated. I am always hungry.” — Edward B., a student at Onion Lake School (1923) "[I]f I were appointed by the Dominion Government for the express purpose of spreading tuberculosis, there is nothing finer in existance that the average Indian residential school.” — N. Walker, Indian Affairs Superintendent (1948) For over 100 years, thousands of Aboriginal children passed through the Canadian residential school system. Begun in the 1870s, it was intended, in the words of government officials, to bring these children into the “circle of civilization,” the results, however, were far different. More often, the schools provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and often abuse. Using previously unreleased government documents, historian John S. Milloy provides a full picture of the history and reality of the residential school system. He begins by tracing the ideological roots of the system, and follows the paper trail of internal memoranda, reports from field inspectors, and letters of complaint. In the early decades, the system grew without planning or restraint. Despite numerous critical commissions and reports, it persisted into the 1970s, when it transformed itself into a social welfare system without improving conditions for its thousands of wards. A National Crime shows that the residential system was chronically underfunded and often mismanaged, and documents in detail and how this affected the health, education, and well-being of entire generations of Aboriginal children.

Abstract

After a theoretical and historical introduction to American Indian boarding-school literature, Changed Forever, Volume II examines the autobiographical writings of a number of Native Americans who attended the federal Indian boarding schools. Considering a wide range of tribal writers, some of them well known—like Charles Eastman, Luther Standing Bear, and Zitkala-Sa—but most of them little known—like Walter Littlemoon, Adam Fortunate Eagle, Reuben Snake, and Edna Manitowabi, among others—the book offers the first wide-ranging assessment of their texts and their thoughts about their experiences at the schools.

Abstract

"It can start with a knock on the door one morning. It is the local Indian agent, or the parish priest, or, perhaps, a Mounted Police officer." So began the school experience of many Indigenous children in Canada for more than a hundred years, and so begins the history of residential schools prepared by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Between 2008 and 2015, the TRC provided opportunities for individuals, families, and communities to share their experiences of residential schools and released several reports based on 7000 survivor statements and five million documents from government, churches, and schools, as well as a solid grounding in secondary sources. A Knock on the Door, published in collaboration with the National Research Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, gathers material from the several reports the TRC has produced to present the essential history and legacy of residential schools in a concise and accessible package that includes new materials to help inform and contextualize the journey to reconciliation that Canadians are now embarked upon. Survivor and former National Chief of the Assembly First Nations, Phil Fontaine, provides a Foreword, and an Afterword introduces the holdings and opportunities of the National Centre for Truth & Reconciliation, home to the archive of recordings, and documents collected by the TRC. As Aimée Craft writes in the Afterword, knowing the historical backdrop of residential schooling and its legacy is essential to the work of reconciliation. In the past, agents of the Canadian state knocked on the doors of Indigenous families to take the children to school. Now, the Survivors have shared their truths and knocked back. It is time for Canadians to open the door to mutual understanding, respect, and reconciliation.

Abstract

Warrior Women makes visible the ongoing intergenerational narrative reverberations (Young, 2003; 2005) shaped through Canadas residential school era which denied the communal and cultural, economic, educational, human, familial, linguistic, and spiritual rights of Aboriginal people. Attending to these narrative reverberations foregrounded the continuing colonial barriers faced by six Aboriginal post secondary students as they composed their lives in a current era of increasing standardization in Canadian universities and schools. Yet, what also became visible were ways in which the Aboriginal teachers increasingly reclaimed or drew upon their ancestral ways of knowing and being. In this retelling and reliving of their stories to live by (Connelly & Clandinin, 1999) the teachers were composing counterstories (Lindemann Nelson, 1995). While they wakefully composed and lived out these counterstories with intentions of interrupting dominant social, cultural, and institutional narratives they were, at the same time, alongside children, youth, grandchildren, family members, community members, Elders, and colleagues with whom they interacted, co-composing new possible intergenerational narrative reverberations. These new possible intergenerational narrative reverberations carry significant potential to reshape the future life possibilities of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal children, youth, families, and communities in Canada; they also carry significant potential to reshape the school and post secondary places experienced by future generations of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal post secondary students.
