Events/Évènements-Other/Autres:


1.
Dr. Adam Gaudry (Assistant Professor, University of Saskatchewan) — "The
people who owned the North-West Territories:" Respect, nationhood, and the
western origins of the Métis people

*Wednesday, February 3rd, 6:30pm-8:30pm, Halifax Central Library*

Have you ever wondered who the Métis people are? Did the Crown sign
treaties with the Métis? What is the difference between the Métis as a
people, and métis as a term denoting mixed-racedness?

Come on out to this event, which promises to be thought-provoking and
engaging.

Dr. Adam Gaudry's research explores nineteenth-century Métis political
thought, the formation of a Métis treaty-relationship with Canada in 1870,
and the subsequent non-implementation of that agreement. This project
argues the existence of a "Manitoba treaty" between the Métis people and
Canada necessitates the maintenance of a respectful and bilateral political
relationship between the treaty partners.

(Français suit ci-dessous)

With the recognition of the Métis as constitutionally protected
Aboriginal peoples, the politics of identity has become increasingly
pointed in Canadian society. Claims to Métis identity are contested
both outside and within the community. This session will explore the
historical and contemporary challenges of understanding what it means
to be Métis. The goal will be to reexamine the historical records to
examine the emergence of communities identifying as "Métis" both on
the Atlantic and Pacific Regions of North America to better understand
contemporary cultural processes. Rather than presenting the emergence
of identity as a linear process that is centered in one locale, this
session will explore a process that is inherently multipolar with
various locales, seeing the emergence of Métis identity and this
identity at times being submerged before re-emerging. Thus, the goal
will be to argue for a theoretical framework that recognizes both
culture and historical complexity when in comes to Métis identities.

Avec la reconnaissance des Métis comme peuples autochtones protégés
par la Constitution de 1982, les politiques identitaires métisses
deviennent de plus en plus tendues. Les différentes identités se
voient contestées tant d'un point de vue intérieur qu'extérieur à
celles-ci. Cette session explorera les défis historiques et
contemporains au sujet de ce que signifie être « Métis. » Plus
précisément, elle réexaminera certains documents historiques afin
d'explorer l'émergence de communautés s'identifiant « Métis, » tout
particulièrement dans les régions de l'Atlantique et du Pacifique de
l'Amérique du Nord. Plutôt que de présenter l'émergence de ces
identités comme suivant un processus linéaire et géographiquement
restreint ou délimité, cette session explorera la possibilité d'un
processus d'ethnogenèses souple et multipolaire, accommodant
l'émergence de différentes identités métisses, à de maints endroits,
et selon différents processus de résurgence identitaire. L'objectif de
cette session sera d'explorer un cadre théorique capable de
reconnaître simultanément les divers aspects culturels, de même que la
complexité historique lorsqu'il s'agit des identités métisses.

CASCA/SANA2016 panel CFP: Solidarity in Oral History and Anthropology - Reminder

Reminder/Rappel



Call for Participants: Roundtable on Solidarity in Oral History and
Anthropology



Anthropology and oral history have distinct and powerful ethical
guidelines. In oral history, the co-authored interview is itself the
foundational product of the research relationship. Building on as
assumption of shared authority, oral historians negotiate agreements with
their narrators to make these interviews public, using their real names, in
archives. The narrator retains the right to retract their interview at any
time, and often remains involved in the process of analysis, editing, and
public presentation. In anthropology, the published product(s) of the
research is often the only public artifact of the research relationship,
and it is typical to obscure the identities of participants and places.



As politically engaged scholars and activist researchers working at the
intersections of these two practices, we have struggled to define
solidarity and balance the sometimes conflicting demands of solidarity with
different groups: co-researchers, colleagues, individual narrators, and the
broader communities in which we work. In this roundtable session we will
ask what is generated by the productive tensions between the ethics of oral
history and anthropology.



If interested, please contact Amy Starecheski (aas39@columbia.edu) and Joey
Plaster (joseph.plaster@yale.edu) with a brief statement of interest by
January 25, 2015.

CASCA/SANA2016 panel CFP: Solidarities with Indigenous Peoples in Canada and Beyond - Reminder

CASCA/SANA2016 panel CFP: Solidarities with Indigenous Peoples in
Canada and Beyond


Anthropologists work with and for Indigenous peoples in Canada and
beyond. They expose negative representations about Indigenous peoples
within all forms of media. In consultation with Indigenous
stakeholders, anthropologists revise education programs, systems and
resources providing better access and culturally appropriate
instruction. Anthropologists act as expert witnesses for Indigenous
peoples within the courts. They work toward solutions to pressing
health challenges and problems confronting Indigenous peoples. Applied
anthropologists work closely with Indigenous peoples on a host of
practical projects designed to address routine and extraordinary needs
while creating capacity within communities. Anthropologists
collaborate with Indigenous historians and linguists building archives
using Indigenous knowledge and practices to save and maintain
Indigenous histories and languages. These panels invite, among other
things, anthropologists and Indigenous peoples to reflect upon what
solidarity requires, where solidarity-building has worked or not, and
what could have been done differently.
