Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These volumes present findings of research into the contemporary situation of First Nations in Canada. The first volume concerns those conditions & programs that are primarily economic, political, and administrative. After an introduction on the research, vol. 1 discusses the concept & goals of economic development and describes the sources & methodology of an economic survey of a sample of Indian bands. Chapter 4 presents general findings of the survey, covering a population of 35,683 Indians in 35 bands and discussing such matters as employment, earnings, and factors affecting economic prosperity. Chapter 5 examines the degree to which the different levels of economic development achieved by these bands are correlated with social, economic, and cultural variables. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss socio-economic & socio-cultural factors influencing economic development. Chapter 8 summarizes the major trends & process of economic development for Indians, as revealed in the research and the final chapter draws conclusions & makes recommendations regarding major economic issues. The second volume addresses two issues related to the provision & adequacy of Indian education and to the leadership, organization, and direction of Indian reserves. Topics covered include: the competing ideologies in Indian education; administrative & educational structures of Indian schools; education of the Indian child; guidelines for a philosophy of Indian education; formal organization & decision-making in indigenous communities; general aspects of band councils; patterns & trends in band council elections; and the decision-making process in band councils.

Download or read book First Nations Second Thoughts written by Thomas Flanagan and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dissects the prevailing orthodoxy determining public policy toward Canada's aboriginal peoples, an orthodoxy holding that aboriginals belong to "nations" entitled to specific rights. For example, Indians and Inuit now have rights to self-government, immunity from taxation, hunting and fishing rights beyond those of other citizens, free education, housing and medical care. Flanagan (political science, U. of Alberta) argues that such benefits are actually destructive to the people they are supposed to help and that the only people empowered by such entitlements are a small elite of aboriginal activists, politicians, administrators, middlemen, and well-connected entrepreneurs.

Download or read book Culture Wars written by Dr. Deborah James and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between anthropologists' ethnographic investigations and the lived social worlds in which these originate is a fundamental issue for anthropology. Where some claim that only native voices may offer authentic accounts of culture and hence that ethnographers are only ever interpreters of it, others point out that anthropologists are, themselves, implanted within specific cultural contexts which generate particular kinds of theoretical discussions. The contributors to this volume reject the premise that ethnographer and informant occupy different and incommensurable "cultural worlds." Instead they investigate the relationship between culture, context, and anthropologists' models and accounts in new ways. In doing so, they offer fresh insights into this key area of anthropological research. Deborah James is Professor of Anthropology at the London School of Economics. Her research interests, focused on South Africa, include migration, ethnomusicology, ethnicity, property relations and the politics of land reform. She is author of Songs of the Women Migrants: Performance and Identity in South Africa (Edinburgh University Press, 1999) and of Gaining Ground? "Rights" and "Property" in South African Land Reform (Routledge, 2007). Evelyn Plaice is Associate Professor of Anthropology jointly appointed to the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Education at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. Her interests include land, identity and the ethnopolitics of land restitution, and the anthropology of education. She has conducted research in both South Africa and Canada and is the author of .The Native Game: Indian-Settler Relations in Central Labrador (ISER, 1990). Christina Toren is Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. Her fieldwork areas are Fiji and the Pacific, and Melanesia, and her theoretical interests include exchange processes; spatio-temporality as a dimension of human being; sociality, kinship and ideas of the person; the analysis of ritual; epistemology; ontogeny as a historical process. Her books include Making Sense of Hierarchy: cognition as social process in Fiji (Athlone, 1990) and Mind, Materiality and History: Explorations in Fijian Ethnography (Routledge, 1999).

Download or read book Citizens Plus written by Alan C. Cairns and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Citizens Plus, Alan Cairns unravels the historical record to clarify the current impasse in negotiations between Aboriginal peoples and the state. He considers the assimilationist policy assumptions of the imperial era, examines more recent government initiatives, and analyzes the emergence of the nation-to-nation paradigm given massive support by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. We are battered by contending visions, he argues - a revised assimilation policy that finds its support in the Canadian Alliance Party is countered by the nation-to-nation vision, which frames our future as coexisting solitudes. Citizens Plus stakes out a middle ground with its support for constitutional and institutional arrangements which will simultaneously recognize Aboriginal difference and reinforce a solidarity which binds us together in common citizenship.
