Download or read book Men Masculinity and the Indian Act written by Martin J. Cannon and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-15 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada’s Indian Act is infamously sexist. Many iterations of the legislation conferred a woman’s status rights through marriage, and even once it was amended First Nations women could not necessarily pass their status on to their descendants. What has that injustice meant for First Nations men? Martin J. Cannon challenges a decades-long assumption that the act has affected Indigenous people as either “women” or “Indians” – but not both. He argues that sexism and racialization within the law must instead be understood as interlocking forms of discrimination that disrupt gender complementarity and undercut the identities of Indigenous men through their female forebears.

Download or read book Feminisms and Womanisms written by Althea Prince and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together theory and praxis, so that feminist discourse interacts as a partner with the lived experience of women's social action. The selections combine classics in feminist thought with work from modern theorists and offer a solid foundation in international feminism. The conceptual understanding embedded in the terms 'feminism' and 'womanism' contributes to feminist discourse, a carefully differentiated focus on the ideological uses of language to define relationships that have been historically mired in domination. The terms also define the way gender often has been used to signify and support domination. Given that feminism and womanism are interpretative concepts, there is always a sense that knowledge-making is in progress; for there is nothing static or stagnant about feminism, feminist theory, and feminist action. The formative nature of the feminist movement has, of necessity, a parallel interpretative theory. This Reader embraces both the formative nature of the movement and the accompanying interpretative theories.It also pays attention to the chronological, cultural, geo-political, racial, and ethnic landscapes and sites where women live, carry out social action, and theorise issues of equality. For both the general and the academic reader, this book will be edifying while providing exposure to the feminist and womanist voices that inform the scholarship.

Download or read book Talking Back to the Indian Act written by Mary-Ellen Kelm and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking Back to the Indian Act is a comprehensive "how-to" guide for engaging with primary source documents. The intent of the book is to encourage readers to develop the skills necessary to converse with primary sources in more refined and profound ways. As a piece of legislation that is central to Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples and communities, and one that has undergone many amendments, the Indian Act is uniquely positioned to act as a vehicle for this kind of focused reading. Through an analysis of thirty-five sources pertaining to the Indian Act--addressing governance, gender, enfranchisement, and land--the authors provide readers with a much better understanding of this pivotal piece of legislation, as well as insight into the dynamics involved in its creation and maintenance.
Download or read book First Nations Women Governance and the Indian Act written by Judith F. Sayers and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first paper in this compilation is a review of the literature on First Nations women and self-government. It covers the following subject areas: traditional roles of First Nations women, the impact of colonization on those women, male leadership, contemporary First Nations women & sexual equality, and contemporary First Nations women & self-government. It also provides some legislative options, draft policies, recommendations, and general discussion of good governance from a First Nations women's perspective. The second paper addresses two questions: can & should the Indian Act be amended to provide for more equitable governing powers between First Nations women & men, and if amendments are desired, how can new regulations & policy improve the political participation of First Nations women. The questions are approached by investigating the responses of Lake Babine First Nation women to such questions and comparing this information with published analyses of women and First Nations governance. The final paper examines the history & rationale for the section 67 exemption of Indian Act matters from the Canadian Human Rights Act in the context of First Nations women's equality interests in governance. It reviews barriers to full realization of First Nations women's equality rights, particularly issues relating to Indian status & the band membership entitlement system, and decision-making by Indian Act band councils that reflects the arbitrary legal distinctions made in the Act.
Download or read book Critically Sovereign written by Joanne Barker and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critically Sovereign traces the ways in which gender is inextricably a part of Indigenous politics and U.S. and Canadian imperialism and colonialism. The contributors show how gender, sexuality, and feminism work as co-productive forces of Native American and Indigenous sovereignty, self-determination, and epistemology. Several essays use a range of literary and legal texts to analyze the production of colonial space, the biopolitics of “Indianness,” and the collisions and collusions between queer theory and colonialism within Indigenous studies. Others address the U.S. government’s criminalization of traditional forms of Diné marriage and sexuality, the Iñupiat people's changing conceptions of masculinity as they embrace the processes of globalization, Hawai‘i’s same-sex marriage bill, and stories of Indigenous women falling in love with non-human beings such as animals, plants, and stars. Following the politics of gender, sexuality, and feminism across these diverse historical and cultural contexts, the contributors question and reframe the thinking about Indigenous knowledge, nationhood, citizenship, history, identity, belonging, and the possibilities for a decolonial future. Contributors. Jodi A. Byrd, Joanne Barker, Jennifer Nez Denetdale, Mishuana Goeman, J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Melissa K. Nelson, Jessica Bissett Perea, Mark Rifkin
