Journalism. 11 Places to Search for Native American Ancestors: Page 2 of 4. 1900 and 1910 Federal Population Schedules The censuses are valuable because two population schedules were prepared—one for Native Americans and one for all other residents.
Indians were asked: (1) To what tribe they belonged; and (2) If their mother or father was Indian—if so, to which tribe did their parent(s) belong. In 1900, in states where there were Indian reservations, more questions were asked. I am not the problem. The Rehabilitation of Tom Flanagan. Persona Non Grata: The Death of Free Speech in the Internet Age by: Tom Flanagan 256pp.: Signal, 2014 Reviewed by: Paul Bunner Levi Little Moustache and Arnell Tailfeathers are, respectively, the interrogator and smart-phone videographer who ambushed University of Calgary political science professor Tom Flanagan last year and proclaimed him “okay with child pornography.”
The ambush was sprung during a two-and-a-half hour discussion about the Indian Act at the University of Lethbridge, using a rambling, insult-laden question that had nothing to do with the subject at hand. Ironically, a case can be made that Little Moustache and Tailfeathers should themselves be charged with making and distributing child pornography. After all, under Section 163 of Canada’s Criminal Code, child porn is defined as, among other things, any visual presentation or audio recording that advocates or counsels sex with children.

Top 10 list: How not to respond to Indigenous experiences of racism in Canada. What is decolonization and why does it matter? Eric Ritskes is a Managing Editor at Decolonization: Indigeneity, Education & Society, a newly established Open Access journal committed to the vital work of decolonization.
The much-anticipated first issue of Decolonization Journal is now available at Decolonization.org Decolonization is a goal but it is not an endpoint. I like this open-ended beginning because it speaks to two things: that the struggle for decolonization is a journey that is never finished and that, on this journey, uncertainty is not to be feared; Mariolga Reyes Cruz (in our first issue) describes it as: “moving towards a different and tangible place, somewhere out there, where no one has really ever been.”

Photo: Barriere Lake Solidarity The numbered treaties, signed between 1871 and 1921. Andrew Vaughan/Canadian Press. Ministers and chiefs must focus on practical reforms. Andrew Coyne, Postmedia News Published: Saturday, January 12 2013 It's not yet clear precisely what the Prime Minister and Assembly of First Nations chiefs accomplished at their meeting Friday, but the fact that they met at all, after the tumult and confusion of the preceding 24 hours, must be counted as achievement enough.
Rarely has the penchant of native leaders for what a former prime minister's chief of staff, Derek Burney, has called "theology" been on such open display. The whole future of the country seemed to hang on whether ministers and chiefs met in a hotel or in a government building, or whether the Prime Minister and the Governor General attended at the same time or in sequence. Russell Means: Welcome To The Reservation. The Attawapiskat audit: Distracting us from a legacy of failure – elizabethmaymp.ca – January 11, 2013. The tensions surrounding First Nations and the federal government are, perhaps, at an all-time high.
I had hoped the Prime Minister’s decision to meet with First Nations leadership this Friday was a hopeful sign of a new beginning in building nation to nation respectful relationships. Perhaps it could finally be the beginning of implementing the 1996 Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Unfortunately, there is an ugly tone in the air as Conservative spokespeople, such as Senator Patrick Brazeau, line up in the media to take pot shots at Chief Theresa Spence. Although the Attawapiskat audit covers 2005-2011, Theresa Spence was only elected chief in 2010.
