Indigenous Empowerment and Community Development through World Heritage
Focusing on three Indigenous World Heritage sites in Canada, this book explores their role in Indigenous empowerment and community development. Through ethnographic studies and narrative interviews, it highlights how First Nation communities assert their rights to cultural heritage and self-determination. The text also critiques universalistic discourses surrounding World Heritage, examining how they can either perpetuate oppression or create pathways for Indigenous voices. This work is valuable for scholars in social and cultural histories, colonial studies, and heritage disciplines.
Indigenous Peoples and Cultures
There are 1.8 million Indigenous people in Canada, accounting for five percent of the total population. They speak more than seventy languages and represent many different cultures. With recent land claims and the discovery of unmarked graves at former residential schools, the situation of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis has gained critical attention. Teaching Indigenous Studies, however, is a difficult endeavor, as educators must be knowledgeable and sensitive about Indigenous histories, cultures, traditions, and political issues.00Incorporating the latest research in anthropology, ethnography, history, literary and film studies, the chapters in this book focus on current matters such as traditional ways of life, land claims, and self-government, trace cultural changes that resulted from contacts with the Europeans, and discuss the process of reconciliation. Referring to Indigenous perspective in the analysis of cultures and the teaching of these issues, the authors have included many Indigenous voices and sources, and explore the institutions that provide Indigenous communities in Canada with national and international visibility.
