As an introduction to this class, please take some time to watch this important one hour film, The Doctrine of Discovery: Stolen Lands, Strong Hearts. The film sets out to explain the policies, procedures and laws applied byWestern European nation states and religious institutions to overtakeIndigenous Peoples toclaim sovereigntyover, and title to, Indigenous lands and resources.

As you watch this film, write down any idea, concept or term that stands out for you.

Also consider these three questions:

  1. What is the Doctrine of Discovery?
  2. Why are Indigenous peoples here in Canada and on other continents seeking repudiation of the Doctrine of Discovery?
  3. What institutions, systems, and processes are tied to the Doctrine of Discovery?

Video Description:“This film is one of the responses of the Anglican Churchs Primates Commission on discovery reconciliation and justice. The purpose of this film is to respond to the calls to action by helping to provide education and insight into the racist foundations of many of our property and other laws still in existence to this day.”

Some Terms from Doctrine of Discovery

Colonialism: the policy of a country seeking to extend or retain its authority over other people or territories, generally with the aim of economic dominance. In the process,colonisersmay impose their religion, economics, and other cultural practices on the Indigenous peoples. The foreign invaders rule the territory in pursuit of their interests, seeking to benefit from thecolonisedregion’s people and resources.

The Crown:The Crown is the state in all its aspects within the jurisprudence of the Commonwealth realms and their sub-divisions (such as Crown dependencies, provinces, or states). Legally ill-defined, the term has different meanings depending on context. It is used to designate the monarch in either a personal capacity, as Head of the Commonwealth, or as the king or queen of his or her realms. It can also refer to the rule of law; however, in common parlance ‘The Crown’ refers to the functions of government and the civil service.

Mercantile system-relating to merchants or trade, commerce

Out of the Ether-like pulling it out of the air

Papal Bull:A papal bull is a type of public decree, letters patent, or charter issued by a pope of the Catholic Church

Sovereignty:Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside sources or bodies. In political theory, sovereignty is a term designating supreme authority. In international law, the important concept of sovereignty refers to the exercise of power by a state.

Terra Nullius– Empty land; land not legally belonging to anyone.

Title:In property law, a title is a bundle of rights in a piece of property in which a party may own either a legal interest or equitable interest. The rights in the bundle may be separated and held by different parties. It may also refer to a formal document, such as a deed, that serves as evidence of ownership. Conveyance of the document may be required in order to transfer ownership in the property to another person.

The Doctrine of Discoveryis a principle of international law dating from the late 15th century. It has its roots in a papal decree issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 that specifically sanctioned and promoted the conquest, colonization, and exploitation of non-Christian territories and peoples.

A Brief Introduction to Terminology

When looking at any subject, we need to take some time to learn the terminology. In Indigenous Studies, this is particularly difficult because of the changing political discourse asIndigenous Peoples claim their rightful place in the broader Canadian society. Important to realizing this is understanding complex ideologyaroundsovereignty, self-determination and self government.

You will see in the module that various resources define differentterms in subtly different ways. The terms below are a brief introduction to some naming conventions.

“Aboriginal”:The term aboriginal is preferable to Indian or Native.

“Inuit & Mtis Identity”:Indian, status, and the Indian Acts role in defining identity

“First Nations”First Nations as a term isIncreasingly used specifically for First Nations – reserve communities and the people living in them or closely associated with them. It is a contemporary replacement for Indian; however, Inuit and Metis do not use this term to identify themselves.

“Indigenous”:General terms such as Aboriginal, Indigenous, or Indianarise out of European or international legal frameworks, and group them in with other groups who they may not consider related.

 

“Mtis”:This term has been used to describe any person of mixed European and Indian ancestry.But this broader usage of the term is not supported by current Canadian case law. Why?
Mtis people trace their lineage to particular historic Mtis communities, namely in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

t is estimated there are 370 million Indigenous peoples worldwide, living in 70 different countries, according to the United Nations (U.N.).

Understanding the term Indigenous

Considering the diversity of indigenous peoples, an official definition of indigenous has not been adopted by any UN-system body. Instead the system has developed a modern understanding of this term based on the following:

  • Self- identification as indigenous peoples at the individual level and accepted by the community as their member.
  • continuity with pre-colonial and/or pre-settler societies.
  • Strong link to territories and surrounding natural resources.
  • Distinct social, economic or political systems.
  • Distinct language, culture and beliefs.
  • of society.
  • Resolve to maintain and reproduce their ancestral environments and systems as distinctive peoples and communities.

A Question of Identity

According to the UN the most fruitful approach is to identify, rather than define indigenous peoples.This is based on the fundamental criterion of self-identification as underlined in a number of human rights documents.

Indigenous isa relational term, and also the result of the political organization of Indigenous groups on the international level who have sought ways to define their common purpose and advance a common cause.

Indigenous populations have become socio-economically disadvantaged and vulnerable to discriminatory state policy and even to outright armed repression.

 

Indigenous- The Term

As we have seen on the previous page, under international law there is no official definition of the word “Indigenous”. The United Nations characterizes Indigenous groups as autonomous and self-sustaining societies. Historically dominant settler populations have subjected Indigenous peoples to discrimination, marginalization and assimilation of their cultures.

A History of the Term “Indigenous”

In the 1970s,Aboriginal leadersadopted the term“Indigenous” followingthe rise of Indigenous rights movements around the world.The use of the term was a way to identify and unifytheir communities.It was preferred over other terms that reflected histories and power dynamics by the colonizers. The Indigenous experience is diverse; therefore, having a universal definition is difficult.

The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Discrimination against Indigenous Populations, Jos Martnez Cobo, in the 1980s , developed a working definition for use with the Working Group of Indigenous Populations:

“Indigenous communities, peoples and nations are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing in those territories, or parts of them. They form at of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal systems.”Source:)

Still the Term “Indigenous” is Problematic

Indigenous populations ties to land and place must be emphasized within any definition.

Paul Coe, a Wiradjuri lawyer from Australia, oppose(s) defining Indigeneity in relation to an oppressor, as it pathologizes the term and defines the existence of Indigenous people by their oppression, thus legitimizing and normalizing it.

Under such a definition, one cannot be Indigenous without being colonized.

Maori scholar Linda Tuhiwai Smith questions the wisdom of using a single term at all:The term Indigenous is problematic in that it appears to collectivize many distinct populations whose experiences under imperialism have been vastly different.

 

 

Aboriginal vs Western Views on Rights

There is a fundamental difference between how these two groups see Rights.

Aboriginal legal traditions and treatiesrecognizeindividualandgrouprights; whilehistorically, Western society has emphasizedindividualrights andfreedoms, seeking, basically, to protect the individual from abuses by the state or other powers.

Aboriginal Legal Traditions and Treaties

  • Individuality depends on collective heritage and identity.Jamess Sakej Youngblood Henderson
  • Indigenous rights include bothgrouprights, orcollectiverights, andindividualrights.

predominantly protects individual rights; however,

  • Section 25 guarantees the protection of Aboriginal rights
  • Sections 16 and 23 protect some group language and cultural rights
  • Section 35 of the Constitution further recognizes and affirms Aboriginal rights

In most Indigenous societies both collective and individual rights are recognized.Group rights protect the foundations of a society and are especially critical when a society is threatened.

Such rights include:

  • the right to practice culture and customs,
  • the right to self-determination,
  • the right to subsistence economies,
  • the right to governance,
  • the right to land

The majority of the worlds Indigenous populations seek state recognition of these collective rights in order to protect and strengthen their societies.

What is a worldview?

Every people has a way of knowing, seeing, explaining and living in the world. Each group may have very distinct ideas about what is important. A worldview can be examined by looking at cultural, spiritual and philosophical themes.

To get an overview of the differences between the Indigenous world views and the Western world views, take a few minutes to review the short video below.

While you are watching, take note of the key differences.

Video Description:”How we see the world determines how we act. Western thought sees us at war with each other over resources. Indigenous philosophy, we are all related as individuals in balance with nature. Watch ENOUGHNESS: Resorting Balance to the Economy and learn more at.”

The Rise of International Indigenous Rights Movements

International human rights instruments, which have been designed principally by Western-liberal societies, have overlooked collective rights in favour of individual rights.

The rise of the international Indigenous rights movement (post 1950s), has meant that policymakers must seek to balance individual rights with collective rights through new international instruments.

Groups include:

  • United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Peoples (), established 1982 by Indigenous organizations and U.N. member states to enforce standards regarding Indigenous rights globally.
  • United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (), 2000
  • United Nations Human Rights Council ()
  • United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (), 2007
  • Transnationalby Indigenous peoples

 

Constitution Act, 1982 Section 35

It is important to understand that Section 35 of the Canadian Constitution Actrecognizes Aboriginal rights, but did not create themAboriginalrights have existed before Section 35.

Section 35 of the Constitution Act states:

  1. (1) The existing aboriginal and treaty rights of the aboriginal peoples of Canada are hereby recognized and affirmed.(2) In this Act, aboriginal peoples of Canada includes the Indian, Inuit and Mtis peoples of Canada.

    (3) For greater certainty, in subsection (1) treaty rights includes rights that now exist by way of land claims agreements or may be so acquired.

    (4) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the aboriginal and treaty rights referred to in subsection (1) are guaranteed equally to male and female persons.

 

What Rights?

While Section 35 recognizes existing Aboriginal rights, it does not define them.

Defining exactly what Aboriginal rights include has been much debated and defined over time through Supreme Court cases.Typically, they have been interpreted to include cultural, social, political, and economic rights including the right to land, right to fish, to hunt, and to practice their own culture, as well as to establish treaties.

Section 35 acknowledges that Aboriginal rights are existing. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that any rights previously lost by treaty or other legal processes prior to 1982 no longer existed and, therefore are not protected under the Constitution. The sectiondoes not revive extinguished rights. The phrase existing aboriginal rights needs to be flexible to allow evolutionover time.

Because Section 35 is outside of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the federal government cannot override Aboriginal rights.

Debates

There appears to be a disparity between the concept of Aboriginal rights being upheld by Section 35, and the daily lives of Aboriginal peoples, where many have been arrested for exercising what they understand as their Aboriginal rights, such as hunting or fishing:

“Although s.35 guides court and government decisions that directly impact Indigenous Peoples, there remain a considerable number of Indigenous people who either are not directly aware of s.35 or believe it is meaningless in their lives.There are far more Indigenous people who personally know brothers, sisters, aunts, dads, and uncles who have been stopped, questioned, charged, and convicted for exercising their Aboriginal Rights, than who know of the existence or content of s.35.Section 35to many Indigenous Peoples has remained a powerful yet invisible force.”Ardith Walkem and Halie Bruce ()

 

The conceptWalking in Beautywas first presented byTim Thompson (Mohawk,Hotinonshn:ni)at a meeting in 1998 on ways to improve Aboriginal Studies secondary school curriculum in Ontario. Thompson has saidthat it’s time for curricula and our classrooms to prepare for our beautiful walk together.

According to:

“Walking in Beauty may be understood as a universal concept of Indigenous knowledge. Its meaning instructs each of us is to conduct ourselves in right relations with all of creation, including our relations of the natural world. When we are Walking in Beauty, we conduct ourselves respectfully towards Peoples from all the Four Directions on Mother Earth.”

Walking in Beauty means learning how to get along with each other in a kind, sharing, honest and respectful way.This means listening, learning and knowing about each other about one anothers cultures, histories, contemporary concerns and worldviews.

It means coming together in the Indigenous way, within a circle where there is no start, no top, no end, and no bottom where we all have our rights and responsibilities, and where we all value and respect difference. () >

Bill C-31, 1985:

A Bill that changed the Indian registration system adopted and maintained by the federal government so that entitlement was no longer based on sexually discriminatory rules. However, the amendments resulted in a complicated array of categories of Indians and restrictions on statusiv which was further challenged. See Bill C-3, 2010.

Bill C-3, 2010

This bill amends provisions of the Indian Act that the Court of Appeal for British Columbia found to be unconstitutional in the case of McIvor vs. Canada.

Although First Nation is widely used, it has no legal definition.

First Peoples

Indian:

A term commonly used to describe the hundreds of distinct nations of Aboriginal Peoples throughout North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.

The federal government and churches developed a system of residential schools in Canada stretching from Nova Scotia to the Arctic from the 1830s onward.xviii These government-funded, church-run schools were set up to eliminate parental involvement in the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of Aboriginal children.xix In 1884 the Indian Act was amended to include compulsory residential school attendance for Status Indians under age 16. By the 1940s it was determined by both the government and most missionary bodies that the schools were ineffective, and Native protests helped to secure a change in policy. In 1969 it was decided to close the residential schools, and the last school, located in Saskatchewan, was closed in 1996.
