Description
History Thesis (M.A.)--University of Ottawa, 1993.
Looks at negative reactions for Indigenous students in a University Anthropology class and what can be learned to improve Indigenous education.
Consists of an interview with Joe Sylvester where he gives an account of Indian medicine; legends concerning migration of Algonquin Indians; the role of elders; of the deterioration of reservation conditions following World War II; the religious significance of the number "four"; views on welfare and its role in disrupting traditional Indian values; and a legend about the origin of the drum.
Focuses on several facets of Emily Carr's book Klee Wyck: the feminist tone; the effect of modernism on native life; examination of the sketches; the message of disintegration, loss and of hope.
