First Nations Peoples
How Indigenoous People have not been treated
well in Canada.
Overview - introduction
·
First Peoples -Who they are?
Three groups of people constitute Indigenous Peoples in
Canada, also
called First Peoples. Also called Aboriginal.
Native
-old word, outdated vocab Indian
Three groups:
1. First Nations -people in the south of
Canada
2. Inuit Eskimo – people
in the north of Canada
3. Métis – ‘mixed’ people who
are First Nations and European ancestry
First Nations came into common usage in the 1980s to replace the term ‘Indians’
· Talk about origin of the word ‘Indian’ due to
geographical misunderstanding, West Indies
· First Nations- Indigenous people in the South
(below Arctic Circle). Half of all First Nations bands are in Ontario and BC.
· Inuit are the Indigenous people who live in the North.
Used to be called ‘Eskimo’- disparaging term from French Esquimaux, from
Montagnais ayas̆kimew ‘person who laces a snowshoe’. Montagnais, or Innu, are
the Indigenous inhabitants of an area they refer to as Nitassinan, which
comprises most of the northeastern portion of the present-day province of
Quebec and some eastern portions of Labrador.
Discredited etymology ‘raw fish eater’

Metis - French- do
not pronounce the ‘s’ may-tee
-a person of
mixed Indigenous and European ancestry
1600s and 1700s
- Fur trading European men came to hunt animals, like beavers
In particular
one of a group of such people who in the 19th century constituted the so-called
Metis nation in the areas around the Red and Saskatchewan rivers. Metis comes
from the French word ‘métis’, which means ‘mixed’.
·
The three groups: First Nations/ Inuit/ Metis
·
Where did these people come from?
·
First Nations creation myths/ creation stories
Every
culture has a creation myth/story – legend, fiction, story, explains real life,
explains natural phenomena
Greek Myth- e.g.
Echo-magical creature- nymph, Narcissus- narcissist- a person who is
self-absorbed
Every group has a creation story/myth
Bible- Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve
Koran- Quran - simlar story
Different First Nations groups have
different creation stories.

Talk about Raven
- prominent
role in the mythologies of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest
Coast, including the Tsimishians, Haidas, Heiltsuks, Tlingits, Kwakwaka'wakw,
Coast Salish, Koyukons, and Inuit. The raven in these indigenous peoples'
mythology is the Creator of the world, but it is also considered a trickster
god.
-two
different raven characters:
-the creator raven, responsible for bringing the world into being
and who is sometimes considered to be the individual who brought light to the
darkness
-the
childish raven, always selfish, sly, conniving, and hungry
The
Beginning of the Haida Gwaii World
In
the beginning, before the creation of the world, the earth was completely
covered by a vast ocean and the sky was all grey clouds. The cloud kingdom was
ruled by the great Sha-lana. Sha-lana's Chief servant was Raven.
One
day Raven enraged his master and was cast out into the ocean world. He flew
over the ocean for a long period of time until he became weary. Unable to find
a place to rest, Raven became angry. He began to beat his wings upon the water
until the water rose up and touched the clouds around him.
When
the water receded back into the ocean there appeared rocks upon which Raven
rested. These rocks grew and stretched across the ocean. The rocks turned into
sand and after a short period of time trees began to grow on the sand. After
many moons the sand had turned into beautiful islands, which we know today as
the Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands).
Raven
enjoyed his kingdom, yet he became bored and lonely. He decided he needed
someone to help him. So one day he gathered two large piles of clam shells upon
the beach and transformed them into two human females. These two women
complained saying that they should not have both been created as women. So to
make them happy Raven threw limpet shells at one and turned her into a man,
creating the Haida Gwaii people."
