The Status

Interesting parallels and comparisons can be drawn between the struggle for land rights by Australian Aborigines and by Indians and Inuit in Canada. Recent Australian federal legislation has recognized some aboriginal rights to lands they have occupied for over 40,000 years. The author discusses the events leading up to that legislation, analyzes its major provisions and assesses its applications to date.

The Subject

This paper examines the perspectives of Metis people in the southern BC interior about how to deal with the rejection by the courts of all three Metis rights claims in the province.  The perspectives of those directly involved in the three cases, along with community members in the subject areas (Thompson/Shuswap, south Okanagan, Kootenays) reveal that people generally prefer negotiation to litigation in the BC context, as lack of understanding of Metis history, territories and communities in BC creates difficulties for BC Metis litigants.  Negotiation was viewed favourably by participants, but continuing to practise rights was seen as more important than gaining state recognition of rights.

Historical Cartography

Dans sa décision de principe sur les droits de chasse des Métis rendue à la suite de l’affaire R. c. Powley, la Cour suprême du Canada recourt au concept de mainmise effective pour marquer les limites de la période à considérer afin de déterminer si des pratiques particulières (p. ex., la chasse) font partie intégrante du mode de vie des Métis. Si ces pratiques n’ont pas été explicitement abolies par l’État avant 1982, alors elles font partie aujourd’hui des droits ancestraux des Métis et à ce titre, elles sont protégées par la Constitution. Déterminer la date de la mainmise effective de l’État est un problème empirique qui exige des recherches historiques approfondies. Devant les revendications de la Couronne quant à sa souveraineté et à l’extinction de droits autochtones, diverses activités peuvent servir de critères quant à l’établissement de la mainmise effective sur les régions pionnières (p. ex., les recensements). Des documents historiques montrent que des activités de topométrie et de cartographie ont matérialisé les efforts du gouvernement fédéral pour acquérir des connaissances géographiques. En ce qui concerne la nécessité constante de clarifier les droits ancestraux des Métis, la valeur des sources cartographiques historiques comme moyen de reconstruire la lente évolution des connaissances géographiques de l’État est illustrée par l’exemple de la région d’Ile-à-la-Crosse. La cartographie historique, par conséquent, peut contribuer à clarifier les droits des Métis.
