By examining the root causes of aboriginal problems, Frances Widdowson and Albert Howard expose the industry that has grown up around land claim settlements, showing that aboriginal policy development over the past thirty years has been manipulated by non-aboriginal lawyers and consultants. They analyse all the major aboriginal policies, examine issues that have received little critical attention - child care, health care, education, traditional knowledge - and propose the comprehensive government provision of health, education, and housing rather than deficient delivery through Native self-government.

Separate but Unequal provides an in-depth critique of the ideology of parallelism--the prevailing view that Indigenous cultures and the wider Canadian society should exist separately from one another in a "nation-to-nation" relationship.Using the Final Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples as an example, this historical and material analysis shows how the single-minded pursuit of parallelism will not result in a more balanced relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. On the contrary, it merely restores archaic economic, political, and ideological forms that will continue to isolate the Indigenous population.This book provides an alternative framework for examining Indigenous dependency. This new perspective--the political economy of neotribal rentierism--shows that Indigenous Peoples' circumstances have been inextricably linked to the development of capitalism in Canada. While Indigenous Peoples were integral participants in the fur trade, the transition from mercantilism to industrial capitalism led to their marginalization.This book is published in English.-Separate but Unequal fournit une analyse approfondie de l'id ologie du parall lisme - la vision dominante selon laquelle les cultures autochtones et la soci t canadienne en g n ral devraient vivre s par ment les unes des autres dans une relation de nation nation. En s'appuyant sur le rapport final de la Commission royale sur les peuples autochtones, cette analyse historique et mat rielle montre que les propositions parall listes visant accro tre l'autonomie des Autochtones dans tous les aspects des politiques publiques ne se solderont pas en une relation plus quilibr e entre peuples autochtones et non autochtones, tant donn qu'elles ne font que r tablir des formes conomiques, politiques et id ologiques archa ques qui continueront d'isoler la population autochtone. Elle propose de recadrer la question de la d pendance autochtone en ayant recours la notion de renti risme n otribal. Ce cadre d' conomie politique met en lumi re le fait que les conditions des peuples autochtones ont t inextricablement li es au d veloppement du capitalisme au Canada. Ce livre est publi en anglais.

Separate but Unequal: How Parallelist Ideology Conceals Indigenous Dependency (Politics and Public Policy)

University of Ottawa Press

Since the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s ﬁndings, administrators, faculty members and students have heard that universities should be “Indigenized.” Concerns about the poor educational levels of many Indigenous people have resulted in the claim that “Indigenizing the university” will help to address this problem. Up until now, however, the history of colonialism has made it diﬃcult to discuss the initiative’s implications honestly. This edited volume strives to openly examine the multiple aspects of university Indigenization. By bringing in diverse perspectives from a variety of disciplines about a number of diﬀerent facets of Indigenization, it is hoped that we can better understand how current eﬀorts will impact Indigenous peoples and universities as a whole. As truth-telling is an essential part of reconciliation, this volume helps us all in our attempts to improve post-secondary education for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people.
