In western Canada, home of several so-called \u201cnumbered treaties\u201d, scholars often go further to more specifically acknowledge the treaty territory upon which they present: \u201cI\u2019d like to acknowledge our presence on Treaty 4 territory\u2026\u201d or even the historical names of the peoples on those territories. Scholars have also begun to acknowledge their presence on treaty territories in their book manuscripts and articles. Others \u2013 among them graduate students \u2013 have added treaty acknowledgments to the signature lines of their emails, some taking the time to find the proper Indigenous terms for the territory. In certain cases, universities have even begun to acknowledge this presence during their convocation ceremonies&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;However, while many of us are aware of the historical treaty process, far fewer are aware of the options M\u00e9tis were given to \u201csurrender\u201d their Aboriginal title. Certainly, it is possible to envision the Manitoba Act as a form of treaty, since it involved its own forms of negotiation between M\u00e9tis representatives and Ottawa. Likewise, various historians have noted instances in which M\u00e9tis individuals and families signed into treaty with their \u201cFirst Nations\u201d relatives&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Read the entire article <a href=\"http:\/\/bigmmusings.wordpress.com\/2013\/10\/03\/marginalizing-metis-histories-through-treaty-territory-acknowledgment\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marginalizing M\u00e9tis histories through Treaty Territory Acknowledgment Big M Musings 2013-10-03 Chris Andersen, Research and Associate Professor of Native Studies University of Alberta In the last decade or so, it has become a fairly accepted practice in Indigenous Studies circles for scholars presenting on Indigenous issues to begin their talks with some form of acknowledgment [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,19,459,1467,8,3015],"tags":[16021,5277,16020],"class_list":["post-34105","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-canada","category-history","category-law","category-media-archive","category-native-americans","tag-big-m-musings","tag-chris-andersen","tag-christian-trevor-andersen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34105","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34105\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
