An Exploration of Connections with the Land in an Urban Sport Context among Indigenous Youth
DownloadFall 2019
The purpose of this participatory research was to explore connections with the land in an urban sport context among Indigenous youth. Two research questions guided this study: (a) What does a connection with the land look like in an urban sport context?, and (b) How can connections with the land be
as a “way of being”; (c) facilitating culture camps and land-based learning; and (d) improving access to resources and information. Findings from this research suggest that sport can play a central role in facilitating connections to the land among Indigenous youth in urban centres. The experiences
shared in this research are understood through urban spaces of decolonization, which may have important implications in Indigenous health and identity. Overall, practical suggestions to facilitate connections to the land within sport contexts were identified, and should be considered by sport and land

‘Reconciliation is Dead’: Unist’ot’en Camp, Land Back and How the Movements can Inform Settler Responsibilities and Indigenous-Settler Relationships Going Forward
Download2020-11-01
empty reconciliatory politics and gestures that have led many Indigenous peoples and settler accomplices to proclaim that reconciliation is ‘dead’. This paper will unpack colonial state forms of reconciliation, as well as discuss Land Back and how actions towards Indigenous sovereignty must include a
returning of land and Indigenous self-determining authority over land. Some of my questions include: how can the Reconciliation is Dead movement inform us on current Indigenous-settler relations? How can the movement encourage people to think critically about ‘reconciliation’ and the government’s lack of
material changes? I also discuss the Unist’ot’en Camp as a site of Indigenous resistance and resurgence, and how differently situated settlers need to engage in ongoing self-reflection on their positionalities, as well as their responsibilities to and with the Indigenous peoples and nations on whose lands

In religious geography, anthropology, and other fields, Mircea Eliade’s sacred-profane dichotomy continues to be influential in the study of sacred space and sacred architecture. However, the limitations of this dichotomy become apparent when it is applied to North American Indigenous religious
traditions. This thesis therefore compares and contrasts Eliade’s definitions and theories of sacredness, and specifically his notions of sacred geography, with those of various North American Indigenous traditions. The objective is an expanded definition of sacred space based on the relational or ecological

SSHRC CG awarded 2023: Mine legacies are scattered across Canadian and Australian landscapes in the form of million-to-billion dollar public liabilities, land contamination and degradation, social disruption, and alienation of Indigenous people from their traditional lands. In the northern
as a technical, scientific practice and marginalizes the social and political dimensions. Our team will assert how restoration is inextricably intertwined with issues of social and environmental justice through a two-hour symposium consisting of six presentations from representatives of Indigenous
Nations, restoration practitioners and graduate students on Indigenous-led, anti-colonial mine reclamation. The symposium will showcase various strategies that northern Canadian and Australian Indigenous Nations are using to confront the colonial structures of mineral development and create opportunities

COVID-19 Pandemic Responses and Programs in Canada’s Northern and Indigenous Communities: Understanding Implementation and Implications
DownloadFall 2021
The quick onset of COVID-19 left countries and communities worldwide in need of emergency management procedures. Analysis from previous pandemics, such as H1N1, showed that blanket approaches to health policy and public health messaging were not effective for Indigenous groups in Canada; rather
. The need to compare responses in Northern and Indigenous zones was deemed a priority as health systems in these areas have unique features to which they must adapt, including remote geographies and Indigenous values. Therefore, the purpose of this work was to describe and summarize the changes to
health policy and programming in Canada’s northern and Indigenous regions that were implemented in response to the pandemic, as well as the impact living with restrictions had on community members. A sequential mixed methods research (MMR) project was consequently developed. This method was chosen as

Social Impact Assessment Methods for Predicting Cumulative Effects involving Extractive Industries and Indigenous People
Download2020-01-01
da Silva, Gardenio Diogo Pimentel, Parkins, John R., Solange Nadeau
Many resource projects are located in regions inhabited by Indigenous people, whose livelihoods, culture, and spirituality are deeply affected by these projects. Researchers and consultants have developed numerous qualitative and quantitative Social Impact Assessment (SIA) methods to predict or
verify cumulative social outcomes of those projects as they relate to the interests and concerns of Indigenous people. Yet there remains a lack of consensus on the best practices for SIA in this context. Given how wide-ranging these methods are, a review of the literature to identify, synthesize, and
summarize SIA methods in this context is urgently needed. The variety of approaches identified in the literature reflects the worldviews of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who design and implement these methods, as well as the growing urgency to reconcile resource development with Indigenous people and

“Skiing Racialized Geographies” examines how Black and Indigenous peoples are excluded in snow sports and how this lack of diversity can be addressed. Snow sports is a CAD $56.4 billion dollar industry, and the snow sports industry acknowledges that the lack of diversity contributes to industry
stagnation. This is in spite of decades long efforts from both Black and Indigenous organizations working to foster participation. The snow sports industry has subsequently employed both the leisure theory marginality and ethnicity theses to explain the lack of racialized participation. The marginality
, and tourism, to explain lack of diversified participation in specific activities. Guided by Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Critical Indigenous Theory (CIT), this thesis first explores how colour-evasive and power-evasive logics, which ignore the underlying history and social construction of space

THE APPLICATION OF ALGAE FOR THE REMOVAL OF METALS AND NAPHTHENIC ACIDS FROM OIL SANDS TAILINGS POND WATER
DownloadFall 2014
Bitumen recovery produces a large volume of TPW, which must be reclaimed using an efficient and cost-effective method. In this thesis, the ability of algae for in situ treatment of TPW, with a focus on metal and total acid-extractable organics (TAOs) removal, was assessed. An indigenous alga
, found in cyclone overflow water, was capable of removing metals 53Cr, Mn, Co, 60Ni, 65Cu, 66Zn, As, 88Sr, 95Mo and Ba. Through the amplification of the 23S rRNA gene, the indigenous alga was identified as Parachlorella kessleri. Highest metal removal was achieved with the highest nutrient supplements
mechanism of metal removal, with extracellular bioaccumulation and precipitation playing a smaller role. For the biodegradation of TAOs, a consortium of indigenous algae-bacteria was employed. Bacteria demonstrated the greatest removal of TAOs with a half-life removal rate of 203 days (first-order kinetics
