#1 Land
I am interested in the dynamics between government policy and First Nations environmental heritage sites. This is in regard to the proximity and accuracy of the heritage sites according to the community, and whether the policy has been taken advantage over these sites by using their power.
- How has the record been between government policy and environmental heritage sites of the First nations community, and how the controversial in this issue stream from; inaccurate record or abused used of position?
#2 Female
I am interested in the tradition, teaching, or folklore within First Nations community in relation to the perspectives and expectations of their female members, especially the difference in position and/or duty of the single and the married ones.
- What are the perspective and expectation from the First Nations practices toward their female member and how will they change in relation to different marital statuses?
#3 First Nations and Salmon
I am interested in the relation between First Nations and their practices revolving around salmon as it seems to be an important element in relaying and sustaining the traditional of the community. This includes further investigation into the past and current situations of the community and their salmon fishing which supposedly has been disturbed by both the political policy, and the environmental change: climate change.
- How has practice regarding salmon been an important part for First Nations community and How has this relation been affected by the external influences?
Good start here, Wasinee. I think #2 might be better expressed as Indigenous Feminism (a topic we will explore more in this class). #3 and #1 will need a more focused approach, but you are on the right track. Happy to talk these through with you in more detail during office hours.
