Abstract: |
In Canada, few individuals appear to have engaged with the depth of the problem that the Indian Act represents–its overarching nature as a discourse of classification, regulation, and control that has indelibly ordered how Native people think of things “Indian,” To treat the Indian Act merely as a set of policies to be repealed, or even as a genocidal scheme in which we can simply choose not to believe, belies how a classificatory system produces ways of thinking–a grammar–that embeds itself in every attempt to change it. |
