Mapping Approaches to Decolonizing and Indigenizing the Curriculum at Canadian Universities: Critical Reflections on Current Practices, Challenges, and Possibilities
This article identifies five predominant approaches to Indigenizing the curriculum occurring within Canadian universities today. Examining these approaches in relation to theories of change articulated by Gaudry and Lorenz (2018) and Stein (2020), the article considers the possibilities and limits of each approach as well as the degree to which they challenge the colonial and Eurocentric edifices of Canadian universities. While many of the curren…
The Slow Violence of Settler Colonialism: Genocide, Attrition, and the Long Emergency of Invasion
In recent decades, scholarship has sought to redress genocide studies’ lack of attention to assaults against Indigenous group life in settler colonial contexts. While this scholarship has made important interventions into a field dominated by the Holocaust prototype, work on genocides targeting Indigenous peoples has still laboured under the shadow of this paradigm’s norms, including the prioritization of time-intense direct violence enacted with…

In this volume, leading scholars in the humanities and social sciences relate contemporary political and social efforts to redress wrongs to the fraught history of government relations with Aboriginal and diasporic populations.
"Reconciling "Terror: Managing Indigenous Resistance in the Age of Apology
Reconciling "Terror"Managing Indigenous Resistance in the Age of Apology Pauline Wakeham (bio) If recent years have witnessed the rise of a worldwide phenomenon of reconciliation and apology, so also in the past few decades, and with increasing force since September 11, 2001, the global forum has seen the increased mediatization of spectacles of terror. The present moment is thus characterized by two seemingly contradictory rubrics: the "age of a…
Taxidermic Signs: Reconstructing Aboriginality
In Taxidermic Signs, Pauline Wakeham decodes the practice of taxidermy as it was performed in North America from the late nineteenth century to the present, revealing its connection to ecological and racial discourses integral to the maintenance of colonial power. Moving beyond the literal practice of stuffing skins, Wakeham theorizes taxidermy as a sign system that conflates "animality" and "aboriginality" within colonial narratives of extinctio…
Becoming Documentary: Edward Curtis’s In the Land of the Headhunters and the Politics of Archival Reconstruction
In 1914, Edward Curtis produced In the Land of the Headhunters, a sensationalistic film that, in the mode of salvage ethnography, sought to erase the traces of colonial contact and reconstruct so-called Native authenticity in the image of white fantasies of primitive alterity. Comparing archival footage of Curtis’s original 1914 text with the 1973 reconstruction of this film—the only version currently in widespread circulation—this article argues…
