Plundering the North
Plundering the North provides fresh insight into Canada’s colonial project, laying bare the processes behind the chronic food insecurity experienced by northern Indigenous communities by charting the social, economic, and political changes that have taken place in northern Ontario since the 1950s
Safe Food, Dangerous Lands? Traditional Foods and Indigenous Peoples in Canada
There is a deep and troubling history on Turtle Island of settler authorities asserting control over traditional foods, market-based and other introduced foods for Indigenous peoples. Efforts to control Indigenous diets and bodies have resulted in direct impacts to the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of Indigenous peoples. Food insecurity is not only a symptom of settler colonialism, but part of its very architecture. The bri…
Introduction
Indigenous Peoples, settler colonialism, and access to health care in rural and northern Ontario
In Canada rural and northern communities, particularly Indigenous communities, face challenges disproportionate to their urban counterparts in accessing health care services. Existing health research on rural communities has tended to emphasize and reinforce the rural/urban dichotomy in access to and delivery of services, leaving the notion of "rural" as an under-interrogated concept. Drawing on a qualitative study of health care providers, commu…
A Case Study in Personal Identification and Social Determinants of Health
Under international law, birth registration is considered a human right because it determines access to important legal protections as well as essential services and social supports across the lifespan. Difficulties related to birth registration and the acquisition of personal identification (PID) are largely regarded as problems specific to low-income countries. For Indigenous people in northern and rural Canada, however, lack of PID, like birth…
Jordan's Principle
Jordan's PrincipleThe Struggle to Access On-Reserve Health Care for High-Needs Indigenous Children in Canada Lori Chambers (bio) and Kristin Burnett (bio) Beginning in the late 1950s, the federal and provincial governments of Canada introduced legislation intended to provide hospital and insured medical services for all Canadians. With the passage of the Medical Care Act in 1966 these services were extended to include all hospital care and medica…
Eating in the City
Indigenous people often occupy different overlapping or co-existing food environments that include market-based foods, land and water based foods, and combinations of the two. Studying these food environments is complicated by the cultural and geographic diversity of Indigenous people and the effects of colonialism, land dispossession, relocation and forced settlement on static reserves, and increasing migration to urban areas. We conducted a sco…
Challenges in assessing food environments in northern and remote communities in Canada
Bloodsucking Colonizers and the Undead Anishinabe
Bloodsucking Colonizers and the Undead Anishinabe: History, Cultural Continuity, and Identity in Drew Hayden Taylor’s The Night Wanderer Kristin Burnett (bio) and Judith Leggatt (bio) IN THE NIGHT WANDERER: A NATIVE GOTHIC NOVEL, Drew Hayden Taylor uses the genre of young adult vampire novel to explore the ways in which different practices and understandings of history shape both national and personal identities. The novel has two intersecting pr…
Settler Colonialism, Indigenous Peoples and Food
This article looks at settler colonialism and the manufacturing of food insecurity in Indigenous communities located in present-day northern Canada after 1945. The federal government undermined the foodways of Indigenous peoples and sought to make them reliant on a southern market based food economy through the criminalization of Indigenous hunting and harvesting practices and the imposition of government programs like Family Allowance, Foodmail,…
Social stratification and adolescent overweight in the United States
The multidimensional relationship between early adult body weight and women's childbearing experiences
Poverty and family structure effects on children's mathematics achievement
As children grow up, they may encounter changing family structures and poverty status. Any attempt to measure the effects of these statuses on children's school achievement runs the risk of spurious effects due to child- and family-heterogeneity. An analytic strategy for avoiding these spurious effects is to use longitudinal data on families, children, and their academic achievement to estimate random coefficient growth-curve models in which a la…
