Settler Stalling: Integrated Schooling and the "Native Conferences" of the Royal Commission on Family and Children's Law in British Columbia
In this article, we examine Indigenous responses to educational integration in British Columbia through the 1974 “Native Conferences” held by the Royal Commission on Family and Children’s Law. In the 1950s, Canadian policy on Indigenous education shifted from segregation to integration and by the late 1960s organizations such as Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs and the Native Indian Brotherhood rejected both approaches, demanding Indigenou…
The Rising (Street) Generation: The Vancouver Runaway Revolution and 1970s’ Child Saving

The Voluntary Delinquent: Parents, Daughters, and the Montreal Juvenile Delinquents' Court in 1918
In 1912 the newly created Montreal Juvenile Delinquents’ Court began processing hundreds of adolescent girls for minor infractions such as incorrigibility and desertion. Its reform-minded judge, François-Xavier Choquet, made liberal use of probation introduced by the federal Juvenile Delinquents Act (1908) resulting in the scrutinizing of the home, work, and social lives of the girls brought to the court. This is not simply a story of the state i…
