Wendell Bell et ses associés ont démontré que, dans un contexte de colonialisme classique, les philosophies àéchelle ascendante de l'carâge des lumières et du romantisme exercent une influence sur le statut politique désiré. Réplique des méthodes de recherche de Bell, l'carétude que voice rérifie sa thèse dans le contexte du colonialisme interne, particulière‐ment parmi les chefs amérindiens du Canada. En accord avec la thèse de Bell, mes constatations indiquent que les valeurs inhérentes á l'carâge des lumières et au romantisme s'associent de façon positive au désir d'carun plus grand degré d'carautodétermination. Les données révèlent aussi que, pour plusieurs chefs indiens, la perception des ‘possibilités' constitue en événement décisif dans le choix du statut politique. The scale‐increasing philosophies of the Enlightenment and of Romanticism have been shown by Wendell Bell and his associates, in the context of classical colonialism, to influence desired political status. Replicating Bell's research methods this study tests his thesis in the context of internal colonialism, specifically among native Indian leaders in Canada. Consistent with Bell's thesis my findings indicate that Enlightenment and Romanticist values are positively associated with the desire for increased self‐determination. The data also reveal that for many Indian leaders perception of ‘feasibility’ constitutes a decisive input in the choice of political status
