Home and native land: Imagining "Canada" in the style of indigenous art. - 279 p.

Major Professor: A. David Payne.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of South Florida, 1998.

On January 7, 1998, the Canadian Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development offered an extraordinary apology to the Aboriginal peoples of Canada for the treatment they had suffered as the result of historical "attitudes of racial and cultural superiority." This research contextualizes the apology by examining indigenous art as a strategic spot where Canada and the Aboriginal peoples negotiate national and ethnic identities.

520 $a On January 7, 1998, the Canadian Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development offered an extraordinary apology to the Aboriginal peoples of Canada for the treatment they had suffered as the result of historical "attitudes of racial and cultural superiority." This research contextualizes the apology by examining indigenous art as a strategic spot where Canada and the Aboriginal peoples negotiate national and ethnic identities.
520 $a The Canadian government's apology assumes that ethnic identity endows the political, economic and social systems of Aboriginal peoples with the ability to create coherent nations. A sense of nation is something Canada wants dearly and has attempted in many ways, as if the fragmented national body seeks a unifying ethnic soul to justify its status as a nation.
520 $a One approach has been to dispossess the indigenous peoples of a significant aspect of their ethnic identities by appropriating the styles of their visual arts. The appropriation of Aboriginal art in Canadian culture helped lay the groundwork for the public attitudes that made the government's apology possible. Further, resistance to the appropriation and the ensuing procedure of dialectic transformed social expectations among Aboriginal communities to make the government's apology necessary.
520 $a The search for a "style in which [to imagine]" (Anderson, 1983) a distinct Canadian identity illustrates the complex process of rhetorical negotiation. By applying concepts of the theorist Kenneth Burke to the way people have talked and written about indigenous art, especially in Canada since 1950, this dissertation reveals how forces such as ethnicity, nationalism, politics, art history, and commercialism merge and converge in a complex negotiation of identity. Further, it reveals how social policy has been transformed as the result both of indigenous art being pressed into nationalist service and of Aboriginal resistance to the appropriation.
