Extractions: History speaks for the Beothuk The ghost of the Beothuk, Newfoundland's indigenous people, hangs all over the proposals of the long knives for termination of aboriginal rights as the final solution for the Indian question A HISTORY AND ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE BEOTHUK By Ingeborg Marshall, McGill-Queen's University Press Reviewed by Anthony J. Hall L eading the charge against the recognition of aboriginal land rights in British Columbia, Canada's richest and fastest-growing province, are Globe and Mail columnist Gordon Gibson and former b.c. civil servant Mel Smith. In many columns, Gibson has railed against the terms of the Nisga'a Treaty, an agreement that he says entrenches racial discrimination in law. Gibson's arguments, which have wide currency especially in the Canadian Alliance Party, are largely extensions of the themes in Smith's Our Home Or Native Land?, a little text that is on its way to becoming something of a cult classic among far-right activists organizing to oppose aboriginal rights. Smith cites selectively from various court rulings to advance the thesis that it is perfectly legal for governments and corporations to dispossess aboriginal peoples of lands and resources in Canada without their consent and without compensation. Both Smith and Gibson join a long line of social Darwinists who have asserted or implied that North America has no lasting place for indigenous nations, and that natives must simply leave behind their aboriginal nations to enter the political and economic cultures of their colonizers as equal citizens.

Extractions: The interest in human origins in the New World is intense, and each new discovery that has some bearing on human behavior at this early time is often front-page news. Few other areas of research on American Indians attract such media attention as their first arrival in the New World, or the matter of the Pleistocene extinctions. In The Ecological Indian (1999), I explore in one chapter the data and arguments for the arrival of humans in the New World and for the Pleistocene extinctions. The chapter contains many references to articles and books by the principal researchers, and to many pieces readily available in the popular press (see Works Cited ). My conclusions there (and here) can be updated by a stream of materials that find their way into the national press. An Internet search will turn up the latest sites, dates, interpretations, and controversies pertaining to the New World prior to the arrival of Europeans (see

Extractions: Native Rights: The Aftermath of the Marshall Decision What are Treaty Rights? Long before Europeans arrived in Turtle Island (North America) the Aboriginal peoples had been living in their own distinct societies with their own laws, customs and economies for thousands of years. When the British government felt the need to legitimize their settlement claims in the Americas they began to negotiate with the various indigenous nations. The results of these negotiations were treaties, contracts signed by two parties to legalize agreements between nations. When these treaties were made the indigenous peoples owned and occupied these American territories and when they entered into the agreements with the British Crown, they signed as independent nations and not as subjects of the British Crown. Had the British perceived them as subjects, the making of the treaty between the two nations would not have been necessary. In 1760 the Peace and Friendship Treaty was signed between the Mikmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy and the British Crown.

Extractions: Towards the Mi'kmaq People B efore and after Confederation, government policy regarding Canada's native population was aimed at absorbing the country's First Peoples into the majority white population. These policies were imposed without including native people in the decision-making process. Early contact between the leaders of the native peoples across Canada and the European explorers and their governments resulted in a number of treaties. These treaties were often not fully understood by the native leaders who signed them. They were written in French or English, the language of the European nation involved. Translations were usually inadequate. The French and British fought each other for control of North America and gained dominance over the native population. Treaties were signed with the native people, although the Europeans, did not see these early treaties as important. To the native people, these treaties were and are of great importance. To the Mikmaq people and to other native groups, the treaties were agreements that would last until time immemorial.

Extractions: (Malecite, Malécite, Malecites, Malisit) Language: Maliseet-Passamaquoddy is an Algonquian language with two major dialects: Maliseet (or Malécite), spoken mainly in New Brunswick, and Passamaquoddy (or Peskotomuhkati), spoken mostly in Maine. There are 1500 speakers of both dialects combined. Very few people in the younger generations speak Maliseet or (especially) Passamaquoddy, which means that the language will die out within this century unless language revival efforts can successfully restore its use among Passamaquoddy and Maliseet children. People: The Maliseet tribe belonged to the loose confederation of eastern American Indians known as the Wabanaki Alliance , together with the Passamaquoddy Penobscot Mi'kmaq , and Abenaki Indians . The Maliseet live primarily in Canada, especially New Brunswick, with one band across the border in nearby Maine (the US granted official recognition to the Maine tribe in 1980). Older literature sometimes refers to them as "St. John's Indians," though there's no evidence they ever used that term themselves. The Maliseet's own name for themselves is Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet is a Mi'kmaq word for someone who can't talk very well,) but today they are usually known as Maliseets or Malecites. History: The Maliseet and Passamaquoddy people were closely related neighbors who shared a common language, but though the French referred to both tribes collectively as Etchemin, they always considered themselves politically independent. The tribes of the east coast were extremely confusing to the Europeans, who couldn't understand why there were dozens of small groups of Native Americans who lived together yet claimed to be separate nations. What the Europeans did not realize was that the east coast had not been nearly as empty before they got there. Smallpox and other European diseases had decimated the Indian populations, and they regrouped as best they could. The Maliseet and Passamaquoddy, near relatives and long-time allies who spoke dialects of the same language, banded together against European and
