Descriere
The Reaffirmation of Wendat/Wyandotte Identity examines the issues of identity and cultural adaptation of the Wendat Nation of Wendake (Quebec) and the Wyandotte Nation of Oklahoma (United States), both of which originated from the same confederation that dispersed more than 350 years ago.
Author Linda R. Sioui offers a fresh look at the identity markers, historical cultural influences, and contemporary convergences and divergences that characterize the two communities, placing them in the context of globalization, which often tends to present Indigenous groups as a uniform whole. In doing so, she shows the importance of understanding the dynamics of cultural transformation among Indigenous peoples who share a common origin.
One aim of this book is to analyze the influences and impacts of three centuries of cultural mixing and change on the identity of both the Wendat of Wendake, Quebec, and the Wyandotte of Oklahoma, in the United States. From the eighteenth century until the present day, numerous mixed marriages occurred between Wendat or Wyandotte with non-Indigenous and Indigenous alike. Efforts to understand the current identity of this people, whose descendants inhabit a suburb of Québec City as well as several locations in the United States (Oklahoma, Detroit, Kansas), must necessarily factor for this mixing. The present volume also seeks to determine why, over the course of time, this mixing process has not given rise to a separate, distinct mixed blood (Métis) identity, on the one hand, from the current Wendat/Wyandotte communities and, on the other hand, from Quebec and American societies.
