Aboriginal Politics in the 1970s and 1980s
Students interested in Aboriginal politics are encouraged to consult, as a starting
21
point, Sally M. Weaver, Making Canadian Indian Policy the Hidden Agenda 19681970 (Toronto, 1981); Rick J. Ponting, ed. Arduous Journey: Canadian Indians and
Decolonization (Toronto, 1986); and, ed., First Nations in Canada (1997); Geoffrey
York, The Dispossessed. Life and Death in Native Canada (1989). Specific studies
of the First Ministers' Conferences on Aboriginal constitutional matters include:
David C. Hawkes, Negotiating Aboriginal Self-Government: Developments
Surrounding the 1985 First Ministers Conference (Kingston, 1985), Bryan Schwartz,
First Principles, Second Thoughts: Aboriginal Peoples, Constitutional Reform and
Canadian Statecraft (Montreal, 1986), and Canadian Arctic Resources Committee,
Aboriginal Self-Government and Constitutional Reform: Setbacks, Opportunities and
Arctic Experiences (Ottawa, 1988). On Aboriginal self-government see, Frank
Cassidy and Robert L. Bish, Indian Government: Its Meaning in Practice (Lantzville,
B.C., 1989). An excellent source book on Aboriginal Rights is Bradford W. Morse,
ed., Aboriginal Peoples and the Law: Indian, Métis and Inuit Rights in Canada
(Ottawa, 1985). Important studies of this question include: Michael Asch, Home and
Native Land. Aboriginal Rights and the Canadian Constitution (Toronto, 1984); and
Menno Boldt and J. Anthony Long, eds. The Quest for Justice. Aboriginal Peoples
and Aboriginal Rights (Toronto, 1985); Leroy Little Bear, Indians and the Canadian
State (Toronto, 1984); and J. Anthony Long and Menno Boldt, Governments in
Conflict? Provinces and Indian Nations in Canada (Toronto, 1988). A recent review
of the literature on Canadian Aboriginal Self-Government is Frank Cassidy's
"Aboriginal Governments in Canada: An Emerging Field of Study", Canadian Journal
of Political Science, 23, 1 (March 1990): 73-99. See also: Menno Boldt, Surviving
as Indians: The Challenge of Self-Government (1993); Frank Cassidy, ed.
Aboriginal Self-Government (1991); and Dan Smith, The Seventh Fire. The Struggle
for Aboriginal Government (1993).
Plagiarism
Plagiarism occurs when one submits or presents one’s work in a course, or ideas
and/or passages in a written piece of work, as if it were one’s own work done
expressly for that particular course, when, in fact, it’s not.
As noted in the Department of History Guide to Essay Presentation, plagiarism
may take several forms:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Failure to cite sources properly may be considered plagiarism. This could
include
quotations, ideas, and wording used from another source but
not acknowledged.
Borrowed, purchased, and / or ghostwritten papers are considered plagiarism,
as is submitting one’s own work for more than one course without the
permission of the instructor(s) involved.
Extensive paraphrasing of one or a few sources is also considered plagiarism,
even when notes are used, unless the essay is a critical analysis of those
works. The use of notes does not justify the sustained presentation of
another author’s language and ideas as one’s own.
22
Plagiarism is a serious academic offence. A plagiarized paper will automatically be
failed. Plagiarism may also result in a failing grade for the entire course and other
penalties as noted in The University of Calgary Calendar.
