The relocation of the Syisi Dene of Tadoule Lake / prepared by Virginia Petch.: Z1-1991/1-41-144E-PDF

“This working paper attempts to provide a historical and analytical account of the relocation of the Sayisi Dene of Manitoba during the 1950s. A map of "within living memory" land use and relocation sites is attached. The cumulative social, economic and cultural effects of the relocation were examined using historical documents, public and church archives, as well as oral history interviews. A model for subsistence systems was referred to in order to understand the relationship between resource use and kinship organization and effects of change on subsistence economies. The means of production was also considered as a factor for socio-cultural adaptation. Anthropological terms are highlighted and a glossary of terms is located in Appendix A. Documents referred to in the text are located in sequential order in Appendix B"--Executive summary, p. 1.
