Résumé
<?Pub Inc> This dissertation endeavour offers a personal truth of the Algonquin Anishinaabe land claims and self-government process in Ontario, Canada. It begins by first articulating Debwewin Journey as a wholistic way of knowing that involves both heart knowledge and mind knowledge working together. Through the Debwewin Journey way of knowing I have relied upon the methods of personal experience, a literature review, and introspection to complete a wholistic understanding of what was once merely heart knowledge. Through Debwewin Journey I have come to know that indeed historically the Algonquin Anishinaabe of the Ottawa River Valley made numerous attempts to resolve the Canadian governments' denial of Algonquin rights, and that presently through government practices and policies the Algonquin are merely negotiating a land claims settlement where their agency is confined to a small box. Through Debwewin Journey I have also come to know that Indigenous Nations must institute structures and processes of good governance prior to establishing jurisdiction; otherwise, our relationships with one another will continue to be undermined, the spirit of the wiindigo will prevail, and we will merely become complicit in our continued domination. Lastly, through Debwewin Journey I made the difficult decision to move away from this abomination. KEYWORDS Algonquin, Anishinaabe, Canada, Debwewin, Debwewin Journey, good governance, heart knowledge, Indigenous methodology, land claims, marginal insider analysis, self-government, treaty, wholistic.
