the solutions to challenges to sovereignty

(e.g., the dispute at Oka, the social conditions

at Alkali Lake, the Nisga’a Treaty)

that have been presented in media works.

-Identify measures taken by non-Aboriginal

society that affect Aboriginal identity, particularly

the use, maintenance, and preservation

of Aboriginal languages (e.g., the

Indian Act, residential schools);

– explain how Aboriginal languages, as a key

element of identity, have survived despite

attempts to assimilate Aboriginal peoples;

their identity (e.g., in the autobiographies

of Aboriginal individuals) with those of

non-Aboriginal society (e.g., in court

decisions on Aboriginal rights).

of contemporary Aboriginal people are

influenced by media, literature, and

popular culture.
