ENG252Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Campbell Scott, Unofficial Member, Kainai Nation
Document Summary
You outlines are due at the beginning of tutorial. I have posted some guidelines and the marking criteria. Duncan campbell scott is another major confederation poets, and pauline. Johnson was considered an unofficial member (although some thought her poetry to be too sentimental). I mentioned that the confederation period was when canada was narrated into being. This was when it became a belief system, based on continuing indebtedness to england and combined with a unique identity. This emergent national identity was considered white and anglophone, and aimed to assimilate other identities (french canadian, indigenous, irish, and so on) Darcy mcgee declared that canadian nationality was what we ought to labor for and defend. There is room for one great, free people, but not for several angry, nationalist, obstructive nationalities. The push to assimilate non-anglo identities manifested in indigenous rebellions, and this is when louis riel emerged as a leader of the metis.
