Document Summary
Indg 200 sept 30: christianity as a supplemental structure to existing class and spiritual systems. The way that neylan establishes the fur trade as individualistic and collective: how much were indigenous people connected with catholicism as a faith as opposed to a basis for gaining power. The power of language and naming hegemony christian street vs. heathen street. The idea of victorian outsides but traditional insides. There"s (cid:271)een a deal that"s (cid:271)een stru(cid:272)k (cid:271)ut indigenous people (cid:448)ie(cid:449) it as (cid:272)olle(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e e(cid:454)(cid:272)hange, and europeans view it as an individual process: both neylan and sleeper-smith emphasize the power women held within their communities. The idea of traditional knowledge is used to keep groups static if (cid:455)ou"ve changed since the point of contact, you are somehow less indigenous. Kinship is about connection and relationships: like a constellation of relationships to history, language, the people and politics knowns. And understanding of the self through relationships: christianity is another web of kinship networks, mark rifkin.
