“…Resurgence is to regenerate and renew: "The Treaty relationship needs to be recollected, re-proclaimed, and renewed" (Borrows & Tully, 2018, p. 15;Nichols, 2017). Within Western systems, "Indigenous philosophies of relationality are increasingly being sought to inform strategies of resurgence and reconciliation with one another and the environment," (Borrows & Tully, 2018, p. 17).…”

Before Indigenous scholars engage in decolonial research with human participants, Canadian universities must grant them ethics approval. Grounded by the experiences of the nehiyaw researcher and the Chair of the research ethics board who reviewed the research, we explore the experience of REB review with research exploring self-determination and sovereignty with nehiyaw iskwewak (Cree females) as Knowledge Holders. In accordance with iyiniwak (Indigenous Peoples) beliefs, the co-creators and authors positioned themselves in the centre of a circle with Natural Law teachings of kindness, honesty, caring, strength, and determination. In this shared space, we brought together dialogues connected to thematics grounded in ceremony, Natural Law (iyiniwak teachings), and cyclical process. Through four directions, we examine colonial processes and identify REB accountabilities.

“…Colonial problems and puzzles revolved around procuring racially dispossessing, supremacist ambitions without provoking "disorderly" resistance. They also involved seeking local powers that could divide or subjugate populations by "natural" (biopolitical) devices (Nichols 2019;Simpson 2016;2010;Butler and Athanasiou 2013). Whether signifying a revolution or not, Cape biopolitics drew on then privileged knowledge regimes (e.g., eugenics, sanitation science, demography, epidemiology), while offering tangible exemplars of biopolitical rule (Mbembe 2017;Field 1911).…”

Power, while fundamental to sociality, might be exercised with haphazard ferocity or more judiciously in legally constrained ways. Such constraint requires us first to understand how ruling paradigms work, and the effects of their powers, before entertaining suitable forms of legal limitation. Transposing Kuhn’s famous concept, this paper examines a ruling paradigm of biopolitical sovereignty at the Cape of Good Hope through two examples: the 1891 census’ racialized categorizations of the “population”; and a racialized segregation responding to the 1901 bubonic plague. Prefiguring apartheid, both examples indicate how colonial laws authorized discretionary biopowers and yet exempted themselves from monitoring how officials demarcated and governed racialized population groups. The paper touches on the growing maladroitness of positivist ideas about a sovereign “rule of law” in regulating arbitrary biopolitical forces. It concludes by briefly indicating the promise of legal pluralism and Indigenous legalities to check capricious biopowers while pursuing legitimate life-affirming forces.

“…There are also significant unsupported presumptions in this statement about the necessity of a conception of selfdetermination that adheres to the Westphalian model of statehood. For alternatives to a Westphalian conception of self-determination, seeNichols (2020).…”

This paper considers epistemic dimensions of injustices associated with settlers self-indigenization through false claims to being Métis. First, we provide an analytic characterization of the act of self-indigenization. Afterwards we spell out how confusions surrounding the meaning of the term ‘Métis’ generate lacunae in the social imagination of the dominant society in Canada. These lacunae make it more difficult for Métis people to explain to the dominant society why claims based on self-identification alone are inadequate bases upon which to claim to be Métis. Finally, we highlighting steps taken by the Métis Nation to assert their identity through citizenship registries.
