“…Despite the persistent marginalization of Aboriginal peoples within Canadian society, significant progress is occurring in areas of cultura renaissance, political activism, and economic development (Fox, 2007Lambertus, 2002. As population levels grow, particularly in the prairie provinces which have the largest Aboriginal-identified population in the country, more media coverage of Aboriginal issues is evident Mendelson, 2004).…”

“…Pilgrimage, Leisure, and Healing Traditional indigenous cultural practices do not separate aspects of spirituality and secularity, making no sharp division between the ritual or mythic and the realm of nature, politics, economics, and domestic activity (Churchill, 2005;Fox, 2007;Treat, 1996). The complexity of activities, ideas, and practices operating at most of the world's pilgrimage sites also undermines conceptual dichotomies of sacred and profane behaviour.…”

“…Such settings are also important in light of the growing interest in therapeutic landscapes and holistic wellness practices in mainstream society. The co-operative use of recreational lands by Aboriginal owners and neighbours is another contentious issue (Fox, 2007) with scope for resolution at Lac Ste. Anne.…”

“…After over a century of operation, changes in culture and man agement since the 1990s have raised the event's public profile. A mura of a praying Dene elder now appears on the main street of the nearby vil lage of Alberta Beach, a book of photographs has been published (Simon 1995), and both print and broadcast media regularly cover the event However, comparatively few studies exist of indigenous leisure phe nomena (Fox, 2007) and the Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage has received minimal scholarly attention.…”

The Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage in northern Alberta is the largest annual panIndian spiritual event in the country, exceptional in its longevity and high annual attendance numbers. This exploratory case study examines the pilgrimage as specialized leisure tourism through accounts recorded in mass media, oral histories, and scholarship since the mid-1990s. Research questions address the internal level of the appeal and functions of the pilgrimage for participants and, second, the recent impact of external events and social conditions. A thematic analysis is based on qualitative interpretation of recurring topics including aspects of place, healing or wellness, and sense of community within and across divisions of ethnicity and cultural identity. As the pilgrimage institution undergoes a shift from Catholic to Aboriginal control and develops new management strategies, it continues to mediate flexible processes of cultural continuity, identity formation, and social cohesion with implications for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relationships beyond its boundaries.Résumé. Le pèlerinage du lac Ste. Anne par les autochtones dans le Nord de 1'Alberta est l'un des plus grands événements spirituels du Canada. Elle est aussi exceptionnelle par sa longévité et est nombres de visiteurs annuels. Cette étude de cas exploratoire examine la description du pèlerinage en tant que tourisme spécialisé par les médias, les traditions orales, et une recherche des études récentes depuis le milieu des années 90. Les questions de recherches adressent le niveau interne de l'appel et des fonctions du pèlerinage et la seconde, l'impact récent des événements externes et ces conditions sociales. Une analyse thématique est basée sur l'interprétation qualitative des matières périodiques comprenant des aspects d'endroit, guérison ou santé, l'appartenance ethnique, l'identité culturelle, et le sens communautaire. L'établissement de pèlerinage a subi un décalage depuis les dernières années, donc de nouvelles stratégies de gestion, et de négociation flexibles basées sur la continuité culturelle, la formation d'identité, et les rapports entre les autochtones et non autochtones sont requises.

“…According to Fox (2007), due to increased pressures from tourism industries, Aboriginal traditions are often treated as tourist spectacles where cultural performances are staged more for capital gain than for traditional practice, which has damaged cultural interconnections between healers, Elders, natural forces, spiritual practices, and kinship relationships. Further, while Elders are respected for their lived experiences and knowledge, they are sometimes limited in their knowledge about current issues that face Aboriginal youths, such as sexual abuse or illegal drug use (Andersson & Ledogar, 2008).…”

Is Academia a Site of Struggle? A Critical Analysis of Resistance Scholarship in Leisure Studies

Scholars have long recognized that injustice pervades recreation and leisure. Some scholars have framed leisure activities or research as a meaningful response to injustice, a body of research we term resistance studies. However, this body of research has grown without a corresponding rise in analyses of unjust social structures. Given that injustice is rooted in the social structure, critical analysis of the resistance studies literature is needed to determine. if the field is tackling the oppression and domination of people. We address this gap through a systematic review of the resistance studies literature in leisure journals. The review was guided by the following questions: (a) what theoretical or conceptual frameworks have authors used to guide their investigations of resistance, (b) what are the targets of resistance (i.e., that which is being resisted), and (c) what acts are presented as resistance. We argue that many of the articles reviewed did not ground resistance historically or conceptually. Without such conceptual grounding, it was difficult for us to see how leisure activities or research could be an effective counter to injustice. We encourage future scholars to ground their work in non-Western thinkers who mapped social structures and worked for material change. The relevance of leisure activities to material change remains to be seen.
