“…Num primeiro momento, era um termo genérico que os espanhóis designavam indígenas de determinado caráter cultural e linguístico que se espalhavam por estes vastos territórios. Posteriormente, era uma palavra para se referir a índios desse tipo que atuavam como mercadores (HICKERSON, 1996).…”

O arcabouço analítico da etnogênese surgiu e se consolidou nas últimas cinco décadas por meio de um profícuo diálogo entre antropologia e história. As investigações oriundas dessa abordagem questionaram as interpretações que percebiam povos indígenas como portadores de uma essência de indianidade que acabavam perdendo em processos de aculturação em virtude do avanço colonial europeu. De modo geral, a perspectiva conceitual da etnogênese procura conciliar a relatividade das categorias analíticas, o caráter processual de formação e desaparecimento das identidades sociais, a historicidade das sociedades investigadas e identificar as tensões explícitas e implícitas na esfera das relações de dominação.

“…Newfoundland is perhaps unique in the way in which ethnogenesis – that is, the ‘transformation of a collection of individuals into an ethnic group that believes in a common history’ – developed (Gowricharn :388). Nancy P. Hickerson (:70) asserts that ethnogenesis generally follows a three‐phased process: separation, liminality, and reintegration. In the first phase, ‘separation amounts to the negation or severing of their existing group loyalties’.…”

Ethnicity is very much at the core of the individual and has been known to constitute the basis of nationalisms. Loosely speaking, an ethnic group refers to those who identify with one another through a number of shared characteristics (e.g. culture, language, or religion). Based on this, scholars would agree that most Quebeckers meet the criteria – but what about Newfoundlanders? Does calling oneself a ‘Newfoundlander’ invoke a specific set of linguistic or cultural features that are held to be common? Are Newfoundlanders an ethnic group? If a ‘Newfoundland ethnicity’ exists, could a ‘Newfoundland ethnic identity’ lead to a post‐Confederation Newfoundland nationalism? In order to address these questions, I use a modified version of what Anthony D. Smith (1986) says constitutes the core of national identity, the ethnie, and, to place the analysis in context, I briefly discuss nationalism and ethnicity. Following this, I provide an overview of the origins of a Newfoundland ethnogenesis, a review of key post‐Confederation Newfoundland ‘nationalist’ events, as well as an analysis of each aspect of ethnie from a Newfoundland perspective. The article concludes by arguing that while Newfoundlanders can be considered a distinct ethnic group, the likelihood of a post‐Confederation Newfoundland nationalism emerging is low.

“…Such approaches have been rejected, among many reasons, for being either too unidirectional in how they model the effects of power relationships for culture change or for failing to account for structural power imbalances (e.g., Cusick, 1998;Worth, 2006). While other approaches for theorizing and describing colonial culture change have been employed, such as creolization (Ferguson, 1992;Deetz, 1996;Cusick, 2000;Dawdy, 2000;Delle, 2000;Mullins and Paynter, 2000;Wilkie, 2000), hybridization (e.g., van Dommelen, 2005, and ethnogenesis (Sider, 1994;Hickerson, 1996;Hill, 1996Hill, , 1998Voss, 2008aVoss, , 2008bStojanowski, 2010), practicebased approaches have been effective by highlighting native agency, as well as by being particularly well suited for archaeological materials. Indeed, as Lightfoot, Martinez, and Schiff (1998: 201-202) have argued:…”
