“…It is very interesting to note that the first article published in CJPS dealing specifically with Indigenous politics confronts the issue of disciplinary exclusion head on. In their article “Tribal Traditions and European-Western Political Ideologies: The Dilemma of Canada's Native Indians,” sociologist Menno Boldt and political scientist J. Anthony Long, examine the compatibility of the concept of sovereignty with “traditional Indian culture” and the appropriateness of its usage in modern self-government discourse (1984). The authors argue that nationhood is a far better basis for claims of self-government than is sovereignty, which they argue assumes an authoritative, hierarchical governance, statehood and territoriality.…”

This article reviews the place of Indigenous politics in the last 50 years of Canadian political science. Focusing on the CJPS, it looks at broad themes and clusters in the literature over time, while also trying to explain how the roots of the discipline continue to impact the development of political science in Canada and thus CJPS. I argue that while at least 43 articles have dealt with Indigenous politics (solely or as a significant focus) and at least 18 have had some significant discussion thereof, there nonetheless remains a disconnect between Indigenous politics and the discipline. This disconnect exists because of the methodological and epistemological foundations of the discipline which have resulted in a focus limited to the Westphalian state. While the disconnect between Indigenous politics and the discipline has waned considerably (43 of 61 articles have been published since 2000) as there has been an awakening of sorts, a disconnect nevertheless still exists.

This article proposes a historiographical analysis of the franco-quebecois political science on Indigenous peoples. Political science participates in representing social realities of populations that, in the present case, have been historically marginalised. It is thus critical to understand the processes that underlie its production and diffusion. By exploring the political circumstances that impacted the development of research on Indigenous peoples, we conclude that franco-quebecois scholars have built a field of study that is distinct in terms of its volume, tone, and recurring themes. In particular, we suggest that the study of the place of Quebec within Canada shaped and eclipsed that of Indigenous peoples in the province. Finally, we situate the contributions and limits of franco-quebecois political science with respect to Indigenous peoples. In so doing, we uncover some of the most significant dynamics in the development of Canadian political science in this area of study and provide indications for future research in the field.

“…Unlike European sovereign monarchies, tribes did not have formal government institutions but their communities performed all of the necessary political functions such as keeping the peace and performing duties in the interest of the tribe. 1 Their concept of nationhood was based on consensus among community members and the majority of tribes believed that no person or entity had the right to govern another. 2 The members of a tribe ruled collectively as one body and performed all functions of governance.…”
