Voici une liste de termes favorisée par l’Enquête nationale sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées (l'ENFFADA) laquelle décrit l'histoire des termes du passé ainsi que des raisons diverses pour choisir certains termes plutôt que d'autres pour discuter les enjeux et les peuples autocthones. Commes les autrices l'explique: "Il est important de porter une attention particulière à la terminologie utilisée lorsqu’on parle des peuples, des Nations et des territoires autochtones. Bon nombre de termes fréquemment utilisés proviennent de la suppression coloniale des droits autochtones. Ces termes pourraient être désuets et problématiques, et nuisent au statut de Nation, à la citoyenneté et à la souveraineté autochtones" (Déscription tirée de la ressource).

This source describes in detail what the doctrine of discovery is, how it has shaped Canada's relationship with Indigenous Peoples (legally, politically, economically, and socially) and why it must be formally renounced in Canada in order to achieve reconciliation and decolonization. This is a useful source for teachers who may need some background knowledge about how the Canadian government and settlers more broadly tend to write, think, and talk about Canada as a place that was "discovered" by explorers or pioneers. For teachers beginning to introduce the concept of Treaties, a first step may be to internally reflect upon how we have, generally, historically been taught or are expected to teach Canada's history of settlement. This is an incredible resource for dismantling any preconceived notions of Canada as a "blank space" or terra nulius before European settlement, and a source that provides many justifications for overruling doctrine of discovery pedagogy with new paradigms.

Extract from the article: "Indigenous worldviews are generally holistic in perspective and encompass interconnections amongst all aspects of life and place (Barnhardt & Kawagley, 2005). From this interconnected view of the universe, a sense of cultural identity, collective purpose and belonging is derived. Cultural wellbeing relies on the individual becoming situated within
a cultural worldview. For Inuit, being grounded in Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit supports personal wellness, but also contributes to a collective cultural sense of health and wellness which has sustained Inuit over generations.1 Inuit Elders in Nunavut are documenting Inuit worldview so that the strengths which have always sustained them will still be available to future generations."
