- Title
La mémoire orale contemporaine des Metabenutins Uininis (Algonquins de Trois-Rivières).
- Authors
Delâge, Denys; Hubert, Claude
- Abstract
This article is based on fifty testimonies by Algonquins of Three Rivers or 'Magouas'. They deal with family memories, Indian origins, self perception and the dominant group's perception of their identity. The research is related to a legal claim for Indian status by 350 Algonquins. Segregation and prejudice ("uncivilized savages") have long afflicted this population, which is characterized by the maintenance of an endogamous marriage system and classificatory kinship. The main identity markers deal with memory, history, genealogy, mobility related to hunting, unskilled jobs and poverty, and finally to a specific relationship to nature. The Algonquins are still here.
