- Abstract
On the basis of his fieldwork experiences in aboriginal communities of Québec, especially in the Atikamekw community of Wemotaci (Haute-Mauricie), the author considers the methodological, theoretical and ethnographical dimensions of the rituals of the first time that marks different transitions in the life of a young Atikamekw. In particular the paper reflects on a ritual little tackled in the literature on the Algonquian Peoples of Canada, the Walking Out Ceremony. More than a rite of passage, the ceremony enhances and reinforces a cluster of relations: with the people, the territory and the non-human world.
