Historical Profile of the Côte-Nord Area's Mixed European Indian Or Mixed European Inuit Ancestry Community
註釋With the Supreme Court of Canada decision in R. v. Powley [2003] 2 S.C.R., Métis were recognized as having an Aboriginal right to hunt for food as recognized under section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. In consequence, Justice Canada developed a research program designed to explore the history related to possible Métis ethnogenesis and the imposition of 'effective European control' in selected sites across Canada. Through the use of archival and published documents,this paper explores one of the selected geographic areas; the Côte-Nord region of Québec. This study examined the social history, demographic and genealogical background of the Côte-Nord European-Indian and European-Inuit ancestry population, the distinctive cultural practices of the European-Indian and European-Inuit ancestry group, and some possible indicators of 'effective European control'. A detailed, chronological and thematic, historical narrative dating from the mid-16th century to the early 20thcentury is presented, along with a discussion surrounding certain concepts utilized in Powley.
