7 Findings: Customary Clock The customary clock shows Anishinabek had sustainable livelihoods prior to 1950s when detrimental Canadian and provincial policies eroded this. Increased technology by settlers has increased the destruction of the environment, which destroyed sustainable livelihoods. E.g. construction of dam, air boats

39 Sustainable Livelihoods Model
40 Sustainable Livelihoods Colonialism has created stress and increased the vulnerability of Anishinabek Infrastructure is non-existent e.g. no school building for more than 10 years only portables. No real-property e.g reserve, means that government can flood land Destruction of habitat In 2012 Lake St. Martin First Nation is homeless and completely landless

49 Anishinaabe Kwek Livelihoods Integrated Model Source: modified from Thompson et al 2010
50 Sustainable Livelihoods Communities are embedded in provincial and federal policies that limit their sustainable livelihoods First Nations are trying to sustain themselves when government is working against their best interests CFS minimizes women s roles as mothers taking away children makes women more vulnerable: can t pass on nurturing skills
51 Sustainable Livelihoods A foreign system of governance has resulted in elected leadership that is modeled after the western system. This type of governance has brought dysfunction to the community and has resulted in a community that has lost its social fabric, its pride, its honour, and its independence. Vulnerable populations controlled
52 Sustainable Livelihoods Government defines structures and laws that infiltrate community level and actors Structures define livelihoods and outcomes Households are impacted by bigger forces human, financial, physical all of these are impacted by policy or laws Impact of colonization is so great inability to own home, inability to start business, limits livelihood strategies

56 Community Assets for Women Source: based on Carney 1999
57 Findings: Community Assets Community assets represent the local aspects of the bigger picture Indian Act Real property Patriarchal Anishinaabe Community Assets shrink as policy and structures increase so does vulnerability, poverty, and marginalization
58 Findings: Community Assets Anishinabek Human capital No skills Low education Natural capital Landless Don t own property Financial capital Low wages Welfare No credit Third Party Sandbagging (seasonal)
59 Findings: Community Assets Anishinabek Physical capital Water quality contaminated Substandard housing evacuees living in hotels Traditional Hunting Fishing Trapping Gathering medicines Social capital Low social status Vulnerable Role as mothers taken away Single parent Language disappearing Education
60 Current Situation LSM evacuees still in hotels and temporary accomodations Band office still in temporary location in Wpg People are scattered Economy destroyed No community Suicides Cultural Mental and emotional stress
61 Findings: Community Assets Anishinabek Human capital No skills Low education Natural capital Landless Don t own property Political Governance stucture undermined Financial capital Low wages Welfare No credit Third Party Sandbagging (seasonal)
62 Findings: Community Assets Anishinabek Physical capital Water quality contaminated Substandard housing evacuees living in hotels Social capital Low social status Vulnerable Role as mothers taken away Single parent Economic Fisheries agricultural
63 Current Situation cont d Province dictating jurisdictional wrangling Ie selection of land Government has ignored LSM selection of land Province is placing LSM evacuees in internment camp (interim village v. temporary village)
64 Conclusion Poverty, preventative policies, systems and lack of economic opportunities prevent the catch-up to existing technology. E.g. rice picking was a sustainable livelihood until airboats were introduced.
