چکیده
I Resume In the history of contact between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Canada, there has been an imbalance in acculturative influences. Generally, Aboriginal peoples have been changed substantially, with serious erosion of their cultures and identities. However, this dominance by EuroCanadian peoples has also been met by resistance by Aboriginal peoples. Policy and programme changes to alter the relationship between these two sets of people are suggested, including a reduction in pressures toward assimilation and segregation which have historically resulted in the marginalization of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada. L'histoire des contacts entre les Aborigenes et les Eurocanadiens temoigne d'un desequilibre sur Ie plan des forces d'acculturation. En general, les Aborigenes ont subi de profonds changements, incluant une erosion de leur identite culturelle. Neanmoins, la domination culturelle eurocanadienne s'est aussi heurtee a la resistance autochtone. L'auteur propose des modifications aux politiques et aux programmes destinees a transformer les relations entre ces deux groupes. Ces propositions comprennent une reduction de la pression en faveur de I'assimilation et de la segregation, pression qui a eu historiquement pour consequences la marginalisation des peuples aborigenes canadiens. The Canadian Journal of Native Studies XIX, 1(1999):1-36.
