Using postmodern and postcolonial conceptions of the body and the
power relations of colonization, Kelm shows how a pluralistic
medical system evolved among Canada's most populous Aboriginal
population. She explores the effect which Canada's Indian policy
has had on Aboriginal bodies and considers how humanitarianism and
colonial medicine were used to pathologize Aboriginal bodies and
institute a regime of doctors, hospitals, and field matrons, all
working to encourage assimilation. In this detailed but highly
readable ethnohistory, Kelm reveals how Aboriginal people were able
to resist and alter these forces in order to preserve their own
cultural understanding of their bodies, disease, and medicine.
