The desire to erase the religions of Indigenous Peoples is an
ideological fixture of the colonial project that marked the first
century of Canada's nationhood. While the ban on certain Indigenous
religious practices was lifted after the Second World War, it was
not until 1982 that Canada recognized Aboriginal rights,
constitutionally protecting the diverse cultures of Indigenous
Peoples. As former prime minister Stephen Harper stated in Canada's
apology for Indian residential schools, the desire to destroy
Indigenous cultures, including religions, has no place in Canada
today. And yet Indigenous religions continue to remain under
threat. Framed through a postcolonial lens, What Has No Place,
Remains analyses state actions, responses, and decisions on matters
of Indigenous religious freedom. The book is particularly concerned
with legal cases, such as Ktunaxa Nation v. British Columbia
(2017), but also draws on political negotiations, such as those at
Voisey's Bay, and standoffs, such as the one at Gustafsen Lake, to
generate a more comprehensive picture of the challenges for
Indigenous religious freedom beyond Canada's courts. With
particular attention to cosmologically significant space, this book
provides the first comprehensive assessment of the conceptual,
cultural, political, social, and legal reasons why religious
freedom for Indigenous Peoples is currently an impossibility in
Canada.
