Notes

  1. Another research strategy, one that identified a number of specific struggles between Quebecois and Aboriginals, Canadians and Aboriginals, Aboriginals and immigrants/ethnocultural minorities would have been necessary to account for incidences in which representations of First Nations could have impacted the debates on pan-Canadian identity (Denis, p. 4). This is precisely the type of close historical and contextual analysis that has been evoked above.
