As both colonizer and colonized (sometimes even simultaneously), women were uniquely positioned at the axis of the colonial encounter -- the so-called "contact zone" -- between Aboriginals and newcomers. Some women were able to transgress the bounds of social expectation, while others reluctantly conformed to them. Aboriginal women such as E. Pauline Johnson, Bernice Loft, and Ethel Brant Monture shaped identities for themselves in both worlds. By recognizing the necessity to "perform," they enchanted and educated white audiences across Canada. On the other side of the coin, newcomers imposed increasing regulation on Aboriginal women's bodies. Missionaries, for example, preached the virtues of Christian conjugality over mixed-race and polygamous marriages, especially those that hadn't been ratified by the church. The Department of Indian Affairs agents withheld treaty payments or removed the children of Aboriginal women who did not "properly" perform their duties as wives and mothers. In short, Aboriginal women were expected to consent to moral, sexual, and marital rules that white women were already beginning to contest. Contact Zones draws upon a vast array of primary sources to provide insight into the ubiquity and persistence of colonial discourse, and to demonstrate how it ultimately was an embodied experience. Above all, it shows how the colonial enterprise was about embodied contacts. What bodies belonged inside the nation, who were outsiders, and who transgressed the rules --- these are the questions at the heart of this provocative book. Jean Barman's chapter from Contact Zones, "Aboriginal Women on the Streets of Victoria: Rethinking Transgressive Sexuality during the Colonial Encounter', won the award from the Canadian Committee on the History of Sexuality. Cecilia Morgan's "Performing for 'Imperial Eyes': Bernice Loft and Ethel Brant Monture, Ontario, 1930s-60s" from Contact Zones, was awarded the Hilda Neatby Prize in Canadian Women's History. 606 $aIndian women$zCanada$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aIndian women$zCanada$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aWomen pioneers$zCanada$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aWomen pioneers$zCanada$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aIndiennes d'Ame?rique$zCanada$xConditions sociales$y19e sie?cle 606 $aIndiennes d'Ame?rique$zCanada$xConditions sociales$y20e sie?cle 615 0$aIndian women$xSocial conditions 615 0$aIndian women$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen pioneers$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen pioneers$xSocial conditions 615 6$aIndiennes d'Ame?rique$xConditions sociales 615 6$aIndiennes d'Ame?rique$xConditions sociales 676 $a305.48/897071/09034 676 $a305.4/0971/09034 701 $aRutherdale$b Myra$f1961-$01506382 701 $aPickles$b Katie$0800763 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783751903321 996 $aContact zones$93736594 997 $aUNINA
