Publisher Description

The importance of decisions regarding the allocation of jurisdiction over Indigenous affairs in federal states can only be understood well when studied transnationally and comparatively. Historians of Canada appear never to have considered the significance of the fact that the British North America Act (1867) gave the Canadian federal government exclusive jurisdiction over Indian affairs, even though that stipulation is unique among the constitutional documents of comparable federal states (the United States and Australia). This article explains that the constitutional provisions in Canada, the United States, and Australia are a product of the previous history of indigenous-state relations in each location, but also profoundly affected subsequent developments in each of those countries. Despite stark differences, the similar and parallel developments also hint at trends that influenced all three countries.

On ne peut réellement comprendre l’importance des décisions en ce qui concerne l’attribution de la juridiction des affaires autochtones dans les États fédéraux que lorsqu’on les étudie comparativement, au niveau transnational. Il semble que les historiens canadiens ne se soient jamais penchés sur le fait que l’Acte de l’Amérique du Nord britannique a conféré au gouvernement fédéral canadien la juridiction exclusive des affaires indiennes, même si cette stipulation est unique parmi les documents constitutionnels d’États fédéraux comparables (les États-Unis et l’Australie). Cet article explique que les articles des lois constitutionnelles au Canada, aux États-Unis et en Australie sont le produit des relations historiques antérieures entre l’État et les Autochtones dans chacun de ces pays, mais qu’ils ont en retour profondément influé sur l’histoire subséquente de chacun de ces pays. Malgré des différences marquées, les tendances qui ont influencé ces trois pays se discernent dans des développements similaires et parallèles.
