Summary:
"Originally approved as a master of laws thesis by a respected
Canadian
university, this book tackles one of the most compelling issues of our time -- the crime of
genocide
-- and whether in fact it can be said to have occurred in relation to the many Original Nations on Great Turtle Island now claimed by a
state
called Canada. It has been hailed as groundbreaking by many
Indigenous
and other scholars engaged with this issue, impacting not just Canada but states worldwide where entrapped
Indigenous
nations face absorption by a dominating colonial
state
. Starblanket unpacks Canada's role in the removal of cultural
genocide
from the
Genocide
Convention, though the disappearance of an Original Nation by forced assimilation was regarded by many states as equally genocidal as destruction by slaughter. Did Canada seek to tailor the definition of
genocide
to escape its own crimes which were then even ongoing? The crime of
genocide
, to be held as such under current international law, must address the complicated issue of mens rea (not just the commission of a crime, but the specific intent to do so). This book permits readers to make a judgment on whether or not this was the case. Starblanket examines how
genocide
was operationalized in Canada, focused primarily on breaking the intergenerational transmission of culture from parents to
children
. Seeking to absorb the new generations into a different cultural identity--English-speaking, Christian, Anglo-Saxon, termed Canadian--Canada seized
children
from their parents, and oversaw and enforced the stripping of their cultural beliefs, languages and traditions, replacing them by those still in process of being established by the emerging
Canadian
state
."--Publisher.
