MacDonald states Canada is wrestling with reconciliation after the TRC, residential school legacies, and UNDRIP, though reconciliation remains contested and incomplete.
119
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) present New Zealand as a model for Canada?
He suggests New Zealand’s biculturalism, grounded in the Treaty of Waitangi, offers lessons because Māori mobilization led to official recognition of language, culture, and some political rights.
120

MacDonald notes the Treaty of Waitangi (1840) established Māori–Crown relations foundational to New Zealand’s biculturalism.
121
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) define “Pākehā” identity in New Zealand?
He explains Pākehā traditionally means non-Māori (primarily European settlers) and has evolved into a relational identity acknowledging treaty obligations and Māori rights.
122
According to David B. MacDonald (2016), how did Māori activism in the 1970s–80s shape bicultural policy?
He notes Māori mobilization during that period forced recognition that produced policies like official Māori language status, co-management of resources, and treaty settlements.
123
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) caution about limits of Pākehā identity?
MacDonald warns Pākehā identity can signal solidarity but also risks appropriating indigeneity or masking settler privilege.
124
What evidence does David B. MacDonald (2016) give about Canada’s TRC recommendations?
He cites the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action which emphasize reconciliation, land restitution, and Indigenous self-determination.
125
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) describe the use of “settler” in Canada?
He notes “settler” highlights colonial privilege and responsibility but lacks broad mainstream acceptance compared to Pākehā in New Zealand.
126
What alternative identity terms does David B. MacDonald (2016) mention in the Canadian context?
He notes terms like “treaty people” and Cree/Nehiyaw relational terms such as “cousins” as possible frameworks for settler relations.
127
According to David B. MacDonald (2016), what demographic complexity complicates adopting New Zealand’s biculturalism in Canada?
He points to Canada’s 600+ First Nations and 11 language families, plus diverse immigrant populations, making a bicultural model less straightforward.
128
What critique does David B. MacDonald (2016) offer about biculturalism’s substance?
He argues biculturalism often privileges symbolic recognition (language, ceremonies) while failing to deliver substantive redistribution of land and power.
129
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) note the exclusionary risk of biculturalism?
He warns bicultural frameworks can marginalize non-European minorities by framing politics as Māori vs. Pākehā and excluding Asian, Pacific, and African-descended communities.
130
What risk of settler appropriation does David B. MacDonald (2016) highlight?
MacDonald points out some Pākehā claim “second indigeneity,” blurring distinctions and undermining Māori sovereignty.
131
What implications for global indigenous politics does David B. MacDonald (2016) draw about relational identities?
He argues terms like Pākehā or “settler” require non-Indigenous people to acknowledge colonial privilege and treaty responsibilities.
132
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) see global lessons from Māori mobilization?
He suggests Māori activism can inspire frameworks elsewhere, but contexts differ and transferability is limited.
133
According to David B. MacDonald (2016), why is direct transfer of NZ biculturalism to Canada problematic?
He says demographic differences, colonial histories, and state structures mean biculturalism cannot be directly transplanted to Canada.
134
What does David B. MacDonald (2016) assert is required for true decolonization and reconciliation?
He contends reconciliation must go beyond symbolism to include redistribution of land, resources, and political power.
135
How does David B. MacDonald (2016) connect UNDRIP to both Canada and New Zealand?
He notes both countries face pressure from UNDRIP to implement Indigenous rights, showing global norms influence domestic policies.
136
What are MacDonald’s key takeaways about New Zealand lessons for Canada?
New Zealand’s biculturalism offers instructive lessons but is imperfect; Pākehā identity shows how settlers can adopt relational identities, yet Canada’s diversity complicates direct adoption and substantive redistribution is essential.
137
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), what foundational conception of genocide did Raphael Lemkin propose and why is it significant?
Lemkin defined genocide to include cultural destruction (ethnocide) — the destruction of language, religion, culture, and institutions — which matters because it frames cultural erasure as part of group destruction.
138
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), which states resisted including cultural genocide in 1948 and why?
The U.S., Canada, Australia, and Sweden resisted inclusion, fearing liability for their treatment of Indigenous peoples and minorities.
139
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), how did Indigenous mobilization from the 1980s affect the cultural genocide debate?
Indigenous movements revived debates from the 1980s onward, linking cultural genocide to land dispossession, assimilation policies, and suppression of languages and traditions.
140
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), how does Mako assess international law’s capacity to address cultural destruction?
Mako argues that although cultural genocide is not in the Genocide Convention, other instruments (ILO Conventions, UNDRIP, ICTY rulings) indirectly address aspects of cultural destruction.
141
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), how did ILO Convention C169 (1989) change the ILO approach to Indigenous peoples?
C169 revised assimilationist approaches, emphasizing Indigenous participation and respect for cultural integrity.
142
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), what do UNDRIP Articles 7 and 8 state about ethnocide and forced assimilation?
Article 7 recognizes the right not to be subjected to ethnocide or cultural genocide, and Article 8 protects against forced assimilation, dispossession, population transfer, and propaganda, though the explicit terms “cultural genocide” and “ethnocide” were debated and omitted from the final text.
143
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), why were the terms “cultural genocide” and “ethnocide” omitted from UNDRIP despite protections remaining implicit?
They were politically contentious in negotiations, so drafters retained protections in substance while avoiding contested terminology.
144
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), how does recognition of cultural survival reshape Indigenous claims?
Indigenous peoples argue survival includes cultural survival — loss of language, traditions, and land equals destruction of identity and necessitates protection.
145
According to Shamiran Mako (2012), how did Indigenous mobilization reframe cultural genocide as a human-rights issue?
By linking cultural destruction to dispossession and assimilation, Indigenous advocates pushed instruments like ILO 169 and UNDRIP to address cultural harms
146
