2 Related Issue #1: To what extent should nation be the foundation of identity? Chapter 3: Reconciling Nationalist Loyalties: To what extent should people reconcile their contending nationalist loyalties? How Do Nationalist Loyalties Shape People s Choices? (Pages 68-69) Loyalty means being firmly committed or faithful to someone or something. What other words are used to describe loyalty? (Top of page 68) Answer: You can publicly show your loyalty to your nation by participating in a national parade or celebration, or how Victoria Callihoo showed her loyalty to the Metis, or how Winston Churchill exclaimed his loyalty to the British civic nation during World War II. People will often show their loyalty when we are faced with a choice and required to make a decision. These choices to show our loyalty can range from being easy to something that can require great sacrifice. Some circumstances make it difficult to be loyal than others, especially when being loyal seems to conflict with your own interests. See examples in textbook to examine loyalty more closely. Patriotism and Loyalty (Page 69) Patriotism can be understood as love of one s country or nation. Patriotism has been known to inspire behaviour as varied as marching in a parade to risking one s life to defend the nation. Like love, patriotism is an emotion. Loyalty is a behaviour that can stem from patriotism. Nationalist Loyalties and Choices (Page 69) Not all loyalties demand extreme sacrifice like Canadian soldiers who served in Afghanistan. Most of us MAKE A CHOICE to be loyal to someone or something.

3 How Contending Loyalties Can Affect Choices (Page 69) What are contending loyalties? What Choices Have People Made to Affirm Nationalist Loyalties? (Pages 70-74) Read pages 70 and 71 about reclaiming Inuit names and Inuit identity. Read Kiviaq - Championing a People s Rights on page 71. Affirming Nationalist Loyalties Record examples of the ways you and others have affirmed nationalist loyalties. An example has been provided in each section to get you started. Ways I Have Affirmed My Canadian Nationalism Standing and singing the national anthem Ways Other People Have Affirmed Their Nationalist Loyalties First Nations people established the National Indian Brotherhood, then renamed it Assembly of First Nations Nationalist loyalties means a commitment to one s nation. Non-nationalist loyalties means a commitment to other aspects of people s identity.

4 Nationalist Loyalties in a Multicultural Society (Page 72) Most immigrants are aware that Canada is a civic nation - and this is a reason many people choose to immigrate to this country. They know that the law guarantees them the same rights as all other Canadian citizens. 1. What is cultural pluralism and what s another name for cultural pluralism? National Loyalties in a Multicultural and Pluralistic Society 2%$&#,(-"1+(4*(5+%06+(7%&",( 2%$&#,(-"1+(4*(7%8&(944$#,%&( -*(3.::"0*(3#"#+:+&#( (

5 Expressing Non-Canadian Nationalist Loyalties (Page 73) Baltej Singh Dhillon and reasonable accommodation. If you have ever moved to a new town or a new school, you may have an understanding of what it feels like to try and fit in into a new environment. This can be true for new Canadians. At first, they want to try and fit in with their new country, but over time, they may begin to feel more comfortable expressing their non-canadian nationalist loyalties. Question for discussion: Should Canada require immigrants to give up their previous nationalist loyalties when they become Canadian citizens? Why or why not? Putting Multiculturalism to the Test (page 73) Canadians are divided over how much immigrants should try to fit into Canadian culture. This debate often focuses on reasonable accommodation. 1. What is reasonable accommodation? Reasonable Accommodation and Nationalist Loyalties (Page 74) Ever since Confederation, people have disagreed over whether the idea known as reasonable accommodation supports a shared sense of Canadian identity and belonging - feelings that are ESSENTIAL to developing nationalist loyalties. Read on page 74 and write out below what Stephen Harper had to say about what is Canada s greatest STRENGTH. 1. Should Canada demand that immigrants renounce past nationalist loyalties when they choose to become Canadian citizens? Explain your answer. 2. Why did the Supreme Court not support the Sikh application challenging the wearing of hard hats?

6 3. Do you agree that Sikhs should be accommodated by allowing them to wear the turban in the RCMP force? Explain your answer. 4. Explain the quote from the Voices section at the top of page 73. How Can Nationalist Loyalties Create Conflict (Pages 75-77) Sometimes, people can be loyal to more than one nation and their nationalist loyalties can exist without conflict. If you are a new Canadian citizen, for example, you might feel a strong loyalty to Canada. Please read the middle of Page 75 and then look at why July 1 is considered a day of mourning in Newfoundland as well as a day of celebration. Contending Loyalties and Conflict Contending nationalist loyalties can lead to conflict between peoples. Conflicts can arise, for example, when two peoples want to establish their nation in the same territory. If they cannot settle or resolve their conflicting loyalties, the result may be violence. Israel is an example. Contending Loyalties in Quebec (Page 77) Questions: 1. What do Quebecois have a long history of? 2. What did the referendum of 1995 force Quebecers to do? 3. What percentage of Quebecois voted in this 1995 referendum?

7 4. What was the margin of victory for the NO side over the YES side? 5. What is a Quebecois sovereignists? 6. What do Quebecois sovereignists believe in? 7. What do Quebecois federalists believe in? 8. Examine Raymond Giroux s arguments on page 77 regarding the Quebecois identity and the Canadian identity being inseparable. Cite two arguments. a. b. 9. What was the importance of the passage of Bill 101 in Quebec?

8 10. What trends are evident in Figure 3-11, p. 79? Is this a result of Bill 101? 11. Who was Rene Levesque? How Have People Reconciled Contending Nationalist Loyalties? (Pages 82-84) Questions: (Page 82) 1. What does reconciling mean - in the first paragraph on page What has the Canadian government tried to do to First Nations, Inuit, and Metis in the past? 3. What do many First Nations, Inuit, and Metis continue to struggle with?

9 The Oka Crisis (p. 82) 1. Describe what happened in the Oka Crisis and how it was eventually resolved. What contending nationalist loyalties divided the stakeholders in the crisis? The Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples (p.83) 1. What was the significance of the Statement of Reconciliation, passed in 1998? 2. What was the groundbreaking five volume report of 1996 called and what did this report condemn? 3. What words were used to sum up the commissioners main conclusion?

10 4. How did the report urge Canadians to view First Nations, Inuit and Metis? 5. Explain how the Royal Commision on Aboriginal Peoples helped reconcile the issues raised by the Oka Crisis. Land Claims (p.80) 1. What did the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples say about land? 2. What is a land claim? 3. How many land claims remain unsettled in Canada? 4. Why did the First Nations organize a National Day of Action?

11 5. Look at Figure 3-15 on page 84. Why do you think it takes so long for the Canadian governments to settle Aboriginal land claims? 6. Look at page 86 - Please answer the following questions that are written in your textbook: 2(a) -Maple Leaf Forever 3(a) Cartoon 3(b) perspectives
