Stories and the Participation of Indigenous Women in Natural Resource Governance

<p>Dans le présent article, les autrices examinent l’absence des femmes autochtones dans les régimes de gestion participative des ressources naturelles au Canada. Les autrices considèrent la pertinence juridique et politique des récits autochtones comme une source de savoir et comme une méthode pour traiter de l’actuelle absence de participation des femmes autochtones. La gestion participative est l’instrument règlementaire dominant sur lequel s’appuient les gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux pour gérer les ressources naturelles de concert avec les peuples autochtones. Cependant, les recherches féministes autochtones ont soulevé de sérieuses questions sur l’exclusion des femmes autochtones de la gestion publique et privée, les paramètres de leur exclusion et les conditions de rectification de cette situation. Les autrices se fondent sur les recherches féministes autochtones et sur la gestion de l’eau pour dégager trois principes d’utilisation du récit à des fins participatives : (1) les récits favorisent l’échange et le dialogue ; (2) les récits revitalisent la responsabilité des femmes de s’engager dans la gestion ; (3) les récits pluralisent les normes de gestion des ressources. En s’appuyant sur ces trois principes, les autrices formulent des recommandations politiques visant à créer un espace règlementaire permettant d’inclure le savoir, les responsabilités et les capacités des femmes autochtones à l’égard des ressources naturelles.</p> <p>In this article, the authors explore the absence of Indigenous women in participatory natural resource governance regimes in Canada.
