Abstract

Background: Though initial construction began on a colonial boarding school for Indigenous students, known as an Indian boarding school, in Medicine Hat in 1890, the school never ended up opening due to underfunding by the federal government. Analysis: Informed by Indigenous studies scholarship on place and media, this article uncovers archival traces of this unbuilt environment to reveal how white settlers used newspapers as well as visual media to will the school into being, particularly with techniques of re-placement on stolen Indigenous land. Conclusion and implications: This article connects the history of the school that never opened with the present day, insisting on the ongoingness of settler-colonial tactics in media. RÉSUMÉ Contexte : Bien que la construction initiale d’un pensionnat indien à Medicine Hat ait commencé en 1890, l’école n’a jamais ouvert ses portes en raison du sous-financement du gouvernement fédéral. Analyse : Informé par la bourse d’études autochtones sur le lieu et les médias, cet article révèle des traces archivistiques de cet environnement non bâti pour révéler comment les colons blancs ont utilise les journaux ainsi que les médias visuels pour forcer l’achèvement de l’école, en particulier avec des techniques de remplacement sur des terres autochtones volées. Conclusion et implications : Cet article relie l’histoire de l’école qui n’a jamais ouvert ses portes à celle d’aujourd’hui, en insistant sur la persistance des colonisateurs à utiliser des tactiques coloniales dans les médias.
未建成的环境与移民与殖民地交流的场所:以19世纪梅迪辛哈特为例
背景:虽然1890年开始在梅迪辛哈特为土著学生建造一所殖民地寄宿学校,被称为印第安寄宿学校,但由于联邦政府资金不足,学校从未开放。分析:根据当地与媒体的原住民研究,这篇文章揭露了这个未建环境的档案痕迹,以揭示白人殖民者如何利用报纸与视觉媒体,将学校建立起来,尤其是利用在被盗原住民土地上重新安置的技术。结语与启示:本文将从未开放的学校的历史与现在联系起来,坚持在媒体中定居者-殖民策略的持续性。RÉSUMÉ背景:从1890年开始,在梅迪辛哈特建立一个独立养恤金制度,在此之前,牙买加的所有人都清楚地认识到,在政府为其提供财政支持的理由中,有许多人认为这是一个很好的理由。分析:《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》、《信息系统》等。结论和含意:这篇文章阐明了“牙买加人的劫后余生的劫后余生”,即“坚持不懈的劫后余生”,即“殖民者的劫后余生”。
