The analysis asks whether intra-group and inter-group coalition building is a priority in cohort contexts and argues that cohorts should support intra-group coalition work while also preparing students for inter-group encounters.

In this article, I have examined the notion of coalition building in the context of First Nations graduate cohorts. I interviewed women from a range of cohort experiences, asking – Is intra‐group and inter‐group coalition building a priority within cohorts? From these interviews, I conclude that cohorts ought to be sites for intra‐group coalition work among First Nations students, and that the cohort experience should prepare students for inter‐group encounters as well.  \nKey words: intra‐group dynamics, inter‐group dynamics, cross‐cultural com‐ munication  \nLa formation de cohortes est une chose courante dans les programmes dʹéducation de premier et de deuxième cycles sʹadressant aux autochtones. Dans cet article, lʹauteure examine la notion de coalition dans le contexte des cohortes de diplômés autochtones. Des entrevues effectuées auprès de femmes de diverses cohortes au sujet de leurs expériences au sein de cohortes et dans des contextes interculturels ont fait émerger une nouvelle question : la mise sur pied de coalitions intragroupe ou intergroupes est‐ elle une priorité au sein des cohortes ? Lʹauteure conclut que les cohortes devraient être des lieux favorisant le travail de coalition intragroupe chez les étudiants autochtones et que lʹexpérience de la cohorte devrait aussi préparer les étudiants à des rencontres avec dʹautres groupes.  \nMots clés : dynamique intragroupe, dynamique intergroupes, communication interculturelle  \n_____________________  \nCANADIAN JOURNAL OF EDUCATION 30, 4 (2007): 989‐1014  \nIn his essay,“What Is It About Us That You Don’t Like?” Thomas King (2003) begins a story about Coyote and the Ducks with Coyote noticing a group of ducks swimming in a river. It was his daily ritual to come down to the bank to admire his beautiful fur coat, which was reflected in the river. He observed the ducks’ lovely, long, well‐tended, glowing feathers. Coyote noted how they sang and danced, and swam around in circles. The Ducks explained to Coyote that they danced to achieve peace and harmony and their singing was to keep all in balance. Swimming in circles, they explained, served to remind everyone of their relationship to the earth. It quickly became apparent that Coyote’s objective, when he asked for one feather and then returned for more, was to meet his own selfish needs and desires without concern for how he was bilking the ducks in the process.  \nKing uses this story as a springboard to provide readers with his overview of how federal policies in the United States and Canada have served and continue to serve both to relieve Native people from land and to legalize Native people out of existence. It is a convincing story. He takes up the issue of Indian identity, noting how, in Canada, the Indian Act1 has paternalistically defined who is an Indian and who is not, sug‐ gesting that amendments within the act have the power to “make Indians disappear in a twinkle”(p. 132). As King points out, the outcome of identity legislation has not solely been to remove all traces of Indians from the North American landscape; it has been to pit Native against Native. The creation of legal categories has, he argues, speaking from the perspective of a Native person, made us our own enemy. The messiness of issues of Indian identity is pervasive in King’s essays, the source of which may be tied to identity legislation where questions such as “Whois an Indian?” have become “Whom will we allow to be an Indian?”King’s views on this topic, I suggest, serve as well to illuminate solip‐ sistic stances about what Indigenous knowledge is, what constitutes an Indigenous ontology, and accordingly, what it is to be an Indian. I support King’s argument that there are many ways to be Indigenous and suggest that to be Indigenous may be pa","cbCaibEpxebjH5c3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibEpxebjH5c3","pdf",306189,26,"English","# Coalition building in First Nations graduate cohorts\n## Intra-group coalition work\n## Inter-group encounters and preparedness\n## Indigenous identity, policy, and divisiveness\n## Coalition and reparative politics","[{\"question\":\"What question does the article focus on regarding coalition building in cohorts?\",\"answer\":\"It examines whether intra-group and inter-group coalition building should be a priority within First Nations graduate cohorts.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the article conclude about the role of cohorts?\",\"answer\":\"Cohorts should be sites for intra-group coalition work among First Nations students and should prepare students for inter-group encounters.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the discussion connect coalition politics to Indigenous identity and policy?\",\"answer\":\"It links coalition politics to issues of identity shaped by legislation, including how policy categories can pit Native against Native and intensify divisiveness.\"}]","COALESCING IN COHORTS: BUILDING COALITIONS IN FIRST NATIONS EDUCATION | PDF",1792083120,66]
