Résumé

Les territoires de chasse ont été et demeurent centraux aux lutes des Peuples Algonquiens du Nord pour la gouvernance de leur territoire et dans les accommodements qu'ils envisagent et prennent avec ceux qui entrent sur leurs territoires. Les territoires de chasse sont aussi pensés par certains gouvernements d'États-nations et exploitants de ressources naturelles tel un moyen de déstabiliser la gouvernance Autochtone, les communautés et leurs pratiques foncières afin de faciliter les régimes de contrôle coloniaux. Ce qui s'est passé dans cette région, et la manière dont les choses ont été comprises, a fait partie du développement du savoir anthropologique quant à la manière dont les peuples continuent de vivre sur leurs territoires et de les gouverner, malgré les intrusions et les relations coloniales. Au cours du siècle dernier, l'anthropologie des territoires de chasse Algonquiens a suivi de près divers débats théoriques, se liant à divers arguments anticoloniaux, tant au sein de la discipline qu'à l'extérieur. Les travaux des anthropologues révèlent la transformation continuelle de leurs relations avec les Peuples Algonquiens du Nord, et avec les mouvements, revendications et arrangements de décolonisation initiés. Ces relations ont impliqué l'établissement d'engagements et de pratiques anthropologiques sur le long terme, lesquels continuent de faire l'objet de débats quant à la recherche et l'activisme anthropologiques. Les articles de ce numéro spécial actualisent ses relations entre les Algonquiens du Nord, l'état et l'anthropologie, et les analyses des territoires de chasse Algonquiens.
