Résumé

Tout comme les femmes d'autres régions côtes de l'atlantique nord, les femmes du Labrador ont une longue histoire d'adaptation aux exigences de la vie d'une société axee sur la peche, la chasse et le piegeage. Pendant plus de 60 ans, la production artisanale a permis aux femmes d'augmenter les revenus familiaux en particulier lors des périodes de pauvreté économique. Cet article explore le développement des premières initiatives rurales lancées par l'Association Internationale Grenfell ainsi que par celle d'autres associations philanthropiques qui ont fourni les techniques d'artisanat, la formation, les matériaux et l'accès aux marches permettant de vendre ces produits artisans. Les auteurs vont plus loin dans leur exploration de ces projets de départs qui se sont modifiés depuis leur insertion. Ils examinent de plus, commentent les femmes de Labrador contemporain organisant la production de l'artisanat dans le contexte plus vaste du développement communautaire.

Karen Szala-Meneok, Wilfrid Laurier University

Karen Szala-Meneok teaches anthropology at Wilfrid Laurier University and is an editor of Anthropologica. Dr. Szala-Meneok's research addresses the impact of the collapse of the fishery along the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland. Such adaptive responses as outmigration and return migration and a re-intensification of interest in craft production as rural development strategy are Dr. Szala-Meneok's current research projects in the Northwest Atlantic region. Her other areas of interest include the transformation of national symbols in the Canadian context and the social discourse surrounding that process.

Kara McIntosh, University of Guelph

Kara Mcintosh holds a M.Sc. in Rural Planning and Development from the University
of Guelph. Her recent research in coastal Labrador has focussed on issues of gender
and rural development in fishing settlements undergoing rapid and intense change due
to the collapse of the fishery. Currently Kara Mcintosh is exploring the relationship
between skills offered by rural development workers and those of social workers, espe
cially as they relate to the psycho-social impacts of the collapse of a key resource base
such as fishing.
