Résumé

Cet article examine certains aspects de la représentation des Ojibwas de Boundary Waters par Ruth Landes. Fondle sur ses recherches sur le terrain des annexes trente, Landes avait dépeint les Ojibwas «Emo» comme des individus atomistes vivants en petits groupes sans organisation politique indigène, oblige de se disperser sur un immense territoire pauvre. Une recherche effectuée sur les travaux publics et inédits des Landes, ainsi qu'une recherche ethnohistorique et des témoignages des anciens ont mis en évidence de nombreux problèmes relatifs aux expériences sur le terrain des Landes et son analyse des Ojibwas. Bien que les travaux de Landes representent le parti-pris et les opinions preconcues de l'anthropologie coloniale, cette derniere a compromis son portrait ethnographique en forgeant des donnees, en faisant de serieuses erreurs sur les faits ainsi que des omissions et en utilisant une methodologie discutable. Tous ces éléments limitent la portée des travaux de Landes en tant que source fiable sur les Ojibwas.
