Abstract (summary)

Les Atikamekw d'Opitciwan en Haute-Mauricie ont vecu depuis le debut du siecle des bouleversements majeurs dans leur mode d'utilisation et d'occupation du territoire. Ces derniers ne furent pas sans consequences au niveau de leur savoir ethnoscientifique et de tout le processus de la transmission intergenerationnelle. Alors que ce savoir perd de son contenu anterieur et que les representants des jeunes generations ne possedent pas une connaissance aussi approfondie que leurs predecesseurs, ce meme savoir se renouvelle et s'enrichit sous l'effet de nouvelles contraintes amenagistes auxquelles ils sont confrontes. Nous proposons dans ce memoire de demontrer, a partir d'une espece faunique particuliere soit l'orignal comment les changements dans leurs moeurs ont affecte la transmission des savoirs entre les generations.

Abstract (AI English translation)

Information popover about translation disclaimer

The Atikamekw of Opitciwan in Haute-Mauricie have experienced major upheavals in their mode of use and occupation of the territory since the beginning of the century. The latter were not without consequences in terms of their ethnoscientific knowledge and the entire process of intergenerational transmission. While this knowledge loses its previous content and the representatives of the younger generations do not possess as in-depth knowledge as their predecessors, this same knowledge is renewed and enriched under the effect of new planning constraints with which they are confronted. In this dissertation, we propose to demonstrate, based on a particular wildlife species, the moose, how changes in their habits have affected the transmission of knowledge between generations.
