Relations interculturelles entre les Atikamekw et les colons Canadiens en Mauricie entre 1870 et 1910

Abstract

Les Atikamelcw de la Mauricie et les colons Canadiens arrivant dans la région entre 1870 et 1910 ont rarement été étudiés dans le même cadre. Pourtant, ils entretenaient à cette époque des relations soutenues sur plusieurs plans qui témoignent d'une certaine histoire commune entre les deux groupes. Ils entraient d'abord en contact dans le cadre du commerce des fourrures dans les postes de traite. Ils se rencontraient également dans les chantiers d'exploitation forestière ainsi que dans les petits villages du front pionnier. Les célébrations religieuses lors des missions chez les Atikamekw et chez les colons constituaient d'autres facteurs de rencontre, tout comme l'amitié et l'alcool. Tous ces contacts favorisaient les échanges économiques, mais aussi sociaux et culturels. Les Canadiens et les Atikamekw cohabitaient dans certains endroits et en s'unissant donnaient naissance à une population métisse. Les transferts culturels étaient nombreux et ces échanges favorisaient la différenciation des colons du front pionnier d'avec les gens de la vallée du Saint-Laurent.

The Atikamelcw of Mauricie and the Canadian settlers arriving in the region between 1870 and 1910 have rarely been studied in the same framework. However, at this time they maintained sustained relations on several levels which testify to a certain common history between the two groups. They first came into contact through the fur trade at trading posts. They also met in logging sites as well as in small villages on the pioneer front. Religious celebrations during missions among the Atikamekw and among settlers were other meeting factors, as were friendship and alcohol. All these contacts favored economic, but also social and cultural, exchanges. The Canadians and the Atikamekw cohabited in certain places and by uniting gave birth to a Métis population. Cultural transfers were numerous and these exchanges favored the differentiation of the settlers of the pioneer front from the people of the St. Lawrence valley.
