Politiques gouvernementales canadiennes et prise en charge en milieu autochtone: Regards sur le processus de guérison dans l'expression sociale d'Opitciwan

Abstract

Ce mémoire traite des initiatives de prise en charge qui ont cours au sein des collectivités autochtones du Québec et plus particulièrement de celles touchant le secteur de la santé. Le concept de santé en milieu autochtone fait référence à une multiplicité de perceptions et ne peut être traité qu'à l'intérieur du contexte de prise en charge actuel. Je propose donc de prendre un exemple d'initiative locale manifestée par un petit groupe de femmes. Le renforcement de la solidarité collective assuré par un réseau d'entraide communautaire, soit le Comité des femmes Atikamekw d'Opitciwan, servira de modèle. L'importance que prennent leurs initiatives dans le processus de guérison contemporain, en tenant compte des enjeux historique, politique, économique, social et culturel avec lesquels elles ont à manœuvrer, constitue l'objet de ce mémoire.

This thesis deals with the care initiatives taking place within the indigenous communities of Quebec and more particularly those affecting the health sector. The concept of health in an indigenous environment refers to a multiplicity of perceptions and can only be treated within the current care context. I therefore propose to take an example of a local initiative demonstrated by a small group of women. The strengthening of collective solidarity ensured by a community support network, the Atikamekw Women's Committee of Opitciwan, will serve as a model. The importance of their initiatives in the contemporary healing process, taking into account the historical, political, economic, social and cultural issues with which they have to maneuver, constitutes the subject of this dissertation.
