Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation

[edit]

fr:Première Nation Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk

The Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation, formerly known as Maliseet Viger 1 First Nation[1], is an Algonquian People of the Wəlastəkwewiyik (Maliseet) Nation in Quebec, Canada. As of July, 2023 they were reported as having a registered population of 1860, all living off-reserve or on another reserve.[2] They have two reserves, Cacouna 22 and Kataskomiq, and they are based at Cacouna in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec.

The majority of the Walastoqiyik living in Quebec speak French, and many speak English. The Maliseet-Passamaquoddy language is still spoken by some people in Maine and New Brunswick.

Geography

[edit]

The Viger nation has two reserves: Kataskomiq and Cacouna 22, both at Bas-Saint-Laurent in Quebec.[3] The nearest large town is Rivière-du-Loup.[4]

Government

[edit]

In addition to a Band council, the Viger nation has a council of sages composed of elders who have a role of examining political decisions which could influence the functioning of the nation. The council of sages also serves as arbitrator and mediator. It also gives advice to the leaders of the band.

The first nation is officially governed by a Band Council, which is elected by a customary electoral system based on section 10 of the Indian Act. The election of June 2020 re-elected Jacques Tremblay as Grand Chief, in which role he is one of five members of the Grand Council.

History

[edit]

In 1891, the government purchased a parcel of land at Cacouna to form the reserve Cacouna 22, the smallest Indian reserve in the country. A number of homes were built there, but it was too small for many Maliseet to settle there. The last inhabitant of the reserve was the chief Jacques Launiere who died in the 1970s.

The Viger First Nation was recognized by the government of Quebec in 1989.

Fishing

[edit]

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Wolastoquey of Quebec started commercial fishing operations. In 2000, the federal government granted them a permit to fish for snow crab and northern prawn. In 2006 they received a permit for exploratory fishing of green urchins, in 2006 two permits for fishing deep fish and three for whelk.

In 2009, a committee was formed to manage the commercial fishing: le Comité de gestion de l'entreprise de pêche commerciale (EPC) (committee for management of the enterprise of commercial fishing). At one point at least, over 50% of the crew of the fleet were indigenous people of the Wolastoqiyik nation.

The development of the Wolastoqiyik fisheries contributes to the economic growth of the regions of Bas-Saint-Laurent and Gaspésie.

The house of Denis-Launière

[edit]

This house, which belonged to the last chief of the Viger inhabiting the Cacouna 22 reserve, was transformed in the year 2000 into an interpretation centre of the Maliseet culture. A craft shop was installed in the shed that adjoins the building.

Priorities

[edit]

OK. I said I might have to start setting priorities. I hereby do so. This is not to say that I'll necessarily spend all my time on the identified priorities; and priorities can change. But it should help me feel more organized. General priorities: (a) RL (b) answering messages; (c) responsibilities; (d) other.

Usual priorities

[edit]
  1. RL: In a natural rebalancing of priorities, I need to put RL first for a while.
  2. Answer messages
  3. SEWQ_rc
  4. Re-order to-do list (order to-do's in priority order; list page move guidelines)
  5. Water supply and sanitation in Colombia for Kerres
  6. done CSD templates general, articles, images and other
  7. read policies
  8. Che Guevara
  9. Safavid art
  10. Items on to-do list
  11. Other

At other times

[edit]
  1. Easy items on to-do list
  2. recent changes
  3. 1000 new pages
  4. XfD: AfD, tx MfD
  5. helpdesk – helpme's

Policies

[edit]

Wikipedia policies are marvelous. In organization and style they are logical, readable and concise. In content they are designed to prevent problems in the maximum number of situations. A few contain rough spots: the exception that proves the rule, an invitation to participate in wiki editing and in the further evolution of the policies. Wikipedia policies are probably among the most thoroughly edited documents in human history.

(Dates shown are simply dates on which I read or re-read the policies.)

  • Global
  • Behavioural
  • Content and style
  • "In particular, the current title of a page does not imply either a preference for that name, or that any alternative name is discouraged in the text of articles." etc.
  • May want to read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (categories)
  • Deletion
  • Can speedy during AfD etc.
  • Any admin can restore a prod-ed article on request
  • Enforcing policies
  • "Wikipedia's decisions ... are based on a system of good reasons."
  • "... you actually need to carefully consider the strength and quality of the arguments themselves ..."
  • Legal and copyright
  • Other issues
  • (etc.)

Possible projects

Delayed edits

[edit]

At female genital cutting: possibly say something like "The terms "clitorectomy" or "clitoridectomy" are also used for some forms of the procedure."

Re Reproductive rights: Here's a quote from the Times article, which is already a footnote in the men's issues paragraph, which provides a balancing point of view on that issue and could perhaps be used in the article: "Franz says that she is, of course, in favor of both parents' taking responsibility for a child, an impulse that she says legal abortion has undermined. One obvious problem, if men can sever their financial ties to unwanted children, is what becomes of that child, particularly as states cut back on health care and social services." (Wanda Franz, president of National Right to Life, quoted here.)

Thinking about

[edit]
[edit]

Hi. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia and editing [[Circumcision]]. That page is controversial and is edited a lot, so when you want to make a change (unless it's obviously good, like fixing a spelling mistake) then please first describe your change on the talk page [[Talk:Circumcision]] and give the reasons for it, and wait to see what other people say about it. I suggest you take the changes you made already, describe them on the talk page and give the reasons, and then people will discuss them. If you make a change and someone reverts it, then you need to talk about it on the talk page -- not make the change again without talking first.

Gesichtete Versionen experiment

[edit]

Parameters: The plan is that I'll find 20 articles (or 50, if it doesn't take too much of my time) with the random-article link ("Zufälliger Artikel") on the German Wikipedia. I'll examine their status at and just before 00:00 31 May 2008 and 00:00 5 May 2008: gesichtet or not? Apparently vandalised or not? How long had they been in that state? What state were they in in the previous edit, and for how long?

For comparison, also the same number of articles on English Wikipedia, where I'll only look at the state at and just before 00:00 31 May 2008, seeing whether they're apparently vandalised at that time or in the previous edit, and for how long.

I may not necessarily be able to easily recognize vandalism on the German Wikipedia. I may have to go with things like whether the person reverting mentioned that they were reverting vandalism. We'll see. (I'll assume all gesichtete articles are free of vandalism. For the May 31 part of the experiment on the German Wikipedia, I'm more interested in the amount of time they've been gesichtet or not, than recognizing vandalism. I'll also do a sub-calculation counting only the gesichtet articles.)

NV means apparently no vandalism. V means apparently vandalism. G means gesichtet (sighted). U means ungesichtet. K means keine Version gesichtet(no sighted version). G-S means selbst-gesichtet, i.e. gesichtet by the same person as the one editing, therefore presumably at the same time as the edit. Going back to the last 2 edits before the beginning of the date shown. If the state of the article didn't apparently change at the time of the last edit, I don't bother counting up the amount of time.

OK, I've done 20 articles. Now, new procedure: I'll keep clicking "random link" until I find an article that's been gesichtet at least twice, or that has been edited after it's been gesichtet. I'll collect a number of such articles in that way.

  1. de:George Froeschel
    This is the first time I've found a "ungesichte version" article (i.e. previously gesichtet but not now) other than via recent changes?? Except I don't understand: it said "Ungesichtete Version [letzte gesichtete Version]" but apparently that was a bug or something -- the history and logs only show the last edit 22 April, and G 17 May. So this doesn't fit the criteria.
    de:Ambrose Gaines
    "ungesichtete version" wrongly displayed? G 11 May. Again, doesn't count.

Notices/Draft

[edit]

I'll post notices from time to time at User:Coppertwig/Notices about my activities or about things I think may be interesting to Wikipedians. I'll plan not to edit it often, so that it will be easier to watchlist it than my talkpage. I got the idea of a Notices page from Abd; see User:Abd/Notices.

February 2009

[edit]
  • In the near future I hope to find time to participate in editing the following pages, and I encourage others to get involved as well:
    • 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict: Contentious topic; more neutral editors called for (permanent link)
    • Israel Shahak: Content disputes, editwarring, deletion of talk page comments (AN/I archive)
    • Cold fusion Fundamental questions about NPOV: what count as reliable sources. Arbitration case. Allegations re editwarring, blacklisting, use of admin tools (AN/I archive). By the way, I recently learned that apparently Muon-catalysed fusion is an example of a low-energy nuclear reaction that has been accepted as reality by mainstream science for decades.
    • Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Trial/Proposed trials etc.
      • Let's at least mark edits as sighted, to guide RC patrollers and watchlisters to avoid duplication of effort and draw attention to unnoticed edits, like the yellow highlighting in new page patrol, even if the most recent version is always displayed by default. Having a sighted version available to readers via a tab would also be beneficial.
      • Let's not label a tab "draft", but call it "newest" or "latest" or something; the word "draft" would contribute to the feeling that one is not being allowed to edit the encyclopedia, as was widely felt at the German Wikipedia. I'm not sure whether choice of words would make only a very small or a large difference, but I believe it would make a difference.
      • I hope that RC patrol tools such as Huggle will be updated to allow people to effortlessly mark edits as sighted.
  • At Simple English Wikiquote, there was an issue when I, as the only bureaucrat on the project at that time, said I wouldn't close an RfB; I suggested that someone else close it. There was a brief "request for decratship" about me, withdrawn and closed as keep per SNOW after little more than an hour. More information here.
  • There was an MfD about my signature page, closed as keep per SNOW. For those curious about the varying colours and sizes of the smiley in my signature, I attempt to explain it in German at the end of the "Simple English Wikiquote" thread here, but also explain it in English on the signature page itself.

Editing Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario

[edit]

The Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario (FWTAO) was an association founded in 1918 to promote the interests of women elementary school] teachers in Ontario, and continued to represent women teachers until they merged in 1998 with the Ontario Public School Teachers' Federation to form the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario.

The FWTAO was formed as a coalition of local women teacher's associations which had begun forming in 1888 in several Ontario cities. They worked for better salaries and job security. In the early years, according to a history by Barbara Richter in the newsletter of the successor organization, FWTAO organizers risked dismissal from their jobs.[8] With the passage of the Teaching Profession Act of 1944, all elementary school teachers in the public school system in Ontario were required to be members of the FWTAO. This empowered the FWTAO to carry out its work. The FWTAO worked to counter discrimination against women; for example, even after the passage of legislation in 1951 requiring equal pay for work of equal value, married male teachers were still receiving an additional allowance.[9] There were strict social expectations of women teachers; a 1965 study found that women teachers were expected by parents not to smoke, place bets, run for political office, teach after marriage or any of a number of other activities; there were strict expectations that they stop work if visibly pregnant. The FWTAO worked to change these expectations.[10]

The FWTAO lobbied for affirmative action programs and used scholarships to help individual women further their careers; they also gave scholarships to young women in developing countries.[9] They developed curricula, which tended to follow a democratic philosophy of education, promoting cooperation rather than competition.[9]

The Ontario Public School Teachers Federation, formerly the Ontario Public School Men Teachers Federation, made repeated attempts since the late 60s to merge with the FWTAO, including three court challenges. In 1994, the Ontario Human Rights Commission upheld a complaint by a female principal that the requirement that she be a member of FWTAO was discrimination. A decision was made in 1996 to merge the organizations, and in 1998 they merged,[11] forming the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario.[12]
