Nipakanatik : une collection numérique pour la réappropriation, la préservation et la transmission du patrimoine anicinabe

Nancy Wiscutie-Crépeau, Julie Lise Simard, Ejinagosi Kistabish, Juste Roy and Caroline Lemire
Nipakanatik is a virtual library managed by the Minwashin Anicinabe organization. Its mission is to preserve, document and ethically share the collective digital archives of the Anicinabe Nation, in an effort to create a culturally appropriate space for documentary research. While Minwashin aims for archival decolonization and self-determination in the way it preserves its digital heritage, some reflections in order to honor the Anicinabek values and principles underlying this approach are part of this constantly evolving process. How can Minwashin use technology to preserve Anicinabek heritage, while meeting the ethical challenges of data governance? What are the issues and challenges involved in implementing such an initiative? With the collaboration of Anicinabek communities, Anicinabek knowledge holders, experts and consultants, as well as individuals interested in the reappropriation of Anicinabek heritage, Nipakanatik has been created. In this article, we present the state of progress of this virtual library project, produced in partnership with l’École de bibliothéconomie et des sciences de l’information (EBSI) from the Université de Montréal. More specifically, we highlight the theoretical and conceptual foundations of Nipakanatik, and present the collaborative approach deployed with the Anicinabek communities. We will also set out our thoughts on certain issues specific to archiving in the Anicinabe context. We note that the reappropriation of Anicinabe heritage held by memory institutions goes beyond the simple question of inventory, and that this work calls into question the vision of heritage as an object in its traditional conception.

Atlas du Pernambouc autochtone : réflexion sur la récupération et la diffusion des données dans la cartographie numérique au Brésil

Lara Erendira Almeida de Andrade and Estêvão Martins Palitot
Atlas of Indigenous Pernambuco is an internet portal that seeks to mobilize knowledge about the indigenous peoples of Brazil, particularly in the Northeast region. It is organized more than two dozen messages with content composed of texts, iconographies and interactive georeferenced maps. The article reflects the design, execution and developments of the project. Starting from the reflection on power games in the construction of cartography and collections; the methodology for organizing and the availability of research data; the process of dissemination to a large non-specialist public.

Sites archéologiques, sépultures et éthique dans l’ère des nouvelles technologies

Dario Izaguirre
What is an archaeological site? Can we, from the outset, consider a burial site as an archaeological site? Based on these questions, we will provide an overview to address the problem of treatment of human remains in different contexts, considering the implications of this type of discovery in the new technologies. Without losing sight of the fact that we work in an indigenous context, we will address the different positions of the provincial and federal Heritage Laws, as well as those of the Cree communities in relation to the discoveries of human remains and our role as archaeologists in the guidance and support to communities.

Forgés dans la lutte : les principes de PCAP® des Premières Nations et leur quête de souveraineté sur les données

Sadia Khan, Kayla Boileau, Aaron Franks, Patricia Montambault and Émilie Grantham
First Nations data sovereignty is an essential terrain of struggle in the settler colonial context. As part of the overall aim of self-determination, First Nations leadership have mandated the creation of principles that assert First Nations ownership, control, access, and possession of their data and information – the OCAP® principles. These principles have been exercised both nationally and regionally through the Regional Health Survey stewarded by the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC) and, in Quebec by First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC).

La résidence Wikwemot. Avenues pour la préservation et la mise en valeur du patrimoine culturel et informationnel anicinabe par la co-création intersectorielle (nagejétowin)

Maude Labrecque-Denis, Grace Ratt, Roger Wylde and Jean-Ambroise Vesac
This article highlights the Wikwemot intersectoral co-creation residency (nagejétowin). It highlights how this initiative contributes to the preservation and valorization of Anicinabe immaterial, informational, and cultural heritage. It also highlights the crucial importance of the bearers of traditional Indigenous knowledge in the digital mediation process. This approach fosters increased digital sovereignty and responds to the challenges facing Indigenous peoples in the digital age. Finally, it highlights the significant contribution of traditional Anicinabe knowledge to enriching the intersectoral co-creation approach (nagejétowin).

Systèmes de santé apprenants et approches éthiques pour l’accès aux données

Annabelle Cumyn, Émilie Grantham, Nancy Gros-Louis McHugh and Jean-François Éthier
Learning health systems focus on secondary use of health data to improve point-of-service care, health administration, and scientific knowledge. This aim must be achieved within legal, ethical and existing governance frameworks. In Quebec, successful integration of such an approach depends on meeting key stakeholders’ expectations regarding transparency, justice, equity and respect of autonomy. We present an aspect of the ongoing dialogue between the CLARET research group and the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Health and Social Services Commission (FNQLHSSC) on best practices of data access that respect First Nations principles.

La planification stratégique comme outil de gestion et d’empowerment dans les organismes communautaires : récit de l’expérience d’un OBNL québécois en santé mentale

Christophe Tremblay and Béatrice Matte-Breton
Strategic planning has been widely used among non-profit organizations as an evaluation and management tool over the last few decades. Despite its popularity, strategic planning is frequently inadequately applied in those organizations and is rarely documented empirically. Using a storytelling approach, this article aims to describe the strategic planning process used by a non-profit organization providing mental health services in the Québec City area. In conclusion, the strengths and obstacles encountered during the process are discussed to support the transferability of the method to other non-profit organizations and to enhance its potential to promote empowerment.

La réforme Barrette ou les fausses promesses de la NGP

Josée Grenier, Mélanie Bourque, Mylène Barbe and Maxime-Olivier Leroux
The rise of hypercapitalism in the 1980s reshaped public service management, prioritizing economic efficiency and resource rationalization. Influenced by New Public Management (NPM), the 2015 Barrette reform (Bill 10) sought to optimize the Health and Social Services Network (RSSS) but resulted in significant adverse consequences.A 2022 study of 57 RSSS professionals highlights how the reform reinforced rigid, top-down management structures, increased performance pressures, and reduced flexibility, adaptability, and innovation. By borrowing private-sector management models, the reform dehumanized social work, reducing it to mere case management.Workers report a climate of fear, work overload, and a loss of autonomy, all of which undermine service quality and professional motivation. The reform has increased organizational rigidity and marginalized frontline workers.As a new reform approaches, rethinking RSSS governance is essential to foster a more flexible, participatory management style that prioritizes service quality and worker well-being.

Fidélisation des donateurs : modélisation comportementale du parcours philanthropique en milieu universitaire

Karine Gareau, Benoit Bourguignon and Doina Muresanu
This research explores the philanthropic journey of donors loyal to the university education sector. Its first objective is to understand how and why people become loyal donors. Its second objective is to develop practical tools and recommendations for philanthropy professionals particularly in the university sector. A literature review identified 73 variables grouped into five themes. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with donors loyal to two Quebec university foundations using the life story method in order to build a model of loyalty. Finally, some avenues for reflection are proposed.

Perspectives croisées sur les soutiens pour les femmes en transition post-hébergement au Québec

Karla Jacobsen, Laurence Roy and Sally Richmond
This article presents findings from a community-based participatory study focused on post-shelter services for women in Montreal. The study aimed to examine the structural and individual issues associated with post-shelter transitions and to identify action plans to support post-shelter transition. Recommendations from a World Café with 40 participants include three priority actions: 1) targeting practical, material, and financial support during transition; 2) development of peer support; and 3) implementation of pivotal post-shelter intervention. The development of alternative community integration practices by and for women during post-shelter transition is a priority for intervention and research.

Profil sociodémographique et de santé des femmes québécoises qui choisissent de vivre des grossesses et des accouchements non assistés

Audrey Bujold, Christine Gervais and Pierre Pariseau-Legault
Non-taken-up of the perinatal medical system has rarely been examined through the prism of an intentional desire to opt out of this system. In Quebec, we have no data about women who choose to experience pregnancies without follow-up and⸱or unassisted childbirths by choice. The aim of this article is therefore to identify, for the first time, their sociodemographic and health characteristics (n=64) in order to compare them with those of the general population. Our results show that this choice does not constitute a complete rejection of the system, as we might a priori expect.

L’accès aux soins de santé mentale à Montréal : la perception des immigrants

Abdelaaziz Ourhou, Saïd Bergheul and Emmanuel Habimana
This exploratory qualitative study analyzes the perception of immigrants regarding mental health care received in Montreal. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with immigrants living in Montreal. The results show that participants denounce the long wait before accessing psychological services and disapprove of the medicalization of their difficulties. On the other hand, psychotherapy could contribute to achieving relief and reducing psychological suffering depending on the results. The conclusion of this study proposes to change mental health practices targeting immigrants.

Le solutionnisme comme rationalité d’un capitalisme en crise

Yann Pezzini and Jonathan Durand Folco
Various political, economic and social actors are converging around a “solutionist” discourse, which frames the multiple ecological, social and democratic crises as challenges to be overcome together through innovative solutions. This text traces the various trends that have led to this convergence around the “solutionist’ discourse, then attempts to reveal the reasoning and framing underlying it. Finally, it briefly analyzes the dangers of solutionism in terms of democracy, public action and possibilities for social transformation.
