Intersecting Indigenous Identities: Recognition of Two-Spirit Identity in Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Process.
Master thesis, Master Religion Conflict and Globalisation.
Abstract
Recognition of identity is a necessary and growing project within conflict resolution theory. Identity politics has become a topic of interest due to an increased focus on the individual and a loss of the sense of self in a (post-)secular era. Intersecting factors such as religion, gender, sexual orientation and ethnicity complicate this search for recognition of identity. This thesis explores the harms of misrecognition and merits of recognition of the intersectionality of identity in a peace process. Charles Taylor’s theory of recognition provides the why and theory of intersectionality provides the how of approaching intersectional identity in a reconciliation process. The particular case of the Two-Spirit minority of the indigenous peoples in Canada in the Truth and Reconciliation process on residential schools is highlighted.
