IN2CC006 - The First Nations... The First Victim.

I read an excerpt from the book Residential Schools: The Stolen Years entitled “Jacob“. It is a story told to Maria Campbell by her uncle Gabriel Vandal. As the preface explains, “Gabriel attended the Duck Lake Residential School in Saskatchewan, and he served with distinction in two World Wars. He always said that the experiences he had in these two wars were nothing compared to the experience he had and saw at residential school.”

The most dramatic moment that unsettled me in this oral story is when a priest and a policeman come to Jacob home intent on taking away his own children to a residential school. He feels dead inside because he knows how hard life was for him during the twelve years he was in residential school. He lost his name, his language and his aboriginal ways. Jacob express his experiences in these words: “…our roots they get broken so many times“.In the 1980s horrible stories began to emerge about the abuse, both physical and psychological, that people suffered in residential schools. This abuse had enormity consequences on the normal development of young Aboriginal peoples.

The residential schools were created with the precise intent to break the children ties, to language, family, and traditional ways of life, and then to re-educate them in Christian and Euro-Canadian ways. This is the last major and well documented abuse against Aboriginals of  a series initiated about three centuries before, when for the first time native Canadians met Europeans.

During my research to complete this Unit about Aboriginal Peoples, I remembered that my grandmother taught Native Peoples in a provincial school in Quebec before she was married. The institution name was Résidence Niapiska (also called Pensionnat Kaniapiscau) and located in Havre Saint-Pierre along the Saint-Laurence River. My realisation that this was a residential school raised questions and challenged what I had heard in the oral family history related by my grandmother. Fortunately, I still have two aunts alive who are able to give me better information about the activities inside this Residential school operated by Christian missionaries.

IN2CC005 - J. S. Woodsworth and Eugenics

James Shaver Woodsworth (July 29, 1874 – March 21, 1942) was a pioneer in the Canadian social democratic movement. Following more than two decades ministering to the poor and the working class, J. S. Woodsworth left the church to lay the foundation for, and become the first leader of, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), a social democratic party that later became the New Democratic Party (NDP). Despite his left-leaning positions on many issues, Woodsworth was a supporter of the Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta, and a believer in the theory of eugenics.

From Wikipedia:
Eugenics is a "the study of, or belief in, the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)." Eugenics was at its height in the early decades of the 20th century and was largely abandoned with the end of World War II.

At its zenith, the movement often pursued pseudoscientific notions of racial supremacy and purity. Eugenics was not confined to any one country or culture,
but was practiced around the world and was promoted by governments, and influential individuals and institutions. Its advocates regarded it as a social philosophy for the improvement of human hereditary traits through the promotion of higher reproduction of certain people and traits, and the reduction of reproduction of certain people and traits.

Today it is widely regarded as a brutal movement which inflicted massive human rights violations on millions of people. The "interventions" advocated and practiced by eugenicists involved prominently the identification and classification of individuals and their families, including the poor, mentally ill, blind, 'promiscuous women', homosexuals and entire "racial" groups——such as the Roma and Jews——as "degenerate" or "unfit"; the segregation or institutionalization of such individuals and groups, their sterilization, their "euthanasia", and in the worst case of Nazi Germany, their mass extermination. The practices engaged in by eugenicists involving violations of privacy, attacks on reputation, violations of the right to life, to found a family, to discrimination are all today classified as violations of human rights. The practice of negative racial aspects of eugenics, after World War II, fell within the definition of the new international crime of genocide, set out in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. In Canada, the eugenics movement took place early in the 20th century, particularly in Alberta, and was quite popular.

The Sexual Sterilization Act of Alberta was enacted in 1928, focusing the movement on the sterilization of mentally deficient individuals, as determined by the Alberta
Eugenics Board. The campaign to enforce this action was backed by groups such as the United Farm Women's Group, including key member Emily Murphy.Individuals were assessed using IQ tests like the Stanford-Binet.

This posed a problem to new immigrants arriving in Canada, as many had not mastered the English language, and often their scores denoted them as having impaired intellectual functioning. As a result, many of those sterilized under the Sexual Sterilization Act were immigrants who were unfairly categorized.

The popularity of the eugenics movement peaked during the Depression. Individuals sought an explanation for the financial problems of the nation, and the notion of defective breeding became a scapegoat; citizens blamed individuals considered to be subhuman. The end of the Canadian eugenics movement was brought about when the Sexual Sterilization Act was repealed in 1972.

DINO FORMAGGIO (1914-2008)

Filosofo dell'arte e maestro di vita.
di Vladimiro Elvieri

“I millenni si inseguono ai millenni, frattanto le vite si inseguono alle morti, le democrazie muoiono in tirannidi, le tirannidi muoiono in democrazie, nulla sta fermo, nulla dura, tutto s’involge nel Tempo secondo contraddizione e negazione. Oggi, dopo qualcosa come 2500 anni, sembra piuttosto difficile contestare l’affermazione contenuta in un frammento di Anassimandro: “Principio degli esseri è l’infinito… da dove infatti gli esseri hanno l’origine, ivi hanno anche la distruzione secondo necessità, poiché essi pagano l’uno all’altro la pena e l’espiazione dell’ingiustizia secondo l’ordine del tempo”. Una sentenza non allegra per i non giusti esseri umani, ma, alla fine, un sereno pensiero per i giusti che si consolano guardando la storia, per millenni, fuori di casa. Là dove le ingiustizie, almeno, vanno e tornano, come le morti e le vite, in un giro, per ora, incessante, né più né meno che le morti e le vite, le democrazie e le tirannidi secondo Necessità o Legge universale, per dir si voglia. Il Nulla nullificante e creante è figlio del Tempo. Oltre il proprio naso, nel Tempo.


Da giovani si impara l’immortale lezione del pensiero greco, nel mito, nella tragedia, nella filosofia: si contempla la statuaria grandezza dell’Uomo e si sogna con Prometeo di voler rubare il fuoco agli dèi per portarlo alle genti della terra. Poi, viene l’avvoltoio che ti mangia il fegato, e la punizione, la prigione. Giunti così alla maturità, si combatte con Don Chisciotte per raddrizzare torti e ingiustizie: un po’ come voler raddrizzare le gambe ai cani. Da vecchi, infine, ci si rende conto che la Natura produce di continuo, gettandoli a caso in mezzo alle esistenze, Uomini sì e uomini no. Ancora una volta la contraddizione, la negazione. L’insopprimibile necessità – come legge universale – che, nel Tempo, il positivo succeda al negativo e viceversa, come la salute alla malattia, la vita alla morte e viceversa, magari pendolarmente nella Storia. Buono a sapersi. Pare sia la suprema Legge di un irresistibile Tutto. Si impara sempre.”

“Dino Formaggio” (fotografia di Gianfranco Salgarelli)


Con queste parole Dino Formaggio conclude la sua autobiografia intitolata “Storia di un uomo in cammino con il suo carro”, scritta tra ottobre e dicembre del 2002, nella sua casa di Illasi, in provincia di Verona, dove risiedeva, con l’adorata moglie Adriana e il terzo figlio Damiano, dal 1980.
Una vita, la sua, ricca di sempre nuove avventure culturali e umane, condotta  sul terreno fertile di un insegnamento fatto di profonde riflessioni che abbracciano i campi dell’estetica, della filosofia, dell’arte e dell’impegno civile, raccolte in numerose e importanti pubblicazioni, alcune delle quali tradotte in più lingue. Dino Formaggio, l’ultimo dei grandi filosofi formatisi alla prestigiosa scuola di Antonio Banfi, all’Università Statale di Milano, si è spento all’età di 94 anni, sabato 6 dicembre 2008, lasciandoci in dono un grande patrimonio di pensiero e di cultura generosamente offerto agli innumerevoli allievi nei licei e nelle università che hanno avuto la fortuna di ascoltarlo, così come ai tanti amici artisti che hanno condiviso con lui (egli stesso da sempre segretamente artista) emozionanti e umanissime esperienze creative e di vita.


Cremona ha avuto la fortuna di accoglierlo in diverse occasioni; dai lontani tempi dell’amicizia con Miro Martini, prematuramente scomparso nel 1951, per il quale aveva scritto la prefazione al libro “La deformazione estetica”, al 1996, con una memorabile conferenza dal titolo “Il mondo dei sensi e l’estetica”, nell’ambito della mostra “Immagini del sentire /I cinque sensi nell’arte”, e poi, alla fine degli anni ’90, la collaborazione con il quotidiano “La Cronaca”, che gli pubblica diversi articoli su temi importanti dell’attualità e sui destini del consorzio umano alle soglie del terzo millennio come in “NOVECENTO ADDIO ! Difficile commiato” che analizzava attraverso una serie di spunti riflessivi il secolo appena trascorso, congedandoci da esso, e nello stesso tempo, mettendoci in guardia sugli scenari futuri della globalizzazione. Inoltre, la preziosa e sempre disinteressata partecipazione alle biennali internazionali di incisione “L’Arte e il Torchio”, della quale era Presidente del Comitato scientifico, con testi in catalogo ricchi di approfondimenti sull’arte e sulla cultura incisoria. Ricordiamo che, sempre nell’ambito de “L’Arte e il Torchio”, nel maggio 2005, la sede dell’ADAFA, della quale era socio onorario dal 2003, ha ospitato una delle ultime testimonianze del grande filosofo, in una conferenza sul tema “L’Arte e il Tempo”,  in seguito pubblicata in un DVD realizzato dal regista Jean Cloutier nel 2007.

“Dino Formaggio” 1997  (fotografia di Vladimiro Elvieri)


Dino Formaggio, noto in Italia e all'estero per i suoi studi di estetica e di critica d'arte e per il suo impegno sociale e civile, era nato a Milano il 28 luglio 1914 da Angela Malandra, mondina divenuta abilissima ricamatrice di pizzi e di merletti d'Irlanda, originaria di Vespolate (Novara), dove, recentemente, le è stato intitolato il locale Museo d'arte contemporanea, sposata nel 1913 con Angelo Formaggio. Dino inizia a lavorare come operaio metalmeccanico presso una grande fabbrica (la Brown-Boveri di Milano) e passa in seguito alle orologerie Binda, per potersi meglio dedicare agli studi serali. Ottenuto il diploma all'Istituto Magistrale, nel 1933 viene chiamato ad insegnare presso la scuola elementare di Motta Visconti, ricoprendo quella cattedra che fu già della poetessa Ada Negri. Conseguita nel frattempo anche la licenza liceale, si iscrive all'Università Statale di Milano, dove, sotto la guida di Antonio Banfi, ha modo di affrontare ed elaborare quella concezione dell'arte come prassi e come vita che diventerà uno dei nodi teoretici fondamentali della sua filosofia dell'arte. Sono gli anni in cui gli articoli scritti per la rivista “Corrente”, fondata da Ernesto Treccani, gli procurano una certa notorietà. Si laurea nel 1938 con una tesi intitolata “Rapporto tra arte e tecnica nelle estetiche europee contemporanee”.


Nel 1943 aderisce alla guerra di liberazione partigiana, legandosi ai gruppi milanesi e operando nel Comitato di agitazione degli intellettuali creato da A. Banfi, con il quale entra in seguito come segretario organizzativo nel Fronte della Cultura. Collabora alla rivista “Studi filosofici” e alla fondazione della “Società di estetica”, pubblicando nel frattempo numerosi saggi dedicati all'arte. La sua brillante carriera lo vede impegnato nelle università di Pavia (chiamato da Enzo Paci), di Padova, dove fu preside della Facoltà di Magistero e Pro-rettore, nei turbolenti anni della contestazione studentesca, e a Milano, come professore ordinario di Estetica; dal 1992 era professore emerito dell'Università degli Studi di Milano, e nel 1996 era stato pubblicamente insignito, nell'arena di Nimes, del Lions d'Or International” quale alto riconoscimento della sua vita di impegno civile e di contributo alla cultura europea. A lui è intitolato il Museo di Arte contemporanea di Teolo (Padova), che raccoglie più di duecento opere d'arte donategli dai numerosi autori italiani e stranieri che, nel corso degli anni, sono venuti dialogando con l'amico filosofo. In anni recenti gli era stato inoltre attribuito, dal Comune di Milano, l'Ambrogino d'oro, per importanti meriti culturali.

IN2CC004 - Later is over

“Later is over” means it’s time to jump into my IN2CC mission: Content Creation. The project I initiated involves preparing a multimedia document about the family Cloutier in for Generations Y and Z… I asked my sisters Mireille and Louise and my brother Pierre to give me all the materials (photos, videos, audio files, art works, significant objects) they have related to this project. This will be the raw stuff I will work on to create a  profile of each nephew (Generation Y and Z…) and present it during the official family POULET * in October 2010.

My starting point will be to find more informations about our ancestors, starting with Zacharie Cloutier, the first of the family to arrive in Nouvelle France. Below is a good, accurate entry from Wikipedia about him. In my search I will also keep account of my generation’s  grand parents’ (Cloutier, Levitre, Paquet, Rouillard) origins as I am still able to retrieve information about them from living relatives.

From Wikipedia:
Zacharie Cloutier (c. 1590 - September 17, 1677) was born in Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Mortagne (Perche), France. Cloutier was a French carpenter who emigrated to New France in the first wave of the Percheron Immigration, settled Beauport, Quebec and started one of the foremost families in Quebec.

Life in New France
Cloutier was one of the first Frenchmen recruited by Robert Giffard de Moncel to expand the colony of New France by settling the Beauport area near Quebec City. Cloutier arrived in 1634 (at the age of 44) and either arrived with or was soon followed by his family. This was an important addition to the colony's population which numbered about 100 prior to his arrival. Cloutier worked with fellow emigre Jean Guyon du Boisson to construct Giffard's manor house (the oldest house in Canada) and other colonial buildings. Cloutier and Guyon resisted for several years paying the fielty and homage owed to Giffard under the Seigneurial system of New France until the Governor of New France explicitly ordered them to do so. This was one of the first disputes against transplanting Old World hierarchy to the New World that would carry through the centuries even past the time of the British conquest.
Eventually, Cloutier's relationship with Guyon, who was also his neighbour, deteriorated to the point that Cloutier sold his land and moved to Château-Richer, where Governor Jean de Lauzon granted him land. He died in 1677 at age 87.

Marriage and Children
Zacharie Cloutier married Sainte Dupont on July 13, 1616 in Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Mortagne (Perche), France. With her he fathered five known children:
Zacharie Cloutier (1617-1708), married Marie-Madeleine-Barbe Aymard
Jean Cloutier (1620-1690), married Marie Anne Martin
Marie-Anne Cloutier (1626-1648), married Robert Drouin
Charles Cloutier (1629-1709), married Louise Morin
Marie-Louise Cloutier (1632-1699), married Jean-Marie Mignot-Châtillon

Descendants
Zacharie is recognized as the ancestor of the Cloutiers, one of the foremost French-Canadian families. By 1800, Cloutier had 10,850 French-Canadian descendants -- the most of any Quebec colonist -- according to marriage records studied by the Historical Demography Research Program of the Université de Montréal.
Zacharie Cloutier is a common ancestor of Madonna, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Alanis Morisette, and Angelina Jolie.

Honours
In 1972, a house originally built and lived in by Cloutier is reconstructed and named a provincial heritage site.
In 1984, a monument was erected in Beauport to commemorate the 350th anniversary of Cloutier's arrival.

IN2CC003 - Life will open

I was at DEEC at 9:35 am, waiting for the classroom to open. As I was looking at the information billboard, I noticed a woman next to me looking around and moving in a strange jerky way. Because in this part of Vancouver where most of the homeless live, my first thought was: will she ask me for help or money?

My brain give me a wrong perception from her. I was prejudiced, but, after two minutes, she still had not asked me for money. I connected with her, facing her looking in her “Hidden Dimension” (Edward T. Hall).

Fortunately I stopped thinking negatively about her and switched to a more open, respectful and positive way of interacting. I soon discovered that she entered the Education Centre to investigate courses for her young son.

Admiration is the word for what I felt. This woman, in a difficult situation and with a handicap, without the opportunity that most Canadians have, was there to try to find how she can give a better education to her children. For her, entering a “knowledge temple” called for courage because of the fear that people would judge her or refuse her. Instead, she found a DEEC employee who directed her in this investigation. Exiting the centre, she was joyful, saying “It’s a great place”.

Every day I find myself more and more involved in this type of human exchange. I feel blessed to be growing in a context where parents, relatives and friends support learning and share great experience in life.

I bring you now a paragraph of the song from the Canadian artist Bruce Cockburn. It’s title is “Life will open” and I heard it for the first time in the early ’70s. This great short lyric reflects the common humanity that I perceive from encounters like the one I had with this courageous woman.

We are children of the river we have named "existence"
Undercurrent and surface pass in the same tense
Nothing is confined except what's in your mind
Every footstep must be true

IN2CC002 - Cultural flavor

Yesterday morning I arrived too early for my English self-paced lesson at DEEC so I decided to walk around the block and then I entered in the nearest coffee shop on Powell Street. The waiter ask me what I would like a drink. I immediately felt he was a newcomer like me. He was gentile and prepared for me my daily Cappuccino.

While he was doing this he was on a phone call. He was speaking in a South Slave language. I started to read the local newspaper and continued listening to his conversation that went on for about twenty minutes. I was curious and I looked around at furniture and decoration in his coffee shop, I conclude that he was from Ohrid (Macedonian).

The next day I was happy to wake up with the memory of my first travel to Ohrid with my wife Sabrina in the summer 1986. I remember a trip on a boat, navigating Ohrid Lake in the morning under a sparkling sun. It was a pleasant to recall the cultural flavor of the Souther balkanizes.

Ohrid is on the eastern shore of Lake Ohrid in the Republic of Macedonia. The city is rich in picturesque houses and monuments, and is notable for having once had 365 churches, one for each day of the year, and is referred to as the Macedonian Jerusalem.

IN2CC001 - Continuous journey

After a nice bicycle tour in Stanley Park (Vancouver), I arrived at Sunset Beach just before sundown behind the Gulf Island Mountains. A similar inspirational moment happened to me at this same beach during a visit in the summer of 1970. It’s great to remember that marvelous instant and feel that life is a continuous journey. Obviously, the people around us and our way of life have change but everybody is waiting for a sunset like this. You feel like you are part of the ongoing cycle of the creation.

IN2CC000 - Natural depository

In this section of the blog, I will write a series of memory fragments about people I have met in my life. These fragments have been emerging randomly in my mind, and it’s time for me to find a natural depository for them. Because I want to respect the privacy of everybody and at the same time be able to write truthfully, I will often use aliases when referring to these relatives and friends.

Harm Reduction

After two months in Vancouver I decided to return to use the blog and produce short text about what happen to me and around me. Harm Reduction is the way most committee approach the drug addiction problem in Vancouver Area. I was shock when I discover how deep is the situation of Homeless / Drug addiction and start to read about that. My curiosity is high and I am convinced that I can work to help committees giving time as a volunteer.
