“…The translator needs to draw on many resources to present such a universe convincingly." 9 This essay explores the challenges and the promise offered by the task of translation between Euroamerican and Native cosmologies, ontologies, and worldviews. It traces how insufficient hospitality toward Native cultures and a failure to examine the cosmological presuppositions of the white, Western, secular academy have resulted in the obfuscation or denigration of Native ways of being and knowing.…”

Much of the time, academics consider questions about spirits, dreams, or the personhood of animals, but go to great lengths to state that it “doesn’t matter” whether these stories are “true” or not; only that they are accurate representations of “what people believe.” This essay explores the challenges and promise offered by taking truth seriously through the discussion of translation between Euroamerican and Native cosmologies, ontologies, and worldviews, primarily by using the tool of cosmological interrogation , which proposes multiple, self-reflexive inquiries into incommensurate classificatory systems, charter myths and truth claims. Furthermore, as insufficient hospitality toward indigenous cultures has resulted in the obfuscation and denigration of other ways of knowing as non-scientific, supernatural, animist, ill-informed, or fictional, this essay calls for a reevaluation of hospitality in light of the decolonial project, and a reconsideration of indigenous metaphysics, conceptions of personhood, relational thinking, and intuitive ways of knowing and being.

Les enjeux de la traduction d’ouvrages de sciences sociales sur les Autochtones au Québec

Cet article porte sur les enjeux traductologiques qui se sont posés lors de l’exercice de traduction du texte de Toby Morantz sur les Cris de la Baie-James, paru en 2002 chez McGill-Queen’s University Press. Les défis auxquels la traductrice a été confrontée l’ont amenée à se questionner de façon plus large sur les enjeux associés à la traduction et à la publication d’ouvrages anthropologiques portant sur les Autochtones au Québec. Dans un premier temps, cet article tente d’identifier certains éléments contextuels, notamment le contexte éditorial, qui permettraient d’expliquer la faible quantité de traductions d’ouvrages portant sur les Premières Nations et mettant en perspective le capital symbolique relatif des différents acteurs concernés par ce genre de publications ainsi que par ce sujet d’étude. Dans un deuxième temps, l’article aborde les enjeux associés à la traduction en soi d’une oeuvre anthropologique en cette ère postcoloniale. Est-il possible et souhaitable, pour les anthropologues eurocanadiens dont fait partie l’auteure de cet article, de participer à la « décolonisation » de l’histoire au moyen de la traduction d’un texte ethnohistorique, dans le contexte éditorial actuel au Québec ?
