About this site

Indigenous Borderlands and Border Rites is a research project and website presentation meant to draw attention to native nations divided by the border. More than fifty different indigenous peoples straddle the international border between the United States and Canada, but there is a surprising lack of knowledge about these indigenous borderlands inhabitants and the challenges they face due to increasing restrictions on cross border movement. Guided by minaadendamowin, which means ‘respect’ in the Anishinaabe language, this project attempts to break the silence that surrounds the inhabitants of indigenous borderlands.
