Conference Announcement "Creating Nations and Building States: Past and Present" 2010 Annual Meeting American Society for Ethnohistory (ASE) Ottawa, ON (Canada) 13-17 October 2010 __________________________________________________ The theme for the ASE Ottawa 2010 is titled 'Creating Nations and Building States: Past and Present,' focusing on indigenous societies and their relations with expanding colonial and modern state structures of Canada, America, and Latin America. This general theme is intended to initiate discussions on the complex and often fractious relations between Native societies and expanding state structures in the Americas from contact onward. Papers on instances of ethnogenesis, persistence and transformation of identity, culture and social structures over time are especially welcomed. Since the meeting is being held in Canada's capital during the 125th anniversary of the second Metis provisional government and resistance movement at Batoche, we encourage discussions and reflection on alternative models of indigenous nation building, displacement and violence in the interior, and the vast process of native exclusion in the construction of modern states.
