Résumé
Cet article examine la ratification vivement contestée d’un traité entre l’État du Canada et la Première nation Nisga’a, communauté autochtone localisée sur la côte ouest de la Colombie-Britannique. Les thèmes de l’analyse sont la forme du débat parlementaire, l’invocation par les membres d’une autorité supposée et le choix de la langue en tant qu’outil stratégique. Le Parlement canadien se compose de deux assemblées, la Chambre des Communes, élue, et le Sénat, dont les membres sont nommés. En analysant le contexte idéologique entourant les débats sur la Loi sur l’Accord définitif Nisga’a, nous avons découvert des différences significatives entre les deux Chambres, dues, en grande partie, aux contextes structurellement différents des deux forums.

Abstract
This paper examines the hotly-contested ratification of a treaty between the state of Canada and the Nisga’a First Nation, an aboriginal community located in the west coast province of British Columbia. The form of Parliamentary debate in the bicameral legislature, the invocation of assumed authority by the members and the choice of language as a strategic tool provide themes in the analysis. The Canadian Parliament is comprised of two Houses, the elected House of Commons and the appointed Senate. In our analysis of the ideological context surrounding the debates on the Nisga’a Final Agreement, we found significant differences between the two Houses, in large part due to the differing structural contexts of the fora.
Key words:
- Philips,
- McDougall,
- parliamentary discourse,
- metanarrative,
- Nisga’a debate,
- British-Columbia
Resumen
Este artículo examina la ratificación fuertemente contestada de un Tratado entre Canadá y la Primera nación Nisga’a, comunidad autóctona localizada en la costa oriental de la Colombia británica. Los temas del análisis son: la forma del debate parlamentario, la invocación de una supuesta autoridad de sus miembros, y la selección de la lengua en tanto que herramienta estratégica. El parlamento canadiense está compuesto por dos asambleas: la Cámara de los Comunes, elegidos. Y el Senado, cuyos miembros son nombrados. Al analizar el contexto ideológico en torno de los debates sobre la Ley sobre el Acuerdo definitivo con los Nisga’a, hemos descubierto diferencias significativas entre las dos Cámaras, debidas en gran parte a los contextos estructuralmente diferentes de los dos foros
Palabras clave:
