Looking Forward Or Backward: Canadian Stereotypes And Representation Of The Indigenous Concept Of Gender

Abstract

The concept of Sex pertains to the biological divergence as anatomy, character and hormones. The concept of Gender depicts the culturally constructed ideas as role, personal trait and societal place. The concept of gender and sex are two different aspects that are interlinked. Inspite of the predominance of no sex discrimination amidst the ethnic and Indigenous groups of Canada, inequality prevails. This paper investigates the Historiographic reason behind it by focusing on the re-silence and the verve of girls, women and gender conscious people and explores the concept of gender in relation to the Indigenous culture.
