Blockades have become a common response to Canada's failure to address and resolve
the legitimate claims of First Nations. Blockades or Breakthroughs? debates the importance
and effectiveness of blockades and occupations as political and diplomatic tools for
Aboriginal people. The adoption of direct action tactics like blockades and occupations
is predicated on the idea that something drastic is needed for Aboriginal groups to
break an unfavourable status quo, overcome structural barriers, and achieve their
goals. But are blockades actually "breakthroughs"? What are the objectives of Aboriginal
people and communities who adopt this approach? How can the success of these methods
be measured? This collection offers an in-depth survey of occupations, blockades,
and their legacies, from 1968 to the present. Individual case studies situate specific
blockades and conflicts in historical context, examine each group's reasons for occupation,
and analyze the media labels and frames applied to both Aboriginal and state responses.
Direct action tactics remain a powerful political tool for First Nations in Canada.
The authors of Blockades or Breakthroughs? Argue that blockades and occupations are
instrumental, symbolic, and complex events that demand equally multifaceted responses.
