"Neotribal Rentierism and “Truth and Reconciliation”
Although the current characterization of the residential schools as a form of “cultural genocide”
is portrayed as being linked to a more accurate and sympathetic historical understanding of
aboriginal-non-aboriginal relations,35 this view fails to recognize how it is connected to neotribal
rentierism. Neotribal rentierism, as has been discussed in more detail elsewhere,36 has resulted
from aboriginal groups being transformed by capitalism; it is where the increasing productivity
brought by the capitalist mode of production has resulted in egalitarian native kinship groups
becoming increasingly stratified into what Elizabeth Rata has called a “neotribe” – a new kind of
political organization that gives certain members of aboriginal communities privileged access to
legally created tribal resources."
