加拿大原住民冰球中的共同体意蕴

The Community Implications of Aboriginal Peoples’Hockey in Canada

加拿大建国初期,民族主义者通过文化盗用与民族想象完成了身份认同。然而,加拿大“想象的共同体”却无限遮蔽了原住民投注于冰球的精神与文化内涵。作为一种起源于原住民社会的普通运动,原住民冰球彰显出鲜明的共同体特质:作为一种沟通神灵与祖灵的神圣仪式,原住民冰球不仅负载了深厚的民族情感和民族气质,而且也发挥着抵御殖民征服和集体疗愈的现实功能。还原原住民冰球的共同体意蕴,不仅是检视加拿大殖民历史与殖民统治的重要途径,也为发展多元文化和构建人类命运共同体打开了一个全新视角。

At the beginning of the founding of Canada,nationalists promoted Canadian hockey to be the status of national symbol and myth by cultural appropriation and national imagination.While Canada successfully accomplished its“national imagination”,the spiritual and cultural significance committed to hockey by aboriginal peoples had been seriously distorted.From the perspective of aboriginal peoples in North America,the game serves as a sacred ceremony of respecting gods and ancestors,but aboriginal peoples’hockey,filled with profound national emotion and resistance to colonial conquest,is closer to reality,all of which reveal its community implication.Restoring the community meaning of aboriginal peoples’hockey is not only a way to examine Canada’s colonial history and colonial rules,but also opens a new perspective for the development of multi-cultures and the construction of a community of shared future for mankind.
