Après avoir été longtemps des acteurs négligés, ou plus exactement des acteurs dépendants ou discrédités, les familles et les proches sont l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt, d’un renouvellement du regard porté sur leurs compétences et réalisations, d’une appréciation moins péjorative de leurs contributions. L’objectif de cet article est de rappeler à grands traits cette évolution, de situer l’importance de la production de santé dans la famille, d’interroger sa prise en charge par les hommes et les femmes.

From Ellen Gabriel to Tantoo Cardinal, many of the faces of Aboriginal people in the media today are women. In the Days of Our Grandmothers is a collection of essays detailing how Aboriginal women have found their voice in Canadian society over the past three centuries. Collected in one volume for the first time, these essays critically situate Aboriginal women in the fur trade, missions, labour and the economy, the law, sexuality, and the politics of representation.

In this article I explore marriage as a strategy of family migration among a transnational community of middle-class Jat Sikhs. Family reunification and status aspirations are examined as central concerns of the transnational movement of Jat Sikhs from India to Canada. It is argued that Jat Sikh transnationalism and gender are mutually-constitutive: migration strategies can construct women, as well as men, as agents of marital citizenship, and in facilitating migration, transnational marriage may transform practices and notions of gender and status. The article is based on preliminary ethnographic research among Jat Sikh brides in Toronto and Vancouver, and forms part of a larger study of gender, modernity and identity in Indo-Canadian Jat Sikh marriages.
