Résumé
Y avait-il une tradition intellectuelle autochtone, au Québec, aux xviiie et xixe siècles? Pour aborder cette question, il faut tenir compte des territoires autochtones sur lesquels le Québec s’est développé et des réseaux internationaux tissés entre les nations autochtones. Prenant comme perspective la péninsule maritime et la région des Grands Lacs, le présent article s’appuie sur les travaux de Robert Warrior et de Gerald Vizenor pour montrer qu’une telle tradition existait bel et bien. Celle-ci est ici mise en lumière par ces exemples : l’établissement d’écoles au sein de communautés autochtones dont les territoires étaient occupés par les colons européens, et les portraits de l’intellectuel wendat Sawantanan et du chef odawa Jean-Baptiste Assiginack.

Abstract
Was there an Indigenous intellectual tradition in Quebec during the eighteenth and nineteenth century? To better understand this question, we must approach the issue with attention to the Indigenous Lands upon which Quebec developed and the international networks in which they lived. Viewed from the perspective of the Maritime Peninsula and the Great Lakes, this article draws on the ideas of Robert Warrior and Gerald Vizenor to show how an intellectual tradition developed here at this time. The article draws on three examples to reveal this culture: the creation of schools in Indigenous communities whose Lands were increasingly occupied by European settlers, and the biographies of the Wendat intellectual Sawantanan and the Odawa chief Jean-Baptiste Assiginack.
