Grounded Authority: The Algonquins of Barriere Lake against the State is a 2017 academic monograph by Shiri Pasternak, published by the University of Minnesota Press in the Indigenous Americas series. The book examines the political and legal struggle of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake in western Quebec, with particular attention to their rejection of Canadian federal land claims policy and their assertion of jurisdiction over traditional territory. Positioned at the intersection of Indigenous studies, political geography, legal anthropology, and settler colonial analysis, it asks how Indigenous authority is maintained when state law seeks to define land, governance, and recognition on colonial terms. Pasternak draws on long engagement with the community, ethnographic observation, and legal-political analysis to show that the conflict is not only about resources or administration. It is about competing legal orders, land-based obligations, and the continuing effort of the Canadian state to contain Indigenous governance within frameworks that facilitate dispossession.
