| Summary: | Since the Europeans ' first interaction with the Haida and other Northwest Coast Native people, the fondness for oratory and eloquent discourse has been noted. In this paper, the author focusses on the messages underlying public speeches in a social and political context, asking what are the rhetorical devices used, what is the structure of speeches and how the spoken word is interpreted by the audience. Depuis la première interaction des Européens avec les Haida et les autres autochtones de la côte du nord-ouest, on a constaté la prédilection pour l'oratoire et le discours éloquent. Dans cet article, l'auteur examine les messages que portent les discours publics dans un contexte social et politique, s'interrogeant sur les moyens rhétoriques employés, sur la struc-ture des discours et sur la manière dont le mot est interprété par l'auditoire. |
