English

Analyzing the resistance to Christianity by the Anishinaabeg of the North American Great Lakes region in the 19th and 20th centuries, the author brings to light four ideal-typical Amerindian types of figures. These figures reveal four different strategies aimed at both the cognitive management of religious belonging and ideological positioning in relation to an Amerindian lifestyle. In doing so, the author sheds light on the limits of this model and the need to interpret it diachronically. This basically empirical synthesis reveals three different sorts of implementations of a religious bricolage in a context of symbolic mutations and profound identities.

Analysant la résistance au christianisme des Anishinaabeg de la région des grands lacs nord-américains, aux 19ème et 20ème siècles, l'auteur fait émerger quatre types de figures amérindiennes idéales-typiques. Ces figures traduisent quatre stratégies différentes visant à la fois la gestion cognitive des appartenances religieuses et le positionnement idéologique par rapport au mode de vie amérindien. Ce faisant, l'auteur met en lumière les limites de ce modèle et son impérative lecture diachronique. De cette synthèse à base empirique se révè- lent trois modalités différentes de mise en oeuvre d'un bricolage religieux dans un contexte de mutations symboliques et identitaires profondes.
