  • “Indianness” and the Fur Trade: Representations of Aboriginal People in Two Canadian Museums
    “INDIANNESS” AND THE FUR TRADE: REPRESENTATIONS OF ABORIGINAL PEOPLE IN TWO CANADIAN MUSEUMS BY MALLORY ALLYSON RICHARD A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of History University of Manitoba / University of Winnipeg Winnipeg Copyright © 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Mallory Allyson Richard ii ABSTRACT Museum representations of Aboriginal people have a significant influence over the extent to which Aboriginal presence in and contributions to Canadian history form part of the national public memory. These representations determine, for example, Canadians‟ awareness and acknowledgment of the roles Aboriginal people played in the Canadian fur trade. As the industry expanded its reach west to the Pacific and north to the Arctic, Aboriginal people acted as allies, guides, provisioners, customers, friends and family to European and Canadian traders. The meaningful inclusion of Aboriginal experiences in and perspectives on the fur trade in museums‟ historical narratives is, however, relatively recent. Historically, representations of Aboriginal people reflected the stereotypes and assumptions of the dominant culture. These portrayals began to change as protest, debate and the creation of The Task Force on Museums and First Peoples took off in the late 1980s, leading to the recognition of the need for Aboriginal involvement in museum activities and exhibitions. This project examines whether these changes to the relationships between museums and Aboriginal people are visible in the exhibits and narratives that shape public memory. It focuses on references to the fur trade found in the Canadian Museum of Civilization‟s First Peoples Hall and Canada Hall and throughout the Manitoba Museum, using visitor studies, learning theory and an internal evaluation of the Canada Hall to determine how and what visitors learn in these settings.

  • Written Submission to Special Senate Committee on the Arctic by Stephen Borys, Phd, MBA, Director & CEO, Winnipeg Art Gallery November 2018
    Written submission to Special Senate Committee on the Arctic by Stephen Borys, PhD, MBA, Director & CEO, Winnipeg Art Gallery November 2018 The Inuit Art Centre project at the Winnipeg Art Gallery As we build the new Inuit Art Centre at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, I am constantly thinking about – and rethinking – the idea of the museum; not just what it looks like, but how it functions, communicates, and what and who it stands for today. The Winnipeg Art Gallery houses the world’s largest collection of contemporary Inuit art with close to 14,000 carvings, drawings, prints, textiles, and new media. In addition, the Government of Nunavut has placed on long-term loan their entire fine art collection comprising almost 8,000 works. The WAG began collecting Inuit art in the 1950s when this art form was largely unknown in Canada’s south. Supported by an unparalleled record of exhibitions, publications, research, and outreach, this collection represents Inuit identity, culture, and history – and it lies at the heart of the Inuit Art Centre journey. To celebrate the art and to honour the people who have created these Inuit works, the WAG is building an Inuit Art Centre, the first of its kind in the world. This new 40,000 square foot structure, adjacent and connected to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, will be a centre for exhibitions and programs, research and learning, studio practice and artmaking. It will be a bridge, enabling peoples from the North and South to meet, learn, and work together. It will be a gathering place— a community hub for exploration and advancement—with the art serving as a lens on Canada’s Arctic.

  • 153 Lombard Avenue Grain Exchange Building Annex
    153 LOMBARD AVENUE GRAIN EXCHANGE BUILDING ANNEX City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings Committee March 2007 153 LOMBARD AVENUE – GRAIN EXCHANGE BUILDING ANNEX By the mid-1880s, it was evident that wheat would soon become the West’s most important commodity. Early shipments of raw grain and processed flour had been well received by both domestic and export buyers. The Canadian Pacific Railway was in place to move wheat to market, and production was growing as more homesteaders adapted to the rich prairie soil. To capitalize on the potential trade, several local businessmen organized the Winnipeg Grain and Produce Exchange in 1887. Executives such as Daniel McMillan, Nicholas Bawlf, George Galt and Rodmond Roblin initially oversaw the operation of an open cash market for wheat. The Exchange soon developed into one of the world's principal grain markets – the only organization of its type in Canada and, within North America, second only to Chicago in importance. Its scope expanded in 1904 into futures trading in wheat, oats and flaxseed, then in the 1910s to futures markets for barley and rye. The Exchange was located in the Market Square area – first in the basement of City Hall, then in buildings on Princess Street. When the latter facilities were quickly outgrown, the traders opted to construct larger premises at the northeast corner of Lombard Avenue and Rorie Street in 1906-07. Through the construction of additional floors and extensions (see Plate 1), the building became an 11-storey office building that was, at one time, the largest of its type in the British Commonwealth, fronting an entire block on Rorie Street and creating a commanding presence in the area (Plates 2 and 3).

  • Realigning Elections in Manitoba
    Realigning Elections in Manitoba A conference paper prepared for the Manitoba Politics & Government into the 21st Century Conference, St. John’s College, University of Manitoba November 20-22, 2008 Christopher Adams, Ph.D. Updated October 21, 2008 [Christopher Adams is a Senior Research Director at Probe Research and an Adjunct Professor in Political Studies at the University of Winnipeg and at the I.H. Asper School of Business (University of Manitoba). He welcomes comments: [email protected] or [email protected]] Realigning Elections in Manitoba Introduction In his 1955 Journal of Politics article regarding the study of American presidential elections, V.O. Key described a specific type of electoral event which he titled a “critical election”.1 A critical election marks the fact that a “realignment, both sharp and durable” is occurring within the electorate.2 While such elections are located at a specific point in time, these events are also part of “a stream of connected antecedent and subsequent behavior.” To demonstrate this, Key revealed how shifts to the Democrats could already be discerned in 1928, four years prior to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1932 presidential victory and the beginning of a new political era which lasted until Eisenhower’s Republican Party victory in 1952. As such, identifying electoral realignments and critical elections is essentially an historical enterprise. It is only after watching a series of electoral outcomes that one is able to label with confidence the triggering event as a “critical” realigning election, and not simply a temporary shift in partisan support. Of course, there are many types of elections and, building on the work of V.O.
