On this industri- ous Sunday afternoon in January 1999, Diana Whiteduck and I were creating beaded eyeglass cases with animal motifs to be sold at the Toronto First Na- tions Day festival held annually in June. I designed the motifs for a beadwork class that I co-taught at the Native Women’s Resource Center in Toronto with Debbie MacDonald, a beadworker of Cree descent who grew up in Toronto. Diana, an Algonkin whose family roots in Ontario spread from Golden Lake through Mattawa to North Bay, was an especially accomplished beadworker who was well known for high-quality items such as moccasins and pipe bags. As Diana added row upon row of brown beads to fill in a bear paw motif, the conversation turned to her doodem,1 the Bear.

  • Imagining the Cultural Geography of Voyageurs
    ch04.qxd 2/5/08 9:04 AM Page 55 Writing, Ritual, and Folklore: Imagining the Cultural Geography of Voyageurs CAROLYN PODRUCHNY Carolyn Podruchny teaches History at York University. When I was a child in a small town on the prairies, I walked to school every day. By the time I reached Grade 6, I felt as if I could walk to my elementary school blindfolded. I knew every house along the streets, every shortcut through backyards, every crack on the sidewalks. When I started junior high school, my sense of the town was altered. I had to walk in a different direction, learn a new route, new cracks in the sidewalks. My sense of the town changed even more when I began high school, and walked in yet another direction. At 16 I learned to drive, and the world around me grew exponentially. I explored the surrounding countryside on my own, ventured to the city to hang out at the malls, and made day trips to the beach. I loved the wide-open skies, the miles and miles of straight roads framed by telephone wires, the sense that you could see the earth curving away in the distance. During summer vacations, my family took long car trips to British Columbia, the Maritimes, and California, and for the first time I saw oceans, mountains, and deserts. Yet the centre of my life remained my parents’ house, located roughly in the centre of the North American continent. When I moved east to Montreal to attend university, my world shifted, my ground tilted; I felt disoriented.

  • The Ottawa: Traders of the Upper Great Lakes
    THE OTTAWA: TRADERS OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THE OTTAWA: TRADERS OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES 1615-1700 By LEO GILBERT WAISBERG, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September 1977 MASTER OF ARTS (1978) McMaster University (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: The Ottawa, Traders of the Upper Great Lakes AUTHOR: Leo Gilbert Waisberg, B.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Richard J. Preston NUMBER OF PAGES: xxii + 203 ii ABSTRACT The fur trade of the Upper Great Lakes region during the 17th century is examined with the aid of ethnohistorical documents and source materials. Analysis is focused upon the role of the Ottawa, an important collection of native American middlemen, on the French- oriented fur trade. The Ottawa, a loose political federation of Algonkian-speaking peoples, exhibited a rather variable economic adaptation during this era; while territorial or ecological factors are considered in this study, it was concluded that social organizational 1 forms and economic relations were modified, significantly, and continually throughout the 17th century 7 by changing Ottawa perceptions of trade strategies. These perceptions revolved around traditional cultural norms and conventions as well as strictly market considerations such as supply/ demand fluctuations. The trade itself, a melange of European and native customs and orthodoxies, was manipu- lated in various ways to ensure high levels of consumption. In effect, the trade financed an intensification of traditional reciprocity, egalitarianism and factional politics; international relations were also affected, as iii the influx of wealth was used to extend the influence of Ottawa chiefs among other nations, or to engage in the subtleties of baroque power politics with the English and French.

  • Introduction Section
    INTRODUCTION 58 2.5 The Fur Trade along the Ottawa River Through the 17th century, an almost endless stream of men plied the Ottawa River on long and dangerous fur‐gathering expeditions. Their contribution to the fur trade was critical to the survival of New France. The Ottawa River was a route of choice for travel to fur‐harvesting areas, and was considered simply to be an extension of the St. Lawrence. The story of the fur trade along the Ottawa River can and should be told from at least two perspectives: that of the Europeans who crossed the ocean to a foreign land, taking great personal risks in pursuit of adventure and profit, and that of the First Nations Peoples who had been living in the land and using its waterways as trade conduits for several thousand years. The very term “fur trade” only refers to half of this complex relationship. From a European perspective, there was a “fur trade,” since animal (primarily beaver) pelts were the commodity in demand. First Nations groups, on the other hand, were engaged in a trade for needles, thread, clothing, fishing hooks, axes, kettles, steel strike‐a‐lights, glass beads, alcohol, and other goods, mainly utilitarian items of metal (Kennedy 88). A more balanced account of the fur trade10 along the Ottawa River begins with the context in which both trading parties chose to engage in an exchange of goods. 2.5.1 European Demand Change in the Ottawa River region in the 17th and 18th centuries was shaped in large part by European demand for beaver pelts.

  • Pierre-Esprit Radisson, Explorer, Fur Trader (1636-1710) Pierre-Esprit
    Pierre-Esprit Radisson, explorer, fur trader (1636-1710) Pierre-Esprit Radisson was born in France in 1636 or 1640—his exact age is unknown—and he moved to New France (now Quebec) in 1651, following his half-sister to presumed adventure in Trois Rivieres. That same year, while Radisson was out duck hunting, he was captured by an Iroquois band and adopted by them. This experience afforded Radisson a wealth of knowledge about First Nations life, customs, and their intimate knowledge of the geography around them. He learned their language, their way of life, and even joined them in battle when they were warring with other tribes. In 1654 while on a hunting mission, Radisson and a fellow captive Algonquin killed their Iroquois captors and attempted to escape. After being discovered by another hunting party, Radisson was tortured until the Iroquois who initially captured him secured his release. He later fled his Iroquois “family” and escaped to Albany, New York where he served as an interpreter. The reason is unknown, but he sailed to Amsterdam with a Jesuit priest in 1654 and returned to New France late the same year. What he did there is unknown, but when he returned to Trois Rivieres he found that his sister’s husband had died and she had remarried to Médard Chouart des Groseilliers. He lived in New France for the next four years, making one trip back to Iroquois territory near Albany as part of a Jesuit mission that ultimately failed. At 21 years of age, Radisson had already experienced much in the way of adventure and hardship.

Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT THE INFLUENCE OF THE HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY IN THE EXPLORATION AND SETTLEMENT OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF THE NORTH As beaver became scarcer in the east, the quest for Castor Canadensis sent traders into the northern plains. Reluctant explorers, traders looked for easier access and cheaper means of transport. Initially content to wait on the shores of the Bay, HBC was forced to meet their competitors in the natives’ homelands. The Red River Valley was easily accessed from Hudson’s Bay, becoming the center of the fur trade in the northern plains. HBC helped colonize the first permanent settlement west of the Great Lakes in the Red River Valley.
