  • The Iroquois: Voyageurs of the North-West and Oregon Territories
    THE IROQUOIS: VOYAGEURS OF THE NORTH-WEST AND OREGON TERRITORIES by Michael A. Landry B.Sc., Chemistry and Anthropology University of Northern British Columbia, 2002 THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA January 2020 © Michael A. Landry, 2020 ABSTRACT This thesis will posit that the Iroquois migrations into the Northwest and Oregon Territories are misunderstood in their interactions amongst both the Indigenous and frontiersmen. By Iroquois we specifically mean the French-speaking and Catholic Iroquois who settled in New France in Sault St. Louis (1680), Lac des Deux-Montagnes (1717) and in 1755 when the St. Régis Mission was established. After 150 years of acculturation (1650s to 1800s), these Iroquois had become a hybrid culture with a syncretic Catholicism. The Iroquois immigrated to the Saskatchewan River in 1799 to escape ‘improvements of civilization’ in the east and to follow the mode of life of their forefathers. Peter Fidler’s three versions of the Chesterfield House incident, where 14 Iroquois and 2 Canadiens were killed, will be analyzed to provide a new understanding of the role of the Iroquois as central actors in the fur trade rivalries.

  • Primitive American Armor
    UC-NRLF • IpB 5^ 311 jp PRIMITIVE AMERICAN ARMOR By Walter Hough, Ph. D., Department of Ethnology, U. S. National Museum. " Cornelias Tacitus doth pleasantly quip and jest at the men of war of our ancient Gaules, so armed, only to maintaine themselves, as they that have no means either to he offended or to raise them- - selves being overthrowne. ' Montaigne, Of The Parthian Amies. In the IT. S. National Museum there are many examples of primitive American armor. These defensive weapons may be classed as parrying armor, or the shield, and body armor, for the defense of the head, trunk, legs, and arms. The subject will be treated under form, mate- rial, structure, decoration, function, mythology, and distribution. I. Shield. The shield is the first defensive weapon both in point of time and of **- usefulness. While the shield on first thought may seem merely intended as a covering for the vulnerable points of the body, its impor- tance is far greater in parrying. Therefore, with this idea in view, the shield may be as simple as the plain parrying stick of the Australians, which begins the classic series of Lane Fox. Ifc+^t If one bears in mind that defensive weapons are the concomitants of offensive weapons, the development of the shield becomes clear. Thus, where missile weapons are used, the parrying stick is a natural and adequate defense. Where missiles are given greater velocity with the throwing strap, the throwing stick, or the bow, the shield must cover the body better. It would seem that the broad shield is the counter- growth of the bow.

    Thank you to the men and women of the New York Thoroughbred industry, who have pulled together to help our horses, our backstretch community and each other in trying times. We are proud to represent you. Together, we will weather the storm. 2 A HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO OUR PARTNERS Awards Dinner Sponsored By Platinum Partners Gold Partners Chester & Mary Broman Silver Partners Bronze Partner Greenberg Traurig, LLP Industry Partners Adirondack Trust Company • Capital OTB 3 A MESSAGE FROM THE NYTB EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Historically, the New York breeding and racing communities gather every April for NYTB’s New York-Bred Divisional Champions Awards Banquet to celebrate the previous year’s racetrack achievements of the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Racing Program. We present a video program showcasing all the equine nominees, and crown the New York-bred divisional champions one-by-one before announcing the New York-bred Horse of the Year and Broodmare of the Year. We also honor the most successful human program participants of the year. It is always a wonderful celebration. In April 2020, we are all navigating the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 pan- demic. In a situation unlike any other in our collective experience, individuals, busi- nesses, organizations and institutions are striving to keep our horses, employees, families and selves safe and well. Accordingly, in March we decided to cancel our Awards Banquet. We realized this would be a disappointment for the connections of our divisional championship nominees, but it was the right choice. Then, we forged ahead to try to make the best of a difficult situation.
