North Caribou Lake Archaeology NORTH CARIBOU LAKE ARCHAEOLOGY: NORTHWESTE~~ ONTARIO NORTH CARIBOU LAKE ARCHAEOLOGY: NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO BY DIANA LYNN GORDON, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Haster of Arts McMaster University July 1983 MASTER OF ARTS (1983) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: North Caribou Lake Archaeology: Northwestern Ontario AUTHOR: Diana Lynn Gordon, B.A. (University of Toronto) SUPERVISOR: Dr. William C. Noble NUMBER OF PAGES: xvii + 286 ii ABSTRACT Field work in the summer of 1981 at North Caribou Lake, at the headwaters of the Severn River drainage, yielded 23 sites. Excavation and testing of ten produced Laurel, Blackduck, late prehistoric, 19th century Fur Trade and 20th century material. To date, this represents the most northerly expression of Laurel and Blackduck cultures in northwestern Ontario. The ethno-archaeological focus of this project, combining archaeological, archival, ethnographic and informant data, allowed for a clear understanding of the native use of the lake over the past one hundred years, including some important determinants of boreal forest settlement patterns. These determinants appear to have remained relatively stable from Middle Woodland times to the present. Observation of modern seasonal patterns of occupation has aided in the interpretation of the culture history of North Caribou Lake. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of organizations and individuals made valuable contributions to this work, and I wish to express my gratitude to them. The Ontario Heritage Foundation provided a generous grant for the field work, and their assistance is gratefully acknowledged. The archival research was funded through a Northern Science and Training Research grant from McMaster University. I extend my gratitude to the Department of Anthropology and McMaster University for allowing me to pursue my research interests at the Master's level. I would like to thank the members of my thesis committee, particularly Dr. William C. Noble who, as my advisor, offered critical guidance and support throughout this research. Dr. Edward S. Rogers kindly shared his expertise on the ethnography and ethnohistory of the area. Dr. Peter G. Ramsden is thanked for his useful comments during the analysis and writing stages. I am indebted to John Switzer for his invaluable work as field assistant, and to Job Halfaday for his contribution as ethnographic informant and excavator. To Patty Halfaday, my thanks for her unfailing enthusiasm as interpreter and field worker. Janet and Caroline Halfa- iv day's additional assistance is also appreciated. My thanks to the other members of the Halfaday family for sharing the summer's experiences with us. Appreciation is extended to Chief Jowin Quequish and the Band Council of Weagamow Lake for their willing­ ness to approve this project. Special consideration goes to councillor David Quequish, who aided in the logistic arrangements. The efforts of pilot Gary Kakakeyash Of the Weagamow Lake Air Corporation are also gratefully acknowledged. I wish to thank archivist Shirlee Ann Smith for permission to use the Hudson's Bay Company Archives, Public Archives of Manitoba. Assistance in locating obscure references was provided by Judith Beattie. In the analysis and report production a number of people made contributions. They include Rosemary Prevec, who analyzed the faunal remains, Marc Lavoie, who identi­ fied many historic and modern items and Juliet Garfit, who did the cataloguing and some artwork. Additional artifact drawings were ably supplied by Linda Jefferson. The reconstruction of pottery vessels was done by George Gee. For help with the photography and editorial comments, I am grateful to John Switzer. Morris Brizinski also made valuable comments on the thesis. Useful information in archaeology, ethnography v and geology was supplied by the following individuals: Dr. J.V. Wright of the Archaeological Survey of Canada; Paddy Reid and Grace Rajnovich, regional archaeologists in Kenora for the Ministry of Culture and Citizenship, Dr. Mary Black Rogers of the Royal Ontario Museum, John Laitin, Department of Geology, University of Guelph and William Fox, regional archaeologist in London. Finally, I would like to thank Mary McKinnon for an excellent job in typing this thesis. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS iv LIST OF TABLES . ix LIST OF FIGURES . xiii LIST OF PLATES . xv CHAPTER·ONE: INTRODUCTION. 1 EnvironInental Background /9:.

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • Historical Representations of Lake Sturgeon by Native and Non-Native Artists
    HISTORICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF LAKE STURGEON BY NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE ARTISTS Christopher Hannibal-Paci First Nations Studies University of Northern British Columbia 3333 University Way Prince George, British Columbia Canada, V2N 4Z9 Abstract I Resume Discussions of landscapes in the earliest accounts of traders in northem Ontario and Manitoba depict a land rich in resources. Native people, who lived in these spaces where the Europeans travelled and settled, saw the world through their own eyes. But what did these groups see? This paper discusses changing representations of lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulves­ cens), noting differences in the stories and images presented by Native and non-Native people. Les discussions sur les paysages du Nord de l'Ontario et du Manitoba retrouvees dans les anciens recits des marchands de I'epoque decrivent un pays riche en ressources naturelles. Les peuples autochtones qui vivaient dans ces grands espaces, visites et colonises par les Europeens, percevaient ce pays bien differemment. Ce texte presente les perceptions changeantes de I'esturgeon des lacs tout en notant les differences entre les images et les contes crees par les autochtones et ceux crees par les blancs.

  • Indian Rock Paintings of the Great Lakes
    — INDIAN ROCK PAINTINGS OF THE GREAT LAKES by Selwyn Dewdney and Kenneth E. Kidd This book describes in word and illustration the results of an exciting quest on the part of its authors to dis- cover and record Indian rock paintings of Northern Ontario and Minnesota. Numerous drawings were made from these pictographs at a hundred dif- ferent sites; the originals range in age from four to five hundred years to a thousand, and were done w'ith the simplest materials: fingers for brushes, fine clay impregnated with ferrous oxide giving the characteristic red paint. Where an overhanging rock protected a vertical face from drip- ping water or on dry, naked rock faces the Indians recorded the forest life with which they lived in intimate association—deer, caribou, rabbit, heron, trout, canoes, animal tracks and also abstractions which puzzle and intrigue the modern viewer. Many of the paintings could only have been done from a canoe or a convenient rock ledge. Selwyn Dewdney travelled many thousands of miles by canoe to make the drawings of the pictographs which illustrate every page of this fascinating and attractive book. He provides also a general analysis of the materials used by the Indians, of their subject- matter and the artistic rendering given to it, and his artist's journal records in detail the sites he visited, the paint- ings he found at each, the com- parisons among them that came to mind, the references to rock paintings in early literature of the Northwest. Kenneth E. Kidd contributes a valuable essay on the anthropological background of the area, linking the rock paintings with early cave art in, for example, France and Spain, de- scribing the life of the Indians in the continued on back flap $4.75 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2014 https://archive.org/details/indianrockpaintiOOdewd Indian Rock Paintings of the Great Lakes The Agawa Site, Lake Superior, Near Devil's Bay, Lake of the Woods INDIAN ROCK PAINTINGS OF THE GREAT LAKES By Selwyn Dewdney and Kenneth E.

  • Friendship Accord
    REPORT MEETING TYPE: Regular Council Meeting TO: Council FROM: Vicki Blanchard, Economic Development Manager DATE: February 15, 2017 SUBJECT: RP-2017-015 - Friendship Accord TITLE: Friendship Accord RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council receives this report as updated information pertaining to the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord. PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to advise Council: 1. THAT the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord continues to be a leader in Municipal Indigenous relations. BACKGROUND: In 2012, the Municipality of Sioux Lookout celebrated the signing of the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord in partnership with their neighbouring First Nation communities of Lac Seul and Slate Falls. In 2013, the members of the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord celebrated again the continued growth of the Accord with the signing of an additional member, Cat Lake First Nation. Page 1 of 17 In 2015, Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (KI) reached out to the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord members inquiring whether they could join the Accord in efforts to build stronger relations with isolated Far North First Nation communities and shortly thereafter, Mishkeegogamang First Nation expressed an interest in joining the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord as well. In 2016, the Sioux Lookout Friendship Accord partners recognized that their efforts as group working together on important social and economic issues has led to other opportunities such as; the First Nations-Municipal Community Economic Development Initiative (CEDI), the Ke-ondaatiziying Regional Conference, the Regional Distribution Centre-Northern Logistics Project; the Burden Reduction Project and as of recent the Shared Territory Protocol and Resource Working Group. DISCUSSION: Increased First Nations participation in the local economy and creating economically sustainable communities through the core sectors of forestry, mining, energy, transportation, health and wellness and tourism is front and centre in the Accord Guiding Principles.

  • Copway and Traill in a Conversation That Never Took Place Daniel Coleman Mcmaster University
    Grappling with Respect: Copway and Traill in a Conversation that Never Took Place Daniel Coleman McMaster University s to ghosts or spirits they appear totally banished from Canada,” Awrote Catharine Parr Traill in what has become one of Canadian litera- ture’s most infamous statements. Here there are no historical associations, no legendary tales of those that come before us. Fancy would starve for lack of marvellous food to keep her alive in the backwoods…. No Druid claims our oaks; and instead of poring with mysteri- ous awe among our curious limestone rocks, that are often singularly grouped together, we refer them to the geologist to exercise his skill in accounting for their appearance; instead of investing them with the solemn characters of ancient temples or heathen altars, we look upon them with the curious eye of natural philosophy alone. (128) This statement from Traill’s The Backwoods of Canada, an epistolary account of traveling to and clearing a farm in the 1830s near what is now Lakefield, Ontario, is an archetypal passage in one of the most reprinted books in the canon of early Canadian literature. This passage is a classic statement by a new arrival of how difficult it will be for an immigrant populace to forge a literature in a new land. The colony’s first English writ- ESC 39.2–3 (June/September 2013): 63–88 ers must start from zero, from scratch, since they do not have access to a pre-existing local tradition.
