    Failed Partnership to Future Partnership: An Examination of Social Impacts Moving from Institutional Failure to Partner with Indigenous Communities to a New Model of Partnership 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 Winnipeg Copyright © November 2018 Erin Yaremko 0 Acknowledgement of Treaty Territory and Positionality I acknowledge that I reside and work on treaty 1 and treaty 5 territory, the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ojibway), Muskeko-ininiwak (Cree), Dakota and Nakota peoples, and the homeland of the Red River Métis Nation. As a settler descendant I acknowledge the continuation of modern colonial barriers First Nations continue to face, and am consciously aware of the white privilege I carry. I commit myself to building reciprocal partnerships and alliances to further the growth of the Indigenous perspective in historical source. I come to this research and work with anticolonial, anti-racist world views and commit myself to furthering my own personal growth and understanding of Indigenous methodology and world views through continual alliance with each Nation I am fortunate to partner with. My early upbringing through inner city volunteer positions and further work in areas of social justice facilitated the growth of my passion for social justice-based research and work in partnership with other cultural groups. Past work in partnership with the Japanese Canadian based project Landscapes of Injustice helped foster my understanding of large social justice- based research projects. Work in partnership with the Japanese Manitoban and Japanese Saskatchewan communities furthered my understanding of colonization in Canada and the trauma caused by western society.

Over one year ago, the NOR-MAN Regional Health Authority Board of Directors appointed the NRHA Community Health Assessment Advisory Committee to complete a comprehensive Community Health Assessment for the region. Building on the work that has been done since the RHA’s inception in 1997 and NRHA’s second comprehensive Community Health Assessment completed in 2004, the goal of the project was to provide a solid base of facts and data to guide future decision-making in the region. Both the Community Health Assessment process and report will assist the NOR-MAN Regional Health Authority’s planning process and form the basis for the development of our NRHA’s 2011 - 2016 Strategic Plan. We hope you find the information useful and we encourage our community partners to use the information for your own planning purposes.

  • Rags to Riches”
    “RAGS TO RICHES” Leo Pettipas Manitoba Archaeological Society At the height of the last Ice Age around 18,000 years ago, all of Manitoba was covered by an ice cap some 1,200 metres thick. The weight of this massive burden pushed the underlying land surface downward, in much the same way that the surface of a cushion will sink when someone sits on it. Eventually, the ice sheet began to melt, and by about 7,500 years ago, it had all but disappeared from Manitoba. At first, the melting was especially rapid around the southern margins of the glacier; the last area to become ice-free was the North country around Hudson Bay. In other words, the southern portions of the province became ice-free first, and more and more of the land was released from the pressure of the ice as its edge melted ever northward and the glacier got smaller and smaller over time. The disappearance of the ice sheet gave rise to a process that scientists refer to as “crustal rebound.” Ever since it became free of its glacial burden, the surface of the earth’s crust in the North has been “rebounding” upward toward its original, pre-glacial elevation – just as the cushion will rise upward to its original height after the person gets up off it. Crustal rebound had a strong influence on the natural and human history of the major lakes and rivers that inherited the region from the now-extinct Lake Agassiz. For example, after that great lake disappeared, the Saskatchewan River flowed into Cedar Lake, just as it does now.

  • 7 Bar L. Hereford Ranch Moose Creek, MB November 22, 1961
    7 Bar L. Hereford Ranch Moose Creek, MB November 22, 1961 I am more or less forced to write a story for our 25 grandchildren who keep me busy answering questions all day long. Riding down the river in the Skippy L, sitting up front on the barge watching the river go by, or just sitting out in the alfalfa fields watching a bunch of calves lying down with a couple of nurse cows looking after them. These kids just keep on asking questions. They are as bad as our own boys and girls for wanting to know about long ago. Why they called that long point Graves Point, who named Shoulder Blade Island, and why they call the lake across the portage Traders’ Lake. Jennie and I are not going away for a trip this winter they way we generally do, so I will start this story. Our ranch house here is very warm and comfortable. Old Henry Campbell, a good Indian that never went to school, has been the ranch manager for many years. I don’t know where he got the name Campbell. Some Hudson Bay clerk long ago might be able to tell us. We have official word from the Hydro Board to vacate here by 1963. The Grand Rapids dam will put six feet of water over all our alfalfa, brome, and clover fields. We have some 1500 acres in tame hay and thousands of acres of lovely pasture fields. Our trading post is three miles away. Moose Creek that runs out of Moose Lake is open all winter, making a good dividing line for our cattle.
