  • Networking Anglican Settler Colonialism at the Shingwauk Home, Huron College, and Western University
    22 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES “My Own Old English Friends”: Networking Anglican Settler Colonialism at the Shingwauk Home, Huron College, and Western University Natalie Cross Carleton University Thomas Peace Huron University College ABSTRACT Focusing on Huron College, Shingwauk Residential School, and Western University, this article considers how common social and financial networks were instrumental in each in- stitution’s beginnings. Across the Atlantic, these schools facilitated the development of net- works that brought together settlers, the British, and a handful of Indigenous individuals for the purposes of building a new society on Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe Land. Looking specifically at the activities of Huron’s principal, Isaac Hellmuth, and Shingwauk’s principal, Rev. Edward F. Wilson, the article demonstrates how ideas about empire, Christian benevo- lence, and resettlement entwined themselves in the institutions these men created. Specifically, Anglican fundraising in both Canada and England reinforced the importance of financial networks, but also drew upon and crafted an Indigenous presence within these processes. Analyzing the people, places, and ideologies that connected Huron, Western, and Shingwauk demonstrates how residential schools and post-secondary education were ideologically — and financially — part of a similar, if not common, project. As such, the article provides a starting point for considering how divergent colonial systems of schooling were intertwined to serve the developing settler-colonial project in late nineteenth-century Ontario. RÉSUMÉ En se concentrant sur le Collège universitaire Huron, le pensionnat Shingwauk et l’Université Western, cet article examine le rôle-clé que les réseaux sociaux et financiers communs ont joué aux origines de chacune de ces institutions.

DRAPER, M.A. A Dissertation Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © ,Copyright by Kenneth L. Draper, January 2000 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2000) MCMASTER UNIVERSITY (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Religion Worthy ofa Free People AUTHOR: Kenneth L. Draper, B.A. (Queen's University), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Michael Gauvreau NUMBER OF PAGES: x,357 ii McMASTER UNIVERSITY LlBRARV ABSTRACT Employing the concept of "governmentality" developed by French poststructuralist Michel Foucault. this study investigates religious practices in congregatiohallife and in _ interdenominational associations as well as the religious discourse of the local clergy and newspaper editors. It works at the local level to place religion in the public and private spaces of late nineteenth-century London Ontario. Methodologically it departs from many important local studies of religIon in society by adopting a cultural rather than demographic approach. This approach allows attention to the diversities and ambiguities of religious practices and discourses as the churches negotiated their place in liberal society. The argument suggests that religion was called upon to produce self-governing citizens to ensure the efficiency of the liberal society corning into being in London. The arts of government this liberal society required centred on disciplines of freedom which religion could provide to the degree it conformed to the liberal imperatives of rationality, universality, and harmony across traditional sectional divides.
