When we speak of a birthday for a country, we tend to be speaking metaphorically. To call the 150th anniversary of a country's existence a "birthday" humanizes what may seem otherwise remote and inaccessible: namely, politics and history. We want to make what is abstract concrete, and give it a human face, so that we may relate to it. Canada is a country, but Canada is also like a person, is like us. We are told that 150 years is young for a country, though it seems old for a person. Canada can only be considered 150 years old from the perspective of the Canadian state. Ask someone in Italy what year their country was born, and they may give you this answer: 1861. However, they would be referring only to the formation of the contemporary Italian state; it would be foolish to think that the roots of the country– social, cultural, historical– went only that deep. In Canada, we are frequently this foolish. By "we", I mean "we settlers". Unlike Italy, the social, cultural, and historical roots of Canada are different than those which comprise its contemporary state. The Canadian state’s roots are different from those which precede it on the territories it rests upon. As Asch illustrates (2014) its legitimacy to exist is granted only by those Indigenous societies which precede it on those territories, and in that respect Canada has often not lived up to its side of the relationship. As Dene leader and National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations noted Georges Erasmus about Canada's 125th birthday, there is not a "solitary thing we should be celebrating unless we do something different in the future" to make right the relationship with 1 Indigenous peoples (http://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/georges-erasmus-nothing-to- celebrate). The celebration of a birthday is typically a time for reflection over one's life. If Canada is so young as we hear it is, perhaps it has not had time for adequate reflection. I have heard the adage: regret is the convocation of adulthood. Canada’s regrets are numerous: the turning away of Indian people aboard the Komagata Maru in 1914, the internment of Japanese citizens during the Second World War, the infamous "head tax" and associated discriminatory immigration policies toward Chinese

    THE WHIG INTERPRETATION OF THE HISTORY OF RED RIVER By BRIAN MARTIN GALLAGHER B.A., The University of British Columbia, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Department of History) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA September, 1986 ® Brian Martin Gallagher, 1986 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study.

Department of The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date /0 Ot^^Ly E-6 (3/81) ii ABSTRACT The whig interpretation, which can be most simply defined as the idea that past events led in direct and progressive stages to the present, has long been recognized as a basic historiographic fallacy. The fullest expression of the whig interpretation of western Canadian history is to be found in the works of George F.G. Stanley and W.L. Morton. In presenting a narrative reconstruction of the events surrounding Canada's annexation of Red River, these authors primarily attempt to justify Canadian policy as the extension of British civilization.

  • Edmund Morris Among the Saskatchewan Indians and the Fort Qu'appelle Monument
    EDMUND MORRIS AMONG THE SASKATCHEWAN INDIANS AND THE FORT QU'APPELLE MONUMENT By Jean McGill n 1872 the government of Canada appointed Alexander Morris the first Chief Justice of Manitoba. The same year he succeeded A. G. Archibald as Lieu­ I tenant-Governor of Manitoba and the North-West Territories. Archibald had already acted as a commissioner of the federal government in negotiating Treaties Nos. 1 and 2 with the Indians of Manitoba. Morris was com­ missioned in 1873 to carry on negotiations with Indians of the western plains and some Manitoba Indians not present at the first two treaties. By the time Alexander Morris's term of office had expired in 1877 he had negotiated the signing of Treaties No. 3 (North-West Angle), 4 (Fort Qu'Appelle), 5 (Lake Winnipeg), 6 (Forts Carlton and Pitt), and the Revision of Treaties Nos. 1 and 2. Morris later documented the meetings, negotiations, and wording of all of the treaties completed prior to 1900 in a book entitled The Treaties of Canada with the Indians ofManitoba and the North­ west Territories which was published in 1888. He returned to Toronto with his family and later was persuaded to run for office in the Ontario legislature where he represented Toronto for a number of years. Edmund Morris, youngest of a family of eleven, was born two years before the family went to Manitoba. Indian chiefs and headmen in colourful regalia frequently came to call on the Governor and as a child at Government House in Winnipeg, Edmund was exposed to Indian culture for the Indians invariably brought gifts, often for Mrs.

  • An Indian Chief, an English Tourist, a Doctor, a Reverend, and a Member of Ppparliament: the Journeys of Pasqua’S’S’S Pictographs and the Meaning of Treaty Four
    The Journeys of Pasqua’s Pictographs 109 AN INDIAN CHIEF, AN ENGLISH TOURIST, A DOCTOR, A REVEREND, AND A MEMBER OF PPPARLIAMENT: THE JOURNEYS OF PASQUA’S’S’S PICTOGRAPHS AND THE MEANING OF TREATY FOUR Bob Beal 7204 76 Street Edmonton, Alberta Canada, T6C 2J5 [email protected] Abstract / Résumé Indian treaties of western Canada are contentious among historians, First Nations, governments, and courts. The contemporary written docu- mentation about them has come from one side of the treaty process. Historians add information from such disciplines as First Nations Tradi- tional Knowledge and Oral History to draw as complete a picture as possible. Now, we have an additional source of written contemporary information, Chief Pasqua’s recently rediscovered pictographs showing the nature of Treaty Four and its initial implementation. Pasqua’s ac- count, as contextualized here, adds significantly to our knowledge of the western numbered treaty process. The pictographs give voice to Chief Pasqua’s knowledge. Les traités conclus avec les Indiens de l’Ouest canadien demeurent liti- gieux pour les historiens, les Premières nations, les gouvernements et les tribunaux. Les documents contemporains qui discutent des traités ne proviennent que d’une seule vision du processus des traités. Les historiens ajoutent des renseignements provenant de disciplines telles que les connaissances traditionnelles et l’histoire orale des Autochto- nes. Ils bénéficient désormais d’une nouvelle source écrite contempo- raine, les pictogrammes récemment redécouverts du chef Pasqua, qui illustrent la nature du Traité n° 4 et les débuts de son application. Le compte rendu du chef, tel que replacé dans son contexte, est un ajout important à notre connaissance du processus des traités numérotés dans l’Ouest canadien.

  • One Battle at a Time
    One Battle at a Time By: Brianne Fujimoto-Johnston In 1830 on an unknown date by the Belly River, a hero was born. Chief Crowfoot was born in the Blood (Kainai) tribe but grew up with the Blackfoot (Siksika). His parents gave him the name Astoxkomi (Shot Close) at birth. He was given many names over the years until he received the name Isapo-muxica meaning Crow Big Foot which was later shortened to Crowfoot. Only a few months after Crowfoot was born his father Istowun-eh’pata (Packs a Knife) died in a raid on the Crows. Crowfoot’s mother Axkahp-say-pi (Attacked towards Home) was left alone to raise her 2 children; Crowfoot and his younger brother Mexkim- aotani (Iron Shield). A few years later in 1835, Axkahp-say-pi remarried Akay-nehka-simi (Many Names). Before the age of 20, he went to battle 19 times (but unfortunately was injured 6 times). In 1865, he became the chief of the Big Pipes Band. Later in 1870, he became one of the three head chiefs of that tribe. Being the leader he was he made peace with the Cree. He later adopted a Cree named Poundmaker, who became a leader of his own people. During a Cree raid he rescued missionary Sir Albert Lacombe. Crowfoot also had 3 other children who were girls. He lost most of his kids at young ages to smallpox and tuberculosis. He had numerous wives. On September 12, 1877, Colonel Macleod and Lieutenant-Governor David Laird drew up Treaty 7. Crowfoot took a step forward and persuaded other chiefs to sign the Treaty.
