Lethbridge, AB T1J 1P7 328-9011 Fax 329-1517 Preserving the Past & the Present for the Future PREFACE Author J.G. MacGregor called him Canada's Forgotten Surveyor. When I went to school I never heard a word about Peter Fidler. I doubt that much is said even now. My hope is, this is all going to change. One thing I did learn in school was that Jim Cousins knew how to make history come alive. Well into my teaching career, I discovered a series of audio tapes from a lecture series Jim gave in the early 1970's and I was again captivated by his enthusiasm. Over the years I have listened to the tapes many times and it was only a matter of time before I was drawn to search out the journal that Jim quoted with such delight. And what a gem it is. Fidler was the first person to explore and write about Southern Alberta. In this journal you will see the first reference ever to our cactus, our coal and our Chinook winds, Trained as a surveyor by the Hudson's Bay Company, he charted the rivers, lakes and mountains and sent the information to the great mapmakers of Europe where it was used in atlases around the world. 1992-93 will be the 200th anniversary of Fidler's historic journey into Southern Alberta. He was the only Alberta explorer to traverse much of the province and by the end of the bicentennial I hope there will be a marked Peter Fidler Trail similar to the Red Coat Trail that commemorates the route taken by the Mounted Police in 1874. Such projects do much to encourage interest in our heritage. The Fidler Trail would pass close to many of Alberta's major cultural attractions — Fort George-Buckingham House where Fidler started his historic journey, the Reynold's Museum, the proposed Turner Valley Complex, the Tyrrell Museum and down into Oldman River Dam - Frank Slide - Remington Museum country. Head- Smashed-In would be a natural tie-in as Fidler's is the only eye-witness account of a working buffalo jump. As for the journal itself, it is largely untouched so as to give the flavour of the language of the period. I have though, introduced my own titles as found in the Table of Contents to help the reader find items of interest. It is very possible errors have crept in and I welcome any new insight the reader can offer for the next printing. And yes, if you are wondering if it would be possible to get copies of the Cousins's tapes that inspired this whole project, I can provide those as well.

When I discovered Peter Fidler's Journal in the Ottawa Archives, I was delighted. Another Alberta historian, Hugh Dempsey had not only found it, but copied it. Courtesy of Hugh, I was able to read the journal with care and attention. Then I realized that this was our country and our people as they lived two centuries ago. Fidler did not write as a superior observer but as a friend among people he respected. Thus we get touches, such as boys and old men hiding behind piles of brush or buffalo chips to jump up and keep the buffalo running. It's all there - and I'm delighted that my history pal Bruce Haig has decided to publish the journal. If you are like me - you will love it too, because even our wind is there to blow over a tent or two. Wm.

He spent the winter of 1792‐93 with a group of Piikani hunting buffalo in the foothills SW of Calgary. These were remarkable journeys. The river brigade travelled more than 2000 km in 80 days, hauling heavy loads, moving upstream almost all the way. With the Piikani, Fidler witnessed hunts at sites that archaeologists have since studied intensively. On both trips his assignment was to map the fur-trade route from Hudson Bay to the Rocky Mountains. Fidler kept two journals, one for the river trip and one for his circuit with the Piikani. The freshness and immediacy of these journals are a great part of their appeal. They are filled with descriptions of regional landscapes, hunting and trading, Native and fur-trade cultures, all of them reflecting a young man’s sense of adventure as he crossed the continent. But there is noth- ing naive or spontaneous about these remarks. The journals are transcripts of his route survey, the first stages of a map to be sent to the company’s head office in London.

    RESEARCH MffiKFlM DE RECHERCHES NATIONAL HISTORIC PARKS DIRECTION DES PARCS AND ET DES SITES BRANCH LIEUX HISTORIQUES NATIONAUX No. 45 February 1977 Fire in the Beaver Hills Introduction Before proceeding with an historical investigation of fire and its possible historical impact upon the Beaver Hills landscape, it is necessary to outline the approach to this subject. First of all, there is a considerable body of literature by geographers, biologists and other scholars who have studied fire in relation to the grasslands and savannas of the world. *• Nevertheless, some important ques­ tions remain. What effects have fire had on vegetation, flora, and other aspects of landscape, including man him­ self? What relationships have existed between fires, climate and man? Very little relevant research on such questions has been undertaken utilizing the extensive historical literature on the northern plains of Western Canada and the American West.2 The only scholarly study for the pre-1870 period is a survey of the causes and effects of fire on the northern grasslands of Canada and the United States written by J.G. Nelson and R.E. England.3 It pro­ vides a broad overview of the impact of fire upon the prairie landscape. For an assessment of the impact of fire in the Beaver Hills area the early writings of the agents of the fur trade in the Hudson's Bay Company archives must be examined. There were several fur trading posts established within a hundred-mile radius of the Beaver Hills area after 1790. Unfortunately, few records relating to the North West Company's operations have survived.^ For information on posts such as Fort Augustus, built at the mouth of the Sturgeon river in 1795, the historian depends primarily upon references made by servants of the Hudson's Bay Company.

  • Notes on Metis Culture and History Lawrence J. Barkwell
    Notes on Metis Culture and History Lawrence J. Barkwell Revised January 2015 Preface The history of Metis National identity spans over 300 years. Metis culture is an oral culture, the Michif library is the stories and recollections of our Elders. The Metis hunters of the plains were also a horse culture like the Dakota and Nakota. In our schools and universities the mainstream version of Metis history is taught. The Metis oral history versions are not taught. Until very recently there were no text books dedicated to Metis culture. Therefore we have produced two resource books. • Barkwell, Lawrence J., Leah Dorion and Darren R. Préfontaine. Metis Legacy: A Metis Historiography and Annotated Bibliography. Saskatoon, Gabriel Dumont Institute; Winnipeg: Pemmican Publications and Louis Riel Institute, 2001. • Barkwell, Lawrence J., Leah M. Dorion and Audreen Hourie. Metis Legacy, Volume Two: Michif Culture, Heritage and Folkways. Saskatoon, Gabriel Dumont Institute, Winnipeg: Pemmican Publications, 2007. To this day there is only one University level set of courses teaching the Michif language The apex of Metis statesmanship and governance was achieved July 24, 1870 when the Legislative Assembly of Assiniboia voted to join Canada. Manitoba is the only province brought into Confederation by Aboriginal people—the Metis. The Metis were a people with their own Bill of Rights, their own flag, their own anthem and their own language long before Canada was a nation. • A nation with its own Bill of Rights (1849) In 1849, Alexander Isbister presented the first list of Metis rights to the Colonial Office in London. In 1869 Riel presented a list of rights to Canada.

  • From Historical Records to Life Experiences. the Case of Peter Fidler Dani Nowosad
    Crossings (Number 2) 144 Rethinking the Foundations of Canada: from Historical Records to Life Experiences. The Case of Peter Fidler Dani Nowosad Inception This paper was originally written for Dr. Matt Dyce’s human geography course, Canada's Physical & Human Environment, in the winter of 2017. The assignment was to create a project focussing on any of the four themes explored during the course: power, identity, place, and nature. Abstract This paper analyzes personal and professional relationships among Métis people in Manitoba. It does so by positioning two stories alongside one another. The first concerns the author’s own experience, where the confirmation of Métis status relies upon the physical historical accounting of ancestral relationship to Indigenous bloodlines. The second concerns the author’s ancestor, Peter Fidler. Fidler documented much of the unexplored land west of Hudson Bay, and notably wintered with the Chipewyan tribe of Northern Saskatchewan (Allan 1987). He transcribed and incorporated traditional Indigenous mapmaking techniques into his works (Beattie 1985), which set him apart from other colonial surveyors. Fidler married a Swampy Cree woman named Mary and they raised a family of fourteen together. This paper argues that, while uneven geographical and historical relationships persist to the present day, Fidler’s work in negotiating identity and place at the Crossings (Number 2) 145 intersection of Cree and European cultures in Canada remain crucial points of understanding. Researching the foundations on which the nation of Canada was built requires asking very broad questions about power and territory. If these themes are applied to the interior region of the continent, inevitably the function Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) as a colonizing power is brought into question.

INTRODUCTION Page i INTRODUCTION When designing an HVACR system, it is of paramount importance to use the correct outdoor climate data (outdoor design conditions) for the locality in which the building receiving the new system is located. This data is used when calculating the building component heating load and component cooling load, which in turn are used to determine the required cubic feet per minute (CFM) for each room, design the appropriate duct work, and select the optimal equipment for the application.
