    Labour Relations Among Bourgeois, Clerks and Voyageurs in the Montréal Fur Trade, 1780-1821

    Unfair Masters and Rascally Servants? Labour Relations Among Bourgeois, Clerks and Voyageurs in the Montréal Fur Trade, 1780-1821 Carolyn Pod men ny THE HISTORY OF WORKING PEOPLES in the fur trade has recently become a subject of concentrated interest.1 The publication of Edith Burley's Servants of the Hon­ ourable Country, which explores the master and servant relationship between Orkney workers and Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) officers stands as an important development in focussing attention squarely on the workers themselves, and demonstrates the extent of their power through insubordination and resistance. A Some broader studies of labour and capital in early Canadian history briefly mention fur trade workers, Such as H. Clare Pentland, Labour and Capital in Canada, 1650-1860 (Toronto: James Lorimer & Co. 1981), 30-3; and Bryan D. Palmer, Working-Class Experi­ ence: Rethinking the History of Canadian Labour, 1800-1991 (Toronto: McClelland & Stewart 1992), 35-6. European labourers first received significant examination by Jennifer S.H. Brown, Strangers in Blood: Fur Trade Families in Indian Country (Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press 1980). Native labourers have been subject to some examination by Carol M. Judd, "Native Labour and Social Stratification in the Hudson's Bay Company's Northern Department, 1770-1870," Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology, 17, 4 (November 1980) 305-14. Edith I. Burley, Servants of the Honourable Company: Work, Discipline, and Conflict in the Hudson's Bay Company, 1770-1879 (Toronto, New York and Oxford: Oxford Univer­ sity Press 1997); Philip Goldring first began to compile information on labourers in Papers on the Labour System of the Hudson's Bay Company, 1821-1900, Volume I, Manuscript Report Series, no.

He could write flowing verse and while it might be a trifle over-ripe, it conveyed an impression of the Yukon which no one else has touched or equalled. The Yukon that Service wrote about in the early 1900's had been a century in the making. Canadian coureursde bois had assumed there was land west of the Mackenzie watershed and the Indians knew for certain that there was one more great river before the western sea. By 1840 the outline of the Yukon's coast and boundary mountains was appearing on maps. Franklin had explored the Beaufort Sea and the Russians had poked into the interior of their American possessions far enough to know that there was a vast hinterland between them and the Hudson's Bay Company. But the Russians preferred a bibulous life in their damp settlements on the coast and there was no royal route into the Yukon's watershed for the Canadian fur brigades. The map makers had to pause and the Yukon became the last blank spot on the map of north America. It took a determined and single minded man to breach this final barrier.

    Grand Portage. This Meeting Formed the Final Session =Of the Tenth State Historical Convention

    GRAND PORTAGE 1 I have not words to tell you how deeply I appreciate the honor you have conferred upon me in asking me to speak to you on this historic occasion. I am sure I express the feelings of every Canadian here today when I say that we deem it a privilege to be permitted to join with you in commemorating the two-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of Grand Por­ tage and of all that grew out of that discovery. For it must not be forgotten that when La Verendrye landed on these shores two centuries ago and sent his nephew and his son forward to Rainy Lake, he set in motion forces, that have profoundly in­ fluenced these two neighboring countries. In the years that followed he and his gallant sons made their way into the West, to the Lake of the Woods, Lake Winnipeg, Red River, the Assiniboine, the Missouri, and the Saskatchewan, blazing a path to those vast interior plains of North America that today help so materially to feed the nations of the world. Inciden­ tally it is an odd fact that the first attempt by white men to raise grain west of the Great Lakes was made nearly two hundred years ago; the farmer was La Verendrye, and the place that curiously isolated bit of Minnesota on the west side of the Lake of the Woods. But I am to talk to you about Grand Portage, and if I hesitate to embark upon that subject, and if you find what I have to say to you this afternoon neither informative nor di­ verting, please bear in mind that Dr.

    Coldwater Indian Band: Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study

    Hearing Order OH-001-2014 Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Application for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project Coldwater Indian Band: Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study Submitted to Coldwater Indian Band 26 May 2015 Prepared by Inglis Consulting Coldwater Indian Band: Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study Executive Summary The Coldwater Indian Band commissioned this Report, Preliminary Ethnographic and Historic Overview and Traditional Use Study, for submission to the National Energy Board pursuant to Hearing Order OH-001-2014 as part of their response to the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project. This Report is preliminary and should not be considered as definitive nor as representing all the information on the occupation and traditional uses of the Nicola Valley region, including the tributary valleys, by the Coldwater Indian Band or their ancestors. Further research would undoubtedly uncover more information, and further analysis would lead to enhanced interpretations. The following conclusions and opinions relating to Coldwater Nlaka’pamux history, use and occupation of the Nicola Valley region and Nlaka’pamux territory are made from the research to date: The Coldwater are identified in the anthropological literature and in the Indian Affairs records as a division of the Nicola branch of the Nlka’pamux (Thompson). The territory of the Nicola Thompson is centred on the Nicola Valley and the surrounding tributary valleys. The earliest known inhabitants of the eastern end of Nicola Valley and the upper Similkameen River were a group identified by anthropologists as the Nicola Athapaskans. There is some evidence that they may be descended from Chilcotins who settled in the area prior to contact with whites.

    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.
