The impetus for this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, recent decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada, in relation to Aboriginal historical treaties, have demonstrated a shift towards legally recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations. As more First Nations challenge the Federal Government on their fulfillment of treaty obligations, Supreme Court decisions will become more elaborate and exhaustive, providing many Nations with an opportunity to address treaty concerns in a more substantive manner than in the past. Secondly, the Blackfoot are my neighbours and I am very honoured to relay

  • Blood Tribe/Káínai
    Blood Tribe/Káínai – Traditional Knowledge, Land, & Resource Use Source: Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project June 2018 Prepared for the Blood Tribe/Káínai By Dermot O’Connor Oak Road Concepts Inc Introduction The Blood Tribe/Káínai (BT/K) is a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy and is based in Southern Alberta on 557.2 square miles of reserve land bordered by the Old Man River, the St. Mary River, and the Belly River. This reserve of 352,600 acres is the largest in Canada (Dempsey, 1997, 28). The population at present is approximately 12,500 (Blood Tribe, 2018). The traditional Blackfoot territory “extends from the Rocky Mountains to the West; to the Sand Hills to the East; to the North Saskatchewan River in the North, and the Yellowstone in the South” (Blood Tribe, 2018; Crop Eared Wolf, 2007, 1). The Blackfoot Confederacy consists of three tribes of Niitsítapi: the Bloods, the Peigans (both in Alberta and Montana) and the Blackfoot. Of these tribes of Blackfoot, the Bloods refer to themselves as Káínai, the Tribe of Many Chiefs (Dempsey, 1997, 10; Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 11). Some of the sources cited in this document use the terms Bloods, Blood Tribe, Káínai, or Káínai First Nation but for the most part, BT/K is used to refer to the Blood Tribe/Káínai. When Blackfoot history and culture is discussed in this report, it is intended to refer to BT/K ancestors or to the Blackfoot Confederacy as a whole, rather than to any other particular First Nation. Blood Tribe/Káínai – Profile The Blood Tribe/Káínai traces its history through oral traditions, historical research and the archaeological record.

The dissertation traces cultural persistence through the analysis of texts of history and literature that constructed Blackfoot subjectivity in the half-century following the end of traditional lifeways and resettlement on three reserves in Canada and one reservation in the United States of America. This interdisciplinary thesis has been undertaken jointly in the School of History and Philosophy, and the School of English, Media and Performance Studies. It combines the tools of historical research and literary criticism to analyse the discourses and counter-discourses that served to construct Blackfoot subjectivity in colonial texts. It engages with the ways in which the Blackfoot navigated colonisation and resisted forced acculturation while adopting strategies of accommodation to ensure social reproduction and even physical survival in this period.

  • Honorary President the Historical Society of Alberta Continues to Benefit from the Exceptional Work of Dr
    Honorary President The Historical Society of Alberta continues to benefit from the exceptional work of Dr. Hugh Dempsey. He has devoted his life to the preservation of history in this Province and we are fortunate to have him as part of our organization. The Society is most familiar with Dr. Dempsey’s work on the quarterly magazine, now known as ALBERTA HISTORY. He is an author, historian, and researcher. He is the former associate director of the Glenbow Museum, and is currently its chief curator emeritus. Dr. Dempsey holds a number of honours, including the Order of Canada, an honorary doctorate from the University of Calgary, an honorary chieftainship of the Blood tribe, the Sir Frederick Haultain Award for Excellence, an Alberta Non-Fiction Award, and a life membership in the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. He is the author of twenty books on western Canadian history and has edited another seventeen. He has written nine monographs and more than two hundred articles for periodicals, books, and newspapers. He is a well known lecturer and specialist on the history of the Indigenous peoples of western Canada and the early history of Alberta. The Historical Society of Alberta wanted to acknowledge the contribution to Alberta’s history by Dr. Dempsey. We associate Dr. Dempsey with the quarterly magazine. We asked him to provide us with a little background on how he became involved with the Society. The following is his “In the Beginning”: “IN THE BEGINNING In 1953 I was a publicity writer for The title of Alberta Historical Four hundred and fifty copies the Alberta Government when I Review was chosen, seeing itself were printed and despite its was called upon to undertake an as a counterpart to the Canadian shortcoming, it was a huge unusual assignment.

Enmity between these indigenous plains peoples had carried over from hostilities at the end of buffalo days and was perpetuated due to a strong continuity of warrior and equestrian culture in the 1880s, which endured despite efforts of the Canadian Dominion Government to “civilize” their Blackfoot wards through Christianity and agriculture.
