    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

    JOURNAL OF NEW BRUNSWICK STUDIES Issue 1 (2010) “I want to know my bloodline”: New Brunswickers and Their Pasts Margaret Conrad, Natalie Dubé, David Northrup, and Keith Owre Abstract New Brunswick is a product of wars fought from 1689 to 1815. During these wars, all of which included battles on North American soil, the social relations among the First Nations, French, and British inhabitants were forged, often in blood. These conflicts became the foundation for mutable but seemingly mutually exclusive identities that are documented in a recent survey of New Brunswickers on how they engage the past in their everyday lives. In this paper, we describe the eighteenth-century context in which many New Brunswick cultural identities were constructed and address the findings of the Canadians and Their Pasts survey in a province where popular engagement with history is complicated by diverse perceptions of the past. « Je veux connaître mes origines. » : les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick et leur passé Résumé Le Nouveau-Brunswick est le produit de guerres ayant eu lieu entre 1689 et 1815. Pendant ces guerres, qui ont toutes eu des batailles en sol nord-américain, des relations sociales se sont tissées entre les Premières nations, les Français et les Britanniques; souvent, ils étaient unis par les liens du sang. Ces conflits sont à la source d’identités mutables, mais qui étaient, en apparence, mutuellement exclusives et qui ont fait l’objet d’une récente enquête qui portait sur les gens du Nouveau-Brunswick et sur la façon qu’ils évoquent le passé au quotidien. Dans cet exposé, nous décrivons le contexte du 18e siècle dans lequel de nombreuses identités culturelles du Nouveau- Brunswick se sont formées et nous nous penchons sur les résultats du sondage portant sur les Canadiens et leur passé et ce, dans une province où l’engagement populaire envers l’histoire se complique par les diverses perceptions du passé.

  • Help Pass Enabling Legislation That Would Give Municipal Governments
    *Action Alert* from the *NBEN Pesticides Caucus* Help pass enabling legislation that would give municipal governments in New Brunswick the authority to pass bylaws banning or reducing the use of cosmetic and non-essential pesticides. Dear concerned citizen, In November 2007, an amendment to the New Brunswick Municipalities Act will be presented to the Legislative Assembly. This amendment would give municipal governments the authority to pass bylaws banning or reducing the use of cosmetic and non-essential pesticides. With the current legislation, municipalities who adopt pesticide bylaws are taking the risk of being challenged in court by the pesticide industry for not having the authority to do so. Four New Brunwick municipalities - Caraquet, Shediac, St. Andrews, and Sackville - have enacted bylaws banning non-essential pesticides, and they have yet to be challenged by the pesticide industry. This amendment to the Municipalities Act is crucial for the complete ban of non-essential pesticides in N.B. Liberal MLA Chris Collins (Moncton-East) is making great efforts to support this bill. In July 2007 his son died at the age of 13 from a type of cancer linked to pesticide exposure. Although we know that the Minister of Health, Michael Murphy, is in favour of the amendment, it remain unclear how many other MLAs will support the amendment. For it to be adopted, a government bill needs to gain the support from the majority of Cabinet (N.B. Ministers), then the majority of Caucus (Liberal MLAs) and then it must gain the majority from the Legislative Assembly (all New Brunswick MLAs). We must lobby all cabinet ministers and all MLAs (regardless political affiliation), in favour of the amendment.

We review the information concerning the interannual variations in inventories of nitrate, chlorophyll a and indices of the spring bloom inferred from satellite ocean colour imagery, as well as the abundance of major taxa of zooplankton collected as part of the 2012 Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP). In general, nitrate inventories in both the upper and lower water-column continue to remain below normal along the northern transects across the Labrador-Newfoundland Shelf and Grand Bank while above average levels are typical of the northwest Gulf of St.

  • The Caraquet Riots of 1875
    GEORGE F. G. STANLEY The Caraquet Riots of 1875 In April 1871, four years after the confederation of the British North American provinces, an education bill was introduced into the legislature of the province of New Brunswick. This measure was, apparently, the work of the attorney- general, the Honourable George Edwin King, a graduate of the Methodist college at Sackville, who represented Saint John county in the legislature. The object of King's bill was to establish a non-sectarian school system supported by public funds. The Roman Catholic minority, very much alive to the question of separate schools after their inclusion in the Manitoba Act in 1870 at the insistence of Louis Riel, pressed upon the provincial government the need for the establishment of a separate school system in New Brunswick. Some twenty- two petitions were sent to Fredericton, and Timothy Anglin's Morning Free­ man in Saint John and Norbert Lussier's Moniteur A cadien in Shediac repeat­ edly demanded equal school rights for the Catholic citizens of the province. The press and public generally, however, supported the principle of non- sectarian schools, and on 5 May the Bill passed the Protestant-dominated Assembly, twenty-five votes to ten, with six abstentions. After a narrow squeak through the Legislative Council, where an amendment proposing that public funds should be made available to all schools was defeated on an even division, the bill became law in May 1871. Not only was the Common Schools Act offensive in principle to the Roman Catholic minority, the detailed regulations adopted under authority of the Act were even more objectionable.

    The Dispossession of the Míkmaq Indians from Chignecto to Elsipogtog1: A Case Study Analysis of the Health Determinants of the Physical Environment by Patrick J. Augustine A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous and Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Patrick J. Augustine 1 The community uses the Pacifique orthography, while the Francis-Smith system spells it L’sipuktuk (Sable & Francis, 2012). Abstract Traditionally, the Míkmaq enjoyed an interconnected relationship with the land, harvesting what they needed from the earth and the ocean, guided by the concept of Netukulimk, the practice of sustainability. Upon the arrival of European settlers, new trade practices were introduced, and what was once plentiful was quickly depleted. Although the original inhabitants were assured that their lands would be protected by agreements and treaties, these assurances proved to be false, and the traditional relationship with the land was threatened, as the Míkmaq—presaging the fate of most Indigenous Peoples in Canada—were dispossessed of their historical lands and forced to live on reserves; many of them far away from the environments to which they had had biological and spiritual ties. Land is central to our understanding of current Indigenous health issues; centering around how the Míkmaq traditionally employed land and resources, what changes in that relationship were brought about by colonization, and how their removal to reserves influenced their relationship vis-à-vis their environment. In addressing the ways that land policies, post-first contact, were developed and implemented over time, it is possible and necessary to juxtapose that history with the story of the forced mobilization of the Míkmaq and examine the effects that the dispossession of land had upon their livelihood and economic activity.
