  • The Rise and Decline of Hybrid (Metis) Societies on the Frontier of Western Canada and Southern Africa
    THE RISE AND DECLINE OF HYBRID (METIS) SOCIETIES ON THE FRONTIER OF WESTERN CANADA AND SOUTHERN AFRICA ALVIN KIENETZ, P.O. Box 402, The Pas, Manitoba, Canada, R9A 1K5. ABSTRACT/RESUME A comparison of the development of the Metis in Canada and similar peoples in Southern Africa reveals some remarkable similarities between the two groups. The existence of these parallels suggests that a more extensive comparative study of peoples of mixed race throughout the world would be of value. Une comparaison de l'évolution des Métis au Canada et de celle de certains peuples similaires dans le Sud africain révèle des ressemblances frappantes entre les deux groupes. Ce parallèle suggère qu'une étude comparative plus complete des peuples de race mixte dans le monde entier présenterait une valeur incontestable. THE CANADIANJOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES Ill, 1(1983): 3.21 4 ALVIN KIENETZ The comparative study of the "frontier" as a historical-geographical phe- nomenon appears to have, or have had, two main traditions: the first of these, the purpose of which is ultimately practical (i.e. applied geography) is found in the largely pre-World I pioneer settlement studies of Bowman and others (1937). The other tradition involves attempts to apply the "frontier thesis" of Frederick Jackson Turner to other historical settlement frontiers(c.f.Wyman and Kroeber, 1957). What both of these traditions have in common is that they focus almost entirely on the advancing, colonizing culture; the retreating, native groups that are being colonized, or - better - colonialized, 1 are hardly even mentioned. 2 Only relatively recently have scholars begun to give due recognition to the roles and contributions of native or aboriginal societies on the frontier.

  • THE PLACE of the METIS WITHIN the AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY of the RED RIVER DURING the 1840'S and the 1850'S
    THE PLACE OF THE METIS WITHIN THE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY OF THE RED RIVER DURING THE 1840's AND THE 1850's W. LELAND CLARK, Department of History, Brandon University, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada, R7A 6A9. ABSTRACT/RESUME The way of life of the Red River Metis of Manitoba combined farming activities with great summer and fall bison hunts. In general, the Metis were less successful at farming than other settlers in the area. Commentators have explained this phenomenon by suggesting that the Metis were an indolent people, or alterna- tively that farming and hunting could not effectively be carried on simultan- eously. The author concludes from his study that agriculture among the Metis should be viewed as an activity supplementary to the hunt. Le mode de vie des Métis de la rivière Rouge au Manitoba combinait la culture et, en été et en automne, la grande chasse au bison. En général, les Métis ont moins bien réussi en agriculture que les autres habitants de la région. Certains commentateurs ont expliqué ce phénomène en suggérant que l'indolence des Métis était la cause de leur échec, ou encore que la chasse et la culture ne pouv- aient pas être efficacement pratiquées simultanément. L'auteur conclut de son étude que l'agriculture parmi les Metis devrait être considérée comme une activité supplémentaire à celle de la chasse. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES III, 1(1983): 69-84 70 W. LELAND CLARK That the mixed-blood Rupertlanders who resided in the Red River Settle- ment - i.e., both those of Roman Catholic French-Canadian extraction who will hereafter be identified as the Metis and those who were largely of British extraction and who were identified by the census - takers of the 1850's as the Protestant Rupertlanders - were both part-time farmers and buffalo hunters is an accepted fact.
