    TABLE OF CONTENTS acknowledgements vii introduction Fidler in Context 1 first journal From York Factory to Buckingham House 43 second journal From Buckingham House to the Rocky Mountains 95 notes to the first journal 151 notes to the second journal 241 sources and references 321 index 351 COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION FIDLER IN CONTEXT In July 1792 Peter Fidler, a young surveyor for the Hudson’s Bay Company, set out from York Factory to the company’s new outpost high on the North Saskatchewan River. 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.

INDEX SAMUEL HEARNE SAMUEL HEARNE “A YANKEE IN CANADA”: I got home this Thursday evening, having spent just one week in Canada and travelled eleven hundred miles. The whole expense of this journey, including two guidebooks and a map, which cost one dollar twelve and a half cents, was twelve dollars seventy five cents. I do not suppose that I have seen all British America; that could not be done by a cheap excursion, unless it were a cheap excursion to the Icy Sea, as seen by Hearne or McKenzie, and then, no doubt, some interesting features would be omitted. I wished to go a little way behind that word Canadense, of which naturalists make such frequent use; and I should like still right well to make a longer excursion on foot through the wilder parts of Canada, which perhaps might be called Iter Canadense.

Dayholos ©Copyright 2007 William Dayholos II Acknowledgments The value of ones existences can always be measured by the support they receive from others. Be it family or not it is still unselfish support for another human being who is asking for help. Thank you Rose Dayholos, Marjory Marciski, Irene Sulik, Grace Single, Janice Abstreiter, and Robert Regnier for your editing help. This book is dedicated to my partner in life. To me a partner is one whom you can share your ideas with, one who can be trusted not to patronize these ideas, one who can differentiate their own truth from yours. A person who has an equal spiritual level and understanding, and encourages only through support of your ideas and not to through expectation. A true partner is one who balances out any weaknesses you have in the same fashion as you do for them. One’s weakness is the other’s strength, together you create a whole, a relationship that is stronger than the individuals themselves. In true fashion my partner has both helped and supported this book’s creation. Without this partner’s help it might have run the risk of being too much “me”! This was never the reason for the book.

They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of magic and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story. Together, they connect Canadians to our roots, to our future and to each other. What we cherish as part of our national identity, we also recognise as part of our national responsibility. All Canadians share the obligation to preserve and protect Canada’s unique cultural and natural heritage. Together, we hold our national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas in trust for the benefit of this and future generations. To achieve this, practical action grounded in long term thinking is needed. These principles form the foundation of this new management plan for Riel House National Historic Site of Canada.

  • River Road to Rivergate Drive Study Recommendations
    MORE PEOPLE BIKING MORE OFTEN River Road to Rivergate Drive Study Recommendations Given the poor lack of north/south connectivity between River Road and the Henteleff Park/South St. Vital Trail corridor, a pathway along the Red River connecting the Minnetonka and Normand Park neigbourhoods would be a positive addition to Winnipeg’s bicycle network. Ultimately, we feel that this pathway could be extended south to Maple Grove Park. Of course, any investment in a pathway connection along the Red River will need to maximize connections to the local and regional bicycle network, and to neighbourhood, community, and regional destinations. We feel that the benefits of this project would be greatly increased by improving walking and cycling connections to St. Amant Centre, Minnetonka School and Park, Greendell Park Community Centre, and Darwin School & Park. Ideally, the planned pathway would also provide a spur giving access across St. Mary’s Road into Dakota Park and the River Park South neighbouhood, but given potential rights of way and their distance from existing traffic signals on St. Mary’s Road, this may not be achievable. Without a signalized crossing of St. Mary’s Road and access through the Okolita Park development into Dakota Park, we feel that the missing connections to St. Amant Cenre, Minnetonka School and Park, and Greendell Park Community Centre should take priority over any connection to St. Mary’s Road.
