merica Plans for Tartan Day Announced Tartan Day planning starts earlier each year. Since last September, there has been a A flurry of activity in getting ready for Tartan Day 2006. Since the year 2006 is the 230th anniversary of the country’s founding, even more emphasis is being placed on the significance of the date. The popularity of David McCullough’s book, 1776, gives further evidence of that recognition. Robert Murdoch, national chairman of Tartan Day, said the annual Tartan Day award will be presented at the Eleventh Annual Scottish Symposium during Tartan Week in Washington, D.C. Because of work schedules, most organizations around the country celebrate Tartan Day events during the entire period (April 1-10), rather than just on April 6th. Robert Currie has announced The Clan Currie will again highlight the Ellis Island Im- migration Law Museum in Washington, D.C. The New York City Tartan Day Parade will

take place on Saturday, April 8. In Louisiana, despite the ravages of the hurricane, Mon- ton/e in ton/e roe Stewart of Monroe, LA, reports the Scottish Society of Schreveport will be having a

S Scottish Festival at the farm of Dr. Alan Cameron. And there will be the annual Kirkin’ Service at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Monroe. On the small island of Martha’s Vineyard, seven miles off the coast of Massachusetts, there will be an exhibit at the Vine- yard Haven Library of famous Scots such as James Naismith, the inventor of the game of basketball, John Logie Baird, the inventor of television, Juliette Gordon Low, the founder ohn of the Girl Scouts of America, and others. The celebration of Tartan Day provides an umbrella for all persons with Scottish inter-

J ests to come together and honor their heritage. There are jobs for all: handing out literature at shopping malls, post offices and other traffic-heavy locations; preparing news re- leases for the media; arranging for proclmations from governors; rounding up dance groups and pipe bands for special performances. Although some prefer a simple observance, such as a backyard barbecue or a Scottish tea, others are more elaborate. This year, one of the more spectacular events will be the lan lan celebration planned by the Minnesota Tartan Day Cooperative, chaired by Dana Drazan of Minneapolis. The list of events includes a Grand March at the State Capital with the

Duluth Scottish Heritage Pipes and Drums and the Duluth Scottish Heritage Highland C Vol.26 Dancers.(Continued on page 5) No.1 Quarterly Newsletter of Clan Johnston/e In America, 215 S.E.

Clan Johnston Clan 641-227-3477 May 6, 2006 Clan badge designs, copyright Romilly Squire & Gaelic Themes Page 2 Dear CJA Members,

I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday period in December and January, and that you were able to use this time to celebrate family ties and renew your energy level for 2006. I also hope you will be able and inclined to share with CJA some of your energy, enthusiasm, talent, time, and whatever else you can spare.

To that end, I would like to challenge each of you to set some goals (resolutions?) for your involvement in CJA. As you know, we are a volunteer organization, and no one gets paid for his or her contributions (or as some would say, in my case I get paid what I’m worth). And as with any volunteer organization, what you get out of it is not so much what services the organization provides, but what you put into the organization. So I ask each of you to increase your level of participation in CJA, not just for our success, but also for your own sense of accomplishment.

How can you participate? There are many ways. I mentioned several in the previous Spur and Phoenix—you can serve as tent sponsors, committee members, contributors to the Spur and Phoenix, etc. We also have several states and provinces that don’t have commissioners currently, and we need these commissioners to work with our National Membership Chairperson, Debra Johnston, and our tent sponsors.

There are several other ways to increase your involvement. As a 501(c) (3) organization, any donations you make to CJA are tax deductible. CJA itself makes several donations each year to worthy organizations with Scottish (and often Johnston) links, and we operate a scholarship program that offers scholarships in the Scot- tish arts (dancing, piping, drumming, singing, Gaelic, etc.) You can donate to CJA for these purposes, and you can also donate to our Memorial Fund in memory of a family member, friend, or acquaintance who has passed away.

You can also help at the creative level — we welcome any of your ideas for new initiatives. We need your help with membership too. You can help by letting our Registrar, Margot Johnston, know when a member has moved or passed away. We also need your help in recruiting new members and help CJA grow. How about setting a personal goal to bring at least one additional person or family into CJA in 2006? We need to grow not only in terms of number of members, but also in terms of youth, young adult, and young-at-heart members.

Are you interested? I surely hope so. Do you have questions? Feel free to e-mail, call, or write me — see my contact information in the Council of Officers list on page 2. Will you regret it? No way, just the opposite!

In closing, I hope I’ll have the opportunity to see you at one of the Scottish games this year. I also hope you’ll be able to attend our 30th anniversary celebration at the Stone Mountain (GA) Highland Games October 20-22. Please make your plans for this now – details are provided elsewhere in this issue.

Aye Ready,

Steve Johnston

It’s here...a new web sitefor those who are participating in the DNA Project! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hjohnson/index.html

I think most of us realize that Y-DNA testing is just another tool to be used by genealogical researchers. A tool to help us support or refute existing paper trails, break through brick walls, and hopefully connect and steer researchers in the right direction. A single matching Y-DNA test cannot prove when a relationship occurs though it can certainly provide compelling evidence to support one and can certainly disprove a relationship.

A huge monetary investment has been extended by our participants when you consider the project as a whole! And, we are on record as being a large project....to quote a comment made by one of our participants...”it seems like you find just about every origin: Possible Arabic, Italian, Greek, German and on and on it goes” This new web page format is intended to afford each participant the opportunity to observe the results of his investment and to encourage participation in exploring more advanced studies of this project.

The new format includes several new features...the three main ones being: the Member List, Haplogroup Studies and Family Groups!

The Member List is a wealth of information about our members with links to, Pedigrees, e-addresses and Haplogroup Studies. This is the record of our membership!

Each of our project participants are further listed in his own haplogroup study. Here we hope to add more advanced studies as they materialize.

The participants are further divided into “family groups” and it is here that we’ll see the most activity in the days ahead as we try to sort everyone out! I have made an attempt at dividing everyone based on their DNA results. This was not easy! And I’m sure that I may have placed someone in the wrong group...for that I apologize and hope you understand! I’ll need everyone’s help in establishing and maintaining these family groups for we all should be aware that will always be a work in progress.

A very important part of this “work in progress” is the establishment of Group Leaders within each family group. Our project is so large and diversified that no single person (myself) can be expected to have complete knowledge of each family group. Most of my energy will be extended to maintaining the web page and doing what I can to assist the group leaders. I urge everyone to support this group leader concept!

One other thing, this project is in need of a project participant (or interested person) with a background in genetics and mathematics willing to donate some time to the more advanced study of our J/J/J project. Please contact me personally!

Many of you may have noticed that the old web site also included the Clark surname project data. Lea Dowd, the Clark surname administrator, has created a new web site for the Clark project and I must say that it’s very well done...very professional! She and I have been working to coordinate the announcement of the two new sites at the same time. Her new site is: http://www.htmlsd.com if you would like to take a look!

Enjoy the new web site, good luck and

Take Care,

Harold Johnson , Administrator Family tree research. Page7 Famous Johnston/e’s Jane Johnston, Mother of Hiawatha By Bart Johnston

If you are lucky enough to have had an English teacher that taught Longfellow or had a father like mine that considered The Song of Hiawatha one of the masterpieces of American literature, you have probably enjoyed the epic poem of the famous Ojibwa warrior. If you gave it much thought, you probably had no idea where the idea for the poem came from. The short answer is that it came from Jane Johnston Schoolcraft of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

Jane was the daughter of a Scots-Irish fur trader, John Johnston, who came from Ireland in the early 1790s to open a trading post and also cash in on the lucrative fur industry if smart and tough enough to survive on the frontier. He married the daughter of a powerful Ojibwa (Chippewa) chief and settled in the Sault in 1793, quickly gaining a reputation as an honest and true friend of the Indians. His influence in British North America and the new United States grew, as did his business, and soon this “Irishman” hosted trappers, traders, explorers, army officers and Indians. His establishment was a clearinghouse for business, politics and military affairs.

John’s daughter Jane (born 1800), whose Indian name was The Woman of the Sound Which the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky, was educated by both parents in Indian and European cultures. She and her seven brothers and sisters were raised to speak, English, Ojibwa and French. Their father insisted on academic excel- lence and she received advance education in private Canadian schools. John took her to Detroit, Montreal and Quebec City on his business trips and they traveled to Ireland to finish her education. While John was attending to the affairs of his estate, Craigballynoe, in County Antrim, Jane wintered with her aunt and uncle, John and Jane Johnston Moore in County Wexford. They planned on continuing her education with the Moores but the untimely death of her uncle resulted in her going to London with her father and then back home.

After returning to Michigan, in 1823 she married the renowned pioneer explorer, geologist and student of American Indians, Henry Schoolcraft. He had just been appointed by Territorial Governor Lewis Cass the first Indian Agent of the Upper Great Lakes.

Schoolcraft was a New Yorker who had run a glassworks in Vermont and started one of the first chemistry schools in the new country at Middlebury College so that he could learn more about the chemistry of glass making. Moving west, he drew the attention of Cass through his writings as both an Indian ethnologist and mineralogist. As a result he accompanied the governor on a trip to explore the Upper Peninsula as a geologist.

During 1826-27 Jane collaborated with her husband to produce a weekly magazine called The Literary Voyager. Much of the source material came from work she and her mother did compiling the Ojibwa legends, stories and myths around the Great Lakes. It was this rich research that her husband used as source material for his Algic Researches (1839). Jane also published Poetry 1815-1836, a book of twenty-six poems written in English and Ojibwa with accompanying English translations. (continued on next page)

Jane Johnston (Obahbahmwawageezhagoquay) Schoolcraft Woman of the Sound that Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky January 31, 1800 - May 22, 1842

Page 8 Jane Johnston, Mother of Hiawatha (continued) Jane’s mother - Woman of the Green Glade or Susan, as she was known by the whites - was from Wisconsin and had strong ties to the western Ojibwa. Mother and daughter compiled the stories and legends told around the lodgefires of both the Eastern and the Western Ojibwa bands, which Schoolcraft dutifully recorded and published and Longfellow devoured. Schoolcraft wrote over twenty volumes and hundreds of articles on Indian language, customs, traditions, stories and legends. Jane was his main research assistant on these works while translating and teaching him Ojibwa. Her brother, George Johnston, was also a translator for Henry’s Indian Agent position.

Jane and Henry started a literary society in the Sault to help make the long winters bearable, and the magazine Literary Voyager was a result of the society. Jane wrote poetry and essays for the publication, which was read as far away as New York. Her style was Eastern contemporary but her skills in English enabled her to record the traditions of her people accurately and with the emotion they themselves used, for she always felt that she was truly an “Anishanabe” one of the Original People.

Even as a child Jane had been frail and bearing four children weakened her further. Henry left for Europe alone in 1841 and Jane moved to live with a sister in Dundas, Ontario, where she died May 22, 1842. Her greatest literary legacy was to be achieved some thirteen years later when Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published his greatest work, The Song of Hiawatha. He was severely criticized by some as plagiarizing the Finnish epic poem Kalevala but Longfellow freely admitted that the source material was Schoolcraft’s Algic Researches. The Indian Agent from Michigan could never have compiled this work without the tireless research and writing of Susan Johnston and Jane Johnston Schoolcraft. These two storytellers were prime examples of the skill of the Ojibwa oral tradition and Jane undoubtedly was influenced by her Scots-Irish father, who came from a culture which also valued the oral tradition and legends of insurmountable obstacles, powerful enemies and mythical beasts to battle with.

It was a wonderful confluence of like cultures when the Scots and Scots-Irish found themselves on the frontier among the Indians whose tribal customs were parallel to the days of the clans and the Glory of the Gael. Longfellow may have had King Arthur, the Bruce or Bonny Prince Charlie in mind when he wrote:

Thus departed Hiawatha, Hiawatha the Beloved, In the glory of the sunset, In the purple mists of evening, To the regions of the home-wind, Of the Northwest-Wind, Keewaydin, To the Islands of the Blessed, To the kingdom of Ponemah, To the land of the Hereafter!

The 19th Annual Tucson Celtic Festival & Scottish Highland Games

November 5, 2005, Tucson, Arizona by Kathleen Sloan

A beautiful warm day was bestowed upon Tucson for the Highland Games where twenty-five Clans were represented. Jim and Anita Johnston, who are winter visi- tors to Arizona, helped us host the CJA tent. By noon the temperature was in the mid- L. to R. Jacquely McBain, Richard McBain of McBain, Peggy 80’s. We were happy to be the twelfth clan McBain, James McBain of McBain, Anita Johnston, Jim to be introduced in the Parade of Tartans so Johnston, Kathleen and Allen Sloan. we could quickly march back to the tent for shade and a cold drink. The Chief of the Games, James McBain of McBain, and his son Richard, always remain in full dress, wool jackets and all, thorughout the Festival. Great Scots!

There was a new ruling this year that no dogs were allowed on the field, which may account for the extremely low general attendance. Can you imagine any respectable Scot attending the Games without his or her best friend? Unthinkable! The owners of a beautiful pair of Irish Wolfhounds, who visit the CJA tent every year, came by without their hounds just to sign in and say hello. After all, the CJA tent at the Tucson Games has had a reputation for offering fine doggie biscuits. This year we were fortunate with the CJA tent location which was very close to the stage. We had wonderful music and entertainment all day long. Page 10 Johnston/e’s at the Robert Burns’ Night Celebration at Rush Creek County Club Maple Grove, MN. Jan. 20, 2006

Page 12 In the September issue of the S&P Archibald Johnstone of PEI was profiled. Before my interview with him I planned to profile other Canadian members of CJA and so in this issue I’m presenting my interview with Wayne Hare. It seemed rather odd that I’d not talked nor met him long before now as he lives right here in Peterborough. I was happy when Wayne agreed to be interviewed so I could share his Johnston story with other members. Wayne Hare Sometimes we don’t realize the impact Clan Johnston/e in America’s presence has at a Highland Games/Gath- ering. It was at a Highland Gathering at Panama City, Florida that Wayne first learned about the CJA. It was during a vacation in late 1992 when Wayne and his family were visiting Florida that he attended, in drizzling rain he remembers, this event and learned about the Clan Association, which he later joined. Why? Because his mother was Johnston and he thought this would be of interest to him and to her. Unfortunately his mother died in Jan. 1993 before she and the CJA could mutually benefit from Johnston knowledge.

Wayne, born in 1944, grew up in Grafton, Ontario area next to the farm owned by his Uncle Douglas Johnston. Wayne’s father was killed in the War in 1945 without ever seeing his son, so Wayne’s uncle and his children certainly provided him and his mother with a supportive family with cousins to play with and lots of family events. The Johnston family, headed by Wayne’s great grandfather had emigrated from the Berwick area of Scotland to Ontario about 1834. His grandfather was a blacksmith and eventually the family settled in the Grafton-Cobourg-Haldimand Township area.

Wayne’s mother, Helen Johnston Hare, her sister Marion Rankin and brother Douglas compled a most interesting book about their Johnston heritage. Its cover is most suitably a replica of Johnston tartan and inside are many photos, genealogy charts as well, of course, stories of the different generations. Marion Johnston Rankin died in November 2005 and was formerly a member of CJA.

The Johnston relatives have had picnics every 5 years held on his uncle’s farm. Close to 100 people would attend and it gave them all a chance to keep up family connections, especially the younger generations. Unfor- tunately, like a lot of family reunions, attendance has gradually diminished. Wayne mentioned that Russell Honey had attended one of the family picnics a few years ago.

Wayne graduated from school on a Friday and commenced work at General Electric here in Peterborough on the following Monday. I like a Johnston that moves fast! He commenced a drafting apprenticeship and retired 42 years later as an engineering technologist. G.E, certainly benefited form the knowledge, expertise and loyalty that Wayne gave to his employer. Through mutual friends he met Anne, a nurse from Port Credit. Anne has strong Scottish roots with grandparents hailing form the town of Kirkcaldy. Wayne and Anne have lived in Peterborough where they raised a son and daughter and became very active in Knox United Church. Wayne is a very skilled handy-man and, now he’s retired, devotes a great deal of his time as hands-on Property Chairman of their church. Anne, who works as a nurse at a local clinic, is thinking she’ll soon retire which will give them both more time to travel. Wayne and Anne, we’re glad you are members of CJA.

At this time I’m not sure just what Games we’ll be hosting tents in the summer, but be assured there will be a Johnston/e presence alive and well throughout Ontario. Will post the dates in the Summer issue. Carol Koeslag Page 13 Readers Corner Dalriada - The land that Scotland forgot This book examines the origins of Great Britain from a Scots rather than an English perspective. In nine diverse essays Bob Johnston’s schol- arly work looks at the birth of Dalriada, its eventual domination of northern Britain, and events following the formation of Scotland.

Dealing with such colourful characters as Saint Columba and King James VI & I, a Great Britain emerges that owes much of its identity to Scots influences, ideas and people.

The abandonment and denigration of Dalriada, firstly by Scotland and then by Great Britain, is also discussed along with the consequences this may have for the modern Scots nation and the larger British Union.

Whether your interest is in the Viking influences on Britain, the growth of British Christianity, the turbulent events that created our modern nation, the relegation of Scotland to a subordinate role in the United Kingdom, Bob Johnston’s book offers an accessible introduction to subjects that are often neglected elsewhere. (Bob Johnston is from Campbeltown, Argyll, Scotland. This book is onsale at www.ardpress.co.uk)

The Tartan Day resolution of the United States Senate

Senate Resolution 155, March 20th 1998

Whereas April 6 has a special significance for all Americans, and especially those Americans of Scottish descent, because the Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declaration of Independence, was signed on April 6, 1320 and the American Declaration of Independence was modelled on that inspirational document;

Whereas this resolution honors the major role that Scottish Americans played in the founding of this Nation, such as the fact that almost half of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scottish descent, the Governors in 9 of the original 13 States were of Scottish ancestry, Scottish Americans successfully helped shape this country in its formative years and guide this Nation through its most troubled times;

Whereas this resolution recognizes the monumental achievements and invaluable contributions made by Scottish Americans that have led to America’s preeminence in the fields of science, technology, medicine, government, politics, economics, architecture, literature, media, and visual and perform- ing arts;

Whereas this resolution commends the more than 200 organizations throughout the United States that honor Scottish heritage, tradition, and culture, representing the hundreds of thousands of Americans of Scottish descent, residing in every State, who already have made the observance of Tartan Day on April 6 a success.

Page 14 About Tartan Day

Tartan Day celebrates the existing and historical links between Scotland and Scottish descendants overseas. In the United States there are over 10 million people who claim Scots descent, and most take pride in the transat- lantic connection. In North America

Tartan Day was the idea of Mrs Jean Watson. Through- out the late 1980s she petitioned throughout Canada for its recognition. Her efforts bore fruit when the Province of Nova Scotia did so in 1987. Other provinces began to recognise the day throughout the 1990s and as of 2004 all Canadian provinces save Newfoundland officially recognise it.

The idea also took root in the United States and since 1998, the date of April 6 has been officially recognised by the United States Senate as a celebration of the con- tribution made by generations of Scots-Americans to the foundation and prosperity of modern America. President Woodrow Wilson, the son of a Scots-Irish Presbyterian minister, said: “Every line in America’s history is a line Tartan Day Buttons on Sale coloured by Scottish blood.” (See front cover for design)

Supporters of the event call it a signal of the strengthening Scots-Canadian/American relationship in the 21st century. The Tunes of Glory Parade in 2002 saw 10,000 pipers and drummers march through the streets of New York. They were the centerpiece of the event where thousands of Americans celebrated their links to Don’t Forget Scotland.

Decorating your tent for the games or having something representing your Johnston heritage can get a bit pricy but here are some ways to create at- tractive displays that you can use in your home or for the games with little expense. Some of these items make great gifts as well.

When displaying anything on a table, think of things that would catch the eyes of passerbys. We use easels for displays. We found three easels for under a dollar each at a thrift store. They are wooden and you can fold them up to pack them. Use small easels for books and framed photos. We sometimes find them at garage sales. Having some architecture to your display really helps to catch the eye.

The Map... We took a tatered old map we had of Scotland and we marked the Annandale and the Caskebien areas with a marker. We placed photo copys of the badges next to each one. We found a color photo of Hawthorn Berrys and pasted that to the map as well. Then we laminated the map after cutting it to a size suitable for framing. We found an old frame in the attic from the 1970’s (or shop garage sales or thrift stores) and we framed it. When placed on an easel, it draws a lot of people to our table.

The CJA Logo...We purchased some acrilac paints, some artists carbon paper and a rug canvas. You can find most of these in a craft store. We enlarged a drawing of the logo (see new brochure) and printed it out in sections. We traced the pattern onto the rug, then painted it. When it was dry, we cut it to the size we wanted . We put gold trim on the egdges and fringe on the bottom. We used some scrap window molding for the top and screwed them together with the rug in between. Then we attached a gold cord.

Pictures... You can frame photos with inexpensive frames and arrange them on the table with small easels. We took a photo of Raehills from an old newsletter and kept running it through a copy machine until it looked like an etching. Then we framed it with a mat. It was small but dramatic. You can also use frames and mats to create an interesting effect with tartan by framing a piece of tartan and matting it. Add a bit of heather and a small ribbon and it is nice enough to give as a gift.

Decorations...We purchase inexpensive bits of greenery and yellow flowers to tuck in around pictures and to arrange along the top. It give it a festive look and draws people in. We also found an inexpensive folding bakers rack that we take to the games and put it behind us in the tent. It holds some of the items we don’t have room for on the table.

The Doll... I found a Scottish Doll and revamped her in Johnston cotton tartan. She is a big hit with the girls.

There are many other items that I can cover in another issue. Some of these would make great gifts so if you make one, you might want to make extra to give as gifts to family members. They are easy and inexpensive.

We tried to make something new each year to add to our display. Some are fun projects to do as we dream of the games season to come. (Note: The CJA tent won Best Clan Tent in Minnesota for 2000,2002,2005. We were not eligible in 2001,2003. We won 3rd place in 2004.)

History Highlights

April 6, 1320 ~ The Declaration of Arbroath passed. “For we fight not for glory, nor for riches, nor for honor, but only and alone for freedom, which no good man surrenders but with his life.” In the United States of America, all Scots celebrate April 6 as “Tartan Day” in honor of this declaration.

1729 ~ Two women were arrested in Edinburgh for wearing men’s clothing.

1819 ~ The Strathaven Clearances began on the Sutherland Estates. Families were given 30 minutes to remove their belongings before their cottages were set on fire.

1951 ~ “Stone of Destiny” which had been stolen from under the Coronation Chair in England by Scottish Nationalists on Christmas Day in 1950, was returned to Westminster Abbey after being found in Arbroath Abbey in Scotland. But on November 15, 1996, the Stone of Destiny, on which Scottish kings had been crowned since time immemorial, was brought back to Scotland 700 years after the army of King Edward I of England carted it off to Westminster Abbey in London. Now safely ensconced in Edinburgh Castle, the 152 kg rock popularly known outside Scotland as the “Stone of Scone” has joined the other Scottish royal regalia — crown, scepter,sword and jewels — in a closely-guarded museum.
