    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.

  • The Royal Canadian Legion New Brunswick Command
    The Royal Canadian Legion New Brunswick Command Track & Field Overview and History 1975 - Present Introduction: This document is an attempt to record the history of the Royal Canadian Legion’s involvement with track and field in New Brunswick. The Legion National Youth Track & Field Championships are Canada’s premier and only nationwide competition for youth track and field athletes from across the country. The championships are truly national in scale as the Legion supports teams from all provinces and territories in Canada. The national program began in 1975 as a weekend training camp with only four (4) provincial Legion Commands participating. In 1976, the weekend training camp was held again with athletes from six (6) Commands taking part. In 1977 the first week long camp and national championships took place and this format continues today. New Brunswick Command has been involved in track and field since 1959. Before the start of the national program we held District and provincial track and field meets throughout the province. The large part of this document was prepared by Harold Nicholson. He was a member and Executive Officer of Hartland Legion Branch # 24; a longtime member and 22 year President of Athletics New Brunswick; a teacher; a coach; a Legion team chaperone; and a member of the Provincial Track & Field committee. In 2012 he was awarded the national “Investors Group Volunteer Sport Administrator of the Year Award” and in 2014 was posthumously inducted into the Athletics Canada Hall of Fame. On July 24, 1998 while working on a combined document of the New Brunswick Legion, Canada Games and Jeux de la Francophonie teams Harold wrote the following – “The following list of athletes and staff who have comprised the New Brunswick provincial teams since the inception of the Jeux du Canada / Canada Games in 1969 and the Royal Canadian Legion Age-Class Teams in 1977 is a small attempt to record a part of the history of our sport in this province.

  • New Brunswick Parish Boundaries in the Pre-1861 Census Years
    Documents New Brunswick Parish Boundaries in the pre-1861 census years Quantitative data relevant to the early history of New Brunswick are scarce. Grain-bounty returns, probated wills and inventories, and church records hold promise as sources of data for work on the pre-confederation period, but these records are fragmentary, their use is difficult, and they have yet to be exploited systematically.1 Undoubtedly, the provincial censuses taken in 1824, 1834, 1840 and 1851 are the most accessible and complete numerical records available for the province in the first half of the nineteenth century.2 However, these data are not immediately useful for the study of spatial patterns. As the population of the province increased, and the settled area expanded, old parishes were divided, new ones were created, and exist­ ing boundaries were altered. Thus the number of parishes increased from 34 in 1784 to 80 in 1834 and 100 in 1851,3 and at each census, statistics were collected according to the current pattern of this changing mesh. But few nineteenth-century maps of the province are reliable indicators of the parish lines; those that exist rarely show the boundaries as they were in a census year. The developing network of parish boundaries can be traced through the succession of provincial statutes by which the boundaries were erected, changed and confirmed. The best guide to this plethora of legislation is part V of 13 Vict., c. 51 (1850), An Act to consolidate all the Laws now in force for the division of the Province into Counties, Towns and Parishes, and the details need not be repeated here.
