Copyrighted Material Not for Distribution Fidler in Context
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. -

RESEARCH MffiKFlM DE RECHERCHES NATIONAL HISTORIC PARKS DIRECTION DES PARCS AND ET DES SITES BRANCH LIEUX HISTORIQUES NATIONAUX No. 45 February 1977 Fire in the Beaver Hills Introduction Before proceeding with an historical investigation of fire and its possible historical impact upon the Beaver Hills landscape, it is necessary to outline the approach to this subject. First of all, there is a considerable body of literature by geographers, biologists and other scholars who have studied fire in relation to the grasslands and savannas of the world. *• Nevertheless, some important ques tions remain. What effects have fire had on vegetation, flora, and other aspects of landscape, including man him self? What relationships have existed between fires, climate and man? Very little relevant research on such questions has been undertaken utilizing the extensive historical literature on the northern plains of Western Canada and the American West.2 The only scholarly study for the pre-1870 period is a survey of the causes and effects of fire on the northern grasslands of Canada and the United States written by J.G. Nelson and R.E. England.3 It pro vides a broad overview of the impact of fire upon the prairie landscape. For an assessment of the impact of fire in the Beaver Hills area the early writings of the agents of the fur trade in the Hudson's Bay Company archives must be examined. There were several fur trading posts established within a hundred-mile radius of the Beaver Hills area after 1790. Unfortunately, few records relating to the North West Company's operations have survived.^ For information on posts such as Fort Augustus, built at the mouth of the Sturgeon river in 1795, the historian depends primarily upon references made by servants of the Hudson's Bay Company. -

October 16, 2006 Province Officially Opens Anthony Henday Drive Southwest to 30,000 Daily Motorists First Completed Ring Road Se
October 16, 2006 Province officially opens Anthony Henday Drive Southwest to 30,000 daily motorists First completed ring road section in Alberta opens to traffic Edmonton...Motorists travelling between Highway 2 and Highway 16 around Edmonton have a new, more efficient travelling option, as the province officially opened the final eight-kilometre section of the Anthony Henday Drive Southwest Ring Road. Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation Ty Lund, joined by Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel, marked the official opening of the first complete leg of a ring road in Alberta. "The completion of the southwest ring road supports the ongoing growth of the Capital Region and creates a new and vital economic link within the province," said Lund. "Investing in Alberta's highway network, and in ring road infrastructure, supports the province's strong economy and contributes to Alberta's future growth." The provincial cost for completing the 18-kilometre southwest section of the Anthony Henday Drive was $310 million and includes five interchanges (Calgary Trail/Gateway Boulevard, Terwillegar Drive, 111 Street, Whitemud Drive, and 87 Avenue), three ravine crossings (Blackmud, Whitemud, and Wedgewood), and twin bridges over the North Saskatchewan River. "One of the City of Edmonton's key priorities is the swift completion of Anthony Henday Drive, and the opening and the southwest ring road is another important step toward realizing this goal," said Mayor Stephen Mandel. "The City is proud to work with the Government of Alberta on this project, as it both reinforces Edmonton's position as the service hub for northern development and meets the transportation needs of our citizens and the entire capital region." The expected traffic volume on Anthony Henday Drive Southwest is approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. -
News Release
News release July 16, 2012 Construction digs-in on final leg of Edmonton ring road Final leg of Anthony Henday Drive set to open to traffic in 2016 Edmonton ... The finish line on the Edmonton ring road is in sight with the final northeast leg of the Anthony Henday Drive scheduled to open in fall 2016. “It is very rewarding to turn sod on a project that is so far reaching. This new road improves our quality of life, supports a changing and expanding population and furthers Alberta’s economic growth,” said Minister of Transportation Ric McIver. “This is an exciting step in moving toward the long-range vision of the Edmonton Ring Road that began in the 1970s.” More than 50,000 Albertans use the Henday each day. The ring road, once completed, will change the way residents in the Capital Region connect with the people and services that matter to them – reducing commute times and traffic congestion. It will also dramatically benefit industry that uses the freeway as a vital route in all four directions, getting our products to market more quickly and efficiently. The Alberta government signed a 34-year contract with the Capital City Link General Partnership to design, build, operate, and partially finance Northeast Anthony Henday Drive. The public-private partnership (P3) contract is worth $1.81 billion in 2012 dollars, to be paid over the term of the contract, and follows a P3 selection process which began in March 2011. This is a savings of $370 million, compared to the estimated cost of $2.18 billion using traditional delivery. -

Notes on Metis Culture and History Lawrence J. Barkwell
Notes on Metis Culture and History Lawrence J. Barkwell Revised January 2015 Preface The history of Metis National identity spans over 300 years. Metis culture is an oral culture, the Michif library is the stories and recollections of our Elders. The Metis hunters of the plains were also a horse culture like the Dakota and Nakota. In our schools and universities the mainstream version of Metis history is taught. The Metis oral history versions are not taught. Until very recently there were no text books dedicated to Metis culture. Therefore we have produced two resource books. • Barkwell, Lawrence J., Leah Dorion and Darren R. Préfontaine. Metis Legacy: A Metis Historiography and Annotated Bibliography. Saskatoon, Gabriel Dumont Institute; Winnipeg: Pemmican Publications and Louis Riel Institute, 2001. • Barkwell, Lawrence J., Leah M. Dorion and Audreen Hourie. Metis Legacy, Volume Two: Michif Culture, Heritage and Folkways. Saskatoon, Gabriel Dumont Institute, Winnipeg: Pemmican Publications, 2007. To this day there is only one University level set of courses teaching the Michif language The apex of Metis statesmanship and governance was achieved July 24, 1870 when the Legislative Assembly of Assiniboia voted to join Canada. Manitoba is the only province brought into Confederation by Aboriginal people—the Metis. The Metis were a people with their own Bill of Rights, their own flag, their own anthem and their own language long before Canada was a nation. • A nation with its own Bill of Rights (1849) In 1849, Alexander Isbister presented the first list of Metis rights to the Colonial Office in London. In 1869 Riel presented a list of rights to Canada. -

Historical Walking Tours of Downtown Edmonton Explore Our Past
Historical Walking Tours of Downtown Edmonton Explore Our Past... he Hudson's Bay Company put Edmonton on Tthe map over 200 years ago in 1795 when it built Edmonton House, Edmonton's first permanent settlement and trading post for the first inhabitants who hunted and fished along the North Saskatchewan River. On October 8, 1904, Edmonton was incorporated as a city. 1 There are four Historical Walking Tours of Downtown Edmonton in this booklet. They can be followed individually or in sequence. Tour I Heritage Trail Tour II Jasper West and Warehouse District Tour III Downtown and Rice Howard Way Tour IV Jasper East Fort Edmonton, 1871. (CEA EA-128-3) ackground historical information appears at Bthe beginning of the booklet, and a general introduction and a route map precede each of the tours. Historical connections between buildings are noted in the text. Wherever possible, buildings are referred to by their original name, or by the name of the original occupant or the most prominent occupant. Oftentimes these do not correspond to their current owners or occupants. Please note that some of the buildings on these tours are privately owned and ought to be viewed only from the street. 2 Historical Walking Tours of Downtown Edmonton nthony Henday, a Hudson’s Bay Company A explorer, passed near the site of present- day Edmonton in 1754. His trip was part of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s interest in establishing direct contact with the native population of the interior rather than depending on native middlemen to bring furs to posts located on Hudson’s Bay. -
Blood Tribe/Káínai
Blood Tribe/Káínai – Traditional Knowledge, Land, & Resource Use Source: Springbank Off-Stream Reservoir Project June 2018 Prepared for the Blood Tribe/Káínai By Dermot O’Connor Oak Road Concepts Inc Introduction The Blood Tribe/Káínai (BT/K) is a part of the Blackfoot Confederacy and is based in Southern Alberta on 557.2 square miles of reserve land bordered by the Old Man River, the St. Mary River, and the Belly River. This reserve of 352,600 acres is the largest in Canada (Dempsey, 1997, 28). The population at present is approximately 12,500 (Blood Tribe, 2018). The traditional Blackfoot territory “extends from the Rocky Mountains to the West; to the Sand Hills to the East; to the North Saskatchewan River in the North, and the Yellowstone in the South” (Blood Tribe, 2018; Crop Eared Wolf, 2007, 1). The Blackfoot Confederacy consists of three tribes of Niitsítapi: the Bloods, the Peigans (both in Alberta and Montana) and the Blackfoot. Of these tribes of Blackfoot, the Bloods refer to themselves as Káínai, the Tribe of Many Chiefs (Dempsey, 1997, 10; Blackfoot Gallery Committee, 2013, 11). Some of the sources cited in this document use the terms Bloods, Blood Tribe, Káínai, or Káínai First Nation but for the most part, BT/K is used to refer to the Blood Tribe/Káínai. When Blackfoot history and culture is discussed in this report, it is intended to refer to BT/K ancestors or to the Blackfoot Confederacy as a whole, rather than to any other particular First Nation. Blood Tribe/Káínai – Profile The Blood Tribe/Káínai traces its history through oral traditions, historical research and the archaeological record. -
