Educating Trans-Imperial Indigenous Fur-Trade Children in The
‘By Education and Conduct’: Educating Trans-Imperial Indigenous Fur-Trade Children in the Hudson’s Bay Company Territories and the British Empire, 1820s to 1870s By Erin Millions A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of the University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba December 22, 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Erin Millions ABSTRACT Mid-nineteenth-century Indigenous fur-trade students were part of a larger group of mixed-descent children in the British Empire who were the product of intimate relations between British men and local women in the colonies. These imperial children were the source of a great deal of anxiety for their parents, British administrators, missionaries, and entrepreneurs. In the mid-nineteenth-century Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) territories, the parents of elite Indigenous fur-trade children sought a British-style education for their children in order to equip them thrive in the HBC territories and the larger British Empire. These children were sent to schools in the HBC territories, the Canadian colonies, and Britain in order to learn how to perform gendered British middle-class identities. In the HBC territories, however, missionaries who were attuned to the project of civilizing and Christianizing Indigenous peoples leveraged this curriculum in different ways than their counterparts in metropolitan spaces. Elite Indigenous fur-trade students were highly mobile, as schooling often required children to live at boarding schools far from their homes at fur trade posts. An extensive network of British and Indigenous kin that spanned the HBC territories, the Canadian colonies, and Britain supported fur-trade students who were at school. -

These first people hunted, fished and gathered raw resources to be processed into tools and other useful materials. By the time the first fur trade forts were established in the district in 1795, the Cree had named this area Otinow (a place where everyone came). However, First Nations may have used this area well before this European contact. About 12,000 years ago the study area was under a large lake, with a vast area surrounding it. -

Booze, Change, Trails and Telegraph Lines After the Purchase of Hudson Bay Lands by Marvin Bjornstad
Booze, Change, Trails and Telegraph Lines after the purchase of Hudson Bay lands By Marvin Bjornstad I had for many years an idea that the Dominion Telegraph line followed the Carlton Trail and this was true in some ways, and not in others. Both the trail and the telegraph line changed as a reaction to many events after the mid-1850s, including Confederation, the purchase of the Hudson Bay lands, the spread of smallpox, initial stages of the building of the CPR, and the beginning of settlement. After consulting the article from Paul Sutherland’s Fort Pitt to Edmonton: the Other Route, the thesis of Alan Ronaghan on The Pioneer Telegraph, JS MacGregor’s Senator Hardisty’s Prairie: 1840/1889 and looking at the Dominion Telegraph booklet, I have put together my information in a new way. Throughout the 1800s, what was to become the prairie provinces of Canada, underwent rapid changes. Western Canada in the early 1800s had few people of European descent and native people roamed over the land pursuing a nomadic lifestyle. The early days of this century started with a strong competitive and violent fur trade. The merger of the Hudson Bay Company and the North West Company in 1823 ended their rivalry, but many residents were effected by the closing of some trading centers and other independent Metis and American traders soon moved in to be the new competition, many using alcohol in the fur trade. Soon after Confederation of the Canadian Provinces in 1867, the new government bought out the Hudson Bay Company’s interest in the vast lands of the prairies. -
