Abstract The purpose of this research is to ident* and map Fairford Saulteaux land use in the Interlake Region of Manitoba between 1 842- 1 87 1 using archival source material. This the period has ken descriid as one of declining opportunities, yet the Saulteaux were able to persist in this environment. A series of rnaps demonstrating land use patterns were produced to give a clearer sense of how the Fairfiord Saulteaux came to define and specifically demarcate their territory Cbapter 1: lntroductioa In 187 1, seventy Sauheaux fiorn the Lake St. Martin region in central Manitoba indicated to the Canadian government their desire for a formai treaty, stating an interest to seU theK land in return for a reserve (Figure 1.1) in anticipation of upcorning treaty negotiations (Provincial Archives of Manitoba 1 87 1). In retuni for this wucession, the Saulteaux demanded protection of their 6s- and huntïng rights as weli as the right to cut timber within the region Also requested was the creation of "a very Large reserve" (Tough 1994: 86), a rquest that was not uncornmon during this period. What is important about this request made by the seventy Sauheaux is that specik bouadaries cmbe derived fiom their correspondence Hidicating a very chunderstanding of where kirtraditional lands lay (Figure 1.2). The Sauiteaux utiiïzed the land base surrounding Lake St. Martia for camping and fishing, gardening, sugar production and religious ceremonies (Peers 1994, 1991, 1987). Saulteaux iand use patterns were conceived aamrding to their local economy which requned the maintenance of subsistence hunting and fïshing wbk they incorporated the mmworthwhile aspects of the mercantile ecowmy, or the fur trade, since the amival of the North West Company in 1 795 (HBCA B5 1 /dl ). The Hudson's Bay Company took over thk post following theu merger with the North West Company in 182 1, and by 1842 the Anglican Church had estabiished a mission a few miles fiom the post. By 1 842, seasonal camps had been established at the trading post site as Church 2 Missionq Society (CMS) officials began to build the region's first permanent structures at their Lake St. Martin mission site. 1t was during the period 1842- 187 1 that the Saulteaux began to view the Fairford Mission as a site of importance. a location that was also a centre of comrnunicat ions linking the broad Interlake Region (Brown 1985: 1). The Saulteaux during this the also developed precise ideas of their temtory's outer boundaries as evidenced by the 1871 request. This tirne penod is one in which neighboring groups throughout the Interlake Region were forced to expand hunting territories, thereby increasing cornpetition for resources amonç all groups. This would have affected the Fairford Saulteaux forcing them to determine how much temtory they required for theu day-to-day activities. By 1 8 7 1 . the Fairford Saulteawr economy had evolved to the point that local resources were utilized in combination with trade with the Hudson's Bay Company to provide a cornfortable Iifestyle (Peers 1994, 1987, Tough 1994). The purpose of this research is to identm and map Fairford Saulteaux land use in thc Interlake Region of Manitoba during this transition period 1 842- 1 87 1.

  • Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario
    White Dogs, Black Bears, and Ghost Gamblers: Two Late Woodland Midewiwin Aspects from Ontario JAMES B. BANDOW Museum of Ontario Archaeology, University of Western Ontario INTRODUCTION Historians and ethnographers have debated the antiquity of the Midewiwin. Entrenched in historical discourse is Hickerson’s (1962, 1970) theory that the Midewiwin was a recent native resistance movement, a socio-evolutionary response to the changing culture patterns resulting from culture contact with Europeans. Other scholars view the Midewiwin as a syncretism, suggesting that a prehistoric component became intertwined with Christian influences that resulted in the ceremonial practices observed by ethnohistorians (Mason 2009; Aldendefer 1993; Dewdney 1975; Landes 1968). Recent critiques, however, provide evidence from material culture studies and center on the largely Western bias inherent in Hickerson’s diffusionist argument surrounding the post-contact origin of the Midewiwin. These arguments note structural similarities observed in birch bark scroll depictions, rock paintings and pictographs with historical narratives, ethnographic accounts, and oral history. These multiple perspectives lead some historians to conclude the practice was a pre-contact phenomenon (e.g., Angel 2002:68; Peers 1994:24; Schenck 1997:102; Kidd 1981:43; Hoffman 1891:260). Archaeological and material culture studies may provide further insight into understanding the origins of the Midewiwin. Oberholtzer’s (2002) recent overview of dog burial practices, for instance, compared prehistoric ritual patterns with the known historical practices and concluded that the increased complexity of the Midewiwin Society is an elaboration of substantive indigenous practices that must predate any European influence. This paper documents the archaeological continuity and syncretism of Mide symbolism observed from the Great Lakes region.

  • Ojibwe and Dakota Relations: a Modern Ojibwe Perspective Through
    Ojibwe miinawa Bwaanag Wiijigaabawitaadiwinan (Ojibwe and Dakota Relations) A Modern Ojibwe Perspective Through Oral History Ojibwe miinawa Bwaanag Wiijigaabawitaadiwinan (Ojibwe and Dakota Relations) A Modern Ojibwe Perspective Through Oral History Jason T. Schlender, History Joel Sipress, Ph.D, Department of Social Inquiry ABSTRACT People have tried to write American Indian history as the history of relations between tribes and non-Indians. What is important is to have the history of the Ojibwe and Dakota relationships conveyed with their own thoughts. This is important because it shows the vitality of Ojibwe oral history conveyed in their language and expressing their own views. The stories and recollections offer a different lens to view the world of the Ojibwe. A place few people have looked at in order to understand the complicated web of relationships that Ojibwe and Dakota have with one another. Niibowa bwaanag omaa gii-taawag.

  • The Prophecy of the Seven Fires of the Anishinaabe
    The Prophecy of the Seven Fires of the Anishinaabe Then seven prophets appeared to the people. The First Prophet told the people that in the time of the First Fire they would leave their homes by the sea and follow the sign of the megis. They were to journey west into strange lands in search of a island in the shape of a turtle. This island will be linked to the purification of the earth. Such an island was to be found at the beginning and at the end of their journey. Along the way they would find a river connecting two large sweet water seas. This river would be narrow and deep as though a knife had cut through the land. They would stop seven times to create villages but they would know that their journey was complete when they found food growing on the water. If they did not leave, there would be much suffering and they would be destroyed. And they would be pursued and attacked by other nations along the way so they must be strong and ready to defend themselves. The Second Prophet told them they could recognize the Second Fire because while they were camped by a sweet water sea they would lose their direction and that the dreams of a little boy would point the way back to the true path, the stepping stones to their future. The Third Prophet said that in the Third Fire the Anishinabe would find the path to the lands prepared for them and they would continue their journey west to the place where food grows upon the water.

  • An Analysis of Traditional Ojibwe Civil Chief Leadership
    An Analysis of Traditional Ojibwe Civil Chief Leadership A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Giniwgiizhig - Henry Flocken IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION Frank Guldbrandsen, Adviser May, 2013 © Giniwgiizhig - Henry Flocken 2013 i Acknowledgements My wife, Clarice Mountain, endured the weight of my absence. Her strength helps me succeed. I love her immensely. My children, Terry, Tashina, Samara, Bobbi, Ricky, Ryan, Lisa, Ashley, and Desi, also felt my absence. Marcy Ardito instilled in me that I was smart and could do anything. Dr. Frank Guldbrandsen is a friend and an intellectual guerrilla emancipating cattle from slaughter. ii Dedication This work is dedicated to the late Albert Churchill, a spiritual leader, and his great family. Albert kept traditional ceremonies alive and always shared knowledge with those who asked. Knowledge is useless unless it is shared. He said if we do not share our knowledge, then the flow of new knowledge will be blocked and we will not learn. He always said, “Together we can do anything.” iii Abstract Little is known about traditional Ojibwe civil chief leadership. This critical ethnography is an analysis of traditional Ojibwe civil chief leadership. Hereditary chiefs are interviewed. Chief leadership lies nested in the Anishinaabe Constitution. It is clan-based and value-based. It includes all of creation. Leadership is emergent and symbolic. Chiefs symbolized and are spokespersons for the will of the people. They were selected based on their virtues. The real power is in the people, in clans in council.

Distribuido como pre-print bajo licencia Creative Commons by-nc-nd 4.0 "Bibliotecario". http://biblio-tecario.blogspot.com.es/ Introducción Una pictografía es un gráfico o dibujo que ha sido creado con una finalidad comunicativa. Las pictografías pueden cumplir varias funciones: pueden usarse como ayudas para la memoria, o bien representar una idea o un significado concreto, en cuyo caso suelen ser denominadas ideogramas . Generalmente son diseños muy estereotipados y simples, más o menos esquemáticos y formalizados, que omiten todos los detalles que no sean necesarios para la expresión de aquello que se quiera transmitir. Buena parte de las sociedades humanas del planeta han utilizado —y siguen utilizando, incluso en contextos urbanos contemporáneos— pictografías para comunicar saberes, historias o mensajes. Los pueblos indígenas de América del Norte no fueron la excepción. Emplearon para ello una amplia variedad de soportes físicos, y otros tantos recursos, métodos y sistemas. El resultado fue un rico abanico de expresiones gráficas cuyo objetivo final era rescatar del olvido un puñado de memorias y lograr que sobrevivieran hasta, al menos, la siguiente generación. Los siguientes párrafos exploran algunos de los materiales y sistemas más curiosos utilizados para transmitir información entre los grupos nativos norteamericanos. Algunos de ellos mantienen su vigencia, aunque han perdido su rol comunicativo y hoy por hoy cumplen una función principalmente estética. 01. Hueso Un gráfico incluido en los tomos de la Historical and Statistical Information... , del etnólogo y geógrafo estadounidense H. Schoolcraft, presenta una serie de pictografías incisas sobre un omóplato de búfalo que fue hallado en territorio del pueblo Numunuu o Comanche, en el actual estado de Texas (Estados Unidos).
