    Fort Anne National Historic Park Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia Canada A WISE NATION PRESERVES ITS RECORDS - - - GATHERS UP ITS MUNIMENTS - - - DECORATES THE TOMBS OF ITS ILLUS­ TRIOUS DEAD REPAIRS ITS GREAT PUBLIC STRUCTURES AND FOSTERS NA­ TIONAL PRIDE AND LOVE OF COUNTRY BY PERPETUAL REFERENCE TO THE SACRIFICES AND GLORIES OF THE PAST. Joseph Howe Published under the Authority of THE HONOURABLE ROBERT H. WINTERS Minister of Resources ond Development Fort Anne Notional Historic Park Fort Anne National Historic Park Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia ORT ANNE occupied an important place in the early history of Canada, for around Port Royal, as it was originally known, centred the long struggle be­ Ftween the French and English for control of Acadia. The original Port Royal was captured and burned by the English in 1613, but Acadia was returned by treaty to the French in 1632. The French Governor, de Razilly, built a fort at the mouth of the La Have River, but on his death, his successor, d'Aulnay de Charnisay, re­ moved the settlement to Port Royal. The new fort, built about 1635, was located on the present site of Fort Anne, Annapolis River. As the capital of Acadia, Port Royal for the next hundred years experienced a chequered career and changed hands many times before its final capitulation by the French to a New England force under Colonel Francis Nicholson in 1710. Nicholson changed the name from Port Royal to Annapolis Royal, in honour of the reigning sovereign of England, Queen Anne. The present Fort Anne is the outgrowth of two French fortifications built on the same site, and later additions made by the English.

  • The Champlain Myth in Early Canadian Literature Andre John Narbonne
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 42 No. 2 Pages 75–98 Copyright © 2012 An Aesthetic of Companionship: The Champlain Myth in Early Canadian Literature Andre John Narbonne In a letter to William Douw Lighthall on November 18, 1888, Charles G.D. Roberts describes the activities at the Haliburton Society at King’s College in Windsor, Nova Scotia. “I talk Canadianism all the time to the members,” he writes. “We have a literary programme, of Canadian color each night, & we smoke, & drink lime juice & raspberry vinegar, all thro[ugh] the meeting. I am sort of permanent Pres[iden]t, as it were” (Collected Letters 96; italics in original). In the letter’s postscript, Roberts asks Lighthall if he would like to join the society and names Bliss Carman as one of its members. According to the Oxford English Dictionary the word “Canadianism” first entered into the English language in 1875, and Roberts’ letter to Lighthall indicates that by 1888 it was already the byword of a new literary project—a project that was openly and idealis- tically nationalistic,1 and, clearly, important both to the acknowledged leader of the Confederation group of poets and to the most important anthologist of Canadian literature in the post-Confederation period. Until the ascension of modernism in Canada and the rise of profession- alism, anthologists/literary historians such as Lighthall were enormously influential in determining critical trends, and a nationalistic preoccupa- tion with identifying and promulgating a literary tradition is a salient feature of Canadian literary criticism after Confederation.

  • INTRODUCTION Overview in This Lesson I'm Going to Start
    LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION Overview In this lesson I’m going to start from the very beginning of the known inhabitants of the land we call Canada, giving a brief history of the Siberians who crossed the Bering Strait, what peoples lived where, and then what peoples colonized and took Canada for themselves. Regardless of what they may have been taught in other classes, I want to start Canadian history from the beginning, and build on it from there so students can get a very holistic understanding of how our country started and how this history defines what it is today. Learning Goal I want this lesson to give students a foundation on which they can build their understanding of Canada’s origins and peoples, as well as the concept of colonialism. Seeing as Canada as it exists today was cultivated from colonialism and the changing of hands, putting students in this mindset to start will be a good basis. I also want to put them in the mindset that although the British technically “won” in the end, there are several other peoples who contributed in creating Canada’s identity. Curriculum Expectations 1. I am going to be teaching early Canadian settlers, and as such this lesson will be addressing key factors leading to Canada’s colonization. By the end of this class, students will be able to see emerging themes, concepts and peoples being explored in the rest of the unit. 2. I will largely be dealing with Historical Significance in this lesson, as we are exploring events on the cusp of a massive shift in events that lead to how Canada is today.

  • Saint Croix Island International Historic Site: a Brief Historical Background
    History - 2 Saint Croix Island International Historic Site: A Brief Historical Background Saint Croix Island International Historic Site, located along the U.S.A.- Canada border in Maine, commemorates the founding of one of the earliest sites of European settlement in North America. In 1604, a group of 79 French colonists, led by the Sieur de Mons and cartographer, Samuel Champlain, built a tiny settlement and overwintered on the island. The results were disastrous, with nearly half the colonists dying of scurvy. However, the effort, together with the subsequent relocation of the settlement at Port Royal, marked the beginning of a continuous French presence in North America. The island itself was already known and used by the Wapaponiyik (or Waponahki) First Peoples of the region, who helped the French and taught them how to survive in the unfamiliar climate and territory. A note on names The French colonists of 1604 named the Island “Isle Sainte Croix”. The official name in English is Saint Croix Island (although you sometimes see it as Sainte Croix Island), which is abbreviated as St. Croix Island. The Island has had many different names over the centuries. The original Passamaquoddy name is thought to be “Muttoneguis”; earlier this century, the island was known locally as Dochet Island. There are many different spellings of the name of Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. In the journal translations, it is spelled Monts. However, the US National Park Services uses the spelling “Mons” as this is considered the closest form to the 17th century French. When the cartographer Champlain came to Saint Croix Island, he had not yet achieved fame.

  • A Canadian Thanksgiving
    A Canadian Thanksgiving The First Thanksgiving In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October. The first Thanksgiving was observed around 1578. Martin Frobisher, an English navigator who, like many other early explorers, was searching for a Northwest Passage to the Orient and for riches in the form of gold or spices, anchored his ships in Frobisher Bay— between the islands of Baffin and what is now Newfoundland. He established a settlement and held the first Thanksgiving in Newfoundland to celebrate surviving the long sea journey. Note that this Canadian Thanksgiving predated the Thanksgiving celebrated by the Pilgrims and Native Americans in what is now Massachusetts by more than 40 years. In fact, the Native Americans’ first words to the Pilgrims when they arrived were, “Welcome, Englishmen,” since they had learned English from fishermen and previous settlers to the New World! Other Reasons for Celebration In the early 1600s, French explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived with French settlers in what is now Canada. He also held feasts of thanksgiving called the “Order of Good Cheer.” Like the Pilgrims some years later, they also shared the feast with their Native American neighbors as a token of goodwill. Other early Canadian thanksgiving celebrations honored military victories. Records from Port Royal (Nova Scotia) state that on October 10, 1710, a day of thanksgiving was held to mark the return of the town from the French to the English. In 1760, a day of thanksgiving at Halifax marked the victory of British General Jeffrey Amherst’s troops at Montreal. In 1763, Halifax celebrated the end of the Seven Years’ War with a day of thanksgiving.
