LII 12 May 2010 Address by Professor Zinaida Gimpelevich, the President of the Canadian Association of Slavists: Dear colleagues, members, and friends of the Canadian Association of Slavists (CAS), Let me greet you all. I am happy to confirm once again that, thanks to your ongoing support on every level and on every issue, the Canadian Association of Slavists is a solid, healthy, and diverse organization that strongly represents Canadian academia nationally and internationally. We are working truly amicably together. During the last academic year I took part in five international scholarly events and worked closely on your behalf with the Canadian Federation of the Humanities and Social Sciences. Besides my own presentations at these academic venues, I looked intently at other Slavic and non-Slavic academic organizations: their academic and teaching activities, numbers and percentage of academic ranks, students‘ ratio and participation, age groups, and gender. My conclusion is that CAS has a reason to stand tall because our standards and achievements are high. We teach and study to the best of our abilities, and our publications are well received around the globe. Our members receive promotions and get recognition at their own institutions, nationally and internationally. Let me give you just a few examples. Dr. Natalia Pylypiuk has been promoted to the rank of full professor (Congratulations, Natalia!). Dr. David Marples was elected as the President of NAAB (North American Association of Belarusists; Congratulations, David!).

  • Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999
    Spirit Wrestling Identity Conflict and the Canadian “Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999 By Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © by Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff, 2011 Spirit Wrestling: Identity Conflict and the Canadian “Doukhobor Problem,” 1899-1999 Ashleigh Brienne Androsoff Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, University of Toronto, 2011 ABSTRACT At the end of the nineteenth century, Canada sought “desirable” immigrants to “settle” the Northwest. At the same time, nearly eight thousand members of the Dukhobori (commonly transliterated as “Doukhobors” and translated as “Spirit Wrestlers”) sought refuge from escalating religious persecution perpetrated by Russian church and state authorities. Initially, the Doukhobors’ immigration to Canada in 1899 seemed to satisfy the needs of host and newcomer alike. Both parties soon realized, however, that the Doukhobors’ transition would prove more difficult than anticipated. The Doukhobors’ collective memory of persecution negatively influenced their perception of state interventions in their private affairs. In addition, their expectation that they would be able to preserve their ethno-religious identity on their own terms clashed with Canadian expectations that they would soon integrate into the Canadian mainstream. This study focuses on the historical evolution of the “Doukhobor problem” in Russia and in Canada. It argues that

Dunae, Department of History Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr. John Lutz, Department of History Supervisor Dr. Eric W. Sager, Department of History Departmental Member Dr. Patrick A. Dunae, Department of History Departmental Member In the years between 1789 and 1792 the shores of what is now British Columbia were opened to European scrutiny by a series of mostly Spanish expeditions. As the coastline was charted and explored by agents of European empires, the Pacific Northwest captured the attention of Europe. In order to carry out these explorations the Spanish relied on what turned out to be an experiment in ‗gentle‘ imperialism that depended on the support of the indigenous ―colonized‖. This thesis examines how the Spanish envisioned their imperial space on the Northwest Coast and particularly how that space was shaped through the exploration of the Salish Sea.

This is the second revised state of the map, which was first surveyed in 1858 and the first edition of the map printed in 1864, with revisions in February and March of 1865, as the British Royal Navy began to complete its relocation from Valparaiso, Chile, to Constance Cove. The Boundary of the Admiralty Lands are shown, as are the recently constructed Naval Hospital, Boat House, Naval Stores and other recently constructed naval facilities. Thetis Island also appears, named for one of the first British naval ships to arrive to the region in 1852. Forsters Pier is also shown, along with the Road to Victoria. The first Europeans to reach Esquimalt were the Spanish expedition of Manuel Quimper in the Princesa Real in 1790, with Gonzalo López de Haro and Juan Carrasco. Quimper entered and carefully mapped Esquimalt Harbor. Quimper claimed the region for Spain and placed a wooden cross on a hill.

  • Joseph Whidbey State Park
    JOSEPH WHIDBEY STATE PARK A Cascadia Marine Trail Site History Honoring over 5,000 Years of Marine Travel The Cascadia Marine Trail site at Joseph Whidbey State Park is located about half way between Deception Pass and Point Partridge on the west side of Whidbey Island, just south of Rocky Point and Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. It is open to west wind and waves sweeping in through the Strait of Juan de Fuca but, with a public sandy beach, it is one of the few available landing sites on northwest Whidbey. Coast Salish Indians that lived throughout Puget Sound before white settlement hunted and gathered berries and other plants in the area. They managed the vegetation with intentional fires and some cultivation to encourage the growth of camas, nettles, bracken, and other edible plants. Game, fish, and edible plants were so abundant that the Indians in the area never experienced famine. The first Europeans to explore the west side of Whidbey were Spaniards of the Quimper Expedition of 1790. Manual Quimper sent his second pilot, Juan Carrasco, to explore the area, but the Spaniards did not linger long or venture far. They saw Admiralty Inlet and Deception Pass but thought they were closed inlets. Captain VanCouver arrived in 1792 and explored more extensively, discovering that Admiralty Inlet led to Puget Sound. The settlers of northwest Whidbey were primarily Dutch that arrived in the 1890’s to establish dairies and farms. The land was extraordinarily fertile and the area set national records for bushels of wheat per acre. But the west shore of Whidbey became known for a different economic activity: smuggling.
