Welcome to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

by Norma (Wintermute) Marchant

Once you arrive in Cape Breton, you will see the phrase, “Ciad Mille Failte!” on signage throughout the island. This is an important message to visitors. It is in the Gaelic language and translated it means, “100,000 Welcomes!” My husband, Bill, and I

look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful island, which has been our chosen home for the past 26 years.

The earliest occupants on the island that today is called, Cape Breton Island, were members of the Mi’kmaq Nation. The Mi’kmaq were nomadic people, moving from place to place hunting, fishing and gathering. The name Baddeck is thought to

come from a Mi’kmaq term Ebedeck which means “place with an island nearby”.

The first European settlers arrived on the island early in the 17th century. They were French and were attracted here by the fish

that swarmed in the waters off of the coast. It is thought that Portuguese and French fishermen were sailing to Canada’s east

coast regularly to fish in the summer months long before Columbus arrived in the New World. The French soon realized that the island occupied a strategic location at the mouth of the St Lawrence River, the easiest northerly route to the interior of the North American continent. To guard the entrance to the St. Lawrence, the fortified city of Louisbourg began to be developed in 1713. It was situated on the shores of an excellent harbour and its purpose was to provide a base for the French fleet and to protect French fishermen along the coast from the English who had settled the east coast further south. Louisbourg eventually became the largest fortified city in North America. However, near constant war with England resulted in the fortress finally surrendering to the English in 1758, after a lengthy siege. Cape Breton Island thus became the property of the English crown. Fortress Louisbourg was eventually demolished and remained a rubble heap until 1961 when the Canadian government began to reconstruct parts of the long gone city. Today the site is a National Park with reconstruction of about 1/3 of the original town and it is well worth a visit.

Baddeck‘s earliest European settler was James Duffus who settled here, on Mutton Island, in 1819. James and his wife conducted

a mercantile business from the island until his death in 1833. William Kidston arrived in Baddeck two years later to assist the widow Duffus in conducting trade from the island, and one year later he and the widow Duffus were wed. Shortly after the wedding, the island was renamed Kidston Island.

In the mid to late 1800’s, there were people from the highlands of Scotland who were forced to leave their homeland. Many

came to Cape Breton, bringing with them their culture and music. The Gaelic language, although not now commonly used, is alive and well here in Cape Breton, thanks in no small part to the Gaelic College which will be part of our road tour next July.

The greeting “Ciamar a tha sibh?” (How are you?) and response “ Tha mi glé mhath.” (I'm very well) are often still heard on our

sidewalks. Baddeck grew as the commercial and political centre for the farmers and fishermen who were moving in to settle the surrounding area. By 1870, the population of the village was near 1800, almost twice as many as live year-round in the village today. The history of Baddeck would not be complete without mention of Alexander Graham Bell, who was born in Scotland, emigrated to Brantford, Ontario as a young man with his parents, and went on to fame as inventor of the telephone. He, too, chose Cape Breton as his home and was a part time resident of Baddeck from 1885 until his death in 1922. His life and work is honoured at the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site which will also be featured in our road tour. Our village, once dependent on shipbuilding, mercantilism, and agriculture, is now a more tranquil place with the economy dependent on tourism. Thousands of visitors come each year to enjoy the natural beauty of the area, and the hospitality of the island. We look forward to your visit here for the Windemuth reunion in 2017.

Anna Clair (Wintermute) Lane, 1913

Continued from Page 1

  • Franklin, Anna, Franklin Jr. Lane, 1902
  • Secretary Franklin Lane

Franklin Lane was named to the Interstate Commerce Commission in December 1905 by Theodore Roosevelt, but before his appointment San Francisco suffered a severe earthquake on April 18, 1906. Appointed by the Mayor to the Committee of Fifty to deal the aftermath, he personally fought

the fires and helped save the Western Addition. Shortly afterwards Nancy’s

family moved to Washington D.C. and on July 2, 1906 her father was sworn in as a commissioner of the ICC.

Her father’s political career continued upward, becoming Chairman of the

ICC in January 1913 and then appointed by the newly elected President Wilson as Secretary of the Interior in March 1913. Franklin helped establish the U.S. National Parks, along with other cabinet members who urged for the American intervention in the war.

Anna Clair (Wintermute) Lane was the supportive wife and mother to Nancy and Franklin Jr. as they grew up in our nations capital. Being the wife of a cabinet member, she associated with the elite of Washington as well as her children.

Nancy also assisted her father at the office and in May 1913, she interceded for the visiting Indians. In a Washington Times Newspaper article, dated

May 13, 1913, titled “Pretty Nancy Lane, White Pocahontas”. Passing cen-

turies have made conditions exactly reversed, Pocahontas interceded with her father and his powerful tribe for a handful of white men, now Miss Lane white maiden, is interceding with the powerful white chiefs for the better

protection of a few red men. Nancy and President Wilson’s voices were

recorded by phonograph for a message to the Indians.

In May, 1914 President Wilson’s youngest daughter, Eleanor Randolph Wilson, mar-

ried William Gibbs McAdoo, who at that time was Secretary of State. Nancy Lane was one of two flower girls, and she preceded Eleanor and President Wilson down the aisle. On October 29, 1919 Nancy and her bother Franklin Jr. were seen at the St. Marks Café with Prince Leopold of England. The Prince had sprung a ruse while dinning at the home of Secretary of State Lansing, he complained of feeling ill and retired only to show up at the café later.

Nancy Lane married Philip Christopher Kauffmann on April 20 1920. Philip’s father,

Victor Kauffmann was part owner and was the first president of the Washington Star Newspaper in D.C. They had one child, Franklin Lane Kauffmann, born July 24, 1921 and died May 24, 1988. They separated a few years later and she and her mother moved back to California.

Franklin Lane remained as Secretary of the Interior until he resigned in February 1920. Under his administration our National Parks were created, he helped guide the nation during World War I and opened his home to veterans convalescing from the war. Franklin died on May 18 1921 in Rochester, MN., following surgery and heart failure. It was said by many newspapers that if Franklin had been born in the United States he would have been elected President.

Anna Clair (Wintermute) Lane Died on November 25, 1957 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Nancy Lane passed away in August 1968 in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Franklin Arthur Knight Jr. died on Jan 21 1972 in Washington D.C.

    AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF NATIVE AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE UNITED ST ATES by CARY MICHAEL CARNEY Bachelor of Arts University of Tulsa Tulsa, Oklahoma 1969 Master of Business Administration Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1992 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION May, 1998 COPYRIGHT By Cary Michael Carney May, 1998 AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF NATIVE AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES Thesis Approved Thesis Advisor oer;(H~ ii PREFACE Many phases of Native American education have been given extensive and adequate historical treatment. Works are plentiful on the boarding school program, the mission school efforts, and other select aspects of Native American education. Higher education for Indians, however, has received little attention. Select articles, passages, and occasional chapters touch on it, but usually only regarding selected topics or as an adjunct to education in general. There is no thorough and comprehensive history of Native American higher education in the United States. It is hoped this study will satisfy such a need, and prompt others to strive to advance knowledge and analysis in this area and to improve on what is presented here. The scope of this study is higher education for the Indian community, specifically within the continental United States, from the age of discovery to the present. Although, strictly speaking, the colonial period predates the United States, the society and culture of the nation as well as several of its more prominent universities stem from that period.

OSBORNE PRESENTED TO THE ACADEMY AT THE ANNUAL MEETING, 1943 It was the intention that this Biographical Memoir would be written jointly by the present author and the late Dr. Bancroft Gherardi. The scope of the memoir and plan of work were laid out in cooperation with him, but Dr. Gherardi's untimely death prevented the proposed collaboration in writing the text. The author expresses his appreciation also of the help of members of the Bell family, particularly Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, and of Mr. R. T. Barrett and Mr. A. M. Dowling of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company staff. The courtesy of these gentlemen has included, in addition to other help, making available to the author historic documents relating to the life of Alexander Graham Bell in the files of the National Geographic Society and in the Historical Museum of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL 1847-1922 BY HAROLD S. OSBORNE Alexander Graham Bell—teacher, scientist, inventor, gentle- man—was one whose life was devoted to the benefit of mankind with unusual success.
