The Northerner The Northerner Number 93 Summer 2014 Newsletter of the Northern Canada Study Group NWT Yukon Labrador Early Manitoba, Northern Ontario, & BC A Study Group of the Postal History Society of Canada Editor: Gray Scrimgeour, #570 – 188 Douglas Street, Victoria, B.C. V8V 2P1 [email protected] Greetings members, and other postal historians. Summer is winding down, so it’s time to prepare a Northerner. I did not receive many submissions over the summer, so many of the items in this issue are my own material―many of them are recent purchases. Please send me 300 dpi colour scans of your new covers for the next issue. Souvenir of the Alaska Highway. For the cover page, here’s a litho card I have not seen before. John Cheramy has supplied this view. The map of the highway goes north from Edmonton to Fairbanks. There is no publisher’s name on the card. 2828 Item 2070. Lake Harbour – 1934 This cover has been shown in black and white (Item 1250, p. 1733) but it is worth repeating in colour. It’s owned by John Pollard. It was posted at Lake Harbour on August 22, 1934 and carried south in the Nascopie. No backstamps. Item 2071. Alexandra Fiord – 1961 Here’s a philatelic cover from a post office seldom seen: Alexandria Fiord, on the east coast of Ellesmere Island. The circle datestamp reads AM / March 30 / 1961. [I certainly don’t think there’d have been a PM dispatch there on March 30.] 2829 Item 2072. Klondike Advertising from Seattle – 1897. Here’s a Klondike advertising cover I had not seen previously. It was mailed to Ferndale, Washington by the Law Office of Allen & Allen, Seattle on November 30, 1897. The Ferndale postmark is November 1―an error for December 1. Note that “Seattle supplies the best. It is the Outfitting port for gold fields”. 2830 Item 2073. Old Crow – 1957 and 1965. Here are two covers from Old Crow, Yukon. The upper cover has a return address of: Cat. [Capt.?] R.R. Gordon, RCMP, Old Crow, YT. and was postmarked at Fort Yukon, Alaska on January 14, 1957. Until the Old Crow post office opened in 1959, mail was collected at the RCMP post and then flown to Fairbanks via Fort Yukon. Such mail was franked with US postage stamps. The lower cover was mailed to Box 246, Whitehorse on 5 /6/ 65 and readdressed to General Delivery. Note the General Delivery / Whitehorse, Y.T. box. Item XXXX. P/Cs from Cheramy 4 of them. In Scans for 92 file 2831 Item 2074. Cover to Regina, N.W.T. – 1883. This cover is early mail to Regina. It was mailed on May 2, 1883 at Glencoe, Illinois addressed to Rev. John Anderson, Regina, Manitoba [sic], N.W.T. The best part of this cover is its backstamp: REGINA, N.W.T. May 6, 1883. Response (or lack thereof) to Item 2046. L.J. De Nobele picture post cards. No one has written me about these picture post cards. I have watched for them since May, and have been able to buy only one card (a variety) that was not in Don Kaye’s album. Please let me know if you have any of these cards. 2832 Item 2075. Yellowknife and Port Radium covers – September 16, 1946. I purchased these two related covers―from Yellowknife and Port Radium―at a recent bourse here in Victoria. Apparently the addressee wanted N.W.T. postmarks, and sent these covers to himself. He probably returned to Manitoba before before his Port Radium cover was delivered in Yellowknife. 5873 used Dawson Jan 13/1913 Japanese Bazaar. Pub. Dawson, Y.T. Canada Litho 2833 Item 2076. Yellowknife Sub. No. 1 – 1956 and 1983. This AR (Acknowledgment of Receipt for registered mail) card was used on April 3, 1956 at Yellowknife’s Sub Post Office No. 1 to accompany a registered letter to Archie Manderville, Yellowknife. It was accepted by Manderville on April 14 and stamped with Yellowknife’s MOTO on April 14. It would then have been returned to the sender. 2834 This picture post card showing the “C” shaft headframe of the Giant Yellowknife Mines Ltd. was mailed to Hong Kong at Yellowknife Sub No. 1 on August 2, 1983. The writer was continuing on to a camp when the weather improved. 2835 Item 2077. Three Yukon Real-Photo Picture Post Cards. I had not seen any of these cards before I bought them at our recent bourse. I couldn’t find any of them in Ken Elder’s catalogue, probably because they were published too recently. The first is a card showing “Water Front, Mayo, Y.T.” It was copyrighted by G.A. McIntyre. The second card is Dedman D-175: “Whitehorse from the Airport”. It’s on Kodak Paper. 2836 My third card shows the Palace Grand Theatre, Historic Site, Dawson, Yukon. None of the cards were used. Item 2078. England to Manitowaning, Ontario via Winnipeg. – 1881. This cover was mailed to Manitowaning, Manitoulin Island at Manchester, England on July 5, 1881. It bears a Winnipeg backstamp dated July 20 and a faint receiver dated July 28. The seller suggested that the dispatch through Winnipeg was because a postal clerk mistook Manitowaning for Manitoba. However, I have another cover from Britain to Northern Ontario that also transited Winnipeg. It also went by closed bag from Britain to Winnipeg, which was the sorting 2837 point for all mail for western Canada. The postal clerk probably bagged this letter as directed for Algoma, Northern Ontario―a scarce destination from Manchester. Item 2079. Manitowaning to Clifford, Canada West – 1865. This stampless envelope (PAID 5 cents) was mailed to Rev. James Smithurst, Treasurer of Minto, Clifford P.O., Wellington County, C.W. (Canada West; i.e., Ontario) at Manitowaning. There is a pale red strike of the MANITOWANING - LAKE HURON broken circle postmark at the lower left of the envelope dated 1864 / JY 25. The date should have been JA because the letter was written Jan’y 10th and there is a February 12, 1865 Penetanguishene transit mark and a February 14, 1865 Elora receiver. The enclosed letter tells us that Rev. J.W. Sims had accepted the Indian Mission in Manitoulin Island at the special request of Dr. O’Mara, who had spent many years there. Sims was busy learning Ojibway. He wishes to know what taxes are owing on a lot that he owns in Minto. The addressee―Rev. John Smithurst (1807–1867)―had retired from his ministry at the Red River Colony. He arrived from England in Rupert’s Land in September 1839, and was sent in 1840 to the Indian mission near Grand Rapids (St. Andrews), where he served as a missionary of the English Church Mission Society. He resigned in 1851 and returned to England, but ended his days in Elora, C.W. His correspondence was found in an Elora-area antique store by the late Ron Kitchen, and has now been dispersed. The Smithurst Red River correspondence fills a big gap the postal history of Rupert’s Land. It provides examples of mail carried by the Hudson’s Bay Company expresses in the period before there was governmental mail service. The letters, of course, bear no signs of postage having been paid. It was all carried by the HBC by favour. The next item is an example. 2838 Item 2080. Fort Frances to Smithurst, Red River – 1845. This favour cover to Rev. John Smithurst, Indian Village, Red River was written at Fort Frances [on Rainy Lake] on September 20, 1845 by HBC Chief Trader Nicol Finlayson. Finlayson’s letter was folded and placed inside a folded sheet of paper. 2839 Item 2081. Two Yukon Real Photo Cards. John Cheramy supplied this scan of an unused AZO real photo post card showing the Caribou Hotel, Carcross. John also owns this unused Gowen & Sutton card entitled “Yukon Dog Team”. 2840 Item 2082. Yellowknife Aerial View. John also supplied this aerial view of Yellowknife, NWT. The card is on CKC paper, and is unused. Item 2082. Cover to Pond Inlet – 1936. Cover to Rev. J.H. Turner, Pond Inlet, Baffin Land with a Montreal return address on the back. The Nascopie oval is dated Jul 14, 1936 and the Quebec machine cancel one day later. 2841 Item 2083. Belcher Islands, Keewatin District, N.W.T. – 1960 and 1964. Belcher Islands are in the southeastern portion of Hudson Bay. The upper envelope was addressed by Josie Unarluk, with syllabics on the reverse giving the address “to the Minister, On the Islands”. This cover to Norwich, Ontario was carried by small airplane to Great Whale River, Quebec and the south by Wheeler Air Lines to Val D’Or (11 V/1960) and Normétal (13 MY/1960). The lower Belcher Islands cover was mailed at the Hudson’s Bay Co. post on Tukarak Island in Hudson Bay. It entered the regular mail stream at Great Whale River, Quebec on May 5, 1964. 2842 Item 2084. To Manitoba House, N.W.T. – 1875. Here’s September 7, 1875 cover from London, England to Manitoba House, located on the west side of Lake Manitoba, approximately 25 miles north of the Manitoba border then. That places Manitoba House in the unorganized North West Territories. Postage was 4½d. The cover travelled to Boston by ship, and then to Montreal (September 20). Next it went to Fort Garry via Windsor, Ontario and St. Paul. There was a trail to Oak Point, Manitoba (on the east side of Lake Manitoba―just south of the northern border of Manitoba).

  • 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.
