Edmund Morris Among the Saskatchewan Indians and the Fort Qu'appelle Monument
EDMUND MORRIS AMONG THE SASKATCHEWAN INDIANS AND THE FORT QU'APPELLE MONUMENT By Jean McGill n 1872 the government of Canada appointed Alexander Morris the first Chief Justice of Manitoba. The same year he succeeded A. G. Archibald as Lieu I tenant-Governor of Manitoba and the North-West Territories. Archibald had already acted as a commissioner of the federal government in negotiating Treaties Nos. 1 and 2 with the Indians of Manitoba. Morris was com missioned in 1873 to carry on negotiations with Indians of the western plains and some Manitoba Indians not present at the first two treaties. By the time Alexander Morris's term of office had expired in 1877 he had negotiated the signing of Treaties No. 3 (North-West Angle), 4 (Fort Qu'Appelle), 5 (Lake Winnipeg), 6 (Forts Carlton and Pitt), and the Revision of Treaties Nos. 1 and 2. Morris later documented the meetings, negotiations, and wording of all of the treaties completed prior to 1900 in a book entitled The Treaties of Canada with the Indians ofManitoba and the North west Territories which was published in 1888. He returned to Toronto with his family and later was persuaded to run for office in the Ontario legislature where he represented Toronto for a number of years. Edmund Morris, youngest of a family of eleven, was born two years before the family went to Manitoba. Indian chiefs and headmen in colourful regalia frequently came to call on the Governor and as a child at Government House in Winnipeg, Edmund was exposed to Indian culture for the Indians invariably brought gifts, often for Mrs.

An Indian Chief, an English Tourist, a Doctor, a Reverend, and a Member of Ppparliament: the Journeys of Pasqua’S’S’S Pictographs and the Meaning of Treaty Four
The Journeys of Pasqua’s Pictographs 109 AN INDIAN CHIEF, AN ENGLISH TOURIST, A DOCTOR, A REVEREND, AND A MEMBER OF PPPARLIAMENT: THE JOURNEYS OF PASQUA’S’S’S PICTOGRAPHS AND THE MEANING OF TREATY FOUR Bob Beal 7204 76 Street Edmonton, Alberta Canada, T6C 2J5 [email protected] Abstract / Résumé Indian treaties of western Canada are contentious among historians, First Nations, governments, and courts. The contemporary written docu- mentation about them has come from one side of the treaty process. Historians add information from such disciplines as First Nations Tradi- tional Knowledge and Oral History to draw as complete a picture as possible. Now, we have an additional source of written contemporary information, Chief Pasqua’s recently rediscovered pictographs showing the nature of Treaty Four and its initial implementation. Pasqua’s ac- count, as contextualized here, adds significantly to our knowledge of the western numbered treaty process. The pictographs give voice to Chief Pasqua’s knowledge. Les traités conclus avec les Indiens de l’Ouest canadien demeurent liti- gieux pour les historiens, les Premières nations, les gouvernements et les tribunaux. Les documents contemporains qui discutent des traités ne proviennent que d’une seule vision du processus des traités. Les historiens ajoutent des renseignements provenant de disciplines telles que les connaissances traditionnelles et l’histoire orale des Autochto- nes. Ils bénéficient désormais d’une nouvelle source écrite contempo- raine, les pictogrammes récemment redécouverts du chef Pasqua, qui illustrent la nature du Traité n° 4 et les débuts de son application. Le compte rendu du chef, tel que replacé dans son contexte, est un ajout important à notre connaissance du processus des traités numérotés dans l’Ouest canadien.

One Battle at a Time
One Battle at a Time By: Brianne Fujimoto-Johnston In 1830 on an unknown date by the Belly River, a hero was born. Chief Crowfoot was born in the Blood (Kainai) tribe but grew up with the Blackfoot (Siksika). His parents gave him the name Astoxkomi (Shot Close) at birth. He was given many names over the years until he received the name Isapo-muxica meaning Crow Big Foot which was later shortened to Crowfoot. Only a few months after Crowfoot was born his father Istowun-eh’pata (Packs a Knife) died in a raid on the Crows. Crowfoot’s mother Axkahp-say-pi (Attacked towards Home) was left alone to raise her 2 children; Crowfoot and his younger brother Mexkim- aotani (Iron Shield). A few years later in 1835, Axkahp-say-pi remarried Akay-nehka-simi (Many Names). Before the age of 20, he went to battle 19 times (but unfortunately was injured 6 times). In 1865, he became the chief of the Big Pipes Band. Later in 1870, he became one of the three head chiefs of that tribe. Being the leader he was he made peace with the Cree. He later adopted a Cree named Poundmaker, who became a leader of his own people. During a Cree raid he rescued missionary Sir Albert Lacombe. Crowfoot also had 3 other children who were girls. He lost most of his kids at young ages to smallpox and tuberculosis. He had numerous wives. On September 12, 1877, Colonel Macleod and Lieutenant-Governor David Laird drew up Treaty 7. Crowfoot took a step forward and persuaded other chiefs to sign the Treaty.

David Laird of Prince Edward Island
DAVID LAIRD OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND FRANK MACKINNON HE stage of Canadian history has displayed many brilliant T actors whose names are milestones in our Dominion's progress. Their work has been recognized and their achieve ments have been honoured. But all too frequently public life is so dazzled by the bright lights that the supporting cast have not had sufficient recognition and their contributions have often been left in the pigeon-holes of the past. David Laird, a son of Prince Edward Island and prominent political figure in that province, a Minister of the Crown in the federal government, and the first Lieutenant-Governor of the Northwest Territories, is one of the secondary figures of Canadian history whose varied achievements have been almost forgotten. He had the unique experience of contributing in considerable measure to the political development of both the eastern and western parts of the Dominion. His story is that of the entry of Prince Edward Island into Confederation and the establishment of government in the Canadian West. This paper is an attempt to review the public life of this man, and to recall his achievements in the light of the history of his time. I David Laird was born in New Glasgow, P. E. I., on March 12, 1833, one of the eight children of Honourable Alexander Laird and his wife Janet Orr. The parents were closely associ ated with the early history of the Island, the father being one of the sturdy Scottish pioneers who did so much to develop a thriving colony from the wilderness, and the mother a member of one of the landlord families whose influence was a large factor thr01,lgh many years of difficulty.

TREATY 8: an Anomaly Revisited1
TREATY 8: An Anomaly Revisited1 ROBERT IRWIN egotiators from British Columbia, Canada, and the McLeod Lake Sekani initialled an agreement securing the adhesion of the McLeod Lake Sekani to Treaty 8 on 30 September N2 i999. This agreement, subject to ratification, brought to an end nearly thirteen years of litigation and, although overshadowed by the Nisga'a treaty, is another important step in settling British Columbia's Aboriginal claims. In order to understand this agreement and place it in its appropriate context, Canadians must understand the historical context for the making of Treaty 8 in British Columbia. Treaty 8, negotiated at Lesser Slave Lake in 1899, *s often lost in the important debates regarding comprehensive claims and the nature of Aboriginal title in British Columbia, and when it is discussed it receives cursory coverage.3 In the Autumn 1999 issue of BC Studies Arthur J. Ray called attention to the important place of Treaty 8 in British Columbia's history.4 After reading Professor Ray's article, however, readers may be left with the impression that the Canadian government intended to include the McLeod Lake Sekani in Treaty 8 in 1899 but failed to secure their adhesion for a century because the BC government blocked the Department of Indian Affairs (DIA).5 According to this 1 I would like to thank those colleagues who spared me a moment of their valuable time to read and comment on drafts of this paper. The opinion expressed here and any errors or omissions are the responsibility of the author. 2 A copy of the agreement can be found at http://www.aaf.gov.bc.ca/aaf/treaty/ mlfinaldraft.htm 3 An example would be Paul Tennant's, Aboriginal People and Politics: The Indian Land Question in British Columbia, 1849-1989 (Vancouver: UBC Press, 1990).
