  • The Architecture of the Western Canadian Fur Trade: a Cultural-Historical Perspective
    The Architecture of the Western Canadian Fur Trade: A Cultural-Historical Perspective flenry Glassie, in a classic study of Middle Virginia folk housing, wrote: Any artifact that can be provided with association in space and time, either by being accompanied by a document or better-as with gravestones or buildings- by being set into the land, is a valuable source of a great quantity of information.1 There is in architecture a set of complex cultural meanings, or "informa­ tion." Humans use architecture to cope with their environment and their economies, and to support their traditions and beliefs. It also influences people's perception of their physical and social environment. Western Canadian fur trade architecture, which forms the basis of this study, contains information about an early Canadian way of life. Its raw simplicity is a statement about the harsh conditions of the early western Canadian frontier. But fur trade architecture changed through time and space, and was linked to variable economic or social conditions in the fur trade. It is a measure of cultural change, and this truly makes it a valuable source of information about the past. In this study I assess fur trade architecture in western Canada from about 1780 to 1900. First, the basic elements of fur trade architecture are summarized. Next, how those architectural elements are related to the economics and organization of the fur trade are reviewed. Finally, the relationship between architectural elements and the regional and cor­ porate structure of the fur trade are explored. In particular, I examine how and why fur trade architecture is related to regional and occupational inequality.

  • The Navigation of the Nonsuch, 1668-69 William Glover
    The Navigation of the Nonsuch, 1668-69 1 The Navigation of the Nonsuch, 1668-69 William Glover An element of risk is a component of all venture capital. As investors today carefully analyze the nature of risk before taking part in a new start-up business, so it is reasonable to suppose that the backers of the 1668 voyage of the Nonsuch to Hudson Bay, that led to the charter of the Hudsons Bay Company, made their own form of risk appraisal. The proposal for the voyage was made by Mèdard Chouart Des Groseilliers and his younger brother-in-law, Pierre Radisson. Frustrated by regulations in New France that prevented them from trapping in what they were sure would be the fur-rich regions of James Bay, they made their way first to New England. There they met Captain Zachariah Gillam but were unsuccessful in getting to the Hudson Bay region by sea. Together, the three men went to England in search of backers. Economic historians of the fur trade, using period data of costs and prices, have made extensive studies of its profitability. Historians have, however, largely ignored one specific category of risk - the hazard of navigation. Although the actual record of loss would seem to support assumptions of the safe arrival of trading goods in North America and of the return of the furs for satisfactory sale, it is unfortunate for it trivializes the risk and the enormous human endeavour that was necessary to ensure those safe passages. Indeed, the first voyage of the Nonsuch under Captain Zachariah Gillam was much more a voyage into the unknown than is commonly supposed.

    P-346 INUIT PIRRUSINGIT THE INUIT WAYS 2 Inuit of Canada GROWING UP INUK • Being an Inuk (Inuit) • Sauniq, Being Born, Being Named • Sanajik, Arnaqutik TIVI ETOK OF KANGIQSUALUJJUAQ BORN 1928 “I was at an age where a lot of my first big catches were to be my first. They were cut up and shared among a family, including the pelts and furs of seal and caribou. (…) And this Inuit practice seems to be disappearing because of the many things that are around today. In the absence of my arnaqutik, others would tell me things like ‘Wish you success in your future hunts’, or ‘Stay on course, you will do fine!’. This is the good part of the tradition, and there was more: ‘Wishing you prosperity’, ‘Feed the people and you will be rewarded substantially’. But if one was selfish and did not wish to part with one’s first catch one might see his luck change from good hunting to having trouble finding any animals despite best efforts. That is the message, and it is not complicated.” IKAJURTIGIINNIQ THE IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO THOSE IN NEED, HELPING OTHERS, SHARING, OBEDIENCE ILIRA ORDER AND DISORDER Puvirnituq 1950s A group of Inuit, Qilalugarsiuvik, Little Whale River, 1865 Photo: George Simpson McTavish, Library and Archives Canada.
