    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

(HOI S.) ~- ··- 223870 A GRAVITY SURVEY OF EASTERN NOTRE DAME BAY, NEWFOUNDLAND by @ HUGH G. MILLER, B.Sc. {HCNS.) .. Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland. July 20, 1970 11 ABSTRACT A gravity survey was undertaken on the archipelago and adjacent coast of eastern Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. A total of 308 gravity stations were occupied with a mean station spacing of 2,5 km, and 9 gravity sub-bases were established. Elevations for the survey were determined by barometric and direct altimetry. The densities of rock samples collected from 223 sites were detenmined. A Bouguer anomaly map was obtained and a polynomial fitting technique was employed to determine the regional contribution to the total Bouguer anomaly field. Residual and regional maps based on a fifth­ order polynomial were obtained. Several programs were written for the IBM 360/40 computer used in this and model work. Three-dimensional model studies were carried out and a satisfactory overall fit to the total Bouguer field was obtained. Several shallow features of the anomaly maps were found to correlate well with surface bodies, i.e. granite or diorite bodies. Sedimentary rocks had little effect on the gravity field. The trace of the Luke's Arm fault was delineated. The following new features we r~ discovered: (1) A major structural discontinuity near Change Islands; (2) A layer of relatively high ·density (probably basic to ultrabasic rock) at 5 - 10 km depth.

  • The Fogo Island Cooperative Society and Its Workers: Lessons from the Fishery”
    The Fogo Island Cooperative Society and its Workers: Lessons from the Fishery” by Judy and Larry Haiven, Saint Mary's University for the Symposium “The Co-operative and its Workers” June 15-17, 2006 Introduction This story plays itself out against the background of an industry and a province torn by economic crisis. Fogo is the largest of the smaller islands of Newfoundland, found off the northeast coast. It is approximately 254 sq km (approximately 15 x 15 km if the island were an exact square). The current population is 2800; the population before the collapse of the cod fishery in 1992 was almost twice that. The story of the Fogo Island Cooperative Society began in 1967 while the cod fishery was still viable, but first a bit of history just for context. Tradition from the 15th to the 19th century was that small groups of fisher people (English and Irish with a smattering of Portuguese, Basque and French) would set up a village in a friendly cove where they would fish the sea (primarily of the more-than-plentiful cod) and live very independently. Most of the fishing was close to shore, hence the “inshore fishery.” When the cove and the land surrounding it proved too small to provide for the growing community, a group would pick up and move to another location. Thus emerged a series of small fishing villages strung out along the rocky coastline, which, depending on how closely you track all of the inlets and headlands, is as “short” as 9,000 km or as long as 17,000 km.

  • The Places of Bay Roberts
    1 2 COVES, STREETS, FIELDS AND MORE: The Places of Bay Roberts Researched & Written by: Folklore Graduate Field School Class of 2017 Edited by: Katherine Harvey Oral History Roadshow Series #005 Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador Intangible Cultural Heritage Office St. John’s, NL, Canada Layout / design by Jessie Meyer 2018 3 INTRODUCTION The recollections in this booklet were recorded by students in Memorial University’s Folklore Department. For three weeks in September 2017, Memorial’s newest folklore graduate students arriving from Northern Ontario, all parts of the United States, Iran, and Israel, were transplanted to Bay Roberts to participate in a cultural documentation field school: a required course that takes place at the start of the first semester of the graduate program. The field school participants were warmly welcomed by local residents, and this booklet is both a “give back” to the community, as well as a product of what the students learned. The academic goals of the field school are for students to learn first-hand about cultural documentation: techniques of audio-recorded interviewing, ethnographic observation, writing fieldnotes, documentary photography, video-recording, organizing and archiving field data, analysing field data, and public presentation skills. In addition to skills and techniques, students learn to work in teams, to meet new people, and to recognize local traditions and culture— this is at the heart of folklore fieldwork. The warmth with which we were welcomed to Bay Roberts—from the very first day was a highlight. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, but students enjoyed the “Toutons and Tunes” walking tour, which ended in the Red Shed (a special place indeed!) with tea, toutons, scrunchions, crab legs, and traditional tunes—what a delicious introduction! Over the course of the next three weeks, students were invited into people’s homes, where they shared cups of tea, baked goods, 4 and stories.

  • Labrador Fishery for “Culture Days” 2010
    Labrador Fishery for “Culture Days” 2010 The salt-cod fishery was at one time essential to Newfoundland and Labrador’s economy. The Labrador Fishery began to become prominent in the 1820s, when increasing numbers of fishers started migrating to Labrador to fish each summer. Those who travelled to Labrador had to spend weeks or even months away from home. As a result, some fishers brought their families with them; this was both for company and to help cure the catch. Stationers and Floaters The Labrador fishery consisted of two groups of workers: stationers and floaters. Islanders who set up living quarters on the shore of Labrador and fished each day in small boats were known as stationers, while floaters lived on board their vessels and sailed up and down the Labrador coast, often travelling further north than stationers. Floaters packed their fish in salt and brought it back to Newfoundland at the end of each season to be dried there, while stationers salted and cured their fish on shore shortly after catching it. Both methods had their drawbacks. Labrador’s damp weather often resulted in a poorer cure, while floaters risked damaging their catch during the long voyage home. Sharemen Fishers going to Labrador could work as sharemen who shared profits from the fishing venture. In a floater enterprise, sharemen prepared the vessels and gear for the Labrador fishery, starting in early May. When the fishery ended, usually in October each year, the catch from the voyage was shared. Half the catch went to the vessel owner to pay for expenses; the other half was equally distributed among the sharemen.
