Our Society Lacks Consistently Defined Attitudes
‘OUR SOCIETY LACKS CONSISTENTLY DEFINED ATTITUDES TOWARDS THE BLACK BEAR’: THE HISTORY OF BLACK BEAR HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT IN ONTARIO, 1912-1987 by MICHAEL COMMITO, B.A. (HONS), M.A. McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2015) Hamilton, Ontario (History) TITLE: ‘Our society lacks consistently defined attitudes towards the black bear’: The History of Black Bear Hunting and Management in Ontario, 1912-1987 AUTHOR: Michael Commito, B.A. (Hons) (Laurentian University), M.A. (Laurentian University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ken Cruikshank NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 282 ii ABSTRACT What kind of animal was a black bear? Were black bears primarily pests, pets, furbearers or game animals? Farmers, conservationists, tourists, trappers, and hunters in early twentieth- century Ontario could not agree. Even as the century progressed, ideas about bears remained twisted and there was often very little consensus about what the animal represented. These varying perceptions complicated the efforts of the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries and its successor agencies, the Department of Lands and Forests and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to develop coherent bear management policies. Perceptions about black bears often conflicted and competed with one another and at no one time did they have a single meaning in Ontario. The image of Ontario’s black bears has been continuously negotiated as human values, attitudes, and policies have changed over time. As a result, because of various and often competing perspectives, the province’s bear management program, for most of the twentieth century, was very loose and haphazard because the animal had never been uniformly defined or valued. Examining the history of these ambiguous viewpoints towards the black bear in Ontario provides us with a snapshot of how culture intersects with our natural resources and may pose challenges for management. -
Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York
Craft Masonry in Genesee & Wyoming County, New York Compiled by R.’.W.’. Gary L. Heinmiller Director, Onondaga & Oswego Masonic Districts Historical Societies (OMDHS) www.omdhs.syracusemasons.com February 2010 Almost all of the land west of the Genesee River, including all of present day Wyoming County, was part of the Holland Land Purchase in 1793 and was sold through the Holland Land Company's office in Batavia, starting in 1801. Genesee County was created by a splitting of Ontario County in 1802. This was much larger than the present Genesee County, however. It was reduced in size in 1806 by creating Allegany County; again in 1808 by creating Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Niagara Counties. Niagara County at that time also included the present Erie County. In 1821, portions of Genesee County were combined with portions of Ontario County to create Livingston and Monroe Counties. Genesee County was further reduced in size in 1824 by creating Orleans County. Finally, in 1841, Wyoming County was created from Genesee County. Considering the history of Freemasonry in Genesee County one must keep in mind that through the years many of what originally appeared in Genesee County are now in one of other country which were later organized from it. Please refer to the notes below in red, which indicate such Lodges which were originally in Genesee County and would now be in another county. Lodge Numbers with an asterisk are presently active as of 2004, the most current Proceedings printed by the Grand Lodge of New York, as the compiling of this data. Lodges in blue are or were in Genesee County. -

The Indian Law, Although a Part of the Scheme of General
LEGALIZING, DECOLONIZING, AND MODERNIZING NEW YORK STATE'S INDIAN LAW Robert B. Porter* The Indian Law, although a part of the scheme of general laws, is but a collection of special statutes relating to the several tribes of Indians remaining in the state. Following this plan an examination has been· made of all statutes relating to Indians, and such as were found to be unrepealed but superceded or obsolete have been placed in the schedule for repeal, and those remaining have been added to the law under the article relating to the particular tribe to which they apply. I INTRODUCTION One of the most vexing problems in Federal Indian Control Law is how to regulate the relationship between the Indian nations and the states. In stark contrast to the federal government's role in Indian affairs, the Constitution makes no provision for the states to exercise authority inside the Indian territory located within their borders. As a result of having territory within a state that the state cannot control, there has long been conflict between the states and the Indian nations, usually revolving around state efforts to exert authority within the Indian territory.2 These state efforts have been * Associate Professor ofLaw and Director ofthe Tribal Law and Government Center at the University of Kansas.
