In 1800, the Provincial Academy of Arts and Science became the College of New Brunswick. King's College was established at Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1828 under the control of the Church of England. King's College offered the first engineering course taught at a Canadian university in 1854. In 1858 it was made non-sectarian under the designation of the University of New Brunswick. In 1859, it became the non- denominational University of New Brunswick. The governance of UNB was modeled on the provincial University of Toronto Act of 1906 which established a bicameral system of university government consisting of a senate (faculty) responsible for academic policy, and a board of governors (citizens) exercising exclusive control over financial policy and having formal authority in all other matters.

  • Aigles Bleus Crushed by Powerful UNB Reds
    17 janvier 2019 – Times & Transcript Aigles Bleus crushed by powerful UNB Reds TIMES & TRANSCRIPT The University of New Brunswick Reds are the top-ranked team in all of Canadian university men’s hockey. The Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus found out why on Wednesday. The Reds scored four first-period goals en route to crushing the visiting Aigles Bleus 10-0 in an Atlantic University Sport conference game at the Aitken University Centre in Fredericton. UNB, which improved its conference-leading record to 19-1-3, was coming off its first regulation time loss of the season in its previous game. Kris Bennett scored a power-play goal at 8:45 of the first period and Matthew Boucher struck with a short-handed marker five minutes later to get the Reds off and running. They never slowed down. The Reds got back-to-back goals from Mark Rassell and Joe Gatenby just 29 seconds apart late in the first period, and the rout was on. They added four goals in the second period and completed the evening with two more in the third. UNB outshot Moncton 52-17. The Aigles Bleus - tied with the St. Francis Xavier X-Men for third place in the AUS and winners of three of their previous four games - slipped to 11-9-3 on the season. Moncton, which beat UNB in a shootout on home ice in the first semester, hasn’t won at the Aitken University Centre since October, 2012. “We need to forget this game quickly,” dejected Aigles Bleus head coach Judes Vallée said following the game.

  • Gathering Birch and Birch Bark
    Birch and Birch Bark by John Zasada, USDA Forest Service All species of trees that we most commonly think of as "timber species" have potential commodity values, often referred to as non-timber forest products (NTFP) or special forest products, that are not necessarily related to wood and fiber products. Some of these NTFP values are recognized and commercially important and others are secreted in the history of Native Americans and other people who at one time in their past depended on natural products for their physical and spiritual well-being. Paper birch is one example of a species that was an important part of Native American culture and has considerable potential for NTFP. Before discussing NTFP from birch, we need to consider the potential for multiple products from this tree and from birch forests. The diagram below illustrates the potential product available from a birch stand as it develops through time. Admittedly, this is an idealized view of the potential. However, there are examples of uses of birch for each of the products indicated in the diagram. There has never been a plan to attempt to harvest all of these products from birch trees and stands in the same geographic area. Northern Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan would provide a good area to test these ideas. The two main products harvested from birch without killing the tree are sap and bark and, to a very minor extent, the roots. The method of collecting birch sap is generally similar to that of maple. Birch sap differs significantly, however, from maple in that it has simple sugars (glucose and fructose) rather than the more complex sugars of maple (sucrose).

As time passed, man designed increasingly complex tools whose production implied a decreasing amount of energy. The aim of the present research was to determine if this evolution, which occurred in parallel to the sedentary process, also affected architecture, specifically if it can be detected on traditional dwellings, particularly in those built by the Native American Indians during the pre-Columbian period. Due to their great diversity, since both nomad and sedentary models can be found among them, and to the available information about their morphology and technical characteristics, these models offer a unique opportunity to study the consequences of this process for architecture.

  • Traditional Native American Homes
    Non-fiction: Native Americans – Traditional Native American Homes Native Americans Traditional Native American Homes Illustration by Lynn M. Hanousek Many people have heard of cone-shaped tepees. They are probably the most well-recognized traditional Native American home. However, traditional Native American houses came in many other shapes and sizes. On the Northwest coast, tribes lived in slant-roofed houses. These houses were built out of cedar planks1. The houses were huge – around 40 feet wide and 10 feet high. The Iroquois built even bigger houses. They were called longhouses. Longhouses were about 100 feet long. There was enough room in them for a large extended family2. Parents, children, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins all lived together. No one was left out. In California, most tribes dwelled in simpler houses. Small shelters were covered in earth or brush. Other California tribes built redwood plank houses. 1 planks: long wide rectangular pieces of wood 2 extended family: not just parents and children but also uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents 1 © 2012 ReadWorks®, Inc.

They were made out of stone or adobe. Adobe is a clay mixture. It is usually made into bricks. The bricks are dried in the sun. In the Midwest, around the Great Lakes, women were in charge of building wigwams. Even the young girls made tiny wigwams for their dolls. Wigwams are tent-like houses. They have frames1 made of wooden poles. A lot of these tribes moved from place to place.
