In business settings, this approach is often called the “team” approach. However, the concept of a “team” is a simplification of how it actually worked at Jemseg. “Teams” are usually formal concrete working groups, usually formed to compete against other teams. Our “working together” was less formal. We were united by our desires to salvage an important site as respectfully and carefully as we could. In a basic way, the project only moved forward through the hard work and contributions of hundreds of individuals. We thank you all for your effort, courage, time, patience, and care. These contributions were often multifaceted, and many gave freely of their expertise and hidden talents in ways not initially envisaged when they came to the site. Many project members, such as John Keenan and Bazil Nash, worked tirelessly to provide information about the project to their communities, and yet were also fundamental in the group approach to solving the archaeological field work problem of working through the winter. The fieldwork was enabled by a core of archaeological supervisors, including Colin Varley, Chris Blair, Katherine Patton, Sam Gallagher, Bazil Nash, Pamela Dickinson, John Keenan, Darcy Dignam, Vincent Bourgeois, Joel Calabrese, Jason Jeandron, Michael Saunders, Shianne MacDonald, Phillip Atwin, Paul McEachan, Mike Nicholas, and field crew, including Viktoria Kramer, Frank Lewey, Jennifer Butler, Barbara Oldford, Clifton Sacobie, Elvis Sacobie, Mike Smith, Nathan Atwin, Donald Paul, Joe Brooks, the late Gerry Pickles, Philippe McKay, Alexandra Francis-Steward, Ian Steward, Wesley Atwin, Terry Smith, Carol Smith, Fred Masters, Doug Solomon, Ryan Francis, Frank Atwin, Dale Nash. The “Week-enders” filled in for us on Saturdays and Sundays, and included Patricia i KCI AKONUTOMAKONAL Important Stories and Spoken Histories Looman, Daniel MacKenzie, Larry Orechia, Starr Perley, Chkwabun Nicholas Sappier, Wade Perley, Lisa Maher, David Wilson, Chris Nason, Melanie Doerig, Sonja Harding, Brad Lamey, Cory Lavender, Randy MacBeth, Amanda White, Shelly Perley, Forest Boudreau, Alphonsus Bourgeois, Jeff Dobson, Jeremy Farris, Brent Francis, Ryan Francis, Jamie Gullison, Hazel Haneveld, Mark Hiscock, Wendy Hogan, Ben Hood, Greg Houston, Gary Jonah, Janice Keenan, Sherry Morin, Mona Nicholas, Mike Niski, Brad Paul, Karri-Lynn Paul, Richard Paul, Scott Paul, Leslie Perley, Marie Perley, Robert Perley, Danny Sabattis, Bert Sacobie, Joseph Sacobie, Paul Tomer, Janet Wainwright, and Kathy Weeks. The conservation, laboratory work and analysis was facilitated by a dedicated crew of analysts, cataloguers, technicians and a conservator. These included Frances Stewart, Alexandra Sumner, Brent Suttie, Valery Monahan, Paula Paul, Ramona Nicholas, Erica Bear, Tanya Bourgeois, Janice Keenan, Bonnie Atwin, Margaret Stennitt, Diane Paul, Wendy Hogan, David Black, and Stephen Monckton. The methodological problems were overcome by considerable brainstorming by Tim MacAfee, Bazil Nash, Phil Atwin, Frank Atwin, Dale Nash, Chris Blair, Peter Jardine, and Patrick Polchies. As the educational component of the project grew under the guidance of Karen Perley, project members offered their expertise and interest, so as to bring information about our work and New Brunswick’s Wolastoqiyik community to the public and to the large number of young people who came with school or community groups, such as Ramona Nicholas, Valery Monahan, Cynthia Adams, Teana Pickles, Shelly Perley, Tim MacAfee, Pamela Dickenson, Chris Blair, Alice Paul and Erica Bear. The site was originally found due to the diligence of Colin MacKinnon, who recovered artifacts from the beach in the early 1990s, and reported them to Archaeological Services. Volunteers came to site and contributed labour, including Stella Nicholas, Rodney Bear, Tasha Moulton, Doreen Francis, Perry Perley Jr., Mike Moulton, Carl Perley Jr., Storm Perley, Baquahason Sappier and Heather Smith. Site security and transportation was handled by a number of individuals, including Daryl Paul of Oromocto First Nation, Joe Paul, Donna Paul, The Peacekeepers, including Tina Nicholas Bernard, Raymond Nicholas and Tina Nicholas Martin, and the RCMP provided additional support to these efforts. Additional legal advice was provided by Ron Gaffney. The project was coordinated by a team consisting of Susan Blair, the field director, Karen Perley, the education coordinator, Patrick Polchies the project manager, and Chris Turnbull the director of Archaeology Branch. Together with Patricia Allen of Archaeology Branch, this group ‘liaised’ between provincial and aboriginal governments. Pat Allen also provided an important support role in the field and in the main offices of the Archaeology Branch. Further office administration was provided by Amanda Howlett, Crystall Joscak, and Ernest Merasty. ii Wolastoqiyik Ajemseg, Vol. 1 A project of this magnitude benefits from the contribution of many organizations and government offices, and we received a great deal of assistance from the New Brunswick provincial government, especially Louise Gillis, Jennifer Pollock, Marsha Hello, Shirley Phillips, Mike Randall, Sharon Pond, Wayne Burley, Denis Lachappelle, Dan Horseman, Mike Phillips, Brian McEwing, Doug Johnson, Bernard Richard (Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs, Sheldon Lee (Minister of Transportation), and Ann Breault (Minister Municipalities, Culture and Housing), as well as from the Maritime Road Development Corportation, especially Bob Burdette and Bob Hodgins. First Nations governments have contributed greatly to this project, including Karen Kierstead and Roger Nason (Oromocto First Nation), and Daryl Paul (Kingsclear First Nation), and especially the Chiefs at the time, including Chief Robert Atwin, the late Chief Rufford Sacobie, Chief Edwin Bernard, Chief Patrick Francis, Chief Arthur Bear, Chief John Wallace, Vice Chief Len Tomah, Chief Tom Green and Chief Floyd Bernard. This support continues to the present Chiefs in their appointment of members to the Maliseet Advisory Committee on Archaeology, and these Chiefs include Chief Jean-Guy Cimon, Chief Stewart Paul, Chief Jeff Tomah, Chief Robert Atwin, Chief Arthur Bear, and Chief Roger Atwin. The first Maliseet Advisory Committee on the Jemseg Crossing Project involved a great deal of time and support from a number of individuals, including Irvin Polchies, the late Charlie Paul, David Perley, Karen Perley, Ned Bear, Dick Paul, Robert Bernard, Chris Turnbull, David Keenlyside, Brian McEwing, and Mike Phillips. Many individuals have continued to provide time and support through the second Maliseet Advisory Committee on Archaeology, including Charles (Diamond) Nicholas, Vincent Nicholas, Patty Paul, Mae Perley, Linda Paul, Marjorie Paul, Rocky Paul, Sharon Paul, Tim Nicholas, Phil Atwin, Ned Bear, Robert Bernard, Dianne Pelletier, Barb Nicholas, Amanda Howlett, Karen Perley and Patricia Allen. Many individuals independently came to the site or provided support, insight and knowledge, including Wayne Nicholas, Marlene Shumate, Shirley Bear, Gwen Bear, Darrel Paul, Alice Paul, the late Christina Nash. We would like to thank the following Elders who took part in the Spoken History project: Tina Brooks, Pat Laporte, and Josephine Paul (Sitansisk/St. Mary’s First Nation), Richard Polchies Junior (Sitansisk/St. Mary’s First Nation), the late Theresa Sacobie (Pilick/Kingsclear First Nation), Ronald Paul (Sitansisk/St. Mary’s First Nation), Charles Solomon Sr. (Pilick/Kingsclear First Nation), Rose Atwin (Pilick/Kingsclear First Nation), Gina (Jeanna) Polchies (Woodstock First Nation), Bob Nash (Gagetown), Noel Francis Junior with Kathleen Francis (Madawaska Maliseet First Nation), Elizabeth Paul (Welmooktuk/Oromocto First Nation), Charlie Bear (Neqotkuk/ Tobique First Nation), Pat Sacobie (Welmooktuk/Oromocto First Nation), Pious and the late Harriet Perley (Neqotkuk/Tobique

  • KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds
    FALL/ WINTER 2015 THE NEWSLETTER OF MAINE RIVERS KENNEBEC SALMON RESTORATION: Innovation to Improve the Odds Walking thigh-deep into a cold stream in January in Maine? The idea takes a little getting used to, but Paul Christman doesn’t have a hard time finding volunteers to do just that to help with salmon egg planting. Christman is a scientist with Maine Department of Marine Resource. His work, patterned on similar efforts in Alaska, involves taking fertilized salmon eggs from a hatchery and planting them directly into the cold gravel of the best stream habitat throughout the Sandy River, a Kennebec tributary northwest of Waterville. Yes, egg planting takes place in the winter. For Maine Rivers board member Sam Day plants salmon eggs in a tributary of the Sandy River more than a decade Paul has brought staff and water, Paul and crews mimic what female salmon volunteers out on snowshoes and ATVs, and with do: Create a nest or “redd” in the gravel of a river waders and neoprene gloves for this remarkable or stream where she plants her eggs in the fall, undertaking. Finding stretches of open stream continued on page 2 PROGRESS TO UNDERSTAND THE HEALTH OF THE ST. JOHN RIVER The waters of the St. John River flow from their headwaters in Maine to the Bay of Fundy, and for many miles serve as the boundary between Maine and Quebec. Waters of the St. John also flow over the Mactaquac Dam, erected in 1968, which currently produces a substantial amount of power for New Brunswick. Efforts are underway now to evaluate the future of the Mactaquac Dam because its mechanical structure is expected to reach the end of its service life by 2030 due to problems with the concrete portions of the dam’s station.

  • Emotional Connection to Mactaquac Dam, River Valley Studied
    Emotional connection to Mactaquac dam, river valley studied TARA CHISLETT Fredericton Daily Gleaner January 8, 2015 The Mactaquac Hydro Electric Dam near Fredericton. Photo: The Daily Gleaner archive How much do people in New Brunswick know about the Mactaquac dam and what it means for the future of energy in the province? That’s the question a team of social scientists from Dalhousie University, the University of New Brunswick and the University of Alberta are trying to answer as part of a larger research project on energy literacy, attitudes and values toward different energy options, and the effects of energy choices. The Mactaquac dam is expected to reach the end of its service life in 2030. NB Power has identified three options for the station: 1. refurbish; 2. rebuild; 3. decommission. Decommission would involve restoring the St. John River valley by draining the headpond above the dam. NB Power says it will be seeking input from experts, First Nations communities and New Brunswickers before selecting a preferred option in 2016. Kate Sherren, an assistant professor and academic program co­ordinator at Dalhousie University’s School for Resource and Environmental Studies, said the team received federal funding through a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in 2012, but work didn’t begin until summer 2013. The team is made up of made up of three principal investigators as well as several students. Along with the study of the Mactaquac dam, the project is also looking at sites in the Peace River, Alta., region and southern Ontario. The project isn’t designed to contribute directly to the decision about the dam, Sherren said.

  • Up on Th'hill Down by the River by the Ocean Across the Field by the Word
    Up on th’hill Down by the river By the ocean Across the field By the word of the Boognish Lordy lordy lord, I’m coming home -Gene & Dean Ween The Bristol-Shiktehawk bifaces and Early Woodland ceremonialism in the Middle St. John Valley, New Brunswick by Alexandre Pelletier-Michaud B.A., Université Laval, 2007 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of Anthropology Supervisor: Susan E. Blair, Ph.D., Anthropology Examining Board: M. Gabriel Hrynick, Ph.D., Anthropology Gary K. Waite, Ph.D., History This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK November, 2017 ©Alexandre Pelletier-Michaud, 2018 ABSTRACT In the Maritime Peninsula, the visibility of Early Woodland ceremonialism is limited to a few sites that have been associated with burial complexes defined elsewhere in the Northeast. The biface assemblage excavated in the 1930s from the Bristol- Shiktehawk site, in the middle St. John River Valley, has been assumed to be ceremonial but has never been the subject of a thorough professional analysis. I conduct such an analysis based on a technological approach. My results support the view that the assemblage likely dates to the Early Woodland period, by establishing connections which are rooted temporally in the region but extend geographically towards the Midwest. I question the compartmentalizing nomenclature which structures our understanding of regional variations in manifestations of ceremonialism, suggesting a more complex but fluid cultural landscape for the period around 3500 to 2000 B.P., and explore the limitations posed by the theoretical framework often applied to questions of ritual in archaeology.

    Vol. 8 No. 9 A publication of the NB Media Co-op June 2017 nbmediacoop.org Return of the Wolastoq: NB Refugee Clinic Giving a river back its name supports refugees By TRACY GLYNN navigate the law By TRACY GLYNN No One Is Illegal Fredericton organized a Borderless Solidarities Workshop on May 6 in Fredericton. The NB Media Co-op interviewed one of the participants, Akram Ben Salah, the executive director of the NB Refugee Clinic, to find out what his organization is doing to support refugees settling in New Brunswick. NBMC: What does the NB Refugee Clinic (NBRC) do? How long has it been around? Akram Ben Salah: The NBRC offers free legal assistance and representation to persons making applications to stay as refugees or on other types of humanitarian or risk- based grounds, who cannot afford to hire a private lawyer. Our work includes preparing and submitting the claims, performing mock hearings and representation during the actual hearings as well as assistance with work permit applications for asylum seekers and permanent residence applications for all clients whose claims were successful and approved. The Clinic opened its doors in Moncton to the public on October 17, 2016. Since then, we have been receiving clients on a regular basis. Before the Clinic opened, there were no organizations in New Brunswick offering free legal assistance. Our clients cannot afford to hire a lawyer and because of that, without our services, they often had to go through the process without proper guidance or representation. NBMC: What specific refugee and/or immigration policies need to change in Canada?
