Arrowheads, the pointed part of arrows, were made separately from the shaft and were often made of flint. Arrowhead Trail is one of a number of trail names approved between 1969 and 1971 Chief Masgwaahsid (Bear’s Paw) of the Stoney Band was born about 1835. He signed 53.442379 -113.50085 Treaty No. 7 at Blackfoot Crossing on September 22, 1877. It was Bear’s Paw’s authority that averted an armed confrontation when negotiations leading to the signing of this treaty were being conducted beside the Bow River. Neighbourhood names in the Kaskitayo area honour Aboriginal leaders. Please see Bearspaw 53.446136 -113.504648 Please see Bearspaw 53.445548 -113.511708 The Devonian Foundation donated 0.53 hectares of land for this downtown neighbourhood 53.541072 -113.500743 park and named it Beaver Hills House Park. The name comes from the Cree word amiskwaskahegan, which refers to Fort Edmonton’s proximity to the Beaver Hills, east of present-day Edmonton. This 1.74-hectares park in the Bearspaw neighbourhood honours the life of Plains Cree 53.444462 -113.507888 Chief Mistahimaskwa “Big Bear” (c. 1825-1888). By the 1870s, Big Bear, who had been born in what is now Saskatchewan, was a leader of his people. In 1876 he refused to sign Treaty No. 6 because he believed it would destroy his people’s way of life. By 1882, however, the threat of starvation finally forced him to submit to the treaty, and with it, to Page 3 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton City of Catholic Public School Edmonton - LOCATION Wards School District Board Ward Neighbourhood Ward Boundaries Boundaries Boundaries (53.519275, -113.619683) 5 5 4 351 (53.442379, -113.50085) 10 8 6 32 (53.446136, -113.504648) 10 8 6 32 (53.445548, -113.511708) 10 8 6 45 (53.541072, -113.500743) 6 6 5 104 (53.444462, -113.507888) 10 8 6 32 Page 4 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton Roadway Maintenance Zip Codes Area Polygon 96 109 109 109 242 109 Page 5 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton Big Miller Park 11 Tommy Banks Way Page 6 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton Park 2001 Page 7 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton however, the threat of starvation finally forced him to submit to the treaty, and with it, to accept the forced relocation of Aboriginal people onto reserves. He was later blamed for the Frog Lake Massacre of 1885. Despite his innocence, Big Bear surrendered at Fort Carleton and faced treason charges. He was found guilty and sentenced to three years at Stony Mountain Penitentiary. Big Bear served two years of his term before being released because of ill health. He returned to the Poundmaker Reserve where he died the following year. Award-winning jazz trombonist, blues singer and educator Clarence Horatio “Big” Miller 53.521217 -113.495132 (1922-1992) helped found the Edmonton Jazz City Festival and was considered one of the most acclaimed bluesmen in Canada. Miller, the son of a Sioux father and a mother who was the descendant of a black slave, was born at Sioux City, Iowa. A mix of bad luck and unexpected opportunities led to his becoming a proud Canadian citizen in 1973. It was during a tour of Canada in the late 1960s that Miller became stranded in Vancouver. The show he was performing with ran out of money and he was forced to find work in order to pay his way home. One of the gigs he took was at Tommy Banks’ Embers Club in Edmonton. Embraced by the local music community, Miller made several return engagements, eventually staying and becoming an Edmontonian. He went on to make major contributions to not only the city music scene but provincially, through teaching. Over the course of his 50-year career, Miller performed with some of the world’s greatest jazz musicians, including Miles Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Lionel Hampton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Woody Herman. He toured internationally and was a regular performer at Switzerland’s prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival. In 1979 Miller won a Juno for Jazz Canada Montreux 1978, a live album recorded with the Tommy Banks Orchestra. Among his other albums are Live From Calgary (1982), Big Miller and the Blues Machine: Live at Athabasca University (1990) and The Last of the Blues Shouters (1992), recorded in Southampton, England. The National Film Board of Canada recognized Miller’s work with the 1980 biographical film Big and the Blues. In 1985 Miller received an honorary doctorate Page 8 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton (53.521217, -113.495132) 8 7 5 335 Page 9 of 120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton 12 Page 10 of120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton Blackmud Creek West of Calgary Trail Blackmud Creek Bridge Spanning the Blackmud Creek at 111 Street Blackmud Creek Crescent South of Ellerslie Road, west of Calgary Trail Blackmud Creek Drive South of Ellerslie Road, west of Calgary Trail Blackmud Creek Neighbourhood Ellerslie Road south to 25 Avenue SW, 107 Street to 111 Street Blackmud Creek Ravine Along the course of Blackmud Creek Blue Quill 23 Avenue to 34 Avenue, 111 Street west to Whitemud Ravine Blue Quill 23 Avenue to 34 Avenue, 111 Street west to Whitemud Ravine Blue Quill Crescent East of 123 Street, south of 23 Avenue Blue Quill Estates 23 Avenue to 29A Avenue, 119 Street west to Whitemud Park Blue Quill Park 11304 25 Avenue Blue Quill Point North of 29A Avenue, west of 124 Street Page 11 of120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton Creek 1998 Bridge 1996 Road 1999 Road 2000 Neighbourhood 1999 Ravine Neighbourhood 1974 Subdivision 1974 Road 1987 Neighbourhood 1987 Park 1984 Road 1987 Page 12 of120 09/25/2021 Indigenous Place Names of Edmonton of humanities from Athabasca University in recognition of his teaching of jazz, blues and gospel music.

  • A Message from the President …
    Share Enjoy Enrich Newsletter of the Faculty Women’s Club, University of Alberta Vol. 30, No. 2a December 2016 A message from the President … As the semester draws to a close and the holiday season approaches, I hope you are all keeping busy and warm! The FWC has had a productive fall. First, we began our year with a successful and well-attended Wine and Cheese Registration Event. Thank you to Cathy, Pat, and others for all your hard work in providing and preparing the food, to Marie and others for manning the registration table, and to those members who volunteered their time at the event to welcome and provide tours to new members. Second, we have recently launched our new website; thank you to Christine for your patience, persistence, and hours of work in making this happen! Finally, the Program Committee (Cathy, Katia, and Judith) is working hard to plan some upcoming club-wide events, including the Robin Hood pantomime at Fort Edmonton in December and the Alberta Legislature tour in March. Personally, I have been enjoying my last few weeks of leave with Emma (now ten months old!) and Kevin. We are looking forward to Emma’s first Christmas with family in Vancouver, and even dressed her up as an elf for Halloween in anticipation. I will return to work full time in January, which seems a bit daunting – but I know many thousands of parents have done it before me, and I know that I have a wonderful network of support from the FWC. In closing, I wish you all a holiday that is warm, bright, and full of fun and friendship! Sarah Moore email: [email protected] December 2016 www.ualberta.ca/faculty-and-staff/faculty-womens-club 1 S E A S O N’ S G R E E T I N G S! from your Executive It’s that time of year again when many of our members are decorating their homes and cooking up a storm in the kitchen, preparing to celebrate.

  • The Rose Collection of Moccasins in the Canadian Museum of Civilization : Transitional Woodland/Grassl and Footwear
    THE ROSE COLLECTION OF MOCCASINS IN THE CANADIAN MUSEUM OF CIVILIZATION : TRANSITIONAL WOODLAND/GRASSL AND FOOTWEAR David Sager 3636 Denburn Place Mississauga, Ontario Canada, L4X 2R2 Abstract/Resume Many specialists assign the attribution of "Plains Cree" or "Plains Ojibway" to material culture from parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In fact, only a small part of this area was Grasslands. Several bands of Cree and Ojibway (Saulteaux) became permanent residents of the Grasslands bor- ders when Reserves were established in the 19th century. They rapidly absorbed aspects of Plains material culture, a process started earlier farther west. This paper examines one such case as revealed by footwear. Beaucoup de spécialistes attribuent aux Plains Cree ou aux Plains Ojibway des objets matériels de culture des régions du Manitoba ou de la Saskatch- ewan. En fait, il n'y a qu'une petite partie de cette région ait été prairie. Plusieurs bandes de Cree et d'Ojibway (Saulteaux) sont devenus habitants permanents des limites de la prairie quand les réserves ont été établies au XIXe siècle. Ils ont rapidement absorbé des aspects de la culture matérielle des prairies, un processus qu'on a commencé plus tôt plus loin à l'ouest. Cet article examine un tel cas comme il est révélé par des chaussures. The Canadian Journal of Native Studies XIV, 2(1 994):273-304. 274 David Sager The Rose Moccasin Collection: Problems in Attribution This paper focuses on a unique group of eight pair of moccasins from southern Saskatchewan made in the mid 1880s. They were collected by Robert Jeans Rose between 1883 and 1887.

  • Appendix 8.0 Environmental Reserve Analysis
    CITY OF EDMONTON ANNEXATION APPLICATION APPENDIX 8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVE ANALYSIS MARCH 2018 City of Edmonton Annexation Areas, Leduc County Environmental Reserve Analysis Prepared for: City of Edmonton, Sustainable Development Edmonton, AB Solstice Canada Corp. 10714‐124 Street, Edmonton, AB T5M 0H1 DECEMBER 2016 19 December 2016 Adryan Wahl Principal Planner Sustainable Development City of Edmonton HSBC Bank Place 600, 10250 101 Street NW Edmonton, AB T5J 3P4 Dear Mr. Wahl; Re: Environmental Reserve Analysis, County of Leduc Annexation Area We are pleased to provide the above‐named report, which documents the analysis of potential environmental reserve (ER) lands and environmental sensitivities within the proposed County of Leduc Annexation Area. The report summarizes not only the areas of lands that could be protected using the Environmental Reserve process, but also the options available through policies of the City of Edmonton to conserve lands not captured as ER. The report also compares City policies to standard municipal development practices that rely mainly on the tools available through the Municipal Government Act and other provincial legislation for environmental protection. Lastly, the results of the City’s Environmental Sensitivities analysis were compared to past assessments of environmentally significant areas in Leduc County, to determine how that inventory approach, and City’s natural areas policies might help conserve and sustain the biodiversity and ecological services of this landscape. We trust that the assessment will fulfill the requirements of the annexation process, and support other work currently underway in support of your application. If you have any questions or comments regarding the assessment, please contact the undersigned.
