The Sleeping Giant (2007)
The Sleeping Giant (2007) For orchestra By Abigail Richardson Duration: 5 minutes. 2222 4231 timpani +2, strings Percussion I: Crotales, Glockenspiel, Slapstick, Thundersheet Percussion II: Feng Luo, North American Tom Tom (or appropriate substitute), Bass Drum, Triangle, Suspended Cymbal After CBC's recent "Seven Wonders of Canada" competition, I was quite taken with the support of the Thunder Bay community for the Sleeping Giant. I decided to write this piece for the legend. Here is the story: Nanabosho the giant and son of the West wind was a hero to the Ojibwe tribe for saving them from the Sioux. One day he scratched a rock and discovered silver. Nanabosho knew the white men would take over the land for this silver so he swore his tribe to secrecy and buried the silver. One of the chieftains decided to make himself silver weapons and was soon after killed by the Sioux. He must have passed along the silver secret as several days later a Sioux warrior was spotted in a canoe leading two white men towards the silver. Nanabosho disobeyed the Great Spirit and raised a storm which killed the men. As punishment he was turned to stone and lies watching over his silver secret. Abigail Richardson was born in Oxford, England and moved to Canada as a child. Ironically, she was diagnosed completely and incurably deaf at the age of five. Upon moving to Canada, her hearing was fully intact within months. She received her Bachelor of Music from the University of Calgary and her Masters and Doctorate degrees from the University of Toronto. -

Artistic movement membership and the career profiles of Canadian painters Douglas J. Hodgson* Université du Québec à Montréal Sociologists, psychologists and economists have studied many aspects of the effects on human creativity, especially that of artists, of the social setting in which creative activity takes place. In the last hundred and fifty years or so, the field of advanced creation in visual art has been heavily characterized by the existence of artistic movements, small groupings of artists having aesthetic or programmatic similarities and using the group to further their collective programme, and, one would suppose, their individual careers and creative trajectories. -

Signature 11 THE CBC'S "SEVEN WONDERS OF CANADA: EXCLUSIONARY ASPECTS OF A PROJECT OF NATIONAL IDENTITY A major research paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in Immigration and Settlement Studies, Ryerson University, 2009 By Debbie Starzynski ji ABSTRACT The topic of my major research paper is national identity in the context of cultural pluralism. The paper has as its goal a socio-cultural analysis of national belonging. Immigration policy as gateway has, historically, excluded certain groups from entry to the country; nationalisms have prevented some of those who have gained entry to the country from gaining entry to the nation. I argue that the CBC's "Seven Wonders of Canada" campaign is one such nationalism, revealing nationalist tropes which include the cultural centre's longstanding tradition of identifying with the landscape and its more recent tradition of identifying with multicultural ideology - in its construction of national identity. -
Negotiating with Oral Histories at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21
Negotiating with Oral Histories at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 Ashley Clarkson A Thesis in The Department Of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada January 2015 © Ashley Clarkson, 2015 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Ashley Clarkson Entitled: Negotiating with Oral Histories at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) Complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: Shannon McSheffrey Chair Elena Razlogova Examiner Erica Lehrer Examiner Steven High Supervisor Approved by: Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Abstract This thesis explores the transition of Pier 21 from a local heritage group to its designation as a national museum in 2009. How it is balancing its role as national historic site, with a large source community, and its mandate to represent the national history of Canadian immigration. The emphasis on intangible cultural heritage, or people’s recorded stories, rather than material artifacts, places Pier 21 in the position to adopt new technologies and to connect on-and offline interpretation. In the beginning Pier 21 brought together a community of immigrants and it was oral histories that helped activate that community in order to bring the institution to life. When Pier 21 is referred to as the ‘museum of memories,’ it invokes not only the memories rooted in the exhibits but in the memories that permeate the site itself. -

Canoe Pedagogy and Colonial History: Exploring Contested Spaces of Outdoor Environmental Education
Canoe Pedagogy and Colonial History: Exploring Contested Spaces of Outdoor Environmental Education Liz Newbery, University of Toronto, Canada Abstract In this paper, I explore how histories of colonialism are integral to the Euro-Western idea of wilderness at the heart of much outdoor environmental education. In the context of canoe tripping, I speculate about why the politics of land rarely enters into teaching on the land. Finally, because learning from difficult knowledge often troubles the learner, I consider the pedagogical value of emotional responses to curricula that address colonial implication. Résumé Dans le présent article, je me penche sur la mesure dans laquelle l’histoire du colonialisme fait partie intégrante de la conception occidentale de la nature sauvage au sein de programmes d’éducation environnementale intensive. Dans un contexte d’excursions en canot, je spécule sur l’omission fréquente des politiques territoriales dans l’enseignement environnemental. Enfin, puisque l’apprentissage à partir de connaissances complexes peut déconcerter l’élève, j’examine la valeur pédagogique de la réaction émotive dans les programmes d’enseignement se penchant sur le facteur colonial. Keywords: wilderness, colonialism, difficult knowledge, canoe trip, outdoor environmental education, Canada Part of the work of environmental education must be to confront the traumatic traces lingering in a nation born through colonization. For years as an environ- mental educator working in a primarily canoe trip based context, I put an emphasis on the land, tried to slow down and be quiet enough for students to develop a sense of place, a respect for this more-than-human world. But the trickiness of the place—the contested histories of space, the ambivalent role that the canoe played in Canada’s origins, the very context for all of this learning— tended to go unacknowledged in my pedagogies. -
