SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Bureau of American Ethnology BuUetin 123 Anthropological Papers, No. 8 Linguistic Classification of Cree and Montagnais-Naskapi Dialects By TRUMAN MICHELSON 67 LINGUISTIC CLASSIFICATION OF CREE AND MONTAGNAIS-NASKAPI DIALECTS By Truman Michelson In 1912 I had an opportunity to study the Cree of Fort Totten (North Dakota), and in 1920 had a chance to study the Cree of Files Hill, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 1923 I observed the Montagnais of Lake St. John and Lake Mistassini at Pointe Bleu, Quebec. In 1924 at the Northwest River I studied the dialect of Davis Inlet from an Indian there, and gained a little knowledge of the dialect of the Northwest River. The American Council of Learned Societies made it possible for me in the summer and early fall of 1935 to do field- work among some of the Algonquian Indians in the vicinity of James and Hudson's Bay. I visited Moose Factory, Rupert's House, Fort George, and the Great Whale River. However, I was able to do a little work on the Albany Cree and Ojibwa owing to their presence at Moose Factory; and I did a few minutes work with an East Main Indian whom I stumbled across at Rupert's House; similarly I worked for a few minutes on the Weenusk dialect as an Indian from there chanced to come to Moosonee at the foot of James Bay. Owing to a grant-in-aid made by the American Coun- cil of Learned Societies it was possible for me to again visit the James and Hudson's Bays region in the spring, summer, and early fall of 1936. -

AC Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment
A. C. Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment: Promoting British Colonization in Lower Canada J. I. LITTLE* Between 1829 and 1832 a British settler colony was established on the northern fringe of Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, in what became known as Megantic county. The main aim of the chief instigator and manager of the project, “emigrant” agent A. C. Buchanan, was to demonstrate the viability of state-assisted “pauper” colonization, as long advocated by Colonial Under- Secretary Robert Wilmot-Horton. Buchanan’s project was successful insofar as he convinced over 5,300 immigrants, the majority of whom were Irish Protestants, to follow the Craig and Gosford roads to the uninhabited northern foothills of the Appalachians. But the British government failed to apply this “experiment” elsewhere in Lower or Upper Canada, and the British settler community did not expand far beyond the townships of Leeds, Inverness, and Ireland because of their isolation from external markets. Instead, French-Canadian settlers moved into the surrounding townships, with the result that the British-origin population became a culturally isolated island of interrelated families that slowly disappeared due to out-migration. De 1829 à 1832, une colonie de peuplement britannique a vu le jour au Bas- Canada, en périphérie nord des cantons de l’Est, dans ce qui deviendra le comté de Mégantic. L’instigateur et chef du projet, l’agent d’émigration A. C. Buchanan, avait pour objectif premier de prouver la viabilité, avec le soutien de l’État, de la colonisation par les « pauvres » que préconisait depuis longtemps le sous- secrétaire aux Colonies Robert Wilmot-Horton. -

Changes in the Society and Territory of Quebec 1745-1820
CHANGES IN THE SOCIETY AND TERRITORY OF QUEBEC 1745-1820 TEACHER’S GUIDE Geography, History and Citizenship Education Elementary Cycle 3, Year 1 http://occupations.phillipmartin.info/occupations_teacher3.htm Canjita Gomes DEEN LES Resource Bank Project 2013-2014 1 Released under a CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 licence http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ Clip art by Philip Martin is under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER 1. This Learning and Evaluation Situation should only be considered after the period of Canadian society in New France around 1745 has been taught and evaluated. This is because this LES demands a certain amount of prior historical knowledge of this period. 2. The LES emphasizes Competency 2 by the very nature of its title, although the other two competencies are also present. 3. The heading of each unit consists of one or two guiding questions. The students are expected to answer these guiding questions after scaffolding has been done through a series of activities that continuously increase in difficulty and sophistication as they unfold. These guiding questions embrace the whole concept under discussion, so view them as complex tasks. 4. The evaluation tools are found at the end of this Teacher’s Guide. They are to be used at the teacher’s discretion. 5. The bibliography is unfortunately limited to everyday life during the periods in question. English works on societal change between 1745 and 1820 are nonexistent.
