  • Siege of Port Royal (1707)
    Siege of Port Royal (1707) Port-Royal was a settlement on the site of modern-day Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, part of the French colony of Acadia. It was founded in 1605 by Samuel de Champlain, almost twenty years after Habitation at Port-Royal was destroyed. For most of the period until the Siege of Port Royal by the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1710, the village was the capital of Acadia. Port-Royal was the primary Acadian settlement until Acadians migrated out of the community to Pisiguit, Cobequid, Grand Pre, and Beaubassin The Siege of Port Royal in 1707 was two separate attempts by English colonists from New England to conquer Acadia (roughly the present-day Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) by capturing its capital Port Royal (now Annapolis Royal) during Queen Anne's War. Both attempts were made by colonial militia, and were led by men inexperienced in siege warfare. Led by Acadian Governor Daniel d'Auger de Subercase, the French troops at Port Royal easily withstood both attempts, assisted by Queen Anne's War. Siege of Port Royal (1707). See also. References. During King William's War, Baptiste fought in the Battle of Port Royal (1690). On May 9, 1690 English forces under Sir William Phipps attacked the capital of Acadia of Port Royal with a fleet of seven vessels and 700 men. Baptiste was among only 85 men defending an unfinished fortification at Port Royal. After spending 12 days pillaging Port Royal, Phipps' troops pillaged the rest of Acadia, including Castine, La Hève, Chedabucto and the settlements at the head of the Bay of Fundy.

  • Winter 2021 Newsletter
    WINTER Les Guédry et Petitpas d’Asteur 2021 VOLUME 19 ISSUE 1 GENERATIONS Our Winter 2021 edition of Generations highlights the Acadians of Massachusetts. If traveling to Massachu- setts, be sure to review the many sites there that have an Acadian connection. I found it amazing that a carved powder horn given as a gift by Acadians to a British farmer has survived to this day. Read about this group of Acadians expelled to Andover, MA and their relationship with Jonathan Abbott and the unique gift he re- ceived. In the Summer 2020 (Vol. 18 No. 2) issue of Generations we discussed the many museums and historic villages across the world that displayed our Acadian heritage. As expected, we did not capture every museum. Al Pettipas of Dartmouth, NS added another museum to our list – the Amos Seaman School Museum in Minudie, Nova Scotia near Amherst. Built in 1840 by Amos Seaman as a one-room school for his children and those of his tenants – likely including some Acadians. He also built the historic Unitarian and Catholic Churches on either side of the school. The museum contains many historic artifacts and documents preserving the history of the Minudie community which was an Acadian settlement from 1672 – 1755. In addition to documents identifying the Acadian residents in Minudie before 1755, the museum contains an original Acadi- an aboiteau found in the Minudie area in 1989, the original desks and furniture of the school and a model of an Acadian house. The museum is open in July and August from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm, seven days a week.

  • Descendants of Charles Boudrot (1710-1766) Compiled by Mary Wiley Campbell
    Descendants of Charles Boudrot (1710-1766) compiled by Mary Wiley Campbell The events of the lives of Charles Boudrot1 and his family, as recorded in the records of Acadia, England, France, and Louisiana, tell the story of Le Grand Dérangement of French Acadians expelled from their homeland in what is now Nova Scotia, Canada, by the British, casualties of the wars between France and England for control of the New World. Although the dramatic and tragic story of the Acadian diaspora has become familiar through repeated retellings in literature and film, the emphasis in fictional works like Longfellow’s “Evangeline” on the separation of heartbroken lovers has sometimes softened and obscured the horrific experiences suffered by these refugees over many years. During the years of exile beginning in 1755, Acadian families were forced from their homes, crowded onto ships, many of which were ill-provisioned and overloaded, and dispersed throughout the British Empire. Some were deported to the English seaboard colonies, or, when other colonies refused to accept them, dispatched to England, where they were put into concentration camps. Others were transported to maritime France and a few managed to escape into the Canadian wilderness. Many families were separated. Over one-half of the Acadian population, which has been estimated as high 10,000 to 15,000 individuals, did not survive the expulsion, succumbing to the effects of malnutrition, exposure, shipwreck, or disease.2 The experiences of the Charles Boudrot family during this time of exile and resettlement were typical of those in most Acadian families during the Dérangement period.

  • Sipekne`Katik Title Claim: Dispelling the Misconceptions and Myths, a Mi’Kmaw Perspective
    Sipekne`katik Title Claim 0 Sipekne`katik Title Claim: Dispelling the Misconceptions and Myths, A Mi’kmaw perspective. Michael William McDonald Sipekne’katik First Nations Sipekne`katik Title Claim 1 Preface The biggest difficulty for any First Nation group claiming aboriginal title lies in the huge disconnect between the First Nation claiming title and the Government entities discrediting the claim. Most academic writing on Aboriginal people have been written by non-Aboriginal people whose views are corrupted by their Eurocentric ideologies and perspectives. Much of what has been written and what the courts have relied on as secondary sources are inherently incorrect and are fundamentally unfair for the First Nation group claiming title since the source of information relied on is based on non-aboriginal perspectives that have been influenced by Eurocentric views. Introduction For any First Nation in Canada, going to court ill-prepared with a title claim will have the most detrimental, problematic, and long lasting effects. This seems to have been the case in the Supreme Court of Canada’s (SCC) ruling in Marshall; Bernard.1 Although, it is not clear how much evidence was presented in Marshall; Bernard, based on Chief Justice McLachlin (McLachlin) comments, it seems that not enough evidence was presented to give a clear understanding of the title claim. However, I do not think that this was a result of a lack of evidence, but rather, how the evidence was presented. Much of findings coming out of Marshall; Bernard was based on prevailing misconceptions, myths, and assumptions surrounding Mi’kmaq occupancy, culture, beliefs, and traditions, as well as, social and political structure.2 In the end, what we learnt from Marshall; Bernard, is that, proof of occupation for “Aboriginal title” is 1 R.
