  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • Shared Values in the Heart of the Boreal Workshop Proceedings Acknowledgements
    Shared Values Borealin the Heart of the Shared Values Borealin the Heart of the Proceedings from a First Nation ~ conservation group workshop January 2005 Foreword anada’s boreal region is one of the largest intact forests remaining on the Cplanet. Conserving the heart of the Boreal region—the great northern for- est in Ontario and Manitoba—is a tremendous opportunity for all Canadians. For the communities in the region, the stakes are particularly high: protecting the boreal region means protecting the lands they call home.Within the heart of the boreal is one of our last chances to conserve large expanses of habitat for species at risk such as woodland caribou and wolverine. It may also be a last opportuni- ty to protect watersheds, to protect a way of life rooted in the land, and to ensure Aboriginal cultures in the region remain strong and vibrant. CPAWS–Wildlands League and Manitoba Wildlands believe that the best way to protect this great boreal forest region is to work cooperatively with First Nations and Aboriginal people that live in the heart of the boreal. For the most part, the lands in this region are not yet licensed to forestry, roads, or hydro transmission projects. First Nations have a unique opportunity to decide the future for this boreal region through land use planning rooted in indigenous customs and conservation values. Here, perhaps like nowhere else in Canada’s boreal, action can be taken to adequately plan and protect before development decisions are made. Conservation groups and First Nations have much in common when it comes to caring for the boreal forest in Ontario and Manitoba.We both believe that we increase our chances of success when we work together.We both also know that we have common overlapping interests, as well interests specific to each community and group.We are respectful of these differences.

    onite Missionary y Neufeld and Syncretism among the Pauhgassi Ojibwa, 1955-1970 Alvina Block, University of Manitoba Mennonites have experienced many divisions sincetlie sixteenth century, resulting in diversity across a spectrum from progressive to more traditional groups. Progressive Mennonites in North America adopted new doctrines, Sunday schools, revivals and Bible schools ffom the Protestant denominations around them. Even consel-vative branches of Mennonites experienced some change throughout tlie years as they had new visions, such as Harold S. Bender's revitalizing Anabaptist Vision. American Mennonite historian James Juhnke takes a positive view ofMennonite schism; according to Juhnke schisms brought vitality and new ideas to the various Mennonite groups.' North American aboriginal communities were also diverse. Yet Dennis and Barbara Tedlock, editors ofa collection ofessays on Indian religions and philosophies, show that historically there were commonalities in the diversity of Indian religions. Most young men, and also some women, went on vision quests of some type to discover new truths and to sliarethem withtheirconiniluiities.' As the various tribes came into contact with Christianity, they rejected, accepted or syncretized the old and the new so that their religions sometimes took on different fonns. For example, in the 1890s the Paiutes came up with tlie Ghost Dance, later borrowed by the Sioux and other tribes. The Ghost Dance incorporated a retuni to traditional ways witli some aspects of Cliristia~nity.Another exanple of syncretism was tlieNative Cln~~rchofNo~th Aln~erica's use of peyote, a mild drug with healing powers talien from a cactus plant, as a sacrament. New religious fonns sucln as these often came in response to persec~~tioncaused by white oppression.
