The Llte Hlstory Method In Anthropology The life history method, a form of biography/autobiography used in anthropology, emerged from research on North American Indians. The collection of life hj-stories from North Amerj-can Indians commenced in the early 20th Century as a kind of "ethnographic salvage". Anthropologists sought to preserve these peoples and their cultures in the museum or the library, as it was believed that they would not survive. Classics whi-ch resulted f rom this research include, Radin's Crashing Thunder (L926) | Dyk's Son of Oid Man Hat (1938) , Ford's Smoke from their Fires ( l- 941) , and Simmons ' Sun Chief (L942) .r Needless to sdy, these peoples and their cultures, despite rapid social and cultural change, have survived and continue to perpetuate themselves. At the same time that life histories of North American Indians were being co1 lected and presented, the school of 'culture and personal ity'in anthropology, was forming. This school, unlike its predecessors, who attempted I An excellent review of this research is given by l,angress (1965). through the use of lif e hi-stori-es to describe or portray culture, used life hi-story materiar to discover the individual's perceptions of his or her experiences, and the personar meani-ngs inherent in those experiences. However, these two approaches need not be mutualry exclusive. ll. Culture And The Indtvtdual A recounted life history is at once cultural and personal. Personal experiences, and memories of those experiences, are informed by a cultural context. Kundera (l-9BB) speaks to this when he talks about Heidegger/ s characterization of existence, which Heidegger calls in-d.er- re-Z t-se jn (being-in-the-wor1d) ; Man does not relate to the worrd as subject to objectr ds eye to painti.g; not even as actor to stage set. Man and the world are bound together like the snai-r to its shell: the worr-d is pirt of man' it i-s his dimensl-on, and as the worrd clrang.s, existence in-der-wer-t-sein, being-in-the-woild, changes as werr (Heidegger in Kundera 19gg: 35). on the other hand, the worrd is not only part of humans but humans are part of the world. And not onry d.oes existence change as the world changes, but also, existence and the world change as humans do.2 personal experiences inform and 2 Please note that I do not alter Kundera's use of 'man'-in-his-quote. I do this to maintain consistency with his intent. I do however assume that his quote includer-u6tr, genders and use it that way. I will similarly reat dl other quotes throughout this thesis. reform a cultural context.3 As such, we can conclude that culture and the indivj-duar and by individuar r mean indivldual personality are interpenetrating phenomena. Thus, life histories are vehicles through which culture at large, and the individuail s experience of curture can be discerned. obviously, the greater the sample of individuals from one culture the croser that we can get to dj_scerning the patterns within that culture. This in fact is the greatest shortcomj-ngr of many of the earlier Native rife histories. Anthropologists would collect a life history from one individual and then use that to make generalizations about the greater cul-ture r €rs suming that the ind j_vidual was entirely representative of his,/her culture. They did not account for, or rather, allow for the variatj_on within culture. This is not to suggest however, that these individuals are not to some degree representative of the culture from which they descend. sapir points out that it is from the same observed behaviour that one abstracts the patterns of culture as well_ as the indivj-dua1 variations reflecting personal meaning. Connerton (1989) elucidates: "The narrative of one life is part of an interconnecting set of narratj-ves; it is embedded 3 By 'cultural cont€xt' I mean the most immediate form of culture which is one's personal environment, which inevitably, through numbers and patterning, leads up to and includes onr more abstract and macrocosmic notions of culture. 4 in the story of those groups from which indj-viduals derive their identity" (1989: 2rl. Therefore, the information that is ericited from a rife history i-s not only about the indivldual but ar-so about culture. And. as sapir suggests, curture is not "merely abstracted confi_gurations of idea and action patterns which have endressly different meanings for the various individuals in the group . 1,,, but he argues, "...vast reaches of culture...are discoverable only in the peculiar property of certain individuals, who cannot but give these cultural goods the i-mpress of their own personal !ty,, (L949: 20r-202) .

  • (De Beers, Or the Proponent) Has Identified a Diamond
    VICTOR DIAMOND PROJECT Comprehensive Study Report 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Overview and Background De Beers Canada Inc. (De Beers, or the Proponent) has identified a diamond resource, approximately 90 km west of the First Nation community of Attawapiskat, within the James Bay Lowlands of Ontario, (Figure 1-1). The resource consists of two kimberlite (diamond bearing ore) pipes, referred to as Victor Main and Victor Southwest. The proposed development is called the Victor Diamond Project. Appendix A is a corporate profile of De Beers, provided by the Proponent. Advanced exploration activities were carried out at the Victor site during 2000 and 2001, during which time approximately 10,000 tonnes of kimberlite were recovered from surface trenching and large diameter drilling, for on-site testing. An 80-person camp was established, along with a sample processing plant, and a winter airstrip to support the program. Desktop (2001), Prefeasibility (2002) and Feasibility (2003) engineering studies have been carried out, indicating to De Beers that the Victor Diamond Project (VDP) is technically feasible and economically viable. The resource is valued at 28.5 Mt, containing an estimated 6.5 million carats of diamonds. De Beers’ current mineral claims in the vicinity of the Victor site are shown on Figure 1-2. The Proponent’s project plan provides for the development of an open pit mine with on-site ore processing. Mining and processing will be carried out at an approximate ore throughput of 2.5 million tonnes/year (2.5 Mt/a), or about 7,000 tonnes/day. Associated project infrastructure linking the Victor site to Attawapiskat include the existing south winter road and a proposed 115 kV transmission line, and possibly a small barge landing area to be constructed in Attawapiskat for use during the project construction phase.

  • New Post Creek Project News
    New Post Creek Project News Newsletter #8 April 2012 President’s Message It has been approximately 10 months since I came on board as President of Coral Rapids Power and a lot has happened since then. This position has given me the opportunity to learn from experienced team members and build my skills. The sup- port and encouragement from the New Post Creek project team makes this part of the job enjoyable. The New Post Creek project entered into the Definition Phase in May 2011, and a year later we have completed a lot of work, but there is a lot left to do before we can start con- struction. We are mostly working on the engineering and the Environmental Assessment at this time. The Environmental Assessment commenced in Novem- ber 2011 and included the Aboriginal and Public Consulta- tion Open Houses that were held in late November. We visited Moose Cree First Nation in Moose Factory on the 28th and gave an introduction of the project. The participants at this meeting were quite positive about the project and the informa- tion was well received. There was a genuine interest in the im- pacts on fish habitat and on the Moose Cree member’s trapline that is near the proposed transmission line route. TTN mem- bers in Moosonee attended a community meeting that evening at the curling club in Moosonee. On Nov 29th a community meeting was held for TTN members at the reserve. This was a great chance to talk about the project with other community members and hear their thoughts on everything.

  • The Fiddlers of James Bay: Transatlantic Flows and Musical Indigenization Among the James Bay Cree
    The Fiddlers of James Bay: Transatlantic Flows and Musical Indigenization among the James Bay Cree FRANCES WILKINS Abstract: Fiddle music and dancing have formed a major component of the social lives of the Algonquian 57-99. 40 (1): First Nations Cree population living in the James Bay region of Ontario and Québec since the instrument and its associated repertoire were introduced to the region by British (and most notably Scottish) employees of the Hudson’s Bay Company who travelled across the Atlantic on ships from the late 17th to the 20th MUSICultures century. Based on archival research and ongoing fieldwork in the region since 2011, this article aims to explore this transatlantic musical migration from the British Isles to James Bay and the reshaping of Scottish fiddle music and dance through indigenization and incorporation into the Cree cultural milieu. By examining this area of cultural flow, the article seeks to engage with current themes in ethnomusicology on the subject and add to the growing body of knowledge surrounding them. Résumé : La danse et le violon ont constitué une composante majeure de la vie sociale de la population algonquienne de la Première nation cri vivant dans la région de la baie James, en Ontario et au Québec, puisque cet instrument et le répertoire qui lui était associé furent introduits dans la région par les employés britanniques (et plus particulièrement écossais) de la Compagnie de la Baie d’Hudson, qui ont traversé l’Atlantique à partir de la fin du 17e siècle jusqu’au 20e siècle. Cet article, qui se fonde sur une recherche en archives et un travail de terrain continu dans la région depuis 2011, cherche à explorer cette migration musicale transatlantique depuis les îles britanniques jusqu’à la baie James, ainsi que le remodelage et la reconstitution de la musique au violon et de la danse écossaise par le biais de leur indigénisation dans le milieu culturel cri.

    WORKING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER IN MOOSONEE AND MOOSE FACTORY HERE TO STAY, GONE TOMORROW: WORKING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER IN MOOSONEE AND MOOSE FACTORY By JENNIFER MARIE DAWSON, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial FulfIllment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University (c) Copyright by Jennifer Marie Dawson, September 1995 MASTER OF ARTS (1995) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (Anthropology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Here to Stay, Gone Tomorrow: Working as a Service Provider in Moosonee and Moose Factory AUTHOR: Jennifer Marie Dawson, B.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Professor Wayne Warry NUMBER OF PAGES: iv, 264 11 ABSTRACT The experience of a service provider living and working in Moosonee and Moose Factory is largely determined by whether the individual is Cree and from these communities, or is non-Native and from "the south". This study examines these experiences in terms of stress and coping, loosely adopting and occasionally critiquing Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) definitions of these concepts. The cultural and historical factors which influence stress and coping are emphasized without denying the importance of contemporary circumstances in these politically and socially turbulent communities. Non-Native or "southern" service providers are outsiders. They are kept at a distance both by their own interpretation of and reaction to "difference" and by others who are suspicious of their motivations and commitment. Some cope with their outsider status by reinforcing it; they withdraw from active personal and professional participation in community. But instead of refusing to change and clinging desperately to what is familiar, those southerners who have remained the longest in these northern locales are willing to acknowledge the relevance and rewards of different ways of living and working.

  • Notes on Cynipid Galls, Ground Beetles and Ground-Dwelling Spiders Collected at Fort Severn, Ontario JOSEPH D
    ARCTIC VOL. 56, NO. 2 (JUNE 2003) P. 159–167 Notes on Cynipid Galls, Ground Beetles and Ground-Dwelling Spiders Collected at Fort Severn, Ontario JOSEPH D. SHORTHOUSE,1 HENRI GOULET2 and DAVID P. SHORTHOUSE3 (Received 22 November 2001; accepted in revised form 19 August 2002) ABSTRACT. A brief collecting trip to Fort Severn, Ontario (55˚59' N, 87˚38' W), in May 2001 revealed galls of three species of cynipid wasps (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on the wild rose Rosa acicularis. Roses and cynipid galls occur along the banks of the Severn River above the tree line because of clay deposits, heat, and rafts of vegetation carried north by the river. Ground beetles and spiders were collected with pitfall traps. Our identification of 15 species of ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), two of them new records for Ontario, and 11 species of ground spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae), all new records for northwestern Ontario, indicates that the invertebrate fauna in the area has been poorly studied. Roads and trails away from Fort Severn, regularly scheduled airline service, and convenient accommodations make the area ideal for biological studies. Key words: cynipid galls, wild roses, ground beetles, ground-dwelling spiders, Fort Severn RÉSUMÉ. Une brève sortie de prélèvement à Fort Severn, en Ontario (55˚ 59' de lat. N., 87˚ 38' de long. O.), effectuée en mai 2001 a révélé l’existence de galles de trois espèces de cynips du rosier (hyménoptères: cynipidés) sur le rosier aciculaire Rosa acicularis. On trouve ce dernier et les galles du rosier le long des rives de la Severn au-dessus de la limite forestière en raison des dépôts d’argile, de la chaleur et de la végétation flottante que transporte la rivière en direction du Nord.
