  • Medicine Wheels
    The central rock pile was 14 feet high with several cairns spanned out in different directions, aligning to various stars. Astraeoastronomers have determined that one cairn pointed to Capella, the ideal North sky marker hundreds of years ago. At least two cairns aligned with the solstice sunrise, while the others aligned with the rising points of bright stars that signaled the summer solstice 2000 years ago (Olsen, B, 2008). Astrological alignments of the five satellite cairns around the central mound of Moose Mountain Medicine Wheel from research by John A. Eddy Ph.D. National Geographic January 1977. MEDICINE WHEELS Medicine wheels are sacred sites where stones placed in a circle or set out around a central cairn. Researchers claim they are set up according to the stars and planets, clearly depicting that the Moose Mountain area has been an important spiritual location for millennia. 23 Establishing Cultural Connections to Archeological Artifacts Archeologists have found it difficult to establish links between artifacts and specific cultural groups. It is difficult to associate artifacts found in burial or ancient camp sites with distinct cultural practices because aboriginal livelihood and survival techniques were similar between cultures in similar ecosystem environments. Nevertheless, burial sites throughout Saskatchewan help tell the story of the first peoples and their cultures. Extensive studies of archeological evidence associated with burial sites have resulted in important conclusions with respect to the ethnicity of the people using the southeast Saskatchewan region over the last 1,000 years. In her Master Thesis, Sheila Dawson (1987) concluded that the bison culture frequently using this area was likely the Sioux/ Assiniboine people.

  • 37 the "Bowrey" Dictionary and Henry Kelsey H. Christoph Wolfart
    37 The "Bowrey" Dictionary and Henry Kelsey H. Christoph Wolfart University of Manitoba David H. Pentland University of Calgary The collections of the British Museum include what appears to be the earliest substantial document of Cree: a pamphlet of seven pages in folio, without any overt indication of author, date or place of printing. The only explicit iden­ tification is the title: A Dictionary of the Hudson's-Bay Indian Language. Thomas Bowrey This dictionary of approximately 600 entries has long been associated with the name of Thomas Bowrey. For Algonquian- ists, the most important citation is that of Pilling (1891: 54-55) who, if he had any doubts about the dictionary's authorship, expresses them only by the explicit mention of his sources: Ludewig's Literature of American Aboriginal Languages of 1858 which, he claims erroneously, followed the Bibliotheca Britannica of Robert Watt, published in 1824. Bowrey also appears as the author in most general biblio­ graphies, notably Sabin's Dictionary of Books Relating to America (vol. 2, 1869) and both editions (1956, 1973) of Peel's Bibliography of the Prairie Provinces. Apart from a few oblique remarks, Algonquianists have ignored the Dictionary of the Hudson's-Bay Indian Language, and not even its presumed author—otherwise unknown in early North America—appears to have elicited much interest. The only question about Bowrey's authorship was raised by the editor of his papers (Temple 1905:xli) who concludes rather diffidently that "if the Dictionary ... were really the work of Bowrey, then he must also have voyaged to North America." Thomas Bowrey was a "free merchant" whose life spanned many voyages to India (mainly between 1669 and 1679) and a number of European enterprises.

  • BOOK REVIEWS the Journal of Henry Kelsey, 1691-1692. by CHARLES NAPIER BELL, LL.D., F.R.G.S., &C
    BOOK REVIEWS The Journal of Henry Kelsey, 1691-1692. By CHARLES NAPIER BELL, LL.D., F.R.G.S., &c. (Winnipeg: Dawson Richardson Publications, Limited, for The Historical and Scientific So­ ciety of Manitoba, May 1928. Pp. 43. With maps.) Professor Bell describes Henry Kelsey as being "the fii'st white man to reach the Saskatchewan River from Hudson's Bay, and the first to see the Buffalo and Grizzly Bear of the Canadian Plains," and in the 43 pages of the brochure proceeds to demon­ strate the accuracy of the statement. In driving home his points, the learned author shows that he had searched diligently and pain­ stakingly into the highways and byways of original sources, and the result is a comprehensive mass of information condensed 111 a remarkably small compass, much of it being made available to the general public for the first time. Kelsey was an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company in whose service he was from 1683 until 1722, a period of thirty­ nine years, most of it spent on Hudson's Bay. When he landed at York Factory, the Company was only in the thirteenth year of its existance. In 1689 he was put ashore north of Churchill River, wi'th an Indian lad as his sole companion, with instructions to journey into the northern country with the object of persuad­ ing the natives to bring their trade to the Company. He journeyed two hundred miles into the wilderness, which, so far as known records go, had until then been untrodden by any European.

  • The Verse Journal of Henry Kelsey
    ccSet Forth as Plainly May Appear": The Verse Journal of Henry Kelsey D. M. R. BENTLEY T JLHE VERSE JOURNAL of Henry Kelsey (c. 1667-1774)1 is the earliest first-hand account in poetry of a part of what has become Canada. In the spring of 1691, probably on "a bend in the Sas• katchewan River about twelve miles below [what is now] The Pas, Manitoba" (DCB II 309), Kelsey, then a young servant of the Hudson's Bay Company, planted a "Cross" at a place that he had earlier christened "deerings point" after Sir Edward Dering, the deputy governor of the HBC. Kelsey later used this event to con• clude his brief verse journal about his "Journey" in 1690-91 from York Factory on Hudson Bay to the Canadian plains: At deerings point after the frost I set up their a Certain Cross In token of my being there Cut out on it the date of year And Likewise for me to veryfie the same added to it my master sir Edward deerings name So having not more to trouble you with all I am Sir your most obedient and faithfull Servant at Command HENRY KELSEY (83-90)2 In these lines, and in the verse journal or epistle that they conclude, can be discerned the beginning of the complex relations among words, things, subjects, landscapes, and audiences whose permuta• tions and combinations constitute the poetry of Canada. Usually dismissed as mere doggerel — most recently in The Canadian En• cyclopedia (see Marsh, 935) — Kelsey's poem is a work of some poetic skill which amply repays close attention to its rhetorical and ARIEL: A Review of International English Literature, 21:4, October 1990 10 D.

Cox Date Department Chair ABSTRACT THE INFLUENCE OF THE HUDSON’S BAY COMPANY IN THE EXPLORATION AND SETTLEMENT OF THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF THE NORTH As beaver became scarcer in the east, the quest for Castor Canadensis sent traders into the northern plains. Reluctant explorers, traders looked for easier access and cheaper means of transport. Initially content to wait on the shores of the Bay, HBC was forced to meet their competitors in the natives’ homelands. The Red River Valley was easily accessed from Hudson’s Bay, becoming the center of the fur trade in the northern plains. HBC helped colonize the first permanent settlement west of the Great Lakes in the Red River Valley.

  • Conservation of the Grizzly- Ecologic and Cuttural Considerations
    PANEL 5: BEARS AND HUMAN BEINGS Conservation of the Grizzly- Ecologic and Cuttural Considerations A. M. STEBLER Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife,Washington,D.C. The idea that before settlement the grizzly occurred far across the prairie eastward of the Rocky Mountains has prevailed for a long time (Seton 1929; Hall & Kelson 1959). Since the geographic distribution of a species is a matter of ecologic significance, it may be worthwhile to examine this information. It is recognized, of course, that a line on a map demarking the outer limit of a distribution in any direction does not represent necessarily either a continuous or static situation. The distribution of a species not only will be in accordance with its habitat, but also the extremistics of this will vary time--and--place- wise according to prevailing conditions. These often are most variable at a range periphery. My concern in this paper is with the distribution of the g.rizzly bear on the prairie east of the rocky Mountains from Canada's Saskatchewan River south- ward to the Arkansas River in the United States. For information bearing on this matter, recourse was taken to a part of our heritage of historical litera- ture, which is the source of an abundance of little used natural history informa- tion. Henry Kelsey (1929) seems to have been the first European adventurer to leave a record concerning the grizzly in the mid-continent region. In his journal entry for 20 August 1691, he provides a description of this bear which is sur- prisingly brief considering it was doubtless a new experience.
