| charles racette: North American Indian Anthropology Raymond J. DeMallie, Alfonso Ortiz, 1994 These essays explore the blending of structural and historical approaches to American Indian anthropology that characterizes the perspective developed by the late Fred Eggan and his students at the University of Chicago. They include studies of kinship and social organization, politics, religion, law, ethnicity, and art. Many reflect Eggan's method of controlled comparison, a tool for reconstructing social and cultural change over time. Together these essays make substantial descriptive contributions to American Indian anthropology, presenting contemporary interpretations of diverse groups from the Hudson Bay Inuit in the north to the Highland Maya of Chiapas in the south. The collection will serve as an introduction to Native American social and cultural anthropology for readers interested in the dynamics of Indian social life. |
| charles racette: The Journey Bill Gallaher, 2011-07-06 Bill Gallaher’s bestselling novel The Journey follows a group of three adventurous Overlanders—two young men and one remarkable woman—as they travel west in 1862, from the Manitoba prairies to the goldfields of the Cariboo. With his gift for storytelling, Gallaher brings this intriguing era to the page as he vividly recounts the overland trek of the spirited Catherine Schubert, who made the trip in an undetected state of pregnancy; James Sellar, a combative young man of rigid determination; and Thomas McMicking, the visionary captain of the often unruly company. Reprinted with an appealing new look, this popular novel is an engaging and moving tribute to a band of heroic pioneers. “Rich in detail . . . A highly readable account of one of the most interesting, and most important, chapters in BC’s history.”—Times Colonist “A captivating account of memorable heroic characters . . . a polished historical reconstruction.”—Kamloops Daily News |

| charles racette: Friends, Foes, and Furs Harry W. Duckworth, 2019-12-26 George Nelson (1786-1859) was a clerk for the North West Company whose unusually detailed and personal writings provide a compelling portrait of the people engaged in the golden age of the Canadian fur trade. Friends, Foes, and Furs is a critical edition of Nelson's daily journals, supplemented with exciting anecdotes from his Reminiscences, which were written after his retirement to Lower Canada. An introduction and annotations by Harry Duckworth place Nelson's material securely within the established body of fur trade history. This series of journals gives readers a first-person account of Nelson's life and career, from his arrival at the age of eighteen in Lake Winnipeg, where he was stationed as an apprentice clerk from 1804 to 1813, to his second service from 1818 to 1819 and an 1822 canoe journey through the region. A keen and respectful observer, Nelson recorded in his daily journals not only the minutiae of his work, but also details about the lives of voyageurs, the Ojibwe and Swampy Cree communities, and others involved in the fur trade. His insights uncover an extraordinary view of the Lake Winnipeg region in the period just prior to European settlement. Making the full extent of George Nelson's journals available for the first time, Friends, Foes, and Furs is an intriguing account of one man's adventures in the fur trade in prairie Canada. |
| charles racette: Déploiements canadiens-français et métis en Amérique du Nord (18e-20e siècle) Yves Frenette, Marc St-Hilaire, Marie-Ève Harton, 2023-09-27 Déploiements canadiens-français et métis en Amérique du Nord (18e-20e siècle) sheds new light on French-Canadian and Métis deployments in North America by showing how migration has influenced social development and collective identity. Each of the eleven chapters addresses a facet of these movements from the mid-18th century to the Great Depression, primarily in five geographic areas—Quebec, Manitoba, New England, the American Midwest and the Pacific Coast. This work is part of the research movement that gives geographical mobility, migration and those involved their rightful place in the origins and evolution of francophone communities in North America. The successful completion of this research is due in part to the recent contribution of population microdatabases (primarily censuses and civil registers), which were combined, as well as the digitization of numerous historical archives. The chapters —from a variety of disciplines (demography, history, geography, literary studies and sociology)—trace itineraries that illustrate mobility at various temporal, spatial and social scales. |

| charles racette: The Company of Adventurers Isaac Cowie, 1993-01-01 The Hudson's Bay Company had been operating for nearly two centuries when young Isaac Cowie joined it in 1867. He sailed from the Shetland Islands to Rupert's Land, finally reaching York Factory, where he awaited his assignment. Company of Adventurers describes the early, lusty history of the HBC and the years of Cowie's service, when manufactured goods were driving out the demand for furs and buffalo hides. It contains rare information about the Assiniboin and Plains Crees Indians during the period before their confinement to reservations. Alive to the historical and ethnographic value of his writing, Cowie tells about his tenure as a clerk (later manager) at Fort Qu'Appelle in southern Saskatchewan, the colorful personalities who served with him, the wide-ranging fur brigades, remote outposts, and the Company's relations with Indian tribes. He was the first white man known to have set foot within the Swift Current District when in 1868 he hunted buffalo there. His dealings with the Mätis during the Red River Rebellion placed him where history was being made. In an introduction to this Bison Book edition, David Reed Miller discusses how Cowie fitted into a great commercial enterprise and how he became a victim of unpleasant circumstances that forced his retirement in 1891. |

| charles racette: Contours of a People Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, Brenda Macdougall, 2014-12-18 What does it mean to be Metis? How do the Metis understand their world, and how do family, community, and location shape their consciousness? Such questions inform this collection of essays on the northwestern North American people of mixed European and Native ancestry who emerged in the seventeenth century as a distinct culture. Volume editors Nicole St-Onge, Carolyn Podruchny, and Brenda Macdougall go beyond the concern with race and ethnicity that takes center stage in most discussions of Metis culture to offer new ways of thinking about Metis identity. Geography, mobility, and family have always defined Metis culture and society. The Metis world spanned the better part of a continent, and a major theme of Contours of a People is the Metis conception of geography—not only how Metis people used their environments but how they gave meaning to place and developed connections to multiple landscapes. Their geographic familiarity, physical and social mobility, and maintenance of family ties across time and space appear to have evolved in connection with the fur trade and other commercial endeavors. These efforts, and the cultural practices that emerged from them, have contributed to a sense of community and the nationalist sentiment felt by many Metis today. Writing about a wide geographic area, the contributors consider issues ranging from Metis rights under Canadian law and how the Library of Congress categorizes Metis scholarship to the role of women in maintaining economic and social networks. The authors’ emphasis on geography and its power in shaping identity will influence and enlighten Canadian and American scholars across a variety of disciplines. |
| charles racette: Peter of the Prairies Dale Gibson, Sandra Mosher Anderson, 2025-02-21 It is as a diarist that Peter Garrioch (1811-1888), teacher, free trader, trail-blazer, contrarian, smuggler, missionary, farmer, community leader, politician, postmaster, and justice of the peace, has taken his place in the history of Rupert’s Land and Western Canada. From 1837 to 1847, Peter kept a sporadic personal journal, setting down in a distinctive, often humorous, sometimes angry, voice, both his own activities and the momentous, picayune, comic, tragic, or everyday events of the frontier life he observed around him as he developed into a leader of the Metis opposition to the Hudson’s Bay Company’s trading practices. Based on the unpublished typescript and notes of the diarist’s nephew, George Henry Gunn (1865 – 1945), the editors have added explanatory notes, appendices, and historical context to their publication of Peter’s vivid diary account. |

| charles racette: Les voyageurs et leur monde Carolyn Podruchny, 2011-10-06T00:00:00-04:00 Les travailleurs canadiens-français qui pagayaient dans les canots, transportaient des marchandises et étaient affectés dans les postes les plus septentrionaux de l'Amérique du Nord à l'époque de la traite des fourrures sont entrés dans la culture populaire sous le nom de voyageurs. Les chercheurs universitaires autant que les vulgarisateurs de l'histoire leur ont attribué le rôle romantique de joyeux et robustes héros qui ont frayé le chemin à la colonisation européenne dans le Nord-Ouest sauvage. Carolyn Podruchny regarde au-delà des stéréotypes pour révéler les contours des vies des voyageurs, leur vision du monde et leurs valeurs. Les voyageurs et leur monde démontre que les voyageurs avaient développé des identités distinctes, modelées par leur racines de paysans canadiens-français, les peuples autochtones qu'ils rencontraient dans le Nord-Ouest et la nature de leur emploi, engagés à contrat dans des environnements divers. Les identités des voyageurs s'imprégnaient également de leurs constants périples et de leur propre idéal de masculinité qui valorisait la force, l'endurance et l'audace. Bien qu'il soit difficile d'entendre les voix des voyageurs dans les documents d'archives, il est possible d'y découvrir une impressionnante quantité d'informations dans les descriptions laissées par leurs maîtres, les explorateurs et d'autres personnes de passage. En analysant leurs vies en conjonction avec la métaphore du voyage, Carolyn Podruchny ne fait pas que révéler la vie quotidienne de ceux qu'elle examine - ce qu'ils mangeaient, leur consmologie et leurs rituels festifs, leurs familles et, par-dessus tout, leur travail -, elle souligne aussi leur influence sur le paysage social et culturel de l'Amérique du Nord. |
