When the Spirit Calls
Author: Edward J. Hedican
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487546696
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
In January 1832, in the most southern part of Ontario’s James Bay, an elderly Cree man by the name of Quapakay was told by the spirits of the shaking tent that in order to survive the winter, he was required to "spoil" the post at Hannah Bay, a Hudson's Bay Company goose hunting station. Following the directions of the spirits, Quapakay and his sons carried out this ill-fated task, resulting in the deaths of sixteen occupants of the Hannah Bay post. Now known as the "Hannah Bay Massacre," the victims included fur trader William Corrigal, the postmaster and his wife, and seven other Indigenous people. When the Spirit Calls explores the social, cultural, and historical context in which the Hannah Bay tragedy took place, as gleaned from the Hudson Bay Company’s archival records and elucidations by Cree oral traditions. The research is the culmination of over forty years of investigation by Edward J. Hedican in Indigenous communities, from the mid-1970s to the present day. In the book, Hedican aims to uncover the circumstances, behaviours, and attitudes that led to the slaughter. When the Spirit Calls sheds light on the racist attitudes held by the white settler population towards Indigenous people – attitudes that were prevalent in our colonial past and that continue to this very day.

The Hunting Group--hunting Territory Complex Among the Mistassini Indians
Author: Edward S. Rogers
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Anthropology
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
"For nearly fifty years now, various anthropologists have been concerned with the genesis of the "hunting group" and the 'hunting territory system" as found among native peoples in northeastern North America. The results of their work have led to two major contrasting views regarding the origin of the hunting group and hunting territory. One theory states that these phenomena were aboriginal, predating European contact. The other theory is that they resulted from contact with Europeans, especially through the aegis of the fur trade."--Introduction.
