Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National historic sites commemorate decisive moments in the making of Canada. But seen through an environmental lens, these sites become artifacts of a bigger story: the occupation and transformation of nature into nation. In an age of pressing discussions about environmental sustainability, there is a growing need to know more about the history of our relationship with the natural world and what lessons these places of public history, regional identity, and national narrative can teach us. Nature, Place, and Story provides new interpretations for five of Canada’s largest and most iconic historic sites (two of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites): L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland; Grand Pré, Nova Scotia; Fort William, Ontario; the Forks of the Red River, Manitoba; and the Bar U Ranch, Alberta. At each location, Claire Campbell rewrites public history as environmental history, revealing the country’s debt to the power and fragility of the natural world, and the relevance of the past to understanding climate change, agricultural sustainability, wilderness protection, urban reclamation, and fossil fuel extraction. From the medieval Atlantic to modern ranchlands, environmental history speaks directly to contemporary questions about the health of Canada’s habitat. Bringing together public and environmental history in an entirely new way, Nature, Place, and Story is a lively and ambitious call for a fresh perspective on natural heritage.

Download or read book Negotiating the Past written by Christopher James Taylor and published by McGill Queens Univ. This book was released on 1990 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negotiating the Past is a history of the Canadian federal government's historic parks and sites program. C.J. Taylor traces the progress of the program through its beginning with nationalist organizations in the 1880s, its formal establishment in 1919, and its full bloom in the 1960s. He examines the continuing attempts to establish a policy for the preservation and treatment of federally recognised heritage properties and argues that the program was affected by the dynamic interplay between the heritage movement and its various local componenents, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, the National Parks Branch, and elected officials. This process of negotiation, "the politics of historic sites," explains how competing regional, local, racial, and ethnic perspectives on the importance of events in Canadian history determined the selection, interpretation, and development of historic sites.

Download or read book Authorized Heritage written by Robert Coutts and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Authorized Heritage" analyses the history of commemoration at heritage sites across western Canada. Using extensive research from predominantly government records, it argues that heritage narratives are almost always based on national messages that commonly reflect colonial perceptions of the past. Yet many of the places that commemorate Indigenous, fur trade, and settler histories are contested spaces, places such as Batoche, Seven Oaks, and Upper Fort Garry being the most obvious. At these heritage sites, Indigenous views of history confront the conventions of settler colonial pasts and represent the fluid cultural perspectives that should define the shifting ground of heritage space. Robert Coutts brings his many years of experience as a public historian to this detailed examination of heritage sites across the prairies. He shows how the process of commemoration often reflects social and cultural perspectives that privilege a conventional and conservative national narrative. He also examines how class, gender, and sexuality often remain apart from the heritage discourse. Most notably, Authorized Heritage examines how governments became the mediators of what is heritage and, just as significantly, what is not.
Download or read book Heritage Conservation written by Marie-Claude Langlois and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 20 th century, the Canadian government has assigned federal heritage designation to over 970 national historic sites. These sites, which are located in every region of the country (see Appendix A), make up a system of extremely varied localities that bear witness to defining moments in Canada's history. By illustrating the creativity and cultural traditions of our country's people, these sites give us a better understanding of how Canada was built. At the federal level, the Parks Canada Agency is responsible for preparing a directory of all national historic sites and for administering some of them. The Agency also manages a funding program for sites that do not belong to the federal government, and supports an advisory board responsible for designating sites. This paper gives an overview of the designation process and of the administration of Canada's national historic sites. It then gives a brief description of the condition of these sites during the past few years. It goes on to discuss the recent federal public service strategic review, in particular the budget cuts in the 2012 Budget that affected Parks Canada, and the impact of these cuts on the federal government's ability to fulfill its mandate to administer and preserve national historic sites.
