Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La réalisation de l’aménagement hydroélectrique de l’Eastmain-1 a créé en 2006 un réservoir de 603 kilomètres carrés sur le territoire d’Eeyou Istchee Baie-James. Des recherches archéologiques préventives y ont été menées entre 2002 et 2005 dans le cadre des études environnementales de la Société d’énergie de la Baie James et du Programme sur l’archéologie et le patrimoine culturel prévues par une convention avec le peuple cri. Grâce à une collaboration remarquable entre les équipes d’archéologues, de géographes et d’ethnologues d’Arkéos inc., le consultant retenu, et de l’Administration régionale crie, un travail colossal a été entrepris et les recherches aux abords de la rivière Eastmain ont conduit à la mise au jour de 158 sites couvrant cinq millénaires d’occupation humaine. Les 18 contributions abordent autant d’angles de discussion relatifs au milieu naturel, à l’histoire culturelle et aux vestiges mis au jour, mais c’est l’amour de ces terres et de la rivière qui s’exprime dans chaque page de cet ouvrage.

Download or read book Gifts from the Thunder Beings written by Roland Bohr and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gifts from the Thunder Beings examines North American Aboriginal peoples’ use of Indigenous and European distance weapons in big-game hunting and combat. Beyond the capabilities of European weapons, Aboriginal peoples’ ways of adapting and using this technology in combination with Indigenous weaponry contributed greatly to the impact these weapons had on Aboriginal cultures. This gradual transition took place from the beginning of the fur trade in the Hudson’s Bay Company trading territory to the treaty and reserve period that began in Canada in the 1870s. Technological change and the effects of European contact were not uniform throughout North America, as Roland Bohr illustrates by comparing the northern Great Plains and the Central Subarctic—two adjacent but environmentally different regions of North America—and their respective Indigenous cultures. Beginning with a brief survey of the subarctic and Northern Plains environments and the most common subsistence strategies in these regions around the time of contact, Bohr provides the context for a detailed examination of social, spiritual, and cultural aspects of bows, arrows, quivers, and firearms. His detailed analysis of the shifting usage of bows and arrows and firearms in the northern Great Plains and the Central Subarctic makes Gifts from the Thunder Beings an important addition to the canon of North American ethnology.
