Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, there was a wide-spread belief that Canada's northland comprised millions of acres just waiting to be exploited for settlement. The New Northwest tells the fascinating and little-known history of the explorations of the northern reaches of the Prairie Provinces that began in the 1850s and culminated in the expeditions of Frank Crean, a civil engineer in the federal Department of the Interior. Early explorations of the area north of the North Saskatchewan River stirred the imaginations of politicians and ordinary Canadians, and resulted in glowing stories of the region's potential. Following his first expedition in 1908, Crean reported enthusiastically about the successful farms and gardens he found at missions, fur trade posts, and at Indian and Metis settlements. Newspapers raved about the expedition and its findings, and Crean's second expedition in 1909 seemed to confirm the great expectations for the region. The vision of a prosperous, settled northland was never realized - the boom years gave way to a recession, and subsequent surveys found little land of agricultural value - but the story of Frank Crean's explorations, the government's enthusiastic backing of his work, and the public's eager reception of his reports are representative of a period in Canadian history when there was unparalleled belief in the country and its people. The photographs in this collection, coupled with Bill Waiser's lively writing, capture the final days of the Old Northwest and its unique way of life, and constitutes a wonderful visual portrait of a land and its people.

Book excerpt: Hunters at the Margin examines the conflict in the Northwest Territories between Native hunters and conservationists over three big game species: the wood bison, the muskox, and the caribou. John Sandlos argues that the introduction of game regulations, national parks, and game sanctuaries was central to the assertion of state authority over the traditional hunting cultures of the Dene and Inuit. His archival research undermines the assumption that conservationists were motivated solely by enlightened preservationism, revealing instead that commercial interests were integral to wildlife management in Canada.

Download or read book Forest Prairie Edge written by Merle Massie and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2014-04-26 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saskatchewan is the anchor and epitome of the ‘prairie’ provinces, even though half of the province is covered by boreal forest. The Canadian penchant for dividing this vast country into easily-understood ‘regions’ has reduced the Saskatchewan identity to its southern prairie denominator and has distorted cultural and historical interpretations to favor the prairie south. Forest Prairie Edge is a deep-time investigation of the edge land, or ecotone, between the open prairies and boreal forest region of Saskatchewan. Ecotones are transitions from one landscape to another, where social, economic, and cultural practices of different landscapes are blended. Using place history and edge theory, Massie considers the role and importance of the edge ecotone in building a diverse social and economic past that contradicts traditional “prairie” narratives around settlement, economic development, and culture. She offers a refreshing new perspective that overturns long-held assumptions of the prairies and the Canadian west.
