Download or read book Paul Kane's Great Nor-West written by Sheila Urbanek and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautifully designed and richly illustrated book, Diane Eaton and Sheila Urbanek re-create Paul Kane's heroic journey across Canada and bring to life the people, places, and events he experienced. Determined to document the lives and customs of the Indians of the Northwest, Paul Kane set out in 1845 to cross the continent 'with no companions but my portfolio and a box of paints, my gun and a stock of ammunition.' Travelling via the Hudson's Bay Company fur brigade routes, he made his way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast and back again. When he returned to Toronto in the fall of 1848, he brought back some 500 field sketches as well as a remarkable collection of Indian 'curiosities,' which he used as raw material for one hundred oil paintings depicting scenes of Indian life. While the carefully executed oil paintings are deliberately romanticized images of the west, the original field sketches convey Kane's immediate impressions and offer tantalizing glimpses of what he describes as the 'wild scenes amongst which I strayed almost alone.' A fascinating complement to the sketches is contained in a small diary Kane kept while on his journey -- brief and plainspoken, these entries were jotted down in his own idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation. Illustrated with a wide selection of the field sketches as well as his better-known oil paintings, this book reintroduces this remarkable artist to a modern audience.

Book Synopsis Culturing Wilderness in Jasper National Park by : I.S. MacLaren
Download or read book Culturing Wilderness in Jasper National Park written by I.S. MacLaren and published by University of Alberta. This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adults need playgrounds. In 1907, the Canadian government designated a vast section of the Rocky Mountains as Jasper Forest Park. Tourists now play where Native peoples once lived, fur traders toiled, and Métis families homesteaded. In Culturing Wilderness in Jasper National Park, I.S. MacLaren and eight other writers unearth the largely unrecorded past of the upper Athabasca River watershed, and bring to light two centuries' worth of human history, tracing the evolution of trading routes into the Rockies' largest park. Serious history enthusiasts and those with an interest in Canada's national parks will find a sense of connection in this long overdue study of Jasper.

Book Synopsis Myth and Memory by : John Sutton Lutz
Download or read book Myth and Memory written by John Sutton Lutz and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moment of contact between two peoples, two alien societies, marks the opening of an epoch and the joining of histories. What if it had happened differently? The stories that indigenous peoples and Europeans tell about their first encounters with one another are enormously valuable historical records, but their relevance extends beyond the past. Settler populations and indigenous peoples the world over are engaged in negotiations over legitimacy, power, and rights. These struggles cannot be dissociated from written and oral accounts of "contact" moments, which not only shape our collective sense of history but also guide our understanding of current events. For all their importance, contact stories have not been systematically or critically evaluated as a genre. Myth and Memory explores the narratives of indigenous and newcomer populations from New Zealand and across North America, from the Lost Colony of Roanoke on the Atlantic seaboard of the United States to the Pacific Northwest and as far as Sitka, Alaska. It illustrates how indigenous and explorer accounts of the same meetings reflect fundamentally different systems of thought, and focuses on the cultural misunderstandings embedded in these stories. The contributors discuss the contemporary relevance, production, and performance of Aboriginal and European contact narratives, and introduce new tools for interpreting the genre. They argue that we are still in the contact zone, striving to understand the meaning of contact and the relationship between indigenous and settler populations.

Book Synopsis Paul Kane's Great Nor-West by : Diane F. Eaton
Download or read book Paul Kane's Great Nor-West written by Diane F. Eaton and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Determined to document the lives and customs of the Native people of the Northwest before contact with white settlers changed them forever, the Canadian artists Paul Kane set out in 1845 to cross the continent 'with no companions but my portfolio and a box of paints, my gun and a stock of ammunition.' Travelling by canoe and snowshoe, on foot and on horseback via the Hudson's Bay Company fur brigade routes, he made his way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast and back again. When he returned to Toronto in the fall of 1848, he brought back some five hundred field sketches and a remarkable collection of artifacts, which he used as raw material for one hundred oil paintings depicting scenes of Native life. While the carefully executed oil paintings are deliberately romaticized images of the West that conform to nineteenth-century standards of taste, the original field sketches, which are not widely known, are fresher, more objective and authentic, more direct and undeliberated. A fascinating complement to the sketches is a small diary that Kane kept while on his journey. Brief and plainspoken, its entries were jotted down with idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation. In 1859, Kane published a journal based on these notes, which became a bestseller in Europe and North America. In Paul Kane's Great Nor-West, Diana Eaton and Sheila Urbanek recreate Kane's heroic journey and bring to life the people and places he encountered. Their narrative supplies the historical context to illuminate his travels, while frequently drawing on Kane's own words from his diary and published journal. The voice of the artist himself is heard in descriptions of one of the last great buffalo hunts, of a desperate winter crossing over the Rockies, of the impassioned 'crying of war' of a Cree chief, and of many other unique experiences. Illustrated with a wide selection of the field sketches as well as his better known oil paintings, Paul Kane's Great Nor-West reintroduces this remarkable artist to a modern audience. It not only celebrates his extraordinary journey but also creates a unique and immensely varied panorama of the nineteenth century 'Great Nor-West.'
