Indians and their hunting privileges
In another portion of this newspaper today is a letter written by a member of the Red Rock Indian Band in which he sets forth, for the benefit of the public, the circumstances under which he is being charged by Ontario law enforcement officers with having game out of season.
It is another cropping up of the old Robinson Treaty which is quoted in every one of the several incidents of the kind.  The Treaty was negotiated in 1850 by Hon. W.E. Robinson with the Ojibways of Lake Superior.  The Indians gave up rights to all of this part of Canada in return for certain reserves, annuities and the right to hunt and fish over these lands in perpetuity “ as long as grass grows, sun shines and rivers flow.”
The sun still shines, the grass grows and rivers are flowing, the Indians have their reserves and they are paid their annuities but from time to time Ontario law officers arrest and bring into the courts various individuals of the Indian bands found in possession of game when it is out of season for the white man.  Magistrates frequently find against the Indians although the latter are usually defended by the representatives of the Indian Department at Ottawa.
Thus, sharp controversy arises in almost every instance.  Some appeals have been made to higher courts and some of the judgements rendered against Indians in the lower courts have been reversed.
The peculiar thing is that, after nearly a century in which there have been almost innumerable cases, the exact status of the treaty has not been defined.  The higher courts in Canada seem to be favourable to the treaty and there is reason to believe that the general public would support the contentions on behalf of the Indians.  The Indians have proved themselves good citizens, are generally law abiding and have always answered the call to service when issued.  Some citizens have been known to say that when officers seize meat, taken by the Indians as food for themselves and families, they are stealing in the same sense that they would be stealing if they entered a city home and removed food.
This Treaty and the hearing thereon of Ontario laws should as soon as possible be sent to the Supreme Courts and if necessary the Privy Council for an adjudication which would put an end to such incidents as brought forth the letter published today.
The Letter
Indian Hits Deer Killing Charge;
Claims Protection Under Treaty
To the Editor of the News-Chronicle. (April 23, 1938)
Sir – I am an Indian, No. 183 of the Red Rock Band, Port Arthur Agency, and my permanent home is at Nipigon, but I spend a lot of my time at my Winter cabin which is situated in the woods several miles from here.  As I make my living mostly by hunting and fishing, I find it cheaper and more convenient  to live there than in town.  I have partly lost the use of one of my hands, where part of it has been blown off by a gun some years ago in an accident. My eyesight is also very defective  and I do not see well even with glasses.   For the above reasons I am at times obliged to make us(e) of a snare in order to kill deer and other game, as I cannot use a rifle very well but must have meat for our own use.
Some time ago I had to resort to the use of the snare again  and killed a deer.  In the early part of March one of the Wardens of the Game and Fisheries Department, who had apparently seen  my snare came to me and demanded that I remove  the snare immediately, declaring it illegal.  I explained to him why I had to resort to that method of obtaining meat for myself but promised that I would at once remove the snare, which I did.
Some time later, on the 23rd of March, he appeared again at my place and made a search for meat. Of course, he found it, as I had made no attempt to hide what I had as I believe that our treaty gave us full right to kill deer and other game for our own consumption.  He informed me that I had no such right and was obliged to comply with the game laws same as a white.
I reported the matter to Mr. Burk our Indian Agent  and asked him to see what can be done, as it not only affected me but also affected other Indians as well, especially now when they are so poor on account of scarcity of work, and depend largely on wild game for their living.
On the 1st day of April the Warden came to me again to say that he was laying a charge against me for killing deer and having meat in my possession.  I again notified our agent through our Chief whom I understand  was told that necessary steps would be taken.  I am now expecting to be taken to face the charge in court at any time.
I have been told from other sources  that the Ontario Game and Fisheries Department do not recognize the  Robinson Treaty as being still valid, maintaining that they now have the full control of the game question even where Indians are involved.
This is a grave matter not only for my own personal reasons  but as it affects the welfare of the other Indians as well. In many cases it is a matter of life or death.
May I point out in closing that through no fault of the Indians has the game become almost exhausted, but through the inroads of white hunters and pulpwood and mining activities in the district.  We were promised in the Robinson Treaty   that we could hunt and fish as long as the grass grew, the rivers flowed and the sun shone, and I trust that you as our guardians will do all that you can to help us in this matter for which I wish to express my gratitude in advance.
MICHEL DABA
No. 183 Red Rock Band
Nipigon, April 22, 1938.
Editor’s Note: Inquiry of J. G. Burk, Indian Agent, drew the reply that he and the Department were taking steps to protect the interests of Daba in this matter and of others similarly situated. (1938)

Forestry is


FORESTRY IS…

The Weekly Report , District of Geraldton

Ontario Department of Lands and Forests

October 20th, 1966

Adapted from the Prince George Progress.

Forestry is the raw material of beauty, of tourism, and of industry.  It is a full lunch bucket and coins jingling in pockets.

Forestry is tree growing and tree managing. Forestry in Canada is 5 billion dollars a year. (1966)

Yes, forestry is many things.

It is the whine of a powersaw and the moment of suspense when a faller’s tree hangs between heaven and earth.  It is a “cat” carving a trail to a new stand of timber and a drawing board where a bridge is designed.

  It is  30 tons of logs piled on a growling truck, and dollar-earning newsprint spinning off the rollers at half a mile a minute.

Forestry is the patient probing of the secrets of genetics and a quest for bigger, better, faster growing trees.  It is 60 million seedlings a year in Ontario hand planted on thousands of acres of logged-off land.  It is a ranger patrolling timber from  a river boat and a sweat backed stevedore loading lumber on a foreign ship.

Forestry is still flapjacks and bacon and eggs fried potatoes for breakfast, but it is mechanical harvesters that have made horses almost extinct in the woods.  It is a spreading population of deer and moose and a vast province being gradually opened for the traveller’s delight.  It is tree pruning, and sod-busting and fat cattle grazing within smelling distance of a slash burn.

It is stereoscopics and data-processing machines and a hand-axe and a back-packed water pump trekked over a hill.

Forestry is scarlet flames roaring through a fir stand, and infestation of budworm, but it is wind whispering through a pine grove and s singing trout stream and deer feasting with pleasant malevolence on tender young trees.

In spring it is greenery and growth and awakening;  in autumn it is a surrealistic masterpiece in green and gold and yellow painted by the greatest Master of them all.

 Forestry is the life blood of our economy.

Les Vikings au Canada

Les Vikings au Canada by Yvon H. Couture, 2017
a French language book  "...a demonstration , with a lot of proofs, that the Vikings were present in the Great Lakes Area...Y.H.C."
 
Un premier site viking identifie a l'interieur du continent americain
 
 
 
 
L'ecrivain et chercheur multidisciplinaire Yvon H.Couture a identifie  un  site  viking  pres  du  lac  Stony,  dans  l'Est   de
!'Ontario. C'est un site a gravures rupestres comptant pres d'un
millier  de  glyphes  qui  racontent,  sous  forme  de  runes  et d'ideogrammes, l'histoire de Vikings partis du Groenland autour de 1'An Mille pour venir s'implanter dans Ia region des Grands Lacs. Connaissant deja le langage des runes ainsi que celui des pictogrammes; ce chercheur, qui s'interesse au site depuis 1967;
avait entrepris, en 2007, de reproduire une centaine de ces glyphes a partir de photos pour illustrer un de ses ouvrages. C'est  en realisant ce travail qu'il  a decouvert Ia presence de runes parmi ces gravures; ce qui faisait du site de Stony Lake un site viking et non un site algonquien, comme on le croyait auparavant. C'est  alors  qu'il  a  entrepris  le  decryptage d'une partie des g1yphes afin de savoir de quoi i1 retoumait.
Les  Vikings  au  Canada, qu'il  vient de  pub1ier, est  non
seulement une demonstration magistrale de 1'existence d'etablissements scandinaves dans 1a region dulac Ontario bien avant la decouverte officielle de 1'Amerique par Christophe Colomb, mais aussi un apen;u captivant de 1'histoire du Canada entre 1es annees 1000 a 1500 AD. Ce magnifique ouvrage de
336 pages est subdivise en 55 chapitres, et compte pres d'une centaine d'illustrations.  Pas encore disponib1e en 1ibrairie, on peut se 1e procurer par Ia poste au prix de 1ancement de $25.00 en s'adressant a 1'auteur au 1-861, ge avenue, Senneterre, QC, JOY 2MO (Ajouter $10.00 pour 1es frais d'envoi).

Here…Anglers rendezvous with the Famed Nipigon Trout

Nipigon Lodge – Orient Bay, Ontario

One hundred miles east of Port Arthur (now combined with Fort William as “Thunder Bay”) on the Canadian National Railways ( this portion of line of CNR no longer exists)

NIPIGON LODGE…THE STARTING POINT FOR TRIPS WITH ROD AND PADDLE

 

NIPIGON LODGE , 100 miles East of Port Arthur on the Canadian National Railway, is a commodious log bungalow containing the Main Lodge, which has an attractive stone fireplace , and dining room seating 40 persons.  On either side, facing Orient Bay, are five four-room cabins, comfortably furnished, and equipped with all modern conveniences. Each cabin has a small sitting room where guests may meet to discuss the day’s luck or pass a pleasant hour preparing themselves for the thrills that are be.  There are toilet facilities in each cabin, also running cold water.  Hot water tanks connected to each stove, with which each cabin is equipped, supply heat on chilly nights.

Orient Bay Station,  located at the extreme southern end of a bay of the mighty Lake Nipigon, is reached from the East by the Canadian National Railways, or by automobile to Nipigon Village over 72 miles of partially paved roads with beautiful scenery, and thence by rail 37 miles.  Tourists from the East desiring to break the train journey, have the option of travelling on one of the comfortable boats of the Northern Navigation Division of the Canadian Steamship Line from Sarnia to Port Arthur.

For the trout fisherman the Nipigon District holds a multitude of thrills.  Here is the home of the famous “square-tail”, and the Nipigon River is the locale of more trout-fishing stories than any other stream in the world.  Here it is the anglers battle for the honour of winning the Nipigon Shield, awarded annually to the person who lands the heaviest speckled trout in accordance with the regulations governing this competition.  The main Nipigon River has been fished by anglers from all parts of the world,  and none has left it without enjoying the thrill that comes from landing fish which range anywhere from 4 pounds to the record of 14 and a half pounds.

Small - Mouth Black Bass fishing,  rivalling the splendid speckled trout fishing in the famous Nipigon River,  can be enjoyed in the Black Sturgeon Lake and River section of the Nipigon Forest Reserve.  This is practically virgin territory and offers a wide range of waters with an unlimited supply of bass up to six pounds in weight and which should have a special appeal to fly fishermen interested in this species of game fish.  The Black Sturgeon Lake area is situated immediately south and west of Lake Nipigon and is easily reached by motor launch from Orient Bay Station some 45 miles distant.

For those who are not anglers, or to whom fishing is but an incident of the holiday, there are many attractions.  There are scenic canoe trips in all directions from Nipigon Lodge.  There are numerous motor-boat trips which the visitor can make, so that he may cover a different territory each day during his stay, spending the night , if he so desires, under canvas on the shores of tumbling river or placid lake.  These are days when the ennui of city life is forgotten, when appetites reach enormous proportions and when sleep is welcome and restful.  Indian guides handle canoes and equipment, set up camps, and prepare meals, leaving nothing for the visitor to do but enjoy himself as he desires.

Close to Nipigon Lodge, 100 yards from Orient Bay Station, is located the headquarters of Wm. McKirdy and Sons General Storekeepers and Sportsmen’s Outfitters, where “Jack” McKirdy may be found prepared to supply at reasonable rates complete camping equipment, guides, supplies, licenses and tackle, for trips of either long or short duration.  He will assist in arranging ypur fishing or hunting trips and enable you to obtain the best possible results.
