Adding to the Portfolio and the Narrative
In 1768, the Labrador Inuk woman Mikak and her son Tutauk were taken to England by Newfoundland’s Governor Hugh Palliser as official guests of the government in hopes of improving relations, especially trade, with Labrador Inuit. They returned to Labrador in 1769. In 1772, English merchant Captain George Cartwright brought two Labrador Inuit brothers and their families to England: Attuiock, Ickongoque, Ickeuna, Tooklavinia, and Caubvick. The know…
The Spirit of Revolution on a Contested Coast
Determining seasonality of mussel collection from an early historic Inuit site, Labrador, Canada
Across the Straits from Port au Choix
Priscilla Renouf’s more than 30 years of research on the human history of the Port au Choix peninsula was longue durée in execution as well as in perspective and contribution, resulting in notable insights into adaptations at Port au Choix itself and on the island of Newfoundland. This paper finds inspiration in Renouf’s work at the site of Phillip’s Garden (EeBi-1) on the Port au Choix peninsula. It proposes a model of integration and shared soc…
George Cartwright's The Labrador Companion
Faceted Inuit-European contact in southern Labrador
Archaeological evidence from three sites excavated or tested between 2009 and 2013 is shown to be valuable for interpreting the diverse nature of the early Inuit-European contact zone in southern Labrador. Beginning in the late 17th century, French and then English archival records for the region describe relations with Inuit that were motivated by trade but that repeatedly devolved into violence. Indeed, if only the historical records were avail…
Introduction
The origin of William Richardson's 1771 description of a Labrador Inuit snow house
Researchers of Labrador Inuit history have long known of William Richardson's brief account of his 1771 voyage to southern Labrador and his detailed description of a snow house. This research note compares this description to George Cartwright's text on the same subject to show that Richardson's information derives from Cartwright's. Although Richardson correctly describes a snow house, it is nevertheless secondary information. The comparison als…
Our Amazing Visitors”
New material about Inuit who visited England in the 18th century was recently discovered in a British archive. Presented here are three letters written in 1773 by Catherine Cartwright, sister of Captain George Cartwright of Labrador fame. The letters describe and discuss the group of five Inuit who came to England with the latter in the autumn of 1772. All of the Inuit party but one died of smallpox at the outset of their return voyage to Labrado…
Towards an Archaeology of the Nain Region, Labrador, by Bryan C. Hood
Eighteenth Century Labrador Inuit in England
In the late 18th century, a number of Labrador Inuit were at different times taken to England. Their lives, journeys, and likenesses were unusually well documented through writings and portraiture. Presented here are the histories of Mikak and her son Tutauk, brought to England by Francis Lucas in 1767, and of Attuiock, Ickongoque, Ickeuna, Tooklavinia, and Caubvick, who traveled to England in 1772 with Captain George Cartwright. These individual…
The New Labrador Papers of Captain George Cartwright
Captain George Cartwright (1739-1819), an English merchant who spent time in Labrador between 1770 and 1786, is best known for the fascinating account of his experiences provided in his Journal of Transactions and Events during a Residence of nearly Sixteen Years on the Coast of Labrador (1792). In recent years more of his papers have been discovered and stand alongside his journal as important source material for the early colonial period in the…
Reconsidering Inuit presence in southern Labrador
This paper reconsiders the century-old question of Inuit presence south of Hamilton Inlet and the contention that it was a short-term presence for the purpose of trading with Europeans. A summary of archival sources largely unavailable in English in conjunction with known and previously unreported archaeological evidence are the basis for a reexamination of the nature and extent of Inuit presence in the southern region. A discussion of the Inuit …
Ethnohistoric analogues for storage as an adaptive strategy in northeastern subarctic prehistory
Early Human Adaptation in the Northern Hemisphere and the Implications of Taphonomy
Long-term Coastal Occupancy between Cape Charles and Trunmore Bay, Labrador
Ninety-three prehistoric components were discovered during this first comprehensive archaeological survey of the Labrador coastline between Cape Charles and Trunmore Bay. The newly discovered sites show that there was continuous prehistoric occupation from northern Labrador through to the Quebec North Shore and the island of Newfoundland, with radiocarbon dates ranging from 5070±170 to 1050±50 B.P. Dates from Late Palaeoeskimo sites suggest that …
