  • Bannock Diplomacy

    Émilie Pigeon, Carolyn PodruchnyARTICLEEthnohistory2022References: 14

    Métis women have been neglected in scholarship because they are hard to find in historical records. Seeking out little-used sources and amplifying their voices in them demonstrate that they were significant figures in maintaining peace within their communities on the northern Great Plains in the mid- to late nineteenth century. Through their actions in battles and diplomatic negotiations, they showed themselves to be particularly skilled in confl…

  • Trickster Lessons in Early Canadian Indigenous Communities

    Open AccessCarolyn PodruchnyARTICLESibirica2016Cited by: 1References: 5

    This article compares the trickster stories of Anishinaabeg (Ojibwes) and Ininiw (Cree) people, specifically the Swampy Cree or Omushkegowak, in northern Canada. Focusing on one storyteller from each culture—Omushkego Louis Bird from the west coast of James Bay and Anishinaabe William Berens from the east coast of Lake Winnipeg—the article demonstrates that the long-term practice of telling sacred stories taught Indigenous peoples how to survive …

  • Jean de Brébeuf and the Wendat Voices of Seventeenth-Century New France

    Carolyn Podruchny, Kathryn Magee LabelleARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2012

    Les relations des Jésuites, datant du XVIIe siècle, sont habitées par les voix des autochtones que les Jésuites ont tenté de convertir au catholicisme. Ces voix peuvent révéler beaucoup de l’histoire des autochtones et de leur rencontre avec les européens, une fois que l’on saisit la nature du point de vue jésuite. Cet article explore la dualité de la vision du jésuite Jean de Brébeuf dans ses relations de 1635 et 1636, au sujet des hurons Wendat…

  • Baptizing Novices

    Open AccessCarolyn PodruchnyARTICLECanadian Historical Review2002

    A series of geographical passages on fur trade routes in northwestern North America marked important cultural boundaries for French Canadian voyageurs. Mock baptism ceremonies were performed at ‘points of baptism’ at the edge of regions defined by physical and cultural characteristics. The mock baptisms marked passage not only into new physical and cultural spaces but also into new states of occupation and manhood. Those who worked in the farthes…

    Carolyn Podruchny, Germaine WarkentinEDITORBOOKDecentring the Renaissance2001

    In 1497, explorers from the confident world of Renaissance Europe sailed, under Captain Giovanni Caboto, into what are now Canadian waters. This significant encounter brought into contact two worlds equally ignorant of each other and set in motion a number of events that culminated in the birth of a new nation. The Renaissance, ordinarily thought of as an entirely European-centred phenomenon is 'de-centred' in these eighteen innovative essays. Th…

  • Unfair Masters and Rascally Servants? Labour Relations among Bourgeois, Clerks and Voyageurs in the Montréal Fur Trade, 1780-1821

    Carolyn PodruchnyARTICLELabour / Le Travail1999Cited by: 1

    The Montreal fur trade labour system was organized around indentured servitude, paternalism, and cultural hegemony. French Canadian labourers signed legal promising to obey their master in exchange for board and wages. These legal were overshadowed by social contracts which signified continual negotiating for fair working conditions. Although voyageurs did not challenge the structure of the master and servant relationship, they continually pushed…
