We Are the Ones That Make the Treaty
The 1783 "Crawford Purchase" of Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) Anishinaabe lands at the northeast end of Lake Ontario is generally recognized as the first treaty in Upper Canada for purposes of settlement. Lacking deed, map, or signed treaty, it fails to meet the Crown's own requirements for validity. More importantly, central elements do not match Michi Saagiig interests or understandings. Nineteenth-century testimony by Michi Saagiig leaders revea…

Bill C-60 and Copyright in Canada
In spring 2005, after four years of consultation, Canada's Liberal government tabled Bill C-60, a bill to amend the Copyright Act. At the time of writing (October 2005), it is unclear whether this bill will proceed to second reading before an election call. The bill is under attack for a variety of reasons from broadcasters, copyright collectives, consumers, educators, and American lobbyists; the consensus between the two parents of copyright pol…
Protecting ourselves to death
Canada is at a critical stage in the development of its copyright law: it has not yet ratified the 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization "Internet Treaties," but it is poised to do so. This article analyses the rhetoric of "protection" ubiquitous in Canadian discussions of copyright policy, and identifies among the various uses of the term both a problematic assumption that protection is or should be the primary function of copyright, and…

Fur Traders in Conversation
Firsthand accounts of fur trade life often express frustration at the lack of conversation in fur trade country. By conversation, partners, clerks, and bourgeois had in mind a particular mode of talk associated with a particular cultural world; they often did not acknowledge the presence of other modes of talk around them. This article pursues the example of Daniel Harmon, a Vermonter who served with the North West Company (nwc) from 1800 to 1819…
The Language Encounter in the Americas, 1492-1800
When Columbus arrived in the Americas there were, it is believed, as many as 2,000 distinct, mutually unintelligible tongues spoken in the western hemisphere, encompassing the entire area from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego. This astonishing fact has generally escaped the attention of historians, in part because many of these indigenous languages have since become extinct. And yet the burden of overcoming America's language barriers was pe…
Joining Signs with Words
N his ecclesiastical history of New England, Magnalia Christi Americana (1702), Cotton Mather reported a striking incident between the missionary John Eliot and the Wampanoag sachem known to the English as King Philip. Our Eliot, Mather wrote, looking back some thirty years to a time before Philip led a devastating war against the New England settlements, made a tender of the everlasting salvation to [King Philip]; but the monster entertained it …

Translation and Transaction in American Immigrant Phrasebooks
Think about the phrasebook—perhaps one of those infuriating and handy guides you've taken along on a holiday. A phrasebook stages an encounter between two people speaking different languages. It is a script, an ideal scenario, for courteous and intelligible cross-cultural dialogue. The script of the phrasebook may be a product of the cultural and linguistic patterns of either of the languages it includes, or it may represent an attempt by an auth…
