Joseph Elzéar Bernier (1852-1934)
Joseph Elzéar Bernier belonged to the fading era of wooden ships and iron men. His father and grandfather were sea captains and shipbuilders. He attended school in L'Islet until he was 14 and then went to sea. Three years later he became master of his vessel. After a hundred voyages to many ports he came ashore to accept the unlikely position of governor of the Quebec jail. This fitted into Bernier's scheme, for it gave him time to read and to st…

He is best known for his field work in anthropology and for his outspoken defence of the North as a rich and habitable land. ... He ... spent eighteen months with the Eskimos of the Mackenzie River delta, learning their language and folkways. From 1908 to 1912, under the auspices…
