This virtual exhibition is based on the research conducted by the students of AHL4900 during the Winter of 2019.

The “Algonquin Territory” section rests largely on the following studies:

  • Morrison, James. Algonquin History in the Ottawa River Watershed (research report, 2002).
  • McGregor, Stephen. Since time immemorial : “Our story” The story of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinàbeg. Maniwaki, Quebec: Kitigan Zibi Education Council, 2004.
  • Pilon, Jean-Luc. “On the Nature of Archaeology in the Ottawa Area and Archaeological Mysteries.” Ontario Archaeology 75 (2003): 17-28.
  • Pilon, Jean-Luc, and Randy Boswell. “Below the falls; an ancient cultural landscape in the Centre of (Canada’s National Capital Region) Gatineau.” Canadian Journal of Archaeology 39, 2 (2015): 259-293.
  • Whiteduck, Kirby J. Algonquin Traditional Culture: The Algonquins of the Kitchissippi Valley: Traditional Culture at the Earliest Contact Period.
    Council of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, 2002.

This section also benefited from the research undertaken by students in two other classes, led by Tracy Coates and Émilie Pigeon.

The “Oblate University” section draws from from the following works:

  • Choquette, Robert. The Oblate Assault on Canada’s Northwest (University of Ottawa Press, 1995)
  • Champagne, Claude. “La formation des oblats, missionnaires dans le Nord-Ouest canadien.” Sessions d’étude-Société canadienne d’histoire de l’Église catholique 56 (1989): 21-33.
  • Dictionnaire de Marie Immaculée au Canada (Ottawa: Éditions de l’Université d’Ottawa, 1979)
  • Canada’s Residential Schools: The Final Report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2015).

The “Indigenous Subjects” section draws on material from the University of Ottawa archives, including the university’s yearly academic calendars, the student papers (The Review, The Owl, The Fulcrum, and La Rotonde), as well as various departmental fonds: the History Department Fonds (Fonds 16), the Geography Department Fonds (Fonds 15), and the department of Sociology and Anthropology (Fonds 28).

“Indigenous Students” draws from a variety of sources. The classic work on Indigenous peoples’ access to higher education remains Blair Stonechild’s The New Buffalo: The struggle for Aboriginal post-secondary education in Canada (Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2006).

The biographical sketches of Cunningham and Beaudry are based on the Dictionnaire de Marie Immaculée au Canada (Ottawa: Éditions de l’Université d’Ottawa, 1979) and Anne Anderson’s The First Metis… A New Nation (Edmonton: UVISCO Press, 1985, pp. 189-193), with additional insights from Raymond Huel, Proclaiming the Gospel to the Métis (Edmonton: University of Alberta Press, 1996). The list of students who attended the University of Ottawa between the late 1950s and 1977 was reconstructed from the Indian and Inuit Graduate Register published by the Department of Indian Affairs (1977). A few of these students were the subject of short profiles published in Indian News. At the University of Ottawa Archives, the Students’ Federation papers (Fonds 96) contains a file on the Aboriginal Students’ Association, which included copies of the Aboriginal Sun.

“Into the 21st Century” relies largely on the web-based information of the Institute of Canadian and Indigenous Studies, the Indigenous Resources Centre, and the University of Ottawa itself.
