Abstract

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 reveals a consistent claim to islands and other key shoreline spaces. These spaces had, and have, many dimensions of value, and Michi Saagiig claim to them demonstrates and enables the ongoing resilience of Michi Saagiig memory practices, political structures, and ecological relationships.

“我们是签订条约的人”:安大略省东南部的土地和岛屿
1783年“克劳福德购买”安大略湖东北端的Michi Saagiig(密西索加)Anishinaabe土地被普遍认为是上加拿大第一个以定居为目的的条约。由于缺乏契约、地图或签署的条约,它无法满足王室自身的有效性要求。更重要的是,核心要素与米奇·萨吉格的兴趣或理解不匹配。19世纪Michi Saagiig领导人的证词揭示了对岛屿和其他关键海岸线空间的一贯主张。这些空间过去和现在都有许多价值维度,米奇·萨吉格声称这些空间展示并实现了米奇·萨吉格记忆实践、政治结构和生态关系的持续弹性。

期刊介绍: Ethnohistory reflects the wide range of current scholarship inspired by anthropological and historical approaches to the human condition. Of particular interest are those analyses and interpretations that seek to make evident the experience, organization, and identities of indigenous, diasporic, and minority peoples that otherwise elude the histories and anthropologies of nations, states, and colonial empires. The journal publishes work from the disciplines of geography, literature, sociology, and archaeology, as well as anthropology and history. It welcomes theoretical and cross-cultural discussion of ethnohistorical materials and recognizes the wide range of academic disciplines.
