Excerpt from Second Edition of a Report on the Geology and Natural Resources of the Area Included by the Nipissing and Timiskaming Map-Sheets: Comprising Positions of the District of Nipissing, Ontario and of the County of Pontiac, Quebec Early in 1615. However. Champlain returned to Canada. Bringing with him four Recollets. One of whom. Father Joseph Le Caron, was destined for missionary work among the Huron Indians. Arriving at Montreal he found a large concourse of Indians already assem bled, who had come hither from their homes in the vicinity of Lake Simcoe. These savages, always more eager for temporal than spiri tual help, again pressed Champlain to aid them against their heredi tary foe, the formidable Iroquois. Deeming it expedient at the time to comply with this oft-repeated request, Champlain hurriedly descended to Quebec to make the necessary preparations, leaving Le Caron and some of his compatriots with the assembled Indians to await his return. During Champlain's absence. However, the Indians decided to go back forthwith to their own home without him, and accompanied by Le Caron and his associates commenced the ascent of the Ottawa river. When Champlain returned to Montreal and found the place deserted he immediately hurried after them, pursu ing the usual course up the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers, over the height-of-laud to Lake Nipissing and thence down the French river to Lake Huron. Champlain was thus the first European, with the exception of the humble friar who had only just preceded him by a few days, to gaze on the waters of Lake Huron. Which he christened Mer Douce.'

As European colonies in Asia and Africa became independent nations, as the United States engaged in war in Southeast Asia and in covert operations in South America, anthropologists questioned their interactions with their subjects and worried about the political consequences of government-supported research. By 1970, some spoke of anthropology as “the child of Western imperialism” and as “scientific colonialism.” Ironically, as the link between anthropology and colonialism became more widely accepted within the discipline, serious interest in examining the history of anthropology in colonial contexts diminished. This volume is an effort to initiate a critical historical consideration of the varying “colonial situations” in which (and out of which) ethnographic knowledge essential to anthropology has been produced. The essays comment on ethnographic work from the middle of the nineteenth century to nearly the end of the twentieth, in regions from Oceania through southeast Asia, the Andaman Islands, and southern Africa to North and South America. The “colonial situations” also cover a broad range, from first contact through the establishment of colonial power, from District Officer administrations through white settler regimes, from internal colonialism to international mandates, from early “pacification” to wars of colonial liberation, from the expropriation of land to the defense of ecology. The motivations and responses of the anthropologists discussed are equally varied: the romantic resistance of Maclay and the complicity of Kubary in early colonialism; Malinowski’s salesmanship of academic anthropology; Speck’s advocacy of Indian land rights; Schneider’s grappling with the ambiguities of rapport; and Turner’s facilitation of Kaiapo cinematic activism. “Provides fresh insights for those who care about the history of science in general and that of anthropology in particular, and a valuable reference for professionals and graduate students.”—Choice “Among the most distinguished publications in anthropology, as well as in the history of social sciences.”—George Marcus, Anthropologica
First published in 2001, Barren Lands is the classic true story of the men who sought—and found—a great diamond mine on the last frontier of the far north. From a bloody 18th-century trek across the Canadian tundra to the daunting natural forces facing protagonists Chuck Fipke and Stewart Blusson as they struggle against the mighty DeBeers cartel, this is the definitive account of one of the world’s great mineral discoveries. Combining geology, science history, raw nature, and high intrigue, it is also a tale of supreme adventure, taking the reader into a magical—and now fast-vanishing—wild landscape. Now in a newly revised and updated edition.
