November/December 2017 Arch Notes 22 (6)
Things are winding down – or rather,I am (as President of the OAS). Thesymposium is over. We have up-
dated our Constitution and Statement ofEthical Principles. Our new President is al-most installed, and this column is my finalpresidential message; the one in which I amsupposed to sum up what I have learnedabout the organization over the past twoyears and make some pronouncementsabout the rosy future that lies ahead for us.
I can’t bring myself to do it, though; notbecause I don’t believe it but because I justdon’t like reading (or writing) that sort ofthing. Lately, for reasons that will becomeapparent below, I have been thinking agood deal about why I got into archaeologyand exactly what it is that keeps me there.Upon reflection, I’ve come to realize that,for me, archaeology isn’t so much about thebric-a-brac of the past as it is about the peo-ple I meet while doing it.
Several years ago, I was asked by theMississaugas of the New Credit First Na-tion (MNCFN) to design a course to traincommunity members in the basics of ar-chaeology. Their monitoring program wasin its infancy and Carolyn King, who washelping coordinate it at the time, wantedcommunity monitors to ‘learn the basics’ ofarchaeology so that they’d understand theirstewardship role better in the field. I hadbeen teaching a CRM course at WilfridLaurier University at the time and wasasked if I could design and teach an inten-sive course that could be taught to non-spe-cialists over one to two weeks. I cobbled ittogether, on very little notice, and headedfor New Credit.
The course was offered over three ses-sions, to 60-odd students, under the super-vision of Carolyn King and her friend MaxKing (no relation), a local educator. Maxwas the son of Lloyd S. King, a teacher sorevered in his community that New Credit’selementary school is named after him. Aftergraduating from McMaster University,
Max went into the family business, eventu-ally becoming the second Indigenous per-son to become the principal of an Ontariosecondary school. Later in his career, heserved both as principal at Lloyd S. KingElementary School and as Director of Ed-ucation at New Credit. He was an electedcouncillor for Haldimand County and ac-tive in the Knights of Columbus. In short,he was extraordinary – and comfortablenavigating the worlds of Indigenous peo-ples and Settlers alike.
I took to Max right away. He remindedme a good deal of my maternal grandfather– cheerful and relentlessly kind, steady, anddecent. He had an easy way with conversa-tion and an insatiable curiosity that hadclearly not dimmed with age. He was inter-ested in everything and everyone – and healways made sure that the latter were madeto feel comfortable at all times. It is a skillthat I wish I had. I was always better talking‘at’ people than ‘to’ them but a short con-versation with Max could almost leave aperson feeling interesting. We becamefriends – if friend is an apt term for a rela-tionship in which one party remains in aweof the other.
Max told me that, in the course of his ca-reer as an educator, he became interested inIndigenous ethics and whether there mightbe any commonalities to be found amongthe First Nations. Max was no Pan-Nativistbut he felt that there was a bond (perhapsborne of the Colonial experience) sharedamong all First Nations. After years of re-search and talking to his counterparts else-where, he assembled a list of values that hefelt resonated in almost all Indigenous com-munities. I had the privilege of being pres-ent while he taught young people on thesubject and you could see their eyes shineas he talked. Kierkegaard said that a poetwas a person who hides deep anguish in hisheart, but whose lips are so formed thatwhen the sigh and cry pass through them,it sounds like lovely music. Max was an ed-
ucator who could make a student see them-selves, not as they were, but as they mightbe. It was powerful and I wish I could do itjustice on this page but I can’t. I will repeathis words though, as he spoke them:
The following is a summary of some ofthe important teachings that are universalto all nations. They are centered on the giftsof the four directions and in the teachingsof the elders. This code describes what wis-dom means in the relationships between in-dividuals, in family life, and in the life ofthe community. They represent the pathleading around the medicine wheel.
Principle 1: Each morning and eachevening give thanks for the life within youand for all life, and for the good things theCreator has given you and others, and forthe opportunity to grow a little more eachday. Consider your thoughts of the past dayand seek the courage and strength to be abetter person and seek for the things thatwill benefit everyone.
Principle 2: Showing ‘respect’ is a basiclaw of life. Treat every person with respectat all times with special respect given to theelders, parents, teachers and communityleaders. Avoid hurting others as you wouldavoid a poison, touch nothing that belongsto others (especially sacred objects) withoutpermission. Never intrude on a person’squiet time or personal space, nor walk be-tween, nor interrupt those who are convers-ing with others. Speak in a soft voice,especially to elders, and speak only wheninvited or when expected and listen withcourtesy even if you think that what theyare saying is worthless. Listen with yourheart and never speak of others in a nega-tive way.
Principle 3: Respect the wisdom of thepeople in meetings or in council or in lead-ership. Once you have given an idea it nolonger belongs to you but becomes a partof the whole. The consensus of the groupwill be good and true and when adopted inunity, respect and support the whole.

Principle 4: Be truthful at all times andunder all conditions.
Principle 5: The hurt of one is the hurt ofall, the honour of one is the honour of all.
Principle 6: Always treat your guestswith consideration and give of your bestfood, goods and service.
Principle 7: Receive strangers and out-siders with a loving heart.
Principle 8: As children of the Creator allraces and tribes in the world must be re-spected for they are all beautiful.
Principle 9: Observe moderation and bal-ance in all things.
Principle 10: True happiness comes only
to those who dedicate their lives to the serv-ice of others. Do not fill your life with yourown affairs and forget the main purpose forwhich we were created. To be of use tofamily, community, nation and the world.
Principle 11: Know those things that leadto your well being and those things thatlead to your destruction.
Principle 12: Expect guidance to come inmany forms; in prayer, in dreams, in timesof quiet, in words and deeds of elders,friends and strangers.
My friend Max King passed away onNovember 6, leaving the world a betterplace than he found it, and all his friends
and family better people for having knownhim. In this bleak midwinter, with the widerworld seemingly coming apart around us,it bears remembering that truth and respectare the stars that we must steer by; that loveconquers all, and that a single life, livedwith dignity and compassion, can be a bea-con. We kindle our torches from lights suchas Max, and in doing so we are given newways of seeing. Then we pass the firealong.
Happy holidays, my friends. I am grate-ful for the time we’ve had together.

StrAtegIc PlAnnIng fOr theOntArIO ArchAeOlOgIcAl SOcIety
Every three to five years the OAS has the opportunity to sit down and evaluate how it has been doing andwhere it wants to go in the future. This planning process is something that we need to include in our annualProvincial Heritage Organization application, but it should not be considered simply busy work. Sometimesit may seem like we are spinning our wheels as an organization. The strategic planning process providesus with an opportunity to look at where we want to go in the next five years and to map out a plan to get theOAS there.
We need your help in a few ways! First, we are asking all members to give us feedback on how we aredoing and where you think we should go. At the symposium we asked people to answer the following threequestions:
I am (or would be) a member of the OAS because…
I am proud of the OAS because…
I wish that the OAS would…
In recognition of the fact that not all members of the OAS were able to attend the symposium, and also thatsome people may have lost those little scraps of paper, we are asking people to send answers to thesequestions to [email protected] by Feb. 1, 2018. If you don’t like email, you can send theanswers in to the OAS office by mail.
This type of outreach is something that we will also be conducting at the chapter level to specifically con-sider the supports and directions at a regional level. Furthermore, we will be holding discussions with sisterorganizations, such as the Ontario Historical Society, Indigenous organizations, and staff at the Ministry ofTourism, Culture and Sport.
There are still a couple of spots on our strategic planning committee. If you would like to participate at amore intensive level, please email me at [email protected].

THE OLD COLLECTIONS PROJECT(AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE)
by William Fox
Last month, I received a call from a gentleman “downJordan way” and made arrangements to visit with heand his mother. The reason for the trip was to renew ac-
quaintances with the Troup family collection. The last time Ihad viewed it was exactly 40 years ago, when I was a youngSouthwestern Ontario Regional Archaeologist, working for theMinistry of Culture and Recreation out of London. I had heardabout the collection from Paul Lennox, as a result of his Niag-ara Peninsula survey for McMaster University. In May of1977, we had assigned Gretha Verster to catalogue the collec-tion in their home; however, the project had not been carried tocompletion, as other priorities intervened. We had managed totranscribe a handwritten catalogue contained in a small note-book, but there was much more to this collection of likelyclose to 10,000 pieces, spanning 13,000 years. The cataloguerevealed that Arthur Troup had acquired earlier collectionsfrom the turn of the 20th century (ie. Warren Lee), had ac-cepted donations from many local farms, had involved familymembers such as Grace in collecting, and eventually sold thecollection to his cousin, David Troup.
As the old boxes and tobacco tins were opened, each con-
tained a pleasant surprise; another revelation concerning the In-digenous history of the region – especially, the chocolateboxes… I never knew what I would get! There was a collectionof 40 superbly flaked Meadowood cache blades in one (Figure1), but with no specific provenience. An iron (non-presentation)pipe tomahawk and a ‘Micmac’ style stone pipe probably related

to local War of 1812 events (Figure 2). One match box had“Misener 1934” and another “Misener 1936” marked in pencilon them, containing what an annual surface collection of thatc.1620-1640 Neutral village had produced – ceramic rims, lithictools, European metal scraps. Whoknew that these sites in the Brantfordarea (including Sealey and Purdy) hadbeen collected so diligently for so long(Figure 3)! A careful inventory andanalysis of these little annual collec-tions would go far in providing aclearer characterization of these essen-tially stripped sites which have beencollected and dug over for a centuryand more. There was an important col-lection of late Middle Woodland ce-ramic rims from the vicinity of theYellow Point mound, reported byDavid Boyle in 1902. There were vastquantities of diagnostic lithics, bothflaked chert and ground argillite (ie,bannerstones and gorgets) (Figure 4).
The four hours spent reviewing con-tainer after container of artifacts ontheir dining room table reminded methat it would require months of time tofinish marking and cataloguing thiscollection, let alone describe and ana-lyze the artifacts. Some labels had
been attacked by silverfish, and the cardboard containers werebeginning to deteriorate – imagine the impending massive loss ofpriceless information! Such immediate conservation concerns donot even speak to the ultimate fate of this collection, upon the

eventual passing of his mother; a topic which was delicately dis-cussed during the visit.
Readers may be reminded of the OAS grant application sub-mitted to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport in May of2014 for a ‘Collections Recording Program’. It was based onsuccessful legacy collection cataloguing initiatives by MCR (theMorton collection, which was subsequently donated to theWoodland Cultural Centre museum by Jack’s family) and theROM (the Bill Marshall collection, which now resides in theROM). The former was funded primarily as a summer studentemployment project. Despite the minimal fiscal requirements,this critical program has yet to receive any funding support. Aswe recommended to potential funders in 2014:
“There exist numerous private artifact collections in bothsouthern and northern Ontario, often in the possession of elderlyindividuals who possess unique information concerning theprovenience of the pieces. In heavily collected regions subject todevelopment pressure, these individuals often hold many diag-nostic artifacts from sites being recorded by the CRM industry.In more isolated regions, these collectors have located significantsites which may be threatened with resource extraction (e.g.hydro-electric dam sites in Northern Ontario) or recreational de-velopment (e.g. cottage lots on the Canadian Shield). Most, if not
all, of this critical information has not been recorded and residesonly in the minds and artifact containers (e.g. six quart baskets)of these individuals (Figure 5). Further, with their passing, notonly is this irreplaceable information lost, but descendants orfamily friends often have no knowledge or interest in the her-itage value of their collections, leading to dispersal of the arti-facts and possibly, their sale to collectors (sometimes on eBay).”
The point of this brief note is simply to reiterate that we are onthe verge of losing vast amounts of information concerning theIndigenous heritage of Ontario. Much has already been lost, andsoon these unique resources will be gone forever. Recent discus-sions with our President Elect, Alicia Hawkins, have indicatedthat she is prepared to revisit this issue and strike an advisorycommittee in the near future. At the very least, this collection andothers like it need to be marked and catalogued so that, even iflost to the people of Ontario and Indigenous descendant commu-nities in the short term, the origin of the artifacts will be docu-mented for future reference with registered site Borden numbers.Obviously, a more positive scenario would involve detailed doc-umentation and analysis of the collection, including the registra-tion of ‘new’ sites, and conservation of the collection artifacts forfuture generations in a state of the art curatorial facility.

THE 2017 OAS SYMPOSIUMIN BRANTFORD
By Matt Beaudoin
This year’s symposium saw over 300registrants/participants, at least 40 ofwhom were from First Nations com-
munities from across the province. The at-tendance and participation was wonderfuland significantly more than we originallyanticipated – especially for ‘at the door’registration. We are still sorting out the finalnumbers and details, but I believe that thiswas a great success.
This year’s theme – ‘From Truth to Rec-onciliation’ – was prevalent throughout thepapers, sessions, and in the Nations Unitedpanel on Friday. We were privileged to wel-come Her Excellency, the Honourable Eliz-abeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor ofOntario, to make opening remarks for thepanel discussion. Her remarks were vision-
ary, and I truly believe we are in the midstof discussions that will set the stage for thenext major shift in how archaeology in On-tario is practiced. There were several com-mon themes throughout the session:strengthening of government require-ments/regulation, a greater consideration ofFirst Peoples’ histories and perspectives,and an archaeology in service of First Peo-ples’ perspectives instead of purely archae-ological logics. These are not the onlythemes emergent from these discussions,but are the ones that I heard repeated andthat resonated with me afterwards. In dis-cussions with many of the First Nations’participants, they generally felt positiveabout the symposium and often said thatthey felt heard; several people mentionedto me that this was their first OAS sympo-sium and that they hope to attend future
ones. I think this symposium was a valuablecontinuation and movement forward inthese conversations, and I hope we manageto keep the conversations going into the fu-ture.
We also had several new initiatives at thisyear’s symposium: workshops, round-ta-bles, and green initiatives. Based on thefeedback I have received so far, the work-shops and round-tables were generally wellreceived and gave people an opportunity toparticipate in the discussions instead of justlistening to presentations. Such sessionsalso can help form the basis for further de-velopment of archaeological and OASchanges in practices. The green initiativeswere generally well received, but therewere several difficulties in their role out andimplementation. I think these are a greatway to reduce both costs and the environ-mental impact of these kinds of events, anda shift to more digital content is the generaltrend in this technological age. I think weneed to continue to push these initiatives,but as with any new practice there are unan-ticipated difficulties that need to be ironedout. I will be having conversations with theorganizing committee for the next sympo-sium about what worked, what didn’t, andwhat needs changing to we can keep push-ing the green initiatives to create a structurethat can work for the OAS.
Overall, this symposium worked verywell (not without some hiccups andheadaches). I wanted to personally thankthe organizing committee and all the vol-unteers who put in time and effort to makethis happen. I would also like to thank allof the sponsors and donors whose contribu-
Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Honourable ElizabethDowdeswell, chats with President Paul Racher before deliver-ing the keynote address at the session titled ‘Nations United’.

tions are vital to the success of thesymposium and the continuedfunction of the OAS. TheMTCS’s contributions should behighlighted, since their fundingallowed us to assist in the partici-pation of First Nations membersfrom across the province. I wouldalso like to thank everyone whoattended the symposium – it wasgreat to put faces-to-names andthe number of attendees makesthe hard work that everyone put into this event worthwhile.Jordan Jamieson (cen-tre) and the drum groupLittlefeather performedafter the banquet.

50 Year Members William A. FoxJames Hunter
Award for Excellence in Pub-lishing
This award is offered to an individual,group or firm in order to recognize contri-butions and accomplishments in publish-ing works dealing with the field of North
Eastern Archaeology. Published worksshould be considered a substantial contri-bution to archaeology and can includepeer reviewed articles or books. Subjectmatter may concern theory, methodology,history or specific sites and may be re-viewed as a cumulative body of work byone author or a single exemplary publica-tion.
The winner was a multi-author publica-tion, A Block in Time, co-published by thePeterborough Chapter of the OAS, TrentUniversity Archaeological Research Cen-
tre, and the PeterboroughMuseum and Archives. Itbrought together, in a sin-gle volume, a never-be-fore published originalmanuscript by Gordon C.Dibb on archaeology pre-ceding the construction ofthe iconic MNR/Govern-ment of Ontario buildingin downtown Peterbor-ough, and also a fuller ex-amination of the greattime depth, lifeways andhabits of the people whomade their homes and

places of business along this waterfrontblock.
The volume was edited by Dirk Verhulstand Rita Granda. Layout and design wascarried out by a team composed of KimReid, Kerrilyn Sheward and Dirk Verhulst.The result is ten articles covering the ac-tual Stage 1 and 2 excavations of the sitearea (60 pages) and contextual reports onhistorical archaeology, the collection, In-digenous occupation, early settlement, theChinese presence, the impact of 19th cen-tury canoe manufacturing on Peterbor-ough, and finally industrialization andmodern commerce. The artifact cataloguecompletes the text as an Appendix. TheChapter is to be congratulated for its on-going publications programme and itscommitment to bringing so-called grey lit-erature to a wider audience.
The J.V. Wright Award – Dr.Mima Kapches
This award is granted by the Ontario Ar-chaeological Society to a professional ar-chaeologist whose life’s work has beenconsistently of the highest standard, andwho has made an exceptional contribution
to the development of archaeology in thisregion.
Dr. Kapches has a long history of high-quality and inspirational publications ofhigh scholarly repute, direct involvementon various executive boards of multipleinternational organizations and public out-reach to many people requesting informa-tion on the archaeological heritage ofOntario and beyond.
In her capacity as Curator of OntarioArchaeology at the Royal Ontario Mu-seum, Dr. Kapches made herself availableto students, the public and other profes-sionals, guiding them through the collec-tions and answering questions. Judgingfrom the numerous acknowledgements innovels, popular and scholarly books andjournal articles dealing with the archaeol-ogy of Ontario to North America, it isclear she has been of assistance to thosefar and wide wishing to learn more aboutarchaeology on many topics.
Her publication on the pottery from theHill Site stands as one of the few to ad-dress the technology of pottery manufac-ture in the lower Great Lakes region. Herwork on the history of Ontario archaeol-
ogy, her work on repatriation issues, herwork on the archaeology of Toronto or herall-too-often unheralded work as an editoror as an executive member of the manyprofessional and scholarly archaeologicalsocieties and organizations should begiven emphasis.
In summary, Dr. Kapches has an excep-tional history of scholarly research andpublication, has contributed to executiveboards of numerous scholarly journals andsocieties, and has assisted in myriad wayswith the promotion of the archaeologicalheritage of this province. (Photo on Page1.)
The J. Norman Emerson Sil-ver Medal – Sheryl Smith
The Emerson Silver Medal is given toan outstanding Ontario non-professionalarchaeologist whose life’s work has beenconsistently of the highest standard, whohas made an exceptional contribution tothe development of Ontario archaeologyand who has earned acclaim for excellenceand achievement. It is the highest honourthe Society can bestow.
Although originally trained as an ar-chaeologist, Sheryl’s 30 + year career withParks Canada was mainly in managementand for more than half of it, in liaison withIndigenous communities throughout On-tario and across Canada. Working on com-memorating Indigenous places, events andindividuals of national significancebrought her into contact with many FirstNations; being able to relate the practiceof archaeology and the knowledge gainedby it, to the broader history and traditionsof communities, was of great benefit to theSociety and to other organizations.
For many years Sheryl has been a men-tor, a source of contact, and a networkeramong organizations, helping membersand the OAS itself to connect with otherlike groups. She has been the co-editor ofthe newsletter Arch Notes since 2012 andserved five years on the Board of Direc-tors as Vice-President. In that time shealso chaired or co-chaired two OAS Sym-posium organizing committees (2013 and2014). (Photo on Page 1.)
The Peterborough OAS Chapter, Trent University Archaeologi-cal Research Centre and the Peterborough Museum andArchives were awarded the OAS Excellence in Publishing for ABlock in Time. Patricia and Gordon Dibb were part of the teamthat were responsible for the book.

Award for Excellence in Cul-tural Resource Management –City of Hamilton
The CRM award is offered to either anindividual or a group in order to recognizecontributions and accomplishments in thefield of cultural resource management.Achievements may include the manage-ment and preservation of sites, sustainedresearch and frequent publishing or advo-cacy efforts. Candidates may include pri-vate firms or national, provincial ormunicipal agencies. A number of planningand conservation initiatives were cited inthe nomination, including the protectionof significant portions of the OlmsteadSite and other sites, the development ofthe city’s archaeological management planin 2016, its work with the Six Nations staffand councilors and members of the Hau-denosaunee Confederacy. Hamilton alsoconducts public archaeology and interpre-tation programmes on a yearly basis andstewards several national historic siteswithin its jurisdiction. The award was ac-cepted by Cynthia Graham.
The Charles and Ella GarradAward for Outstanding Serv-ice – Margaret Ann Fecteau
This award is given in recognition of thecontinuing long-term support and activeparticipation of OAS members. Quite
often volunteers are the public face of theOAS, doing yeoman’s service in supportof our commonly held goals and princi-ples. The contributions of these membersare seen especially in the regular chaptermeetings, events and activities, the publi-cation of the society’s newsletter and jour-
nal, and organization of the annual sym-posium. These individuals bring a widerange of skills and interests to the organi-zation, and it is because of them that wecontinue to have a strong and vibrant so-ciety. As part of the Society’s 60th An-niversary celebrations in 2010, the OASlaunched the Killarney Award for out-standing service. In 2017, the name of theaward was changed by the Board of Direc-tors to honour the many lifetime contribu-tions to the Society by Mr. and Mrs.Garrad.
The 2017 winner is Margaret AnnFecteau. Margaret Ann Fecteau has volun-teered for the OAS for over three decades.Whenever a book table or desk neededtending, Margaret Ann was there. She hashelped in the OAS office and at public ar-chaeology events numerous times andnever hesitates to pitch in. Her many yearsof teaching experience are a boon to theOAS, because she is able to interpret ar-chaeological information to many differ-ent audiences. This year, Margaret Anntook on the organization of the Silent Auc-tion for the symposium and acquitted her-self admirably. Her enthusiasm and energyinspire us all.
Margaret Ann Fecteau is the first recipient of the newly re-named Charles and Ella Garrad Award for Outstanding Servicefor her many contributions to the OAS over the years.
The Award for Excellence in Cultural Resource Managementwas given to the City of Hamilton. OAS Executive DirectorLorie Harris present the award to Cynthia Graham.
