Since Time Immemorial: Our Story The Story of Kitigan Zibi Anishinàbeg Between 1616 and 1623, six more Récollets arrived at Quebec to assist their comrades, but this had little effect on the Algonquin, Innu and Wendat. It is likely that the First Nations women were the ones most resistant to Christianity, by the fact that Christian marriages required women to be obedient and subservient to their master husbands and that woman s sexuality was to be restrained and, when necessary, supressed. This went against the freedom and influence that First Nations women enjoyed within their societies. By 1624 the Récollets were discouraged, having been rejected outright by the Algonquin, Innu and Wendat collectively. With Champlain s assistance, they drafted letter so appeal to the powerful and wealthy Society of Jesus in France. McGregor, Stephen. Since Time Immemorial: Our Story. Maniwaki.

Connecting With the Past His birth name was Simon Kaponicin, an Algonquin from River Desert Reserve No. 18 at Maniwaki, Quebec, born 1888. He enlisted in November 1915 under the name Samuel Cecil Gagnon. Sam was wounded twice in the trenches. He lost an eye to a shell burst at the Somme in 1916, returned to his unit, and his war ended at Passchendaele in 1917, blown up into the air by another German shell that landed in the mud at his feet. I first learned of Sam from a feature story A Lost Great War Relative. that appeared in the Ottawa Citizen in November 1977. I asked my dad about Sam then. Dad said that Sam left for Alberta after the war and was never heard from again. Like so many Great War soldiers who returned to find their jobs filled in absentia, Sam was one of those thousands of unemployed ex-servicemen who jumped the trains and rode across Canada and the U.S. looking for work. In 2003 I began the active search to locate him. It took twelve years before I finally got an Internet hit. Sam had adopted Barrhead, Alberta as his home, where he was remembered with fondness in a book of memories published by the Alberta Genealogical Society. Sam had no family in Barrhead to pay for cemetery upkeep, and his simple marker had deteriorated over time until it was eventually removed. I contacted the Last Post Fund in December 2015, and Sam received his well-deserved Veteran s headstone in September 2016. My cousin Janet Kaponicin and I drove 1400 kilometres from Vancouver to Barrhead to visit Sam s new headstone. We brought with us an Anishinabe Elder named Dennis Easter to conduct a pipe ceremony for Sam. At the gravesite, Dennis connected with Sam s spirit. Tears suddenly spilled from Dennis eyes, but he never uttered a sob or made a sound. It wasn t Dennis crying, you see It was Sam, and these were tears of joy because family had finally come to bring him closure.
