COMING UP IN
CANADA’S HISTORY
Between two worlds
A year after the Northwest Rebellion,
Indigenous chiefs who had remained
“loyal” to the government were invited
on an all-expenses-paid trip to eastern
Canada. The journey would prove quite
an eye-opener. Plus, nineteenth-century
efforts to beautify Canada’s industrial cities
and the thrilling but dangerous sport of
riding timber slides on the Ottawa River.
