Witness to Yesterday (The Champlain Society Podcast on Canadian History) episodes

September 14, 2020 The Tragedy of Almighty Voice
Patrice Dutil discusses the short life of Kitchimanitowaya, or Almighty Voice (1875-1897), with Bill Waiser the author of In Search of Almighty Voice: Resistance and Reconciliation (Fifth House Press). Almighty Voice was accused of poaching a settler’s cow and became the object of an RCMP manhunt in the mid-1890s. His story, however, was distorted all through the 20th century in books, magazines, and film. Bill Waiser discusses how history can help reconciliation between indigenous peoples and Canadians and what distinguishes “popular history” from scholarly work. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.

Patrice Dutil discusses the work of Canadian historian Harold Innis with William Buxton of Concordia University, the author of Harold Innis on Peter Pond: Biography, Cultural Memory and the Continental Fur Trade (McGill-Queen’s University Press). Peter Pond was an important explorer and developer of the fur trade, but in the hands of Harold Innis, his story reveals the tensions in that developing sector of Canadian business. Buxton sees Harold Innis playing a dual role: both as a chronicler of Canadian business history and as a promoter of cultural memory. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.
