Anishinaabe ministers, chiefs, and elders travelled from bands scattered around the Great Lakes to discuss their prospects for the future. Settler farmers had been encroaching on their lands and despite mounting conflicts the Canadian government proved unwilling or unable to intervene effectively. The gathered leaders had concluded that to assert their rights they would need to unite politically. At the centre of the tent meeting, from an improvised stage, community leaders praised “Jesus Christ, Ke-sha-mon-edoo O-gwe-son, i.e., the Benevolent Spirit’s son” asking him to send aid where the government would not. Notions of Indigenous sovereignty, including the drafting of their own code of laws and plans for consolidating their remaining lands into one super-reserve, dominated the discussion and were summarized by Copway into a five-point plan. The Saugeen tent meeting proved to be a highlight of Copway’s career and he reflected on it glowingly in his autobiography: “Never was I more delighted than with the appearance of this body.

They need to decide what kind of things religions and spiritualities are: can they be neatly defined by a set of characteristics (such as doctrine, ceremonies, institutional affiliations, devotional attitudes, experience of the holy), or are they so diverse and fluid that they break through whatever boundaries we try to draw? Are some religions, or religious elements, truer or worthier or more important than others? Do the terms “Indigenous” and “western,” and similar pairs, denote clearly contrasting social essences, or are they overlapping, imprecise, catch-all categories? Are some cultures more advanced than others? Is colonialism a good thing that benefits the colonized, or a bad thing that oppresses them? Depending on their premises in these matters, most histories of Indigenous and settler religious relations in Canada take one of five historiographical approaches: conventional colonialist, reversalist colonialist, encounter, post-colonial, or decolonizing. I am not claiming any novelty for these categories, but I hope that identifying, illustrating, and comparing them will be helpful for our historiographical interrogation of texts about Indigenous-settler relations, and for orienting our own research. As with all models, these are ideal types; some historical studies present characteristics of more than one model, and some historical studies may not fit any of them. But quite a number of these accounts do fit fairly neatly into one of these categories.","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers. Canadian Historical Association.

And after his studies, Almain became a professor of theology at the university. Despite his short career – he died around the age of thirty-five – Almain produced a series of works including three specifically on ecclesiology. In these writings, he argues in defence of conciliarism. In brief, papalists and conciliarists sparred over who has supreme authority in the Church on Earth, the pope or the ecumenical council representing the Church. The conciliarists favoured the council, which, they argued, could depose and/or excommunicate a pope if necessary for the good of the Church; papal defenders, of course, disagreed. Two works in which Almain advances his conciliarist views are Question in Vespers (hereafter Questio) and his Book on the Authority of the Church or Sacred Council (hereafter Libellus); both were written in 1512. Almain became prominent due to the latter in particular, which he was commissioned to write by the University of Paris; effectively, he was tasked with defending the Council of Pisa and its conciliarism. Pisa had been called by nine cardinals in 1511 in opposition, for political and ecclesiastical reasons, to the reigning pope, Julius II. The pope had tasked the Master of the Dominicans (1508-18), Thomas de Vio, known for his later confrontation with Martin Luther, with critiquing Pisa and its conciliarism. He completed the undertaking with his work, On the Comparison of the Authority of Pope and Council in 1511. Almain’s","PeriodicalId":81435,"journal":{"name":"Historical papers.
