Determined to be Homesteaders: A Descriptive Analysis of the Homestead Records of Single Women Who Purchased Volunteer Bounty Land in Saskatchewan
No full textUnder the land regulations set out by the Canadian government in 1871, single women were not eligible to obtain a free homestead of 160 acres in the western Canadian prairie region. Rather, their male counterparts, those who were eighteen years of age and older, were deemed to be acceptable candidates and entitled to qualify for the quarter-sections. However, by 1908, single women finally obtained an opportunity to register for homestead land, follow the homestead regulations, and gain title to property. This was done through The Volunteer Bounty Act of 1908. While the primary purpose of this Act was to benefit Canadian soldiers who had volunteered and fought in South Africa in the Boer War (1899-1902) by granting them 320 acres of free homestead land in the western prairie region, the Act allowed soldiers to name a substitute; that is, any adult individual who would assume full responsibility for the property and follow homestead regulations. In many cases, the purchasers of these lands were women. Given this unique and innovative way for women to obtain homestead land, this paper will provide a descriptive analysis of the efforts made by single Saskatchewan women in their pursuit of gaining title to their own land.
Lighting Diyas: Paving Paths for the Tigress Within
No full textThis paper explores the author’s contention that South Asian females are raised within a familial culture which may serve to devalue them and in addition, can potentially bring them into conflict with dominant school narratives. As such, South Asian female students learning in Canada require alternative stories, “counterstories,” (Lindemann Nelson, 1995) and/or counter-narratives on which to construct their identities. In attempting to respond to the question as to how IndoCanadian female students can negotiate their “stories to live by,” (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000) those complex narratives dealing with ethnicity, culture, family, school, and identity, the author puts forward the premise that children’s literature can lead to a positive response. Selected children’s literature are surveyed as a possible means of cultivating strong cross-cultural connections amongst students, parents, and teachers, and assisting Indo-Canadian girls in primary and secondary grades to succeed as healthy individuals. Woven throughout the paper are brief fragments of a story which the author wrote and chose to include as a way of employing a metaphorical device
