    Tupiq

    Historically, Inuit used a simple tent, known as a tupiq (the plural form is tupiit), while travelling or hunting during the summer months. Today, the traditional tupiq is rarely used (because modern variations have largely replaced it), but some Inuit elders and communities are working to keep the tupiq, and other Inuit traditions, alive. (See also  Architectural History of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.)

    Twenty Pioneering Newspaperwomen in Canada

    Did you know that Canadian women, like writer and suffragist Emily Murphy, have been writing and working for newspapers since the 19th century? The following 20 Canadian newspaperwomen include the first Black woman in North America to publish and edit a newspaper, the first female war correspondent in North America and the first female French-Canadian journalist. Others were literary and drama critics, sports journalists, agricultural writers and editors. Many wrote or edited “women’s pages,” which covered not only recipes, fashion and homemaking tips but also the women’s movement, among other issues. Several were founding members of the Canadian Women’s Press Club (1904).

    Two-Spirit

    Two-Spirit, a translation of the Anishinaabemowin term niizh manidoowag, refers to a person who embodies both a masculine and feminine spirit. The concept of two-spirit was first introduced by Elder Myra Laramee. Activist Albert McLeod helped develop the term in 1990 to broadly reference Indigenous peoples in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community. Two-spirit is used by some Indigenous peoples to describe their gender, sexual and spiritual identity. (See also 2SLGBTQ+ Rights in Canada.)

    Ukrainian Internment in Canada

    Canada’s first national internment operations took place during the First World War, between 1914 and 1920. More than 8,500 men, along with some women and children, were interned by the Canadian government, which acted under the authority of the War Measures Act. Most internees were recent immigrants from the Austro-Hungarian, German and Ottoman empires, and mainly from the western Ukrainian regions of Galicia and Bukovyna. Some were Canadian-born or naturalized British subjects. They were held in 24 receiving stations and internment camps across the country — from Nanaimo, BC, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Many were used as labour in the country’s frontier wilderness. Personal wealth and property were confiscated and much of it was never returned.
