Hudson Bay

because 110 kilometers south of the Ottawa, the Laurentians crest, and water stops flowing to the Ottawa and starts flowing to the St. Lawrence.

The drainage north of the river can go as far as 500 kilometers upland, before they crest to Hudson Bay or Labrador.

The Ottawa River Basin is just much larger on that side, though there are political reasons as well, particularly after our time period today.

One of the major political reasons for this was that Indigenous mission villages in what's now Quebec were a part of the seigneurial system of land tenure.

The next year's act of union did little for the Algonquin on either side of the river, despite being joined into a single province, as far as the British were concerned.

The Algonquin and Nipissing didn't stop visiting Lake of Two Mountains, but the visits became less frequent and the trade became less lucrative, and the fruitfulness of negotiations with the Indian Department were also fairly barren.

One large Algonquin settlement at Manawage up the Tegatino-Zibi, or Gatineau River, had forced separation between the Hudson Bay Company township demarcation and the Algonquin, with the missionary oblates of Mary Immaculate creating the largest and oldest of the Algonquin reserves in the 1840s, formerly called Maniwaki, now called Kitiganzebe, or Garden River.

In 1844, Governor-General Charles Baggett commissioned a report to look at the situation faced by Indigenous nations in the province of Canada.

It's a long name, but, um, so here in Edmonton, we'll give you a bit of a story.

Um, we have the north saskatchewan river that runs through it starts it starts in just in the rockies uh out of a glacier just on the bc side of the uh the vamp jasper icefield highway and it flows past highway 11 to the abraham lake and then from there from that reservoir the big one down goes all the way down you know through the foothills like rocky mountain house straight and valley through Edmonton, and then it makes its way east through Saskatchewan, Manitoba, up to the Hudson Bay.

And it is a cool fishery because it starts off as a cold water trout fishery.

Especially if you go high enough, there's bulls and whitefish, rockmouth whitefish.

Did not know that.

Flowing north to Hudson Bay, I believe, or something like

that.

Threw me off.

That was the Fox.

Luke Fox was the first European to circumnavigate Hudson Bay.

Oh, that's why it sounds familiar.

And the main map in Northwest Fox is called Part of America, Part of China.

You can go both sides.

So you can go up to James Bay, which is on Hudson Bay, which is not just south of the Arctic Circle.

You can go to Tuktuk, which is likely where he went.

That's sort of the famous route up to the Arctic Circle.
