- Scope & content
- This file contains a report produced by Canon Alfred J. Cale on his winter trip form Hay River to Fort Resolution in 1919 as well as a manuscript authored by Archdeacon C.H. Whittaker entitled "Memoranda of the Mission to the Mackenzie River Eskimo, 1895-1929." The manuscript documents the "origin, progress and result" of the Anglican Mission in the Mackenzie Delta region and the extent of the boundaries of the Dioceses during that time. Archdeacon Whittaker served the Anglican church in Fort McPherson and Herschel Island for twenty two years. The manuscript details the establishment of Anglican missions in the north and the activities of the community, the arrival and departure of various missionaries, and northern life included a whale hunt at Kittigazuit and the tragedy of the Dawson (Lost) Patrol. Please note that the PDF contains outdated terminology referring to Indigenous peoples.
