Qajartalik

Qajartalik (pronounced k-eye-yar-tal-ick, meaning “where there is a kayak” in Inuktitut) is the largest and most well-studied site containing evidence of petroglyphs in the Canadian Arctic. Petroglyphs are a type of rock art made by carving directly into a rock panel. Qajartalik is one of only four known sites in the Canadian Arctic and Greenland with petroglyphs. All these petroglyph sites are located on the northeastern coast of the Ungava Peninsula. Based on the artistic style of the carved images, archaeologists believe the Dorset people, also known as the Tuniit in Inuit oral histories, from the latter third of their cultural period made them. This would mean the petroglyphs are roughly 700 to 1,500 years old. Given the large number of petroglyphs, at least 180, Qajartalik was likely an important site to the Dorset people and is one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Arctic.

Rebellion in Lower Canada (The Patriots' War)

In 1837 and 1838, French Canadian militants in Lower Canada took up arms against the British Crown in a pair of insurrections. The twin rebellions killed more than 300 people. They followed years of tensions between the colony’s anglophone minority and the growing, nationalistic aspirations of its francophone majority. The rebels failed in their campaign against British rule. However, their revolt led to political reform, including the unified Province of Canada and the introduction of responsible government. The rebellion in Lower Canada, which is also known as the Patriots' War (la Guerre des patriotes), also gave French Canadians one of their first nationalist heroes in Louis-Joseph Papineau.

Red River Resistance

The Red River Resistance (also known as the Red River Rebellion) was an uprising in 1869–70 in the Red River Colony. The resistance was sparked by the transfer of the vast territory of Rupert’s Land to the new Dominion of Canada. The colony of farmers and hunters, many of them Métis, occupied a corner of Rupert’s Land and feared for their culture and land rights under Canadian control. The Métis mounted a resistance and declared a provisional government to negotiate terms for entering Confederation. The uprising led to the creation of the province of Manitoba, and the emergence of Métis leader Louis Riel — a hero to his people and many in Quebec, but an outlaw in the eyes of the Canadian government.
