By Sophie Jefferson
The fifth meeting of Wawanosh 4-
Hs Diverse Dolls was held in the
home of Mary Ellen Foran on March
24.
The club started a new section in
the manual, all about French
Canada, which is more than just
Quebec. In fact, there are three
different kinds of French Canadians:
Acadians, who reside mainly in New
Brunswick, Franco-Ontarians, from
the Ottawa Valley, Northern Ontario,
Midland, Welland and Belle River,
and the Quebecois, who are
descended from the French
Habitants.
For roll call, the members spoke to
each other in French. They then
discussed whether or not they
thought it was important for
Canadians to be able to speak both
official languages. They found it
unfair that one third of French
Canadians speak English, while only
nine per cent of English Canadians
speak French.
The Diverse Dolls also learned
about the life of the Habitants.
Because their lives were full of hard
work, they had many celebrations to
make their lives more joyful. One of
these festivals was the La Sainte-
Catherine which was started when
Marguerite Bourgeoys, a sister of
Notre Dame, gave her students a
special treat of taffy on the feast day.
She also allowed them to eat candy
and fruit all day in class.
The members got a taste of the
taffy pull that the students would
have had by making it from the
recipe in the book. They thought it
was delicious.
Mary Ellen spoke about the
Seigneural System in New France.
The land was supervised by the
intendant, who gave large parcels to
seigneuries. The Habitants were
each given a very small, narrow
section of this land in exchange for
goods, money and labour that they
paid their seigneur.
Marita Oudshoorn showed the
members some pictures of what the
Habitant’s farms looked like, as well
as a typical seigneural fort.
Lorraine McIlhargey then told the
members about Madeleine de
Vercheres, the 14-year-old daughter
of a seigneur. While her parents were
away, the seigneury was attacked by
the Iroquois. With her two younger
brothers, an old man and a
neighbour, Madeline held off the
attackers for 16 days until help
arrived. The members all agreed on
how smart and resourceful she was.
Following this, the members went
downstairs with Sophie Jefferson to
play a game about the fur traders,
aka the voyageurs or coureurs des
bois. The members learned about
how the French traders got more furs
using the large canoes and going to
the Native Canadians instead of
making the Natives come to them as
the English did by having a relay.
Ellen Jefferson also told the
members about the voyagers. Many
voyagers wore a Ceinture Flechee,
which is a belt that is usually woven
on a loom. Ellen had begun to make
a simpler one, using the instructions
in the book.
Before Reba Jefferson closed the
meeting with the pledge, all the
members tried it and looked at the
one that Jolande Oudshoorn had also
started.
