The British Indian Department was established in 1755 by the British Crown as a quasi-military organization dedicated to maintain the Silver Covenant Chain of Friendship and the well-being of its Indigenous Allies in North America.
Although some of the senior personnel used their position for personal gain, the employees of the Department fought valiantly alongside their ‘Native Allies’ in three major wars. Many United Empire Loyalist descendants, now citizens of the province of Ontario, can proudly trace their ancestry to the officers and men of this storied corps. April 4, 2020 - Clark Bernat - Old Maps of The Niagara Area
We all use maps for many historical purposes. For this talk, Clark Bernat will explore some well-known maps (and maybe some not so well-known) and explore stories that you may not have known about them or aspects that he finds fascinating to our knowledge of early Niagara.
Clark Bernat is the Culture and Museums Manager for the city of Niagara Falls. He oversees not only the Niagara Falls History Museum but also the Battle Ground Hotel Museum and the Willoughby Historical Museum. May 2, 2020 - Elaine Gill UE - Acadian Ancestors
