Notre Dame Bay in northern Newfoundland was an effective cultural, economic and environmental borderland. The Bay was the core homeland of the Beothuk Natives. They practiced a cyclical economic and spiritual life system that revolved around the seasonal movement of salmon stocks and seal and caribou herds. The Beothuk ranged far offshore to harvest birds on outlying islands, and they wintered in the interior at Red Indian Lake. The Notre Dame Bay zone was distinct, climatically and in other ways, from the rest of Newfoundland. The ecoregion of the Bay is the warmest and driest in Newfoundland, for example. The French had exploited the Bay from the earliest years of their long distance North American fishery, and the English began moving north from their base along the long-settled English Shore in the early 1700s. These first English visitors were looking for furbearers to trap, since the Beothuk had chosen not to trade with any Europeans. The floral and faunal biomass of the region made economic settlement viable. Two rivers, Newfoundland's largest, provided a navigable corridor to the interior with its temperate continental climate, as the Beothuk had long known. The English began to settle in the harbours and coves of the Bay and ultimately squeezed out the commuting French. Deprived of access to the coast and its spiritual and economic resources, the Beothuk retreated to the interior and were extinct by the late 1820s. In recent years, the borderlands perspective has emerged as one way to frame historical questions emerging from an increased interest in transregional themes such as the Atlantic world. Borderlands were zones where newcomers of various ethnic and traditions competed with Natives to form transitory, liminal regions of community formation and cultural métissage. The borderlands perspective as I employ it also privileges the environmental determinants of settlement by both indigenous and European migrants. Borderlands often unfolded in discrete bioregions such as islands, mountain ranges, or river valleys...all ecologically-bounded zones where the experiences of both Natives and newcomers played out in dynamic conversation with nature. Ultimately, borderlands were events, temporary middle-places of imperial rivalry and socio-economic innovation occasioned by the interaction of climate, geography, biota, indigenous human residents, and incoming settlers. As events, borderlands have definable starting and ending points. This chapter will assess the efficacy of the borderlands perspective in generating a synthesized discussion of a specific Atlantic Canadian bioregion. This analytical vehicle can allow for previously unseen contours of interdependent social, economic and ecological change to be exposed. Are ecologically bounded zones of human competition over resources and land/waterscapes a valid unit of analysis for framing transregional historical questions? Additionally, species depletion, human migration, fire, and climate variability are examples of historical events that have modern parallels. Borderland studies can provide public historians with rich material for cultural programming. This is vital in the modern world, were legacy borderland communities are often located in rural and economically challenged areas. The borderlands approach to history can provide modern economic planners with actionable, ethical alternatives for regional development and rural renewal.

This book offers a selection of papers by Olaf U. Janzen concerning the maritime history of eighteenth-century Newfoundland, reprinted from various publications and assembled here in chronological order. It explores themes of imperial dominance expressed by both the British and French empires in the struggle for sovereignty that ensconced the two nations. The Newfoundland fishery in the wake of the Treaty of Utrecht was also source of tension between British and French fishermen due to the fishery’s lucrative status. In attempt to integrate Newfoundland’s maritime history into the wider context of the North Atlantic world it examines the struggles of France as their maritime trade went into decline; the dominance of the British Royal Navy on the Atlantic Ocean; the struggle of indigenous Canadians to migrate to Newfoundland; and the efforts of America during the War of Independence to target the fishery when vulnerable. It consists of an introduction, twelve chapters exploring pertinent themes, and an appendix containing reprinted oil paintings of British artist Francis Holman depicting a naval engagement of 7-8 July 1777 involving numerous vessels.

Excerpt from A Historical Geography of the British Colonies, Vol. 5: Newfoundland In the first place there is an immobility in the history of Newfoundland, and a fixity of character in the Newfoundlander, which is unique in colonial history. Somersetshire, Devonshire, and Irish peasants are there and have been there from the first or almost from the first, preserving their ancient types, partly it is true by constant movements between their old and new homes, but partly also from other causes. These things presage monotony. On the other hand, Newfoundland has lived a continuous life and has kept its identity inviolate for more than goo years. Its earliest years were surrounded by the thrilling incidents of the heroic age of European history, its middle years were dis turbed by the din of the three anglo-french duels, and even its latest years enshrine bygone prejudices, which it requires some historical imagination to reconstruct. There is always interest in a long life; and the long life which is a doubtful and a threatened life, and over which swords hang by threads, is doubly interest ing. The uncertainty of its fate is the second charac teristic which distinguishes the history of Newfoundland from that of other colonies.
