	Chipewyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Historically the Chipewyan were somewhat allied to the southerly Cree and warred against Inuit and Dene peoples to the north of their lands.
		Despite the superficial similarity of the names, the Chipewyan are not related to the Chippewa or Ojibwa.
		An important historic Chipewyan is Thanadelthur ("Marten Jumping"), a young woman who early in the 18th century helped her people to establish peace with the Cree, and to get involved with the fur trade (Steckley 1999).

	Human History of Northern Saskatchewan
		The Chipewyans of this region, then, lived in the protohistoric period for almost a century, from about 1620 to l7l7, in receipt of some European technological items but in the absence of Europeans in their territory.
		The Chipewyans were known to the traders on the Hudson Bay as early as the 1680s; however, the first European known to have travelled into Chipewyan territory was William Stewart, in the winter of 1715-16.
		Stewart's mission was to establish peace between the Chipewyans and the Crees and to persuade the Chipewyans to become involved in the fur trade.

	Why is Cancer Sweeping Tiny Fort Chipewyan?
		A generation ago, Lake Athabasca was clear and clean enough that Fort Chipewyan residents drew their drinking water straight from it, and thought nothing about dipping a cup over the side of a canoe during hunting trips.
		Other Fort Chipewyan residents, too afraid to drink from their taps at all, are paying to have bottled water flown in.
		Like many in Fort Chipewyan, the Simpsons began to suspect their surroundings were making them sick after the town's fly-in doctor, John O'Connor, began to push for an official inquiry into what he saw as an astonishingly high number of cancer cases.

	Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian - Uncorrected OCR Text for volume 18 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		He never mentions the Chipewyan as such, although his "Athapuscow" sometimes seems to refer to that branch of the family, while in other passages he definitely infers that the "Athapuscow" speak the "Southern Indian" language and therefore are western Cree.
		Apparently they were Cree, not Chipewyan, for Mackenzie says that it was the former who carried their furs down the river, while the latter made a hazardous and laborious journey over the barren grounds, where they sometimes met death by starvation.
		The Chipewyan call this animal "the wary one." The favorite method used to be to surround a bit of swamp or brush in which one was known to be feeding; and while one hunter slowly followed its trail, others disposed themselves in favorable spots and loosed their arrows if the animal came within range.

	Thanadelthur
		Thanadelthur was a young Chipewyan woman who was one of the most outstanding female diplomats of the fur trade and acted as guide, interpreter and peace negotiator for Governor Knight of the Hudson's Bay Company at York Factory.
		The presence of the Chipewyan Indians to the north was known to the English, however, these Indians were prevented from trading directly by the Cree Indians who sought to preserve their position in the fur trade as middlemen.
		The Chipewyan themselves were not excited about undertaking such an arduous journey so soon after their arrival, and they were still afraid of having to pass through country of a band of Cree who had not been a party to the peace ceremony.

	Along the Chipewyan-Cree Interface
		The southern Chipewyan and Western Woods Cree are both subarctic hunting people who became intimately involved with each other as the EuroCanadian-organized fur trade spread through north-central Canada beginning in the late 18th century.
		It was evident that Chipewyan and Cree populations had not competed on an equal footing in the developing fur trade political economy.
		While the Chipewyan had retained a position as hunters par excellence, the primary producers of the mercantile system, the Cree had some historical experience as successful middlemen, and the growing Metis Cree class filled a niche as fur trade laborers and seasonal outpost managers.

	Chippewa and Chipewyan Indians of Canada
		Petitot (1876 a) states that the Chipewyan tribe was living on Peace River in 1718, that after the Cree had obtained guns they drove the Etchaottine or Slaves from their hunting grounds along Slave River, but that they were attacked in turn by the Chipewyan and expelled from the country, the Chipewyan taking their places.
		Slave River is occupied by Cree, as is also Fort Chipewyan; and the Cree dwell all along the Peace River up to Peace River Landing, and have a large colony at Hudson Hope.
		From one of their Chipewyan bands, the Athabaska, has come the term Athapascan selected by Powell (1891) for the designation of the linguistic stock to which the Chipewyan belong, although, curiously enough, the name does not appear to be Athapascan at all.

	Fanggui Li Collection, American Philosophical Society
		The Li Collection is comprised of ten volumes containing stories in Chipewyan collected in northern Alberta in 1928 by the Chinese-American linguist, Fanggui Li, along with an extensive Chipewyan slip file.
		Li had selected Chipewyan on the belief that it contained more "archaic features" than other Athapascan languages, and believed that it would therefore provide insight into the linguistic evolution of the family.
		The balance of the collection consists of an extensive slipfile for the Chipewyan language, and two audio cassettes of oral history interviews conducted by Laurence C. Thompson and M. Terry Thompson in 1982, concering Li's memories of Edward Sapir and other colleagues in linguistics.
