	The Untold Story: The Irish in Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		One of the clichés of Newfoundland history is that it is the oldest British colony overseas; this view, of course, excludes the six counties of Northern Ireland.
		To return to Newfoundland, by the end of the 18th century, an Irish population was prominant in the Avalon Penninsula, specifically in St. John's, the southern shore, Placentia and the larger settlements in Conception Bay.
		Irish was spoken in all (these) settlements and in some of them, it was the dominant language before yielding to English at the same time as Irish was declining in Ireland.

	Newfoundland Irish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newfoundland Irish (Irish: Gaeilge Talamh an Éisc) is a dialect of the Irish language specific to the island of Newfoundland and widely spoken until the mid-20th century.
		The Irish language was commonly spoken among the Newfoundland Irish until the middle of the 20th century.
		Both the Irish language and Hiberno-English have had a clear and noticeable impact on the dialect of English spoken in Newfoundland, known as Newfoundland English.

	Newfoundland's United Irish Uprising -- The Wild Geese Today
		Newfoundland's Irish had no doubt been inflamed by the rising in Ireland, but, in addition, they too lived in poverty.
		The history of the Irish in Newfoundland, a massive island off Canada's eastern shore, dates to 1622, when an Irishman was reportedly found hunting beaver with Native Americans.
		When unrest came to Newfoundland in the form of United Irish agitation, it is not surprising that O'Donel came down firmly on the side of the British.

	Welcome to the Ireland Newfoundland Partnership
		Although the census is almost certainly incomplete, the number of Irish families resident in Newfoundland, scattered over 200 miles of coastline, would hardly exceed the population of an average Irish townland and the total summer presence that of an average rural parish in county Waterford.
		Close to 1/3 of all Irish in winter and only 17% in summer were women, but this sedentary segment of the population was to grow as Irish female migration and family formation expanded in the second half of the century.
		Newfoundland is a classic example of the significance of locality in transatlantic migration.

	Newfoundland and Daniel O'Connell: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		Given the constant exchange of passengers, news, commerce, and goods between Ireland and the Irish community in Newfoundland in the 1820s and 1830s, it was perhaps natural for the latter to look to Ireland for solutions to their problems with Britain and British rule in Newfoundland, particularly after institutions of local government were established.
		The granting of Catholic emancipation in Newfoundland, was not as straightforward as it was for Ireland, and this question had a significant influence on the wider struggle for a legislature.
		No other expatriate Irish community sought or received his assistance as much, or were as actively interested in his success, as the Irish in Newfoundland.

	The Irish in Canada: A Strong, 'Loyal' Presence -- The Wild Geese Today
		By 1731, historian R.G. Lounsbury reported that "the majority of the male population (in Newfoundland) were Irish Roman Catholics." In spite of their large numbers, the Irish there experienced the same religious prejudice they faced at home.
		It should be noted, that many of the Irish who came to Canada through the early years, just as was the case in the American colonies, were from the group sometimes known as Scots-Irish, often from Ulster.
		Unlike the many Irish massed in the large urban areas of America's Atlantic coast, the Irish of Canada continued to spread themselves around the vast expanse of Canada.

	The Untold Story: The Irish in Canada
		Despite the rich body of scholarship on the Irish in eastern and central Canada, there are, however, relatively few examples of detailed investigation of Irish origins of the immigrants, with the exception of Punch, O'Gallagher and O'Grady and the wider ranging studies of Elliot and Mannion.
		Punch has estimated that approximately 7,000 Irish died in Halifax and New Brunswick during the nineteenth century, and that virtually' all of those arrived in the period 1800-1845: it is upon these two groups that many of the generalizations about the Irish in Canada have been based.
		The consequences of the Irish were significant in the American case but the belief that the same held true for Canada is a mistaken hangover from the period in which the American sterotypes dominated our perception.

		The complex flag bore an elaborate device around which was a wreath "composed of the rose, thistle and shamrock, denoting the stock from whence the Newfoundlander derives his origin." Newfoundlander is a title reserved for the native born, in use since as early as 1765.
		The original flag of the Newfoundland Native Society was a pink flag, with two clasped hands extending to the elbows and a spruce tree in the centre.
		Thus was born the pink, white and green tricolour of Newfoundland, a flag which quickly gained prominent social and commercial and governmental use throughout the island.

	Canadian Irish History
		Some of the Irish also still viewed the English as the enemy at that time and adopted a philosophy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" when they became involved in the conflicts of the two colonial powers.
		Irish settlers found both provinces ideal for the kind of agriculture and fishery they were used to; even today these two provinces are Canada's largest producers of potatoes.
		The consequences of the Irish were significant in the American case but the belief that the same held true for Canada is a mistaken hangover from the period in which the American stereotypes dominated our perception.

		The Irish migrations to Newfoundland, and the associated provisions trade, represent the oldest and most enduring connections between Ireland and Canada.
		An increase in Irish immigration, particularly of women, between 1800-1835, and the related natural population growth, helped transform the social, demographic, and cultural character of Newfoundland.

	The Irish in Newfoundland
		We have seen that the 'Irish Papist' could not be discouraged out of the country, in which he was not without the ministration of the priest, who, though he had no fixed abode in the island, usually came out in a fishing-boat, and so disguised as to escape the vigilance of the hostile authorities.
		In the year of grace 1784 liberty of conscience was proclaimed in Newfoundland, and the Catholics at once, took advantage of the boon.
		He was the first regularly authorised missioner in Newfoundland since it had been ceded to the British in 1713; and to his wisdom, firmness and sagacity are due the practical settlement of the Irish in that colony.

	Irish Canadian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Irish immigrants arrived in large numbers in Montreal during the 1840's and were hired as labourors to build the Victoria Bridge, living in a tent city at the foot of the bridge.
		Newfoundland then joined Canada by a 52-48% margin, and with an influx of Protestants into St. John's after the closure of the east coast cod fishery in the 1990s, the main issues have become one of Rural vs. Urban interests rather than anything religious.
		Newfoundland is one of the few places outside Ireland where the Irish language was spoken by a majority of the population as their primary language.

		The Irish population of Canada began with settlers who came during the early years of the 1800s.
		The fishing industry off Newfoundland was involved in bringing some Irish people to this Atlantic colony as early as the 1700s.
		After a few years, some Irish fishery workers put up rough houses in Newfoundland and stayed during the winters, rather than going home at the end of each fishing season.

	Music from Newfoundand, PEI & the Maritime Provinces
		Newfoundlanders are represented by The Ennis Sisters, The Fables, and The Celtic Connection.
		Generally, the addition of The Chieftains on this album muddles the arrangements and adds an out-of-place Irish sound to music that is essentially not Irish.
		The rest of the album has less of the over-the-top energy that characterized their debut album, but is again a set of very well crafted songs, half traditional, half originals, all with the same folky feel.

	LP Recordings of Traditional Newfoundland Music
		Their conscious attempt to keep their style traditional is in part explained by the more conservative nature of the "expatriate" Newfoundlander who is more likely to want to hear songs that remind him of his outport days — i.e., songs that evoke nostalgia for the homeland — than would a continuous resident of the island.
		The Newfoundland Showband is more a blend of country and western and traditional Newfoundland music, with such songs as "Bed of Roses" and "I's the B'y" sharing the same LP.
		In the liner notes to his album, Pinsent says, "The sound of Newfoundland folk song deserves to be included in the master sound of folk songs everywhere." Pinsent's performing style, as heard on his album ROOTS, Arc ACS-5027, is consciously stereotypic of traditional Newfoundland singing.

	The Coracle Irish-Newfoundland Fellowships and Roundtables
		Brendan the Navigator sailed in a coracle from Ireland to Iceland, Greenland and perhaps all the way to the island of Newfoundland.
		The journey is impossible to confirm, but in 1976, English adventurer Tim Severin replicated it, proving that such a voyage in a small but surprisingly seaworthy coracle was possible.
		These initiatives have been established to promote exchanges between Ireland and Newfoundland and Labrador in all areas relevant to this important relationship, and which can address common challenges and goals.
