This study explores past and present conflict in Northern Manitoba through the lens of the Helen Betty Osborne case. Although Helen Betty was murdered over forty years ago, conflict concerning racial discrimination, sexism, and social injustice continues to impact community members in The Pas, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the R.M. of Kelsey, and other communities living in the province and across Canada. Her story has also undergone processes of silencing and desilencing over time as conflict over past/present social injustice resurfaces. Through the use of semi-structured, one-on-one interviews and focus groups, participants were asked to reflect on the impact of the Osborne case, their experiences with racism in the community, and what could be done to improve cross-cultural relationships moving forward. Using narrative inquiry and an Indigenist philosophy toward research, this study incorporates the stories of these individuals and presents them in a timeline: the past, the present, and the future. Drawing on this structure for analysis provides insight into past and present conflict, yet also reveals the presence of community peacemakers who have contributed to the formation and building of cross-cultural relationships in the area. Key findings revolve around participants’ suggestions for what the community needs to do to move forward and improve cross-cultural relationships, which include youth engagement, learning culture, increased cross-cultural interaction and dialogue, establishing safe places in which conflict can be addressed and vulnerable people can go to for help, and finding innovative ways to “celebrate diversity” and “build a human culture” in diverse communities. Ultimately, though, the significant and rising number of Indigenous women who continue to experience unprecedented levels of abuse in Canada warrants further inquiry into the unique challenges Indigenous women continue to face.

The purpose of this thesis has been the re-creation of the social background of Dorothy Osborne, an evaluation of her letters, and an examination of the scholarship done on the letters. The series of letters, which has been called one of the best of the Restoration correspondences, was written by Dorothy Osborne, during the years 1652-1654, to her lover, William Temple. Three collected editions of the letters were used, by E.A. Parry, Israel Gollancz and G.C. Moore Smith, respectively. Moore Smith compiled his edition using the original spelling and punctuation of the letters, but a detailed examination of the text showed that it was substantially the same as the first edition, which was made by Parry. The Gollancz edition is not as complete as either of the other two. Moore Smith's edition of Lady Giffard’s MSS. was used extensively, as this contained much information on both Dorothy Osborne and William Temple. In studying the bibliography of the letters, it was found that there was much careless scholarship, even on the part of Professor Moore Smith. The major error, however, belongs to Edward Gibbon, the historian, who had harsh things to say about Temple's scholarship, and whose criticism was perpetuated in both Parry's and Moore Smith's editions. With regard to essays and literary criticisms carelessness was still more evident. Both Virginia Woolf and Lord David Cecil were guilty in this respect, the latter having half a dozen grave errors in his latest book on the subject. To amplify the background of the social scene several volumes relating to the period were examined, and a collection of Lady Giffard's letters, which included half a dozen letters from Lady Temple to her husband, were carefully considered. In the evaluation of the letters essayists and editors of the literature of the period were consulted. It was found that not enough importance was attached to Henry Osborne, the strange figure who haunts the letters; therefore this aspect of the letters was examined in detail, probably for the first time. To sum up: the thesis contains some new material, it clears up several vexed points, and it assembles pertinent material taken from ninety letters in such a way as to give a picture of the life and times of Dorothy Osborne. / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate
