1	Bioherm Development in the Edgecliff Member of the Onondaga Formation, Port Colborne, Ontario Johnston, Craig Thomas 04 1900 (has links) <p> Bioherm growth within the Edgecliff Member of the Onondaga Formation in the vicinity of Port Colborne, Ontario is represented by a broad low-lying coralliferous mound, trending approximately north-south. The mound displays a progressive pattern of faunal and lithologic succession which can be broken down into four stages. The Basal and Coral-Rich Basal Facies represents deposition in a shallow to deep shelf lagoon, below fair weather wave base and above storm wave base. Stage I of mound development is initiated in response to a slight regression near the top of these facies, corresponding to the deposition of the Transitional Facies, a shoaling upwards sequence reaching above the surrounding substrate. stage II is represented by the colonization and stabilization of the mound by solitary and colonial corals within fair weather wave base. Stage III results in the diversification of the mound upwards into a high energy zone, corresponding to the deposition of the Core Facies. At this time, sea-level remains stable and intermound areas are filled in by the Biostrome, Flank, and Flank/Cap Facies. The final stage, Stage IV represents the termination of mound growth by deposition of a crinoidal cap due to, either a fall in sea-level, or growth of the mound into the surf zone.</p> <p> The inferred paleocurrent direction from facies relationships, and a measured coral orientation, suggest currents direction from the southeast to northwest.</p> <p> Thus, the Edgecliff Member of the Onondaga Formation in the vicinity of Port Colborne, Ontario represents deposition in a shallow shelf lagoon, and displays evidence for two possible sea-level fluctuations; one near the top of the Basal and Coral-Rich Basal Facies, and the second corresponding the Flank/Cap and Cap Facies, terminating mound development.</p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Science (BSc)
2	Indigenous and settler understandings of the Manitoulin Island Treaties of 1836 (Treaty 45) and 1862 West, Allyshia 06 January 2011 (has links) This work explores the insights that can be gained from an investigation of the shared terms of the Manitoulin Island treaties of 1836 (Treaty 45) and 1862. I focus specifically on these treaties because I was raised in proximity to this area. This thesis is very much a personal exploration in the sense that I have come to understand myself as implicated in a treaty relationship and wish to know my obligations under these agreements. In my interpretation of the Manitoulin Island treaties, I employ a strategy developed by Dr. Michael Asch that begins with the Indigenous understandings. Within this strategy, treaties are conceptualized as honourable agreements meant to ensure our legitimate presence on this land. This methodology is unique in the sense that it conceives of our representatives' actions as sincere. This step is necessary because Indigenous peoples believed we were acting honourably during negotiations. In applying this strategy in my reading of the Manitoulin Island treaties, my objective is to discern the treaty relationship that was established, and to state clearly the obligations of both parties under these agreements. Though the primary focus of this thesis is my analysis of the treaties, I briefly discuss in my conclusion the anthropological insights I have gained from this exercise with respect to communication across cultures. Throughout this work, I focus on the concept of sharing as a productive and positive framework for thinking about relationships between cultures. historical treaties Manitoulin Island Treaty of 1862 interpretivist anthropology intercultural communication Sir Francis Bond Head Royal Proclamation Treaty of Niagara Anishnabe Ojibwe treaty interpretation cultural commensurability British Indian policy Sir George Murray Sir James Kempt Sir John Colborne Lord Glenelg Ottawas Chippewas Aborigines' Protection Society T.G.
