Fractured homeland; federal recognition and Algonquin identity in Ontario. But during the last year, the Algonquins say Domtar has taken advantage of a leadership rift in the community and started clear-cutting again in ecologically and culturally sensitive areas that are supposed to be off-limits under the agreement. Barriere Lake has been without an officially recognized chief since last January, when Indian Affairs Minister Ron Irwin removed Jean-Maurice Mattchewan, the man who had led the Algonquins in their anti-logging campaign, as the community's long-time chief, saying he no longer represented the majority of residents.

Long, cold days spent on the barricades. The choice is now in the hands of Algonquin voters," said Kirby Whiteduck, chief of the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nation and one of 16 Algonquin negotiators with the Algonquins of Ontario. Following that release, the parties engaged in extensive consultation efforts in order to garner feedback from Algonquin voters, stakeholder groups, elected officials and the general public, reads a press statement. The Algonquins of Ontario A00 announced Dec.

By reconstructing Hudson's voyage up the river that now bears his name, the book connects that voyage to the Algonquin prophecy of the Fourth Fire which, today's Algonquins maintain, foretold the arrival of the Europeans down to the exact day. Algonquin Studios and the ALA decided to host the educational roundtable because, when looking at Information Technology services in the legal industry, they found that the topics and issues are so broad that legal administrators often find themselves in a uneasy position-unsure how to solve problems, who to ask for help, or even what questions they should be asking to get the help they need.

America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture. The fundamental basis of our Bill of Rights comes from the teachings which we get from Exodus and St. Matthew, from Isaiah and St.

But long before our Presidents stressed the importance of the Bible, our Founding Fathers the early leaders largely responsible for the birth and establishment of America as an independent nation had already done so. What a Utopia—what a Paradise would this region be! It is the only correct map of the human heart that ever has been published.

Were you to ask me for one book affording the most rational and pleasing entertainment to the enquiring mind, I should repeat, it is the Bible. And should you renew the inquiry for the best philosophy, or the most interesting history, I should still urge you to look into your Bible.

I would make it, in short, the alpha and omega of knowledge.

The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the Word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts.

I believe the Bible to be the written Word of God and to contain in it the whole rule of faith and manners. Bibles are strong entrenchments [lines of defense]. Where they abound, men cannot pursue wicked courses and at the same time enjoy quiet conscience. All of the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from them despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible. Many of the early explorers who had been influential in the growth and development of America were inspired by a love of God and His word.

As he explained in his Discourse on Western Planting :.

Champlain’s Shores

The Rev. The first Virginia settlers landed in America in April They erected a wooden cross at Cape Henry, where they came ashore. At the foot of this cross, the Rev. Those settlers sailed up a nearby river and chose a site for their new colony. The initial reaction of the neighboring Indians to this unexpected but friendly arrival was fear, suspicion, and outright hostility.

In fact, only two weeks after their arrival, Indians made a surprise attack on the settlement, killing two and wounding ten others. But this hostile beginning eventually changed, thanks in large part to Pocahontas, the young daughter of Powhatan, chief of the neighboring Indians. Those with him were tortured and killed, and Smith was held captive for weeks. Eventually, the Indians ordered him killed as well.

Powhatan declared they were now friends and that Smith could go back to Jamestown. But Almighty God, by His Divine Providence, had mollified [softened] the hearts of those stern barbarians with compassion. For example, during their first winter, their food ran out; but Pocahontas was instrumental in getting Indians to bring them supplies.

A Chronicle of Champlain

She brought food to the starving colonists at other times as well, and also helped them secure peace treaties with surrounding tribes. The colony survived and slowly began to grow, openly espousing Christian principles. For example, between and , their code of civil laws called their Lawes Divine, Morall, and Martiall, etc.

In , civic elections were held in Jamestown, and the result was the first elected representative body of the New World. It opened with prayer, and then met in the choir loft of the church. The painting of the Embarkation of the Pilgrims shows them on the ship the Speedwell observing a time of fasting and prayer before leaving Holland to come to America.

Significantly, many Native Americans became Christians, including Pocahontas, who was brought to a knowledge of Jesus Christ by the ministry of the Rev. Alexander Whitaker and others. After her baptism, Pocahontas adopted the Christian name Rebecca, by which she was called the remainder of her life. His personal faith was reflected in many open acknowledgments of God throughout his life, including his Last Will and Testament :. Another of the massive paintings that hangs in the US Capitol Rotunda each is 14 feet high and twenty feet wide is the Embarkation of the Pilgrims at Delfts Haven, Holland, July 22nd, , painted by Robert Weir and placed in the Capitol in The version of the Bible being held by Brewster and the version used extensively by the Pilgrims was known as the Geneva Bible.

It was the primary Bible of the English Reformation and was the favorite Bible of the Dissenters—those who largely settled America. They were called Dissenters because they objected to—that is, dissented from—the corrupt European practices of both State and Church. The Geneva Bible was first published in Geneva, Switzerland, in by English reformers and their followers who had fled there to escape severe religious persecution at the hands of the state-established churches in their various home countries.

That Bible went through editions from to It was also the first Bible to be taken to America, having been carried first by the Virginia colonists and then by the Pilgrims. One factor that made the Geneva Bible distinctive from all other Bibles at the time was its unique marginal commentaries. The Dissenters, by their study of the Geneva Bible and its commentaries, saw how flawed the civil and religious system was at that time in most countries across Europe.

When the Dissenters in England publicly pointed this out, they received vigorous persecution from the state-established national church. This same pattern of ill-treatment by state-established churches was common across Europe. But after twelve years in the secular culture of Holland, they became concerned for the faith of their children. They also preferred the overall English culture to that of the Dutch, so they decided to move to the new land of America, where they could 1 freely worship God, 2 raise Godly children, and 3 share the wonderful truths of the Christian Gospel with others.

But the ship also carried much more: it carried the Bible-based principles they had learned—principles that were to become the seeds of the greatest and freest nation the world has ever known. After sixty-six days at sea, including sailing through some treacherous storms, the Mayflower finally reached America. They finally put ashore at Cape Cod in the Massachusetts area, and after some searching they found an empty and uninhabited location in which to settle. Significantly, had the Pilgrims arrived at that same place some years earlier, they would have been met by the fierce Patuxet Indian tribe, which likely would have attacked and killed them all.

But in , a plague had mysteriously wiped out all of the tribe except one man: Squanto. He had been in England at the time of the outbreak and returned to the area just before the Pilgrims arrived, finding his entire tribe gone. Due to the devastating nature of the epidemic, the neighboring tribes were afraid to come near the place; they believed that some great supernatural spirit had destroyed the people there and might also kill them as well.

So the land was left abandoned and open—a perfect situation for the Pilgrims. Having arrived in an area not under the authority of the Virginia Colony, the Pilgrims drew up their own governmental compact before leaving the Mayflower , which declared:. Having undertaken for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia, do by these presents [that is, by this legal document and charter] solemnly and mutually, in the presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic.

That document, known as the Mayflower Compact , was the first civil governing document written in America and the New World. When the Pilgrims came ashore, they fell to their knees and thanked God, reaffirming their continuing reliance upon Him. Squanto later met them and would become instrumental in their survival.

It was built on land purchased from the Indians—at the price set by the Indians. In the beginning, life in that colony was very difficult. In fact, in the first winter alone, half the Pilgrims died. But despite that hardship, the next spring when the Mayflower returned to England, not one Pilgrim chose to go back. At the end of the first year, the Pilgrims celebrated the thanksgiving festival that has become the national holiday we still celebrate each year today in November.

The Pilgrims believed the Bible was a complete guidebook for how to live all of life, and their code of laws clearly reflected this belief. Significantly, much of what they instituted as early as became standard in America, including trial by jury and private property rights.

Jamestown was the first English colony in America; and in the Pilgrims founded the second English colony, but the first one in the northern parts of America. In fact, they were severely persecuted by the king for their attempts to clean up the corrupt church. Finally deciding they could not purify that Church, they came to America and set up their own model Church of England to be an example of a true uncorrupted Church.
