No references found | Perhaps the main reason for writing about the Beothuk is to assure that the memory of them is not lost, or at least the memory of their genocide, the wanton and cruel destruction of a people who called themselves the People, a symbol for other peoples who have been destroyed, past and present. There were probably less than a thousand of them at this time, but skirmishes and wars between the two races resulted in Beothuk extinction within three years. A birch bark model canoe which she made, soon to go on display for the first time at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, south-east London, is a memorial to a woman who lost her family, her people, and even her own name before she died in Newfoundland more than 170 years ago, the last of the Beothuk Indians. |
