Charles Marius Barbeau, anthropologist, ethnologist, folklorist, ethnomusicologist (born 5 March 1883 in Ste-Marie-de-Beauce, QC and died 27 February 1969 in Ottawa, ON).
Marius Barbeau was a pioneering anthropologist and the founder of professional folklore studies in Canada. He worked at the National Museum (now the Canadian Museum of History) from 1911 until the late 1960s, collecting a vast archive of thousands of traditional songs, texts and artifacts — especially of French Canadian and Aboriginal peoples. Barbeau also founded the Archives de folklore at Université Laval and several folklore groups. He was especially successful in bringing ethnology and folklore to the Canadian public through several prizewinning books, as well as tireless lecturing and teaching. He received many honours and awards, and was made a Companion of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.

Barbeau studied music as a child with his mother and took his classical studies at the Collège de Ste-Anne-de-la-Pocatière. He went on to earn a BA and a law degree at Université Laval. After receiving a Rhodes Scholarship in 1907, he studied anthropology, archeology and ethnology at Oriel College, Oxford (1907–10). He also took summer courses in Paris at the École des hautes études de la Sorbonne and at the École d'anthropologie. In Paris he met Marcel Mauss, who encouraged him to study North American Aboriginal folklore, and Raoul and Marguerite d'Harcourt, who aroused his interest in the musical culture of early Aboriginal civilizations.

Barbeau returned to Canada in 1910, and was hired the next year as anthropologist and ethnologist at the Museum Branch of the Geological Survey of Canada (which became the National Museum in 1927 and is now the Canadian Museum of History). In the spring of 1911, on a Huron reserve in Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, near Québec City, he began a series of recordings on Edison wax cylinders. He pursued his research with the Huron at Lorette for three years, and also spent time at the Quapaw reserve in Oklahoma.

In 1912, a delegation of chiefs from western Alberta, from the Rocky Mountains, and from Salish near the Fraser and Thomson rivers came to Ottawa to discuss territorial issues with the government. Barbeau took this opportunity to record some 60 songs. During the course of another excursion, he visited (and grew interested in the mythology of) other people, among them the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and Wendat. Through his encounters with the Wendat Lorette, he came across aspects of French folklore, and the mixture of French-Canadian and Indigenous tales stimulated his interest in French-Canadian folklore. His 1914 meeting with the US anthropologist Franz Boas encouraged him to pursue his research in this vein.

Barbeau worked in the US and across Canada, in particular with the Tsimshian in British Columbia. The Tsimshian myth of an ancient migration from a distant homeland convinced him that they had journeyed across the Bering Sea from Asia within living memory. While anthropologists no longer accept this hypothesis, it was a powerful motive for Barbeau's activity over the years, aided by Tsimshian chief William Beynon, in recording the tribe's traditional lore in order to preserve the legacy of a fading past in the face of the pressures of the industrial age.

In 1916, Barbeau set off on a recording expedition along the St. Lawrence River, determined to refute the assumption that Ernest Gagnon, in his Chansons populaires du Canada (Québec, 1865), had published all the traditional French songs there were to be found. In Barbeau’s first investigation in the counties of Charlevoix and Chicoutimi, he was able to gather, in notation and recordings, more than 500 songs and several folk legends — enough material to prove his point. An initial field trip among Northwest Coast Aboriginal peoples in 1914 was followed by many subsequent visits. Edward Sapir and Sir Ernest MacMillan taught him how to set down folk tunes in musical notation.

In 1918, Barbeau became president of the American Folklore Society, of which he had been a member since 1911. He became assistant editor of the Journal of American Folklore starting in 1915. In 1916, he was elected to membership in the Royal Society of Canada, and in 1933 he became president of its francophone section. He was named a Fellow in 1950. In 1917, he reconstituted the Canadian Society of Folklore in two divisions, in order to more effectively serve the separate needs of the provinces of Québec and Ontario in the collection.

By 1939, he was a member of the Washington Academy of Sciences, the Canadian Authors Association and the Société des écrivains canadiens. He gave his first series of courses in human geography at the University of Ottawa in 1942. In 1945, he joined the faculty of letters at Université Laval, where, in 1942, he began lecturing during the summer. (The Archives de folklore at Université Laval was established in 1944.)

He retired from the National Museum in 1948, but kept up his private research. For many more years, he devoted himself to the transcription and publication of the folk tunes and texts he had collected during his expeditions. From 1956 to 1963, he served as president of the Canadian Society for Traditional Music, which he also co-founded.

In 1963, on Radio-Canada, he presented his reminiscences and findings in a series of eight programs called “Le Rossignol y chante” for the Images du Canada series. His interests were wide-ranging and covered not only music, folklore and ethnology but also art in general — sculpture, architecture, embroidery, culinary arts and painting. He was also interested in the origin and history of the West Coast Aboriginal peoples as revealed in their totem poles. In linguistics, he revealed the relationship between the Huron and Iroquois languages. He contributed articles to many periodicals, among them La Revue canadienne, La Revue populaire, Scientific American, the Bulletin of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia, Le Canada français, Culture, La Revue de l'Université d'Ottawa, Journal of American Folklore, Saturday Night, the Beaver and the Canadian Forum.

Jessie Louise Beattie, poet, educator, novelist, dramatist (born at Blair, Ont, 2 Oct 1896; died at Hamilton, Ont, 5 Oct 1985). The youngest of 7 children, Jessie Louise Beattie demonstrated a penchant for writing at an early age: by 15 she had published her first poem in the Galt Reporter newspaper. After graduating from "Tassie Hall," a colloquial name for Galt Collegiate Institute and Vocational School, Beattie worked as a librarian in Kitchener, Hamilton and Buffalo, NY, and completed her post-secondary education at the Universities of Buffalo and TORONTO. In 1928 she returned home to care for her aging parents and received her teaching license from the Government of Ontario. Beattie tutored local students and became involved in a local literary club for young women. In order to raise money to purchase books for the club Beattie wrote a play, The Four Leaf Clover (1934). The Welfare Council of Ontario received word of Beattie's efforts and hired her to teach play production skills in rural communities (1934-1937). Her involvement in education continued: from 1937-1939 Beattie served as house mother at Coronation Cottage at the Ontario Training School for Girls in Galt. During WORLD WAR II Beattie moved to Vancouver and worked as a librarian at the Vancouver Public Library. Following the war she returned to Ontario, settling in Hamilton, where she continued writing and tutoring. By 1967 Beattie had begun to lose her sight, but continued to write by dictating her books onto tape. She died in Hamilton, Ontario, and is buried at Blair Cemetery in her hometown.
Jessie Louise Beattie wrote and achieved success in many genres, including poetry (Blown Leaves, 1929), adventure (The Log-Line: The Adventures of a Great Sailing Captain, 1972) and biography (John Christie Holland, Man of the Year, 1956). During her long career Beattie published 20 books, including novels and poetry collections, and also published 3 plays and 1 operetta. She was unafraid to deal with contentious issues in Canadian society: her novel Strength for the Bridge (1966) examines the experience of JAPANESE CANADIANS during World War II, something she learned of while living in Vancouver during the war. The novel portrays Japanese Canadians with sympathy and Beattie does not hesitate to criticize the Canadian government and its citizens for their parts in the ill treatment of immigrants. Jessie Louise Beattie continues to be of interest to critics for the quality and range of her work.
