Shanawdithit Research Paper

288 Words2 Pages

Shanawdithit was the last known survivor of the Beothuk from Newfoundland. As a child, she witnessed several encounters between the Beothuk and the British. Shanawdithit was born in Newfoundland in 1801, the same time the Beothuk population began to dwindle. They suffered the assimilation of their way of culture caused by encroaching British settlements, diseases they had no immunity to, and diminishing access to the sea, a main resource for food. The Beothuk had avoided the British for a very long time and British trappers regarded the Beothuk as thieves and sometimes attacked them. Shanawdithit was shot in the arm one time by a British trapper for washing venison in the river. In 1819, Shanawdithit’s aunt Demasduwit was captured by the British

    In early 1853, Douglas took action to apprehend Siamsit, the Native man accused of murdering Peter Brown. Several pieces of text accounting this event are available. Some include more information than others, and vary from primary accounts to secondary retellings. I believe that what actually happened is what Douglas stated, but that there was obviously also the Native’s entire side of the story. The allusions to the Native’s unimpressed reactions and their unfortunate treatment in the second document I believe to be accurate and that more was felt that day than we are told.
