Gary Tibo's life story reads like an adventure through Canada's cultural identity. Raised in the Sudbury Basin with Aboriginal roots—his father a Beothuk native from Newfoundland—Gary grew up hunting with a loaded gun at age ten, bringing fish home after school, and learning to live completely off the land. His father's determination that Gary wouldn't follow him into the dangerous mining industry led to an apprenticeship that shaped his future.With hands that could feel differences in engine parts others couldn't see, Gary became a renowned automotive machinist whose expertise made him legendary in performance engine building. His innate curiosity drove him to understand root causes rather than just symptoms, whether in engines or later, in human health. This mindset of looking beyond the obvious would eventually save his life.At age 38, Gary faced a devastating diagnosis of Crohn's disease and colitis. After two frustrating years of conventional treatments that only made him worse, he walked away from modern medicine and turned to his ancestral knowledge. Drawing from childhood lessons learned from his grandmother and indigenous elders, Gary began a radical transformation—growing his own food, eliminating processed foods, and discovering powerful plant medicines that healed his intestinal inflammation when pharmaceuticals couldn't.The results were extraordinary. Not only did Gary heal himself, but he maintained a family food bill of just $30 weekly for three decades through self-sufficiency practices. His journey from master machinist to nutritionist demonstrates how indigenous wisdom can offer solutions to modern health crises and food insecurity. Gary's story challenges us to question conventional systems and reconnect with traditional knowledge that sustained humanity for generations before supermarkets and pharmaceuticals.Ready to discover more about living self-sufficiently and healing naturally? Gary's experiences offer practical wisdom for anyone seeking greater independence from systems that often fail to address root causes of our most pressing health and social challenges.

Greg Marchildon speaks with Christopher Patrick Aylward about his book, Beothuk: How Story Made a People (Almost) Disappear. The Beothuk were once thought to be an isolated people made extinct in 1829 due to conflicts with settlers and the Mi'kmaq. This narrative became widely accepted in history. In Beothuk, Christopher Aylward critiques how external accounts, from Viking sagas to European explorers and early anthropologists, shaped the misrepresentation of the Beothuk's history. He argues that the notion of their extinction was never proven and was only questioned when Indigenous perspectives began to emerge in the 1920s. Through new sources such as archaeological evidence, oral histories, and testimonies from Indigenous groups, a more accurate historical understanding of the Beothuk has developed. The book underscores the importance of Indigenous voices in telling their own history. Christopher Patrick Aylward is a filmmaker and associate professor of film studies at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Keith Cormier is renewing calls to have the name of Mount Peyton changed in the spirit of truth and reconciliation, because the mountain peak in Central Newfoundland is named for a notorious settler who is infamous for having killed Beothuk people. Newfoundland Morning's Bernice Hillier met up with Cormier at the Mikwite'tm Garden on the Majestic Lawn in Corner Brook.

Every year, the Playwrights Guild of Canada recognizes an author whose work challenges conventional thinking and questions the status quo. A couple of nights ago at a ceremony in Toronto, Leahdawn Helena was presented with the John Palmer Award for her play, "Stolen Sisters." 

The book has been years in the making... and on this day for Truth and Reconciliation the author lays out the oral and written accounts from the past and present... and reconsiders the future of the Beothuk story. (Krissy Holmes with Christopher Aylward)

We all know what happened to the Beothuk. Or we think we do. We learned in school about how an entire race of Indigenous people were wiped out by the early 1800s. But, over the years, some people have held the belief that the Beothuk people didn't actually become extinct. In fact, there are some who believe there are Newfoundlanders today who have Beothuk ancestry. Chris Aylward is author of a new book called, "Beothuk: How Story Made a People (Almost) Disappear."

Contractors are working hard to finish a memorial in Botwood to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of Demasduit, one of the last known Beothuk. The unveiling is set for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in September. But a recent rash of vandalism at the site has left organizers disheartened.

The weather system bringing snow and rain to much of the island is worrying officials at Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro. The utility released a statement last night, saying that despite the corporation's best efforts to manage water levels at Beothuk Lake in Central Newfoundland, flooding could happen in cabin areas in the coming days. The lake serves as a water reservoir for an NL Hydro power generation system. Fiona Humber is the mayor of the nearby community of Millertown.

Residents around Beothuk Lake in central Newfoundland are going to bat against Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, in hopes of protecting some of the last remnants of the extinct Beothuk culture. The lake has been a hydroelectric reservoir for over 100 years, with water levels controlled by NL Hydro.

Shanawdithit, the last-known of the Indigenous Beothuk people from Newfoundland, was only about 28 years old when she died in St. John's in 1829. Now, students at the College of the North Atlantic's Digital Filmmaking program in Stephenville are getting ready to tell her tragic story...and they want actors to help them do it. The film is called "The Last Beothuk." Auditions will begin soon, and filming will start in late May. Peter Buckle is an instructor with the program, and the CBC's David Newell reached him in Stephenville.

This week, Kate talks about Haliburton village's annual tradition of guessing what day winter's ice would finally disappear from Head Lake. But when did the tradition start? Plus, Paul talks about Newfoundland's Indigenous people - the Beothuk - and the sad disappearance of the Beothuks starting with the arrival of Europeans in the late 1400's. And the story of Shawnadithit who's been called the last Beothuk. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices.

Ron shared how his own DNA proves that the Beothuk people who were said to have gone extinct shortly after contact with European Explorer John Cabot. Ryan says otherwise and explains why he believes a plague came and wiped out the majority of the Beothuk before Cabot, and that their may have been another Christian culture yet to be mentioned here all along, one far more advanced than what is conventionally accepted. Vinland Maps, Chinese Pyramids, and many more artifacts and structures extant point to a different story and Ron has already faced suppression in the halls of academia, were he was told to kill himself for identifying as Beothuk, something he can prove with DNA.

After a brief confrontation with the natives of Umlaut's dreamland, the Norseman must once again face off against a cursed beast, this time against Nya Gwaheh, the Naked Bear. Once slain, they're free to settle in the land of plenty and live out the rest of their days raising families, harvesting grain, and assisting the Beothuk battle their adversaries. Will Thor and Umlaut indeed settle down or will the Norns compel them to return to their Viking ways?  

The story of two Beothuk, Demasduit and Nonasabasut has been retold often in recent years. That's largely due to the successful repatriation efforts that saw some of their remains returned to Canada from the National Museum of Scotland. Last week, the Town of Botwood unveiled plans to honour their memory. Jim Sceviour is the mayor.

The East Coast Trail is a 332 km end-to-end trail located on the east coast of *Newfoundland. It's made up of a chain of shorter trails, and can be section or thru-hiked.  Despite not passing over any mountains, the trail has a total elevation gain of almost 15,000 metres, owing in part to the fact that it passes through many towns, and many of those towns are at sea level. It's like a seaside rollercoaster. I'll be honest. This trail wasn't on my radar until a few listeners reached out to mention it, and the more I learn about it, the closer it moves to the top of my bucket list. Camping along the trail is free, and hikers do not need to buy any permits. Because it passes near many towns and villages, there are ample opportunities to resupply, take a rest day or bail, if things get too rough. Hikers are treated to dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the rocky Newfoundland Coast, sea arches and sea stacks and picturesque villages.  Ana McBride hiked the full trail this summer with her dog Winnie and a friend. On today's episode of Catch Me Outside, she shares the highs and lows of her hike (spoiler alert, there weren't many lows). She also shares some valuable information for anyone planning to check out the east coast trail.  *The East Coast Trail is situated on the traditional lands of the Algonquian speaking Beothuk peoples.  Like, rate, review and follow If you're enjoying the show, please rate, review and follow @catchmeoutsidepodcast on Instagram and TikTok and like the Catch Me Outside Podcast Facebook page.

An escape to Newfoundland led to a Tea Time conversation about the beauty of Canada's most eastern province, it's wonderful people in the present, and the loss of the Beothuk people of it's past. You can help us make more great podcasts by supporting our Patreon.

Throughout the years, the Beothuk people have been written about as an “extinct” nation, whose numbers were few at the time of European contact to Newfoundland. By 1828, they were all gone except one woman named Shanawdithit. She is now known as "the last Beothuk" but was she? In our final episode of the season, we look at one of the longstanding myths that Canada loves to tell itself — that Indigenous people are no longer here. With guest Yvette Nolan. For more about this episode visit us at : www.cbc.ca/radio/secretlifeofcanada

Turning the history of the Beothuk people on its head. We talk to Chief Mi'sel Joe and filmmaker Chris Aylward about a documentary screening here in St. John's tonight.

The provincially-run museum in Grand Falls-Windsor has been re-named the Demasduit Regional Museum. It previously used the name Mary March, the colonial version of the Beothuk woman's name, which was given to her by her captors. Misel Joe is the chief of the Miawpukek First Nation, and the CBC's Garrett Barry asked him what he thinks of the name change.

In which we look at how the now-extinct Beothuk population helped the creation of a distinct Newfoundland identity that actively rejected Canada. Other topics include painting, poetry, and the attempted entry of Newfoundland into Confederation in 1869. --- Contact: historiacanadiana@gmail.com, Twitter (@CanLitHistory) & Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CanLitHistory). --- Support: Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/historiacanadiana); Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/historiacanadiana); the recommended reading page (https://historiacanadiana.wordpress.com/books/) --- Sources/Further Reading: Fowke, Edith.

Robert Houle. In Memoriam, 1987. Oil, feathers, leather, ribbon on plywood, Overall (framed): 137.2 x 151.9 x 9 cm. Gift of Vanessa, Britney and Nelson Niedzielski, 2000. © Robert Houle 2000/1196 Two differently sized panels of painted plywood are assembled together in this artwork that includes indigenous community names, leather, ribbons and eagle feathers. On the left panel a thin horizontal decorative moulding architecturally crowns the top. Below the moulding, a piece of plywood is cut away in a curve that arcs from the upper right corner down past the left corner of the panel, creating the illusion of an arch. Painted black, the vertical brush strokes are visible on the entire panel. Multicoloured ribbons tied around eagle feathers flow down the centre, dividing the left and right panels of the artwork. Longer than the left panel, the right panel is a rich deep purple maroon. The following community names are stenciled onto the panel from top to bottom: Beothuk, Mohican, Natchez, Neutral, Timucua, Tobacco, Yamasee. The names are obscured by the brush strokes, making it hard to read them and alluding to the loss of these communities and a discourse around representation and naming outside of colonial narratives.

After a fumbled attempt earlier this year, the province is changing the name of Red Indian Lake, again. We hear from an indigenous woman who grew up on the lake.

Michelle Good's debut novel,"Five Little Indians" won the Governor General's Award, The Writers Trust Fiction Prize and the Amazon First Novel Award. It's an intimate, chilling and sometimes disturbing story about five residential school survivors. The interview was recorded live on stage at this summer's Writers at Woody Point Literary Festival in the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi'kmaq. *A warning that some may find the content of this program disturbing.

Tale: The Battle of Beaumont-Hamel On July 1st, 1916, 806 members of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went "over the top" as part of the battle of Beaumont-Hamel. In less than an hour, the regiment was devastated, most killed or wounded within the first 20 minutes of the battle. The next morning, only 68 soldiers answered the roll call.

New France only ever functioned because of the Native population. France designed New France to accommodate the Natives in order to obtain furs and keep out other colonial powers. In this episode we learn about the natives of the Saint Lawrence as they can be best represented before European contact. Focusing on the St.Lawrence Iroquois, The Innu, the Mi'kmaq and the lonely Beothuk located on Newfoundland beyond who will serve as a cautionary tale to the rest of the Natives of the Americas.

Yesterday we discussed Canada's history of Indigenous slavery and the extinction of the Beothuk pre-Confederation, and today we're talking about abuses against the natives post-Confederation.

The head of the province's school sports association says school teams will be doing things differently in the fall, a researcher explores how couples working from home are coping with the close quarters, a Memorial University researcher defends himself against accusations of ethical misconduct for his genetic research on the Beothuk, and we meet the 'Bird Whisperer of Twillingate.'

This day back in 1829 was widely considered to be the first day with no living survivors of the Beothuk. We spoke with Teresa Greene, of the Beothuk institute.

In a study published in journal Genome, Steven Carr, a biologist at Memorial University of Newfoundland, finds genetic continuity between Beothuk and modern persons, and says delayed research into possible Mi'kmaq-Beothuk overlap may fill gaps in our knowledge.

NL man anxiously seeks out COVID-19 test and another puts himself into quarantine. Also, Stephenville's mayor quashes rumours that the local airport is closing, and the Town of Botwood prepares to honour the Newfoundland Beothuk.

with our guest Chief Misel Joe.

Scottish museum sends skulls of Beothuk people back to NL, man whose employee died by suicide urges people to reach out to those with emotional struggles, airline pilot's photos from the air get plenty of props, and seniors columnist says stop the "old people" stereotypes!

In this episode we learn about the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows and the Beothuk people. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/littleamericanhistory/message

Oral history suggests a connection between ancient Beothuk and Mi'kmaq—so far there is no scientific proof, but that could change with the results of a genetic study commissioned by Miawpukwek First Nation. This week, we speak with Steve Carr of Terra Nova Genomics Inc. who was hired by Miawpukwek to do that very research.

For 40 years, researcher Don Pelley has been uncovering evidence of Beothuk life along the shores of the Exploits River and Red Indian Lake.

We're heading eastward this month, friends, talking cableknit sweaters and codfish dinners. As the non-vegetarian of the pair, Steph took on the cooking this month, coming out of a coddy ordeal with some very edible and nostalgic codballs. Torey may not cook, but she sure does knit, and she is HAPPY to talk about cables for as long as anyone will let her. What we're obsessed with in history Torey: Ravelry's recent no-Trump policy announcement, and the attending conversations around racism in knitting communities Steph: The Delineator on archive.org, and the wonderful Victorian outfit she's going to make!

Everyone was at a mining announcement in Glenwood last month except Qalipu—the band didn't even know it was happening. Is this another example in a pattern of neglect by the provincial government? Later, we hear from Millertown mayor Fiona Humber on efforts to bring back the remains of two Beothuk people to the lands from which they were stolen.

It's too soon to say whether Beothuk are really extinct, says Chief Misel Joe, and DNA research is still needed to show if there's a Mi'kmaq connection. Later in the show, Qalipu Mi’kmaq First Nation Band’s cultural resource co-ordinator, Nicole Travers, tells us about an ongoing project to expand an interactive map that centres traditional Mi'kmaq language with collected stories.

The remains of two Beothuk people, Demasduit and Nonosabasut, are to be returned to Newfoundland in the near future. But where is an appropriate resting place: a museum, or their traditional territory near the Exploits River? MP Scott Simms discusses the process of returning the remains and the complicated decisions still to be made.

As Chief Mi'sel Joe calls for further research into possible links to Mi'kmaq, DNA studies show the Beothuk were a distinct Indigenous group.

Shanawdithit, Newfoundland’s last surviving Beothuk aboriginal, dies. Hundreds of years before European settlers arrived, groups of aboriginals crossed the Strait of Belle Isle to live in what became Newfoundland. Known as Beothuk, they were the first indigenous people to meet European settlers in the 1500s, and archaeologists estimate they numbered between 500 and 1,000. The Beothuk tradition of painting their bodies with red ochre prompted settlers to call all aboriginals “reds.” As European settlers arrived in greater numbers and claimed land that the Beothuks used for hunting and fishing, conflict and white diseases – including tuberculosis and influenza – killed many Beothuks. In the 1800s, their survival was further threatened by conflict and intermarriage with the Mi’kmaqs, who traveled to Newfoundland from the mainland. In 1769, having noted the population’s devastation, Newfoundland authorities made killing a Beothuk a capital crime. But as Beothuk numbers continued to decline, authorities tried to capture them in hopes of saving them. One of the last captured was a woman named Shanawdithit. In 1823, her father had died from falling through ice while escaping a group of hunters. Shanawdithit, her sister and mother tried to escape capture, but the prospect of starvation eventually led them to surrender. Shanawdithit’s mother and sister died soon after their capture. Shanawdithit lived long enough to be moved to a home in St. John’s in 1828, and then into the home of Newfoundland’s Attorney General James Simms. But within a year, she contracted tuberculosis and died on June 6, 1829 in a hospital. Although other Beothuks may have survived, Shanawdithit’s death likely marked the extinction of her people. She was buried in St. John’s Church of England Cemetery. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of 80 Days: an exploration podcast, we return to the north of North America and explore Newfoundland, a Canadian island in the North Atlantic. At over 100,000 square kilometres (40,000 sq mi), Newfoundland is the world's 16th-largest island, and Cape Spear, just south of the capital, St Johns, is the easternmost point of North America, excluding Greenland. Newfoundland has long been a sparsely populated and harsh land, with residents traditionally relying heavily on fishing to survive. The area has a significant Gaelic heritage, with strong connections to Ireland and Britain. Modern-day Newfoundland has a population of just under half a million, and is the most populous part of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Your hosts are Luke Kelly @thelukejkelly in Hong Kong, Mark Boyle @markboyle86 in the UK, and Joe Byrne @anbeirneach in Switzerland. (Theme music by Thomas O’Boyle).

All of you."

Michael Crummey is a Newfoundland-born poet, short story writer and novelist. He is known for his historical fiction. His multi-award winning novel River Thieves depicts the relationship between European settlers and the last of the Beothuk indians in the early 19th Century. The Wreckage tells the story of a young Newfoundland soldier and his beloved during and after World War ll.  We talk about Michael's goal of taking the bare facts of historical events and making the people in those events feel real, maintaining a spine of fact, the impossibility of seeing inside what extinction felt like, conjecture, emotional authenticity, false assumptions, the honesty of fiction, and falsehood of factual 'truth,' respect for the reality of people's lives, fiction being best at capturing rich complex weave of lived experience, marketability; The Wreckage, evil, 9/11, boom times in Newfoundland during WWll, and finally, the mistaken expectation of  getting facts from historical novels.
