A Woman on the Franklin Expedition (well, almost, sorta)

At Active History, Sara Wilmshurst tracks the story of Judith Dejarlais (Cardinal, Hope) a Métis woman who in 1900 reported that she had gone north with Dr John Rae on his expedition to seek Franklin Expedition survivors. It's a nice piece of research on another corner of that endless Franklin Expedition story. She writes:

Nearly every time I review archival documents, I bump into a story that I’m desperate to pursue, but it is not relevant to the project at hand. This time I decided to just do it.

Know the feeling! 

Meanwhile at Shekon Neechie, Mary Jane Logan Macallum has posted (some time ago, actually) a long and useful bibliography on mostly online pieces that mark "moments of convergence for Indigenous History, Historians and History Departments especially in the years 2020-2022."
