| This history of Fort Chipewyan was included in the program for the day. Peter Fidler, who built Nottingham House on English Island in 1802 for the HBCo, was my great-great-great-great grandfather. He abandoned Nottingham House in 1806 after sustained aggression by the Northwest Company strong-man and thug Simon Black. Nottingham House was the focus of an archeological survey lasting from 1972 to 1977. |
The photos below were taken by Mike on that day. Unfortunately there are none of the buffalo meat barbecue feast or the entertainment.
