Book Tells Doukhobors’ Sto

Cultural Values Studied

A major study of the
Doukhobor people in Canada
has been published by the
Canadian National Museum of
Man,

The 400-page volume tells
the story of Doukhobor culture
and changes in tradition in
recent years through hundreds

, of brief excerpts from inter-

views,

Author Koozma J, Tarasoff
travelled throughout the west-
ern provinces to find material,
with the result that much of the
report's focus is on the Koote-
nay-Boundary region of B.C.
where so many Doukhobor
people settled.

The volume, completo with

isolates the 13 cultural values
considered most relevant to
Doukhobor tradition and exam-
ines them for persistence and
change," the report says.

“It is concluded that in
such areas as family life, cul-

Doukhobors of Tsarist Russia
burned their firearms in Trans-
caucasia (now south-western
USSR) as a collective procla-
mation to the world that wars
and militarism must end,
“Since then, the event has

and places, is available at all
libraries. It will be found in-
valuable in understanding
Doukhobor folkways as ex-
plained by the people them-

. selves,

The study is based entirely
on interviews, but there are

* briéf summaries of each chap-
‘ter that seek to chart the

changes, coming with time, to
each of the traditions under
scrutiny.

There are 18 “cultural
values”. dealt with by chapter.

‘They are as follows: Marriage‘

and Man-Woman Relationships;
Death and Burial Practices;
Singing Style, Music and Dra-
ma; Sobranie Gatherings and
Decision-Making; Clothing
Styles and Food and Eating
Habits. ;

Other chapters are Handi-
craft Activities; Work and Rec-
reation; Health and Healing;
Retirement; Bringing Up Chil-
dren; Russian L ge and

various rituals, customs and
styles in order to increase
respectability in the wider
Canadian society.”
In his introduction to the
work, author Tarasoff explains
’ why a chapter on ideology was
found necessary.
“Although ideology would
not usually be included in a
study of folkways, for the

been each ‘year
by Doukhobors as the most
expressive manifestation of
their’ early history."

The study closes with an
analysis of the most sensitive
Doukhobor subject; the three
sects and the friction between
at least two of them,

In all, the study of Dovk-
hobor history, tradition and
culture is invaluable both to
readers of Russian and non-
Russian descent.

the

ethical values of pacifism and
non-violence have such tena-
cious qualities that they greatly
affect other areas of expres-

deserves a place in the study.”

In the final pages of the
study, a chronology is provided
listing major events in the
Doukhobor history from 1780 to
1975, when a building owned by
the Union of Spiritual Com-
munities of Christ at Grand
Forks was destroyed in a
suspected arson fire.

Since then, after the study
was complete, a second major

In the summary of the
chapter on Doukhobor ideo-
logy, Tarasoff explains in a few
words the basis for much of this
people's thinking and peaceful
tradition,

“Doukhobors continue to
share a clear-cut position with
respect to the church and the
institution of militarism,” Tara-
soff writes,

“Early in their history,
they rejected the legiti of

common share, compared with
$16.6 million or $0.86 per share
for the first quarter in 1977.

Sales amounted to $192
million compared with $170
million last year.

The demand for gold and
lead continued strong in the
first quarter of 1978 at higher
prices than in the comparable
quarter of 1977. Demand for
silver and tin also was satis-
factory and this was reflected
in prices,

However, zine prices con-
tinued into 1978 at depressed
levels and were substantially
below those received during
the first quarter of 1977. The
zine plants operated below
capacity to maintain inven-
tories at acceptable levels with
an adverse effect on costs.

Fertilizer production was
higher than last year reflecting
increased capacity. Sales were
slow during the first quarter
due to weather conditions but
during April, sales have picked
up significantly. Prices gener-

The camp's success paved
the way for the signing of this

sarfuajor contract.

Selkirk was selected to set
up the program from a number
of B.C. and Alberta colleges
considered by the N.W.T. De-
partment of Education. The
decision was based on the
-availability of interested in-
structors with northern experi-
‘tince, demonstrated enthusiasm

da committment to practical

tdoor teaching,

+ The renewable. resources
program will. be two years in
length and will lead to a

techno-

courses at Selkirk and Leth
bridge community colleges and
will enroll in formal courses at
Ft. Smith this fall,

Such field-oriented subject
areas as applied statistics,
drafting and mapping, photo-
grammetry, geology, forestry
practices, surveying, fire sci-
ence, wildlife and fisheries
biology, water resource man-
agement, parks, first aid/sur-
vival and native land claims will
be covered in the program.

Holden, the project co-
ordinator, will move to Ft.
Smith for three years begin-
ning this month and Hunnisett
will live there for one year
commencing May, 1979. Both
instructors will be operating
field schools in Baffin Island,
Porter Lake and the McKenzie
Mts, for the next three years,

Some Selkirk personnel
who will assist periodically are
Leslie Anderton, doing geology
course development; Joan Sny-
der, teaching planned ecology;
John Adams, chairman of for.
estry, teaching fire control
survey; and John Peregrym,
acting dean of studies, who will
oversee the development of the

logy diploma, equivalent to
those offered by southern insti-
tutions but designed for north-
erners and taught in a northern
environment.

The students will be native
northern people who would
have financial difficulty or
cultural difficulties in acquiring
the training at southern Cana-
disn institutions. Last sum-

In three years’ time, the
program will be developed to
the point where it can be run
independently by the N.W.T.
