Administrative History/Biographical Sketch Dr. Peter Stanley Schmalz resides in Walkerton, Ontario.

His education includes the following: 1962 Bachelor of Arts, University of Western Ontario

1962 Secondary School Teacher’s Certificate 1972 Master of Arts Degree, University of Waterloo

1985 Doctor of Philosophy Degree from the University of Waterloo.

Dr. Schmalz taught for five years at John F. Ross C.V.I., Guelph (1962-1967). In 1967, he began teaching at Walkerton District Secondary

School. He became the Head of the History & Contemporary Studies Department at the school, a position from which he retired in or around

1995. In addition to his daily teaching job, Schmalz taught summer courses at Queen’s University in Kingston, and night courses for Georgian

Collage and the University of Waterloo. He also developed and taught a course called “Man in Society” for the Ontario Ministry of Education,

Correspondence Division.

From 1991 – 1992, he was seconded by the Bruce County Board of

Education, through a grant from Employment and Immigration Canada, to develop a native Co-operative Education Pilot Project with two

reserves for the Bruce County Board of Education.

In 1993, Dr. Schmalz received the 1993 Hilroy Fellowship for Innovations in Education award for a computer role-playing simulation which

develops non-Native empathy for the century-long Native experiences on reserves.

Dr. Schmalz has researched local native land claims and issues

extensively. In the 1990s and 2000s, Dr. Schmalz was hired to create reports for the Ministry of Natural Resources, First Nations communities,

the provincial government and federal government.


Fonds Description

In addition to various published articles and book reviews, his works

include the following books: The Ojibwa, Toronto: Umbrella Press, 1995

The Ojibwa of Southern Ontario, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1991

The County Town Question, Wiarton: The Walkerton Historical Society, 1982

The Impact of the Great Depression on Walkerton, Wiarton: The Walkerton Historical Society, 1982

The History of the Saugeen Indians, Ottawa: The Ontario Historical Society, Research Publication No. 5, 1977

Dr. Schmalz was “honourably mentioned” by The Canadian Historical

Association in 1991 in relation to his book, The Ojibwa of Southern

Ontario, which also won the 1993 Joseph Brant Award, given by The Ontario Historical Society, as “the best book dealing with Ontario’s

multicultural history published in a three-year period.”

Scope and Content This fonds reflects Dr. Peter S. Schmalz’s career as an educator,

researcher and author from the late 1960s to early 2000s. He used these resources in the creation of a Master's Thesis, a Doctoral Thesis,

numerous learned articles, several books, and reports for the Ministry of Natural Resources, First Nations communities, the provincial government

and federal government. The focus of his research and writing concerned First Nations as well as Town of Walkerton history.

This fonds includes over 700 published books (not including duplicates)

which reflect Dr. Schmalz's primary interest in aboriginal contact with

Europeans.

The fonds also consists of documents related to the history of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation Territory (Saugeen First Nation and Chippewas

of Nawash Unceded First Nation) which reflect the communications and relationship between the First Nations and the Imperial and Canadian

governments. These documents consist of photocopied records, many of which were copied from microfilm held by the National Archives of

Canada, including material from NAC's reference number RG 10 (parts of the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development fonds).

Records also include microform, brochures, audiotapes and videotapes, newspapers and clippings, magazines and research cards.

Material in the fonds also reflects the history and experience of First

Nations across North America.


Fonds Description

The material further reflects Dr. Schmalz’s leadership in education,

particularly as it relates to both the education of First Nation students and the education of others about the history of First Nations. Records

relate to a co-operative education project, field archaeology and native studies summer course, as well as curriculum created by Peter Schmalz

and other education resources.

Dr. Schmalz’s work, activities and interests are also reflected through his correspondence, publications, theses, and essays.

Finally, the fonds consists of articles, maps and original records reflecting

Dr. Schmalz’s interest and research concerning the history of the Town of Walkerton and other regional history resources.

Extent 26 m of textual records (Approximately 700 books (not including duplicates))

Scope and Content

This series consists of approximately 700 published books collected by

Dr. Peter S. Schmalz, over a thirty-five year period. This research library was created to serve the purpose of researching and writing

history related mainly to the First Nations of Bruce County. Since Dr.

Schmalz was isolated from a major library, it was much more economical to buy the books, microfilm and other resources. Having his own library

was rewarding in that it permitted him to research and write a Masters Thesis, a Doctoral Thesis, numerous learned articles, several books, and

reports for the Ministry of Natural Resources, First Nations communities, the provincial government and federal government.

The library reflects his primary interest in aboriginal contact with

Europeans. Almost all of the travel, war, and missionary books, microfilm, audio tapes, etc., in some way enlighten the reader on the

complexity of this contact. Many are written by the indigenous peoples. While North American Native books form the foundation of this

collection, there are other fields of interest reflected as well. Dr. Schmalz notes that none of these books was purchased by an

'antiquarian' whose sole purpose was to acquire a 'rare book collection'.

This was a working library.

This series consists of the following Archival Files:

F1 Books about books F2 North American Native books

F3 Canadian Indian archaeology books F4 Canadiana books

F5 Non-Canadian books F6 Local history books

F7 Black studies books F8 Music books and sheet music

Scope and Content This file consists of correspondence, grant application, notes, reports,

of Education's Native Co-operative Education Project.

For the 1991/1992 school year, Peter Schmalz was seconded by the Bruce County Board of Education from his headship position at Walkerton

Secondary School to develop a "native-centered" high school program, including a specialized co-operative education program for First Nation

students. The overall project goal was identified as creating "a meaningful educational experience that will retain Native students within

the Bruce County schools so that they are prepared for productive employment after graduation."

A grant from the Ministry of Employment & Immigration Canada

supported the creation of a unique curriculum package and experiential learning opportunities for native students. In addition to the related

work experience component, three courses at the advanced, general and

basic senior levels were developed: Entrepreneurs (producing businesses on the reserves), Native Studies (the history, economics and politics of

the two reserve communities and the Ojibwa in general) and Native Literature (mainly Ojibwa writers).

Scope and Content

File 4 of Series 4 (Education) consists of documents and photographs related to a summer Native Studies and Archaeology field course directed

by Dr. Peter S. Schmalz and archaeologist Jim Molnar in 1987 and 1989. It was operated through the Bruce County Board of Education with the

Ministry of Culture and Communications providing money for the archaeological staff and supplies. A University of Albany, SUNLY

Benevolent Foundation grant covered the faunal analysis.

Approximately 24 grade 12 / 13 students were accepted into the three-week course each year. The course involved academic pursuits in the

morning, afternoon and evening, with weekends off. Students participated in an archaeological dig at the "Boat Lake Site" and "Mason

Site" at the base of the Bruce Peninsula on land owned by the Bruce County Board of Education for its Outdoor Education Centre. During the

course, students learned about archaeology, native material culture in

Pre-Columbian times, the full chronology of the native experience, and the history of the Ojibwa of Southern Ontario from pre-contact o present.

Students also participated in a case study of the Saugeen Indians, including culture, wars with Iroquois, land surrenders, reserve politics,

reserve economics, religion, literature and art. This included a trip to Cape Croker Reserve where they heard band councillors and

administrators discuss contemporary native issues. Students were tested throughout the programme with essays, reports, seminars, tests

and an archaeological diary.

The field course required students to fulfill the requirements for a Grade 12 History Credit under the People of Native Ancestry course guidelines

published by the Ministry of Education of Ontario (1981).

Series 4, File 6 Reservation: a role-playing simulation game

Dates 1991-1993

Extent 3 cm of textual records. -- 2 computer disks : MF2DD ; 9.5 x 9 cm

Scope and Content

File 6 of Series 4 (Education) consists of material related to

"Reservation", a role-playing simulation game. Reservation was first created as an educational board game by Dr. Peter S. Schmalz in or

around 1975. It was revised over the years, through student testing, so that grades seven through twelve benefitted from it. In 1991, the board-

card format was converted into a computer game by Peter Schmalz's son, James Schmalz, while in grade 12, who later went into the computer

games business as Digital Extremes in London, Ontario.

The contents of the game are based on information contained within the book "The History of the Saugeen Indians" by Peter S. Schmalz (Ottawa,

The Ontario Historical Society, 1977.)

The educational software brochure describes the game as: "Reservation places you in a community which constantly faces crucial social, political

and economic decisions of a material and moral nature. In a realistic

environment, you will play a role in determining not only your destiny but the destiny of your community.”

In a 1993 article in Rapport, Dr. Schmalz indicated: "After experiencing

this simulation, students have a much better understanding of the background leading to the First Nations' current demands for self-

government. They also have a greater appreciation for the need of political involvement at the individual, local and federal levels. Moreover,

they see more clearly the inter-relationships among politics, economics and morality in our society."

"Reservation" won the Hilroy Fellowship Award for excellence in Teaching

in 1993.

1961 in the Supreme Court of Ontario at Walkerton in front of the Honourable Mr. Justice W.D. Parker. Arthur Kendall was convicted capital

murder based chiefly on the evidence of the three eldest children. The

conviction was appealed to the Court of Appeal and then the Supreme Court of Canada who dismissed the appeal in 1962. The appeal was based

on the fact that the evidence given by the children in trial differed from the information they provided police in 1952. Arthur Kendall’s execution
