A leader of a religious movement amongst the
Cree,
He encouraged many to stop hunting fur
The fur traders really didn't like this fact,
And he was vaguely accused of a mur-
-Der.
He was killed before trial, and information on what he was supposed to have done is vague. Well, that's one way to keep the economy going. Or maybe he was guilty. Who knows?
Set up by the Victorian-minded and rather strait-laced administrators at the British Museum, the Private Case was the place they stashed the erotica and pornography to keep it away from the lascivious eyes of the hoi polloi. The BM denied its existence to the public and didn't list the works on the main public catalogue until the early twentieth century. As social mores changed in the 1960s, the museum began to liberalise their approach, and the collection is now entirely open access. From being a hidden dirty secret, it is now considered a superb resource to study the attitudes held by previous generations on sexuality, gender, etc.
