Two Stories

By Duncan Campbell Scott

August 1862 in Ottawa, ON; died 19 December 1947 in Ottawa, ON). Scott's complicated legacy encompasses both his work as an acclaimed poet and his role as a controversial public servant. Considered one of the "poets of the Confederation" - a group of English-language poets whose work laid the foundations for a tradition of Canadian poetry - his intense works made use of precise imagery and transitioned smoothly between traditional and modern styles. However, his literary work has arguably been overshadowed by his role as the deputy superintendent of the Department of Indian Affairs. He enforced and expanded residential schools, failed to respond to a tuberculosis epidemic and oversaw a treaty process that many claim robbed Indigenous peoples of land and rights.
