This article offers a brief summary of the history and activities of Gaelic organizations in Ontario in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines how Ontario Gaels thought about themselves as a distinct group, what particular people considered to be valuable or disposable aspects of their ethnicity, how they negotiated between their ancestral inheritance and the expectations of Angloconformity, and how contemporary values and events conditioned internal and external perceptions. It concludes that previous commentary about Scottish and Gaelic organizations in Ontario contrasts with the Gaelic texts produced by and about these groups.

安大略省 19 世纪和 20 世纪初的盖尔组织

本文简要概述了 19 世纪和 20 世纪初安大略省盖尔语组织的历史和活动。它考察了安大略盖尔人如何将自己视为一个独特的群体，特定的人认为他们种族的哪些方面是有价值的或可支配的，他们如何在他们的祖先遗产和盎格鲁统一的期望之间进行谈判，以及当代价值观和事件如何影响内部和外部看法。它得出的结论是，先前关于安大略省苏格兰和盖尔组织的评论与由这些群体产生的和关于这些群体的盖尔文本形成对比。
