Julia L. Jamieson (1889–1975) was a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River in Canada.
Jamieson was born to Augustus Jamieson, a Cayuga teacher and member of the Six Nations School Board, and Emmeline Echo-Hill, a Mohawk and daughter of Chief Jacob Hill.[1] Julia Jamieson was a scholar, author, and teacher in the Six Nations School Board for many years.[2] She was a founding member of the Six Nations Teacher's Organization[3] and President of the local Baptist Young People's Union.[4] By 1966 she had retired.[5]
Books authored by Jamieson include Echoes of the Past: A History of Education from the time of the Six Nations Settlement on the Banks of the Grand River in 1784 to 1924, and a history of the Six Nations Agricultural Society. She worked to preserve the Mohawk language, writing in the late 1950s a four-volume set of textbooks titled The Mohawk Language;[6] the Jamieson orthography, one of several writing systems for the language, is based on a system used by 18th-century missionaries.[7] She was also involved with the Six Nations Reserve Forest Theatre including a production based on the life of Pauline Johnson. She also created a museum dedicated to Pauline Johnson.[1]
Her commitment to education was honoured by the naming of Jamieson Elementary School in Ohsweken after her and her three siblings, all teachers.[8]
