This paper aims at analyzing new historical elements related with the forming process of domestic rituals that mediates the continuity between European culture and New World conditions more than with postcolonial perspectives. Cather renders Quebec city and its Auclair’s home as the cultural inheritances and the domestic rituals of the French customs and traditions meeting the physicality of the settlement of New World. Cěcile has been the medium for the rules of French bourgeois household to which Madame Auclair taught her. Thus her memory and beliefs are preserved as the culture’s rituals continue, perpetuated in Cěcile’s housekeeping. Also, Charron represents the archetypal mediator of Old World and New World to lead Cěcile to Canadian nature, and to provide a safe place where this housekeeping woman can ritualistically form a stability and a continuity as both her protector and her husband. Accordingly this paper deals with new historic elements of domestic rituals to challenge the uniform postcolonial perspectives and the conventional boundaries concerning ethnicity, gender, and class. It approaches the true historicity of the little narratives that Old World culture slowly transforms itself into New World phenomenon, as Cěcile and Charron become mother and father to the Canadians of the future.
