One of the Family

Metis Culture in Nineteenth-Century Northwestern Saskatchewan Brenda Macdougall In One of the Family Brenda Macdougall draws on diverse written and oral sources and employs the concept of wahkootowin – the Cree term for a worldview that privileges family and values relatedness between all beings – to trace the emergence of a distinct Metis community at Île-à-laCrosse in northern Saskatchewan. This path-breaking study showcases how one Metis community created a distinct identity rooted in Aboriginal values about family and shaped by the fur trade and the Roman Catholic Church. It also offers a model for future research and discussion that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the fur trade or Metis culture and identity.

Urbanizing Frontiers

Indigenous Peoples and Settlers in 19thCentury Pacific Rim Cities Penelope Edmonds This book makes an original and highly important contribution to the specific historiographies of Canada and Australia, as well as the broader literatures on colonialism, urban development, and race ...

Colonial Proximities

Crossracial Encounters and Juridical Truths in British Columbia, 1871-1921 Renisa Mawani This book offers fascinating new perspectives on the roots of Canadian racism. Moving beyond traditional narratives of Aboriginal-European contact and Chinese-European relations, Renisa Mawani probes the unsettled landscape of crossracial encounters between ‘Indians’ and ‘Chinese’ in British Columbia history. She deftly captures the frenzied anxieties that whites harboured over ungovernable mixed-race activities, and brilliantly dissects the renewed state racisms that were born of such encounters. – Adele Perry, Canada Research Chair in Western Canadian Social History, University of Manitoba, and author of On the Edge of Empire

Renisa Mawani is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of British Columbia.

Renisa Mawani is a rigorous researcher, a sharp analyst, and a wide-ranging thinker. This is a powerful piece of work, and scholars of colonialism and race making in British Columbia and settler colonies more generally will benefit from it. – Constance Backhouse, Distinguished University Professor and University Research Chair, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa

Makúk

A New History of Aboriginal-White Relations John Sutton Lutz Selected, Outstanding Academic Title, CHOICE John Lutz traces Aboriginal People’s involvement in the new economy, and their displacement from it, from the arrival of the first Europeans to the 1970s. Drawing on an extensive array of oral histories, manuscripts, newspaper accounts, biographies, and statistical analysis, Lutz shows that Aboriginal people flocked to the workforce and prospered in the late nineteenth century. He argues that the roots of today’s widespread unemployment and “welfare dependency” date only from the 1950s, when deliberate and inadvertent policy choices – what Lutz terms the “white problem” drove Aboriginal People out of the capitalist, wage, and subsistence economies, offering them welfare as “compensation.”

Landing Native Fisheries

Indian Reserves and Fishing Rights in British Columbia, 1849-1925 Douglas C. Harris Landing Native Fisheries reveals the contradictions and consequences of an Indian land policy premised on access to fish, on one hand, and a program of fisheries management intended to open the resource to newcomers, on the other. Beginning with the first treaties signed on Vancouver Island between 1850 and 1854, Douglas Harris maps the connections between the colonial land policy and the law governing the fisheries. In so doing, Harris rewrites the history of colonial dispossession in British Columbia, offering a new and nuanced examination of the role of law in the consolidation of power within the colonial state.

Lament for a First Nation

The Williams Treaties of Southern Ontario Peggy Blair Peggy J. Blair, a lawyer specializing in aboriginal law, has produced an important study of the historical context surrounding both the treaties and what she sees as a misguided response by the Canadian courts. - Greg Marquis, University of New Brunswick, Law and Politics Book Review, Vol. 18, No.11, November 2008 This book should prove a supportive work for trial lawyers working in the land claim field. - Ronald F. MacIsaac, The Barrister, Issue No.89, September 2008 In a 1994 decision known as Howard, the Supreme Court of Canada held that the Aboriginal signatories to the 1923 Williams Treaties had knowingly given up not only their title to off-reserve lands but also their treaty rights to hunt and fish for food. Peggy J. Blair is one of Canada’s leading lawyers in the field of Aboriginal law. 2008 268 pages, 6 x 9” 978-0-7748-1512-3 HC $85.00 978-0-7748-1513-0 PB $32.95 Law and Society Series

Peggy J. Blair gives the Howard decision considerable context. She examines federal and provincial bickering over “special rights” for Aboriginal peoples and notes how Crown policies toward Indian rights changed as settlement pressures increased. Blair argues that the Canadian courts caused a serious injustice by applying erroneous cultural assumptions in their interpretation of the evidence. In particular, they confused provincial government policy, which has historically favoured public over special rights, with the understanding of the parties at the time. Blair demonstrates that when American courts applied the same legal principles as their Canadian counterparts to a case involving similar facts, they reached the opposite conclusion.

Home Is the Hunter

The James Bay Cree and Their Land Hans M. Carlson Carlson does more than write the Cree into our narrative; he pens a Cree-centered narrative that writes newcomers into it, and it is this aspect of Carlson’s book that is the most compelling ... Home Is the Hunter is an excellent study of human and environmental relationships. ... Anyone with a minimal understanding of this place and these people should read this book, if only to see where their narratives fit in with others and to gain a greater appreciation for the history of the Cree and for the potential dangers to which we all contribute by pulling resources from the periphery while at the same time imposing our outsider understandings over local ones. – Jonathan Clapperton, University of Saskatchewan

Hunters at the Margin

Native People and Wildlife Conservation in the Northwest Territories John Sandlos Winner, 2008 Clio Award for the North, Canadian Historical Association Winner, 2008 Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Award, Forest History Society As John Sadlos’s book shows, nothing in environmental politics is ever simple ... What began as an attempt to preserve a species inevitably took on the coloration of a social experiment. The book is full of nuggets of interesting information. - William R. Morrison, Environmental History Journal, Vol. 12, N0. 4, October 2007

This hefty text is a well-written and meticulously researched academic work. Sandlos provides eloquent and exquisite details of the relationship between human and animal ... It is certain to be of interest to readers keen to better understand the politics of northern conservation in Canada, and the conflict between Northern indigenous communities and Southern policy makers. - Ben Laurie, Alternatives, Vol.34, No.2, 2008 Hunters at the Margin is well written, well produced, and a valuable contribution to the ongoing evaluation of the meanings of the North for those who live there, those who are new arrivals, and those for whom it looms large in imagination and expectation. - Henry P.

National Visions, National Blindness Canadian Art and Identities in the 1920s Leslie Dawn Winner, 2008 Raymond Klibanksy Prize, Aid to Scholarly Publications Programme (ASPP) If Fred Housser’s A Canadian Art Movement was the most influential Canadian art book of the 20th century, then National Visions, National Blindness is the 21st century’s equivalent. Vast and complex in conception, Dawn’s work embodies primary research of national significance and shows the real foundations of Canadian art. – Nancy Townshend, Alberta Views, May 2008

Leslie Dawn is an associate professor in the Department of Art at the University of Lethbridge. 2006 456 pages, 6 x 9” 978-0-7748-1217-7 pb $85.00 978-0-7748-1218-4 pb $34.95

This is a significant book that seeks to revise (and, in so doing, renders problematic) long-standing conventions relating to the landscapes of the Group of Seven and the construction of a modern Canadian national identity in the early twentieth century. Dawn boldly brings out the inconsistencies and contradictions at the heart of the new pictorial identity and, in particular, the inherent paradox in promoting landscapes empty of all people. The book is well documented and offers fascinating insight into the role of institutions and individuals, and the role of individuals within institutions, as Canada sought to formulate and assert its specificity. Elegantly written and a pleasure to read, it will be of real interest to a wide variety of readers. – Christopher Rolfe, University of Leicester, British Journal of Canadian Studies, Vol. 21.2, Autumn 2008 Table of Contents Acknowledgments Introduction 1 Canadian Art in England 2 England in Canadian Art 3 Canadian Art in Paris 4 Canadian Primitives in Paris 5 Barbeau and Kihn with the Stoney in Alberta 6 Barbeau and Kihn with the Gitxsan in British Columbia 7 Giving Gitxsan Totem Poles a New Slant 8 Representing and Repossessing the Skeena Valley 9 West Coast Art, Native and Modern 10 The Downfall of Barbeau 11 Revisiting Carr Conclusion Notes; Bibliography; Illustration; Credits; Index

Becoming Native in a Foreign Land Sport, Visual Culture, and Identity in Montreal, 1840-85 Gillian Poulter This book, both innovative and provocative, will have a significant impact on our understanding of the relationship between sport and national identity construction in Canada. It not only will add to the scholarly debate in the field, it will help shape and direct such debate in the future. – Colin D. Howell, author of Blood, Sweat, and Cheers: Sport and the Making of Modern Canada

Gillian Poulter is an associate professor of Canadian history at Acadia University. May 2009 390 pages, 6 x 9” 978-0-7748-1441-6 hc $85.00 978-0-7748-1442-3 PB $32.95 (PB, January 2010)

How did British colonists in Victorian Montreal come to think of themselves as “native Canadian”? This incisive, richly illustrated work reveals that colonists adopted Aboriginal and French Canadian activities – hunting, lacrosse, snowshoeing, and tobogganing – and appropriated them by imposing British ideologies of order, discipline, and fair play. In the process, they constructed national attributes, or visual icons, that were recognized at home and abroad as distinctly “Canadian.” The new Canadian nationality mimicked indigenous characteristics but, ultimately, rejected indigenous players, and championed the interests of white, middle-class, Protestant males who used their newly acquired identity to dominate the political realm. Becoming Native in a Foreign Land demonstrates that English Canadian identity was not formed solely by emulating what was British, it gained enormous ground by usurping what was indigenous in the fertile landscape of a foreign land. It will appeal to scholars and enthusiasts of Canadian history, identity, and culture.

Writing British Columbia History, 1784–1958 Chad Reimer This book homes in on the elisions and evasions that are at the core of some of the central problems facing British Columbian society today. -Coll Thrush, professor, Department of History, UBC Captain James Cook first made contact with the area now known as British Columbia in 1778. The colonists who followed soon realized they needed a written history, both to justify their dispossession of Aboriginal peoples and to formulate an identity for a new settler society.

Chad Reimer received his PhD in history from York University and works as an independent historian and author in Chilliwack, BC. August 2009 224 pages, 6 x 9” 978-0-7748-1644-1 hc $85.00 978-0-7748-1645-8 PB $29.95 (PB, July 2010)

Writing British Columbia History traces how Euro-Canadian historians took up this task, and struggled with the newness of colonial society and overlapping ties to the British Empire, the United States, and Canada. This exploration of the role of history writing in colonialism and nation building will appeal to anyone interested in the history of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, and history writing in Canada.

Becoming British Columbia A Population History John Douglas Belshaw

Becoming British Columbia is the first comprehensive demographic history of the province. Investigating critical moments in the demographic record and linking demographic patterns to larger social and political questions, it shows how biology, politics, and history conspire with sex, death, and migration to create a particular kind of society. John Belshaw overturns the widespread tendency to associate population growth with progress by examining how the province’s Aboriginal population of as much as half a million was reduced by disease to fewer than 30,000 people in less than a century. He reveals that the province has a long tradition of thinking and acting vigorously in ways meant to control and shape biological communities of humans, and suggests that imperialism, race, class, and gender have historically situated population issues at the centre of public consciousness in British Columbia. John Douglas Belshaw, formerly professor of history at Thompson Rivers University, is now Associate Vice-President of Education at North Island College, Vancouver Island.

Braiding Histories

Learning from Aboriginal Peoples’ Experiences and Perspectives Susan D. Dion This book proposes a new pedagogy for addressing Aboriginal subject material, shifting the focus from an essentializing or “othering” exploration of the attributes of Aboriginal peoples to a focus on historical experiences that inform our understanding of contemporary relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples. Reflecting on the process of writing a series of stories, Dion takes up questions of (re)presenting the lived experiences of Aboriginal people in the service of pedagogy. Investigating what happened when the stories were taken up in history classrooms, she illustrates how our investments in particular identities structure how we hear and what we are “willing to know.”

Making Wawa

The Genesis of Chinook Jargon George Lang A two-edged sword of reconciliation and betrayal, Chinook Jargon (aka Wawa) arose at the interface of “Indian” and “White” societies in the Pacific Northwest. Wawa’s sources lie first in the language of the Chinookans who lived along the lower Columbia River, but also with the Nootkans of the outer coast of Vancouver Island. With the arrival of the fur trade, the French of the engagés or voyageurs provided additional vocabulary and a set of viable cultural practices, a key element of which was marital bonding with Indian and métisse women. These women and their children were the first fluent speakers of Wawa.

George Lang is Dean of Arts at the University of Ottawa and president of the Association des facultés et établissements de lettres et de sciences humaines (AFELSH). 2008 216 pages, 6 x 9” 978-0-7748-1526-0 hc $85.00 978-0-7748-1527-7 pb $29.95 First Nations Languages

After several decades of contact, ensuing epidemics brought demographic collapse to the Chinookans. Within another decade the region was radically transformed by the Oregon Trail. Wawa had acquired its present shape, but lost its homeland. It became a diaspora language in which many communities seek some trace of their past. A previously unpublished glossary of Wawa circa 1825 is included as an appendix to this volume. Making Wawa will attract the attention of linguists, especially those involved in contact linguistics and the languages of the Pacific Northwest. It will also interest historians and other scholars interested in Native and gender studies, cross-cultural conflict, and transculturation. Table of Contents Acknowledgments A Note on Orthography Introduction 1 The Nootka Jargon 2 Pidgin Chinook 3 Approximations at Astoria 4 The Hothouse of Fort Vancouver 5 Waves of Wawa Conclusion Appendix – Manuscript 195: A partially Annotated Early Glossary of Chinook Jargon Chronology; Notes; References; Index

Settlers on the Edge

Identity and Modernization on Russia’s Arctic Frontier Niobe Thompson Settlers on the Edge: Identity and Modernization on Russia’s Arctic Frontier is a description of the political, social and psychological factors that accompanied this revolution. It is also a fascinating historical account of Soviet society, and of the chaos of the 1990s resulting from the collapse of Soviet power, as seen from the most remote region of the Soviet Union ... This is an important story telling how a contemporary people dealt with events beyond their experience and control. – Robert McGhee, Literary Review of Canada, Vol.16, No.10, December 2008

Deeply researched and eloquently written, Settlers on the Edge shines light onto hitherto unexplored territory in the literature of the Arctic, namely the tortured birth and mercurial fortunes of Russia’s large arctic settler population. Thompson reveals how the orphan children of a grand Soviet project to “civilize” the North wrought from their post-Soviet misfortunes a new sense of themselves. The picture that emerges – of a people of the arctic landscape – makes an important and long-overdue contribution to our understanding of who belongs in the North. – Farley Mowat Table of Contents Illustrations; Preface; Acknowledgments 1 Introduction Part 1: The Soviet Years, 1955-91 2 Northern Settlement and the Late-Soviet State 3 Arctic Idyll: Living in Soviet Chukotka Part 2: Transition to Crisis, 1991-2000 4 Idyll Destroyed 5 Surviving without the State Part 3: Reconstruction, 2001-5 6 Modernization Again: The State Returns 7 Two Solitudes 8 Conclusion: Practices of Belonging 9 Afterword Appendix 1: List of Informants Appendix 2: Glossary of Russian Terms Notes; References; Index

Archibald’s research studies how people, including herself, live with their stories; moreover, how people can live well with their stories ... Here, stories are not material for analysis; they are not folklore with its implication of museum culture, and they are certainly not ‘data.’ Stories take on their own life and become teachers .... In her spiraling, iterative style, Archibald gets as close as any book I have found to a truly narrative pedagogy, as opposed to a pedagogy of narrative. - Arthur W.

A Grammatical Analysis of St’át’imc Oral Narratives

The Lillooet Language

Phonology, Morphology, Syntax Jan Van Eijk

Edited by Lisa Matthewson Collected in this book are the personal life histories of four female St’át’imc elders. Theyr are among the last remaining fluent speakers of St’át’imcets, a severely imperilled Northern Interior Salish language, also known as Lillooet and spoken in the southwest interior of British Columbia. Their stories are presented in the original St’át’imcets as well as in English translation. These texts are among the longest oral narratives of the Salish language to be grammatically analyzed. They provide first-hand accounts of what it was like to be a female child growing up in the 1930s and ‘40s both within St’át’imc communities and in residential schools. Important historical information is woven into the stories – about events in the Lillooet area, the traditional St’át’imc way of life, and the consequences of contact with Western culture. Table of Contents Acknowledgments 1 Introduction Overview and goals; The St’át’imc; The storytellers; The St’át’imc language; Methodology Orthographical issues; Morphological issues; Use of English in the stories;Idiolectal variations; Related literature 2 Beverley Frank’s story 3 Gertrude Ned’s story 4 Laura Thevarge’s story 5 Rose Agnes Whitley’s story Notes; References; Index

... does an excellent job of describing Lillooet grammar in a compact, informative, and intelligible manner; it should be read by anyone with an interest in the languages of northwestern North America, and is also well worth perusal by linguists specializing in other areas .... this attractive and well-produced volume is a valuable addition to the literature on Salish languages. – Anthropological Linguistics This book is the first complete descriptive grammar of Lillooet, an indigenous Canadian language spoken in British Columbia, now threatened with extinction. The author discusses three major aspects of the language – sound system, word structure, and syntax – in great detail. Jan Van Eijk explains terms and procedures in order to make the book accessible not only to the advanced linguist, but also to the undergraduate student with basic linguistic training. Written with great clarity, and well organized, the book is illustrated with copious examples drawn from many years of fieldwork in St’át’imc territory.

Gabrielle Slowey Ailsa Henderson’s Nunavut: Rethinking Political Culture is an exemplary work asking the question of how well a population with set attitudes and behaviours copes with having institutions foisted upon them over a short period of time ... For those interested in the political life of Canada’s Arctic population, decentralisation, and the interconnectedness of institutional design and political behavior, Ailsa Henderson’s Nunavut: Rethinking Political Culture is a worthy addition to the bookshelf. - Thomas J. Scotto, British Journal of Canadian Studies 21, Autumn 2008 Table of Contents Tables and Illustrations; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations 1 Introduction 2 Politics in Nunavut 3 Inuit Political Culture 4 Political Integration in the Eastern Arctic 5 Institutional Design in the Eastern Arctic 6 Consensus Politics 7 Political Participation in Nunavut 8 Ideological Diversity in Nunavut 9 Transforming Political Culture in Nunavut 10 Cultural Pluralism and Political Culture Appendix; Notes; References; Index

Ms. Slowey presents a highly thought-provoking treatise on the development of self governance for First Nations peoples and it will certainly be a useful resource for all aboriginals in their search for a desirable and workable solution to their demand for justice. Lawyers working through the land claims process towards indigenous governance will find this to be a valuable text. - Ronald F. MacIsaac, Verdict 118, September 2008 What happens to a First Nation after the successful negotiation of a land claim? In Navigating Neoliberalism, Gabrielle Slowey argues that neoliberalism, which drives government policy concerning First Nations in Canada, can also drive self-determination. And in a globalizing world, new opportunities for indigenous governance may transform socioeconomic well-being.

Kiumajut (Talking Back)

At the Far Reaches of Empire

Peter Kulchyski and Frank James Tester

Freeman M. Tovell

Kulchyski and Tester offer a welcome re-analysis of the events and consequences surrounding Canadian policy and practice with regard to Inuit, particularly through the mechanism of game management. The book should stimulate discussion, reaction, and further research and interpretation of crucial events in Canadian and Arctic history ... They have taken on a vast swath of northern history, immersed themselves in the available material, and emerged with a compelling account of how relations between a modern state and a hunting society were bungled with lasting consequences. - Henry P. Huntington, Arctic, March 2008

This new study by Freeman Tovell, by reason of its broad coverage, meticulous research, and balanced approach, will become an indispensable tool for any scholar interested in this topic ... Taken as a whole, Freeman Tovell’s work is a notable addition to the history of British Columbia. - Roderick J. Barman, BC Studies

• • • •

The First Nations of British Columbia, 2nd edition, is a concise and accessible overview of First Nations peoples, cultures, and issues in the province. This revised edition: • Updates names, suggested readings, maps, and photographs Explains the current treaty negotiation process Provides highlights of agreements between First Nations and governments up to the present Details past and present government policies Identifies the territories of major groups in the province Gives information on populations, reserves, bands, and language groups Summarizes archaeological, ethnographic, historical, legal, and political issues.

Table of Contents Maps and Illustrations Preface to the First Edition; Preface to the Second Edition Part 1: First Nations Defined Part 2: Archaeology and First Peoples Part 3: Ethnology and Traditional Lifeways Part 4: First Nations in Recent and Contemporary Times Appendices 1 The First Nations of British Columbia 2 Major Ethnic Groups 3 Excerpts from the Royal Proclamation, 1763 4 Excerpts from the Laurier Memorial, 1910 5 Highlights from the Nisga’a Final Agreement 6 First Nations Involved in Treaty Negotiations, 2006

In about 1800, fur trader Charles Ermatinger married an Obijwa woman, Mananowe. Their three sons grew up with both their mother’s hunter/ warrior culture and their father’s European culture. As adults, they lived adventurously in Montreal and St Thomas, where they were accepted and loved by fellow citizens while publicly retaining their Ojibwa heritage. The Ermatingers is an exciting story that contributes to our understanding of Indian and European biculturalism and its effects on those who make up the various forms of Métis society today.
