Book Description
Beginning with the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670, the fur trade dominated the development of the Canadian west. Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries. The author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these "many tender ties," there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture.

Book Description
Six-five years have elapsed since the Public Archives of Canada and the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland first published Henry Kelsy's papers, namely his journals, letters and memoranda dealing with his long career as a servant with the Hudson's Bay Company from 1684 to 1722. The papers, long forgotten, came to public attention in 1926. The papers presented in this document consist of accounts by Kelsey of six significant episodes in his career, including his two exploratory journeys, and also of short letters and a memorandum.
Let Right Be Done
Author: Hamar FosterPublisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774840110
Category : Law

Pages : 353
Book Description
In 1973 the Supreme Court of Canada issued a landmark decision in the Calder case, confirming that Aboriginal title constituted a right within Canadian law. Let Right Be Done examines the doctrine of Aboriginal title thirty years later and puts the Calder case in its legal, historical, and political context, both nationally and internationally. With its innovative blend of scholarly analysis and input from many of those intimately involved in the case, this book should be essential reading for anyone interested in Aboriginal law, treaty negotiations, and the history of the "BC Indian land question."
