A companion website for students and instructors includes test banks, PowerTrade Review"The authors use and point readers to Internet resources, including museum collections, which are essential to Northwest history today. The book's text and its many features highlight a more inclusive past than textbooks from previous generations [...] Drawing sometimes from local newspapers and occasionally from interviews brings voices of immediacy from the past to the reader." - Oregon Historical Quarterly (2017)"My community college students appreciate the storytelling [and] the brief topical narratives touching on the book’s thematic approach. My favorite aspect is the use of primary sources, all of which are footnoted, and the extensive bibliographies at the back of each chapter. The notes are not intrusive, and students come away with a keen sense of how historians think and write [...] Jepsen and Norberg have given us an interesting way to conceptualize invisible borders, and it’s a theme that my students and I can dig into as we share and reflect on the multitude of narratives and competing viewpoints that continue to shape this region." - Anna Booker, Whatcom Community College (2019) Table of ContentsList of Illustrations xi Authors’ Biographies xv Preface and acknowledgments xvii Introduction xix Part I Clash of Cultures 1 1 Early Encounters 3 Ships logs tell of a clash of cultures 5 British pursue “every branch” of Puget Sound 6 “Mean huts and wretched sheds” greet explorers 8 Understanding European misconceptions 9 Robert Gray braves entrance to Columbia River 10 Lewis and Clark arrive by land, 1804 to 1806 13 Meeting with Shoshone turns tense 15 Assessing the Corps of Discovery 20 The time of the people 22 Sacagawea: heroism in perspective 27 Explore more 30 Notes 30 2 Trade Among Equals 35 Slow beginning for fur trade 36 An “astronomical” tale 36 ‘Single-minded’ pursuit of otter skins 37 Traders establish permanent presence in interior 39 Hudson’s Bay Company takes charge 41 Aggressive tactics create “fur deserts” 42 British diversify beyond furs 44 HBC–Native relations – the ties that bind trade 46 From ‘bad to worse’ and the end of an era 50 Explore more 52 Notes 53 3 Making a Christian Farmer 59 In search of a holy life 60 Seeking the “book of heaven” 61 Promising start in God’s work 64 Protestants and Catholics compete for converts 66 A day of reckoning at Waiilatpu 74 Indian Removal Act of 1830 – a portent of trouble for Northwest natives 78 Beyond the written word – the drawings of Father Nicolas Point 79 Explore more 81 Notes 81 4 Building an American Northwest 87 Americans look West 87 Experiencing the Oregon Trail 89 Forging American institutions in Oregon 93 Taming a ‘wilderness’ 95 Nothing settled – Indian reservations and war 97 “Seeing the Elephant” – the Catherine Sager story 103 Mother Joseph – a Northwest builder 104 Federal boarding schools challenge cultural boundaries 106 Explore more 108 Notes 109 Important Dates and Events 115 Part II People and Place 117 5 Riding the Railroad Rollercoaster 119 Unlimited opportunity, limited markets 121 Frenzy of railroad construction 122 Big ideas from flawed men 124 Marketing the “wasteland” as a “friendly place” 125 Making and breaking cities 128 Extraction industry finally on wheels 131 Not all is rosy in rail town 133 Panic exposes poor management 135 James J.

Addressing the loss of both the identity and the sacred landscape of indigenous peoples, the author compares various kinds of relocation between different indigenous groups ranging from the removal and assimilation policies of the United StTrade Review"This book would be particularly useful to undergraduates seeking an introduction to the field of Indigenous studies, genocide studies, or western history."—Journal of Arizona History, Volume 64, Number 4, Winter 2023Table of ContentsIllustrations ix Maps x Foreword xi Preface xv Prologue: Indigenous People in a Global Context Myth, Struggle and Survival xxiv Part I Slavery and Removal in California and the Far West 1 1 Lincoln, Free Soil and Frémont: The Emancipation Proclamation and Indian Slavery 3 Commentary: Lincoln and the Pueblos 26 2 Numu (Paiute) Wanderings, Trails, and Tears 27 Commentary: The Military and the Boarding School 54 3 Great Basin Tribal Politics: Western Shoshones, Southern Paiutes, and Colorado Utes 63 Part II The Arizona–Sonoran Experience 67 4 The Long Walk of the Navajos 69 Commentary: The Hopi–Navajo Land Controversy 97 5 Death of Mangas Coloradas, Chiricahua “Renegades,” and Apache Prisoners of War 105 6 Treasure Hunters Hunting Deer Hunters: Yavapai and Apache Gold 133 7 With Friends like These: The O’odham Water Controversy 157 Commentary: Mormons and Lamanites 183 Part III From Removal (Ethnic Cleansing) to Genocide 189 8 From Battle to Massacre on the Bear River 191 9 Slaying the Deer Slayers in Mexico: The Yaqui Experience 222 10 Epilogue: After Relocation, from Geronimo to Houser 247 Notes 270 For Further Reading 341 Acknowledgments 350 Index 355

Book SynopsisIn December 1997, in a small town in rural Australia, a fight broke out among local Aborigines that turned into a full-blown riot when police intervened in force. In Blackfellas, Whitefellas, and the Hidden Injuries of Race, anthropologist Gillian Cowlishaw uses this vivid incident as a means of launching a larger discussion about race, identity, and racialized violence. Brings indigenous Australians into the contemporary global race discourse in a lively, highly readable ethnography. Explores the local and national meanings of a race riot in Australia and the entrenched racial binary evident in everyday relationships. Raises questions about history, memory, citizenship, respect, and abjection as means of considering the politics, social science, and psychology of race rivalry and indigenous marginality. Written by a prominent scholar with clarity, verve, and accessibility both for beginners and those well-versed in contemporary Trade ReviewWinner of the Gleebooks Prize for Critical Writing 2005, a New South Wales Premier's Literary Award "Would that we all perform our duties with the sophisticated balance of sensitivity, objectivity, and thoroughness that Cowlishaw shows in this work." Journal of Anthropological Research "[T]his finely observed qualitative study... poses questions that resonate far beyond the research site, exploring issues that will be of interest to specialists on settler societies as well as to students of ethnic and racial relations in general.... Blackfellas, Whitefellas is a powerful book... an elegant and compelling argument." Ethnic and Racial Studies "Everybody should read this book." The Australian Journal of Anthropology "This is an unusually important book for anyone concerned with understanding race relations in settler colonies--not only Australia, but also Canada and the United States. What can ‘multiculturalism’ mean when it comes to indigenous peoples and white majorities? A talented ethnographer and relentlessly critical thinker, Gillian Cowlishaw examines these matters with theoretical sophistication and compelling ethnographic description. She brilliantly helps the reader to understand how and why local people identify and act in racialized ways, and she demonstrates both the psychic gains and the personal injuries that inevitably inhere to race. Perhaps the greatest contribution of Cowlishaw’s book is the nuanced weaving together of a performative analysis of racial agency;…this is as much about the production of national white privilege as it is about local-level race-making. The reader---whether a racial minority or a member of a national racial majority---will inevitably see herself implicated in this penetrating description of race. This is the best kind of anthropology." Tom Biolsi, Portland State University "In this rich, highly readable ethnographic account, Gillian Cowlishaw seeks to reveal the ‘hidden injuries’ of race relations in a small rural town in north-western NSW. She eloquently develops her analysis around a particular social drama - a ‘riot’ that occurred in the main street in 1997, after police intervened in a fight among local Aboriginal people. ... Blackfellas, Whitefellas, and the Hidden Injuries of Race is a critically important study, and essential reading, not just for all anthropologists interested in Australia, but for anyone searching for a way to understand the everyday practices and performances of race and racism as well as the irruptions of full-blown racialized violence that become front-page news. Perhaps Cowlishaw’s most valuable contribution is the highly accessible way in which she articulates her discussion with the voices of Indigenous people." -Rosita Henry, James Cook University "Dense, well-argued, fascinating and insightful, the book offers fresh perspectives that seriously challenge contemporary understandings and accepted perceptions... Using the 'so-called' Bourke riots as a focus for a discussion of race and associated topics, Gillian Cowlishaw shows how powerfully a non-Indigenous author can address such circumstances... remarkable."

Book SynopsisIncludes twenty-five original essays that bring a modern perspective to Native American histories that were at one time related exclusively by Euro-American settlers. This title covers the breadth of American Indian history, including contacts with settlers, religion, family, economy, law, education, gender issues, and culture.Trade Review"Philip Deloria and Neal Salisbury have brought together some of the best scholars writing about American Indian peoples and given them topics that both reflect and expand the new scholarship on Indian history and culture. The volume is a virtual compass for readers and scholars interested in American Indians." Richard White, Stanford University "If you need to know where the practice of American Indian history has been; better yet, if you need and want to catch up with where it's going, you will need A Companion to American Indian History. Each essay, in its own right, gives an important stylistic and substantive shove to the new writing of American Indian history while it offers the latest, best word in dutiful exegetical historiography. The Companion is the bridge-building, critical, enlightened, reflexive work the editors hoped for, and more, since its bridge-dynamiting challenges to Indian history are graceful and graciously delivered." Rayna Green, National Museum of American History. "Historians are exceedingly well served by this companion on Native peoples of the USA, north-western Mexico, Canada and Western Greenland." Antiquity "This volume testifies to the strength and comprehensiveness of the "Blackwell Companions to American History" series... The selection of writers and topics is excellent, and the quality of the historiographical essays matches or supersedes the spate of recently published books that have attempted similar tasks... The essays go beyond a mere listing of sources to intelligently integrate shifts in interpretation over time and to indicate weaknesses in the existing canon of knowledge. Academic researchers, general readers, and members of Native American communities can all profit from these sophisticated essays... this reference work deserves a place in all libraries, and it should be widely used to spaark further debate."

Among other kinds of contact, the contributors also imagine alternative connections between indigenous and American studies.The subject of United States military and government hegemony has long overshadowed discussions of contact with peoples of other origins. The articles in this volume explore transnational and cross-ethnic exchanges among indigenous peoples of the Americas, including the Caribbean and Pacific Islands.

Book SynopsisIn Contemporary Social Constructionism, Darin Weinberg provides a detailed, critical overview of the key themes of this school of thought, which explains how phenomena and ways of thinking develop in their social contexts. Weinberg traces the multiple roots of social constructionism, and shows how it has been used, critiqued, and refined within the social and human sciences. Contemporary Social Constructionism illuminates how constructionist social science developed in relation to positivism, critical and hermeneutic philosophy, and feminism and then goes on to distinguish the concept from postmodernism and deconstructionism. In addition, Weinberg shows how social constructionists have contributed to our understanding of biology, the body, self-knowledge, and social problems. The result is a contemporary statement of social constructionism that shores up its scientific veracity and demonstrates its analytic power, promise, and influence. The book concludes with a look toward the futurTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments 1 What is Social Constructionism? 2 The Philosophical Foundations of Social Constructionism 3 Social Constructionism Contra Deconstructionism and Postmodernism 4 Social Constructionism and the Body 5 The Social Construction of Self-Knowledge 6 The Social Construction of Social Problems 7 The Way Forward for Social Constructionism Notes References Index

Book SynopsisCovering topics such as the Indian Act, the High Arctic relocation of 1953, and the conflict at Ipperwash, Keith D. Smith draws on a diverse selection of documents including letters, testimonies, speeches, transcripts, newspaper articles, and government records.Trade ReviewKeith D. Smith's Strange Visitors: Documents in Indigenous-Settler Relations in Canada from 1876 is an excellent resource for instructors and students alike, and it could not have been published at a better time. In a clearly written introduction to a collection of primary source documents for Indigenous studies and Canadian history classes, the author has provided a how-to manual to critically assess both historical and modern documents. Smith reminds us that critical reading is 'a life skill-some might say even a duty in a democratic society' (xxiii). In very accessible language, he breaks down the difference between 'reading with the grain'-what an author wants the reader to believe-and 'reading against the grain'-that is, interrogating the document to uncover embedded meanings. The introduction is so clearly written that Smith's book should serve not only as a text for undergraduates but could easily find a niche in high school classes where teachers often struggle to find high-quality resources for their students. -- Canadian Historical Review This is a timely, thoughtful, and useful collection of primary documents on the history of the interactions among Indigenous people, non-Indigenous people, and the Canadian state. Given what is currently available, it will be invaluable to those teaching Native Studies, Canadian history and, at least as background material, Indigenous law. -- BC StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction Chapter 1 "In a State of Tutelage": The Indian Act of 1876 1.1 House of Commons Debates on the Proposed Indian Act, 1876 1.2 The Indian Act of 1876 1.3 Letter from George Buck and 32 Other Six Nations Chiefs, 1876 Chapter 2 "No More Fighting Between Anyone": The Numbered Treaties 2.1 Area of Treaty 7 and the Traditional Territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy 2.2 Boundaries of the Numbered Treaties 2.3 Treaty 7, 1877 2.4 Report of Lieutenant Governor and Special Indian Commissioner David Laird, 1877 2.5 Letter from Father Constantine Scollen, 1879 2.6 Interview with Cecile Many Guns (Grassy Water), 1973 2.7 Interview with Mrs. Annie Buffalo (Sitting Up High), 1975 Chapter 3 "Then Go, and Strike for Liberty and Life": The 1885 Resistance in the North-West 3.1 Riel's Case, 1885 3.2 Report of Superintendent of Indian Affairs John A.

Book SynopsisLiving with Strangers tells the story of the Sioux who moved into the Canadian-American borderlands in the later years of the nineteenth century. David G. McCrady's award-winning study crosses national boundaries to examine how Native peoples on both sides of the border reacted to the arrival of the Sioux.Trade Review'In this intensively researched and tightly executed book, David McCrady illuminates important aspects of the much-neglected history of Sioux people living in the Canadian-American borderlands in the late-nineteenth century ... Living With Strangers not only makes a valuable contribution to the literature on the Sioux, it challenges all historians of North America to overcome the limitations of remaining on one side of the continent's national borders.' -- Jeffrey Ostler, Western Historical Quarterly 'There is much to compliment in Living with Strangers. It shifts the historical border focus from Canada-United States national studies by uncovering northern Sioux border history and explaining tribal relationship with the international boundary.' -- Richmond L.

It suggests the need for further studies of Native peoples divided by European-imposed boundaries in North America and on other continents.' -- William A.

Book SynopsisSeparate Beds is the shocking story of Canada’s system of segregated health care. Operated by the same bureaucracy that was expanding health care opportunities for most Canadians, the “Indian Hospitals” were underfunded, understaffed, overcrowded, and rife with coercion and medical experimentation. Established to keep the Aboriginal tuberculosis population isolated, they became a means of ensuring that other Canadians need not share access to modern hospitals with Aboriginal patients.Tracing the history of the system from its fragmentary origins to its gradual collapse, Maureen K. Lux describes the arbitrary and contradictory policies that governed the “Indian Hospitals,” the experiences of patients and staff, and the vital grassroots activism that pressed the federal government to acknowledge its treaty obligations.A disturbing look at the dark side of the liberal welfare state, Separate Beds reveals a history of racism Trade Review'Lux's detailed account will surely be of interest to scholars of Aboriginal history and health care as well as to the people interested in the development of Indian hospitals in Canada.' -- Joanne DeCosse Canada's History October-November 2016 "In painstaking research and matter-of-fact reportage, Associate Professor Lux of Brock University documents Canadian apartheid.

Book SynopsisThroughout the nineteenth and most of the twentieth century, the majority of Canadians argued that European civilization must replace Indigenous culture. The ultimate objective was assimilation into the dominant society. Seen but Not Seen explores the history of Indigenous marginalization and why non-Indigenous Canadians failed to recognize Indigenous societies and cultures as worthy of respect. Approaching the issue biographically, Donald B. Smith presents the commentaries of sixteen influential Canadians including John A. Macdonald, George Grant, and Emily Carr who spoke extensively on Indigenous subjects. Supported by documentary records spanning over nearly two centuries, Seen but Not Seen covers fresh ground in the history of settler-Indigenous relations.Trade Review"Seen but Not Seen is a meticulously-researched and beautifully written documentary of the great contradiction of our national life." -- Holly Doan * Blacklock's Reporter *"The book is excellent, balanced and illuminating. While it is factually very rich, as well as researched and referenced, it is very readable and accessible." -- Chris Stoate * Oakville News *"To see Indigenous peoples, we must also see ourselves. With this well-written, engrossing, and often sobering book, Smith helps us do some of that work, with all the responsibilities it implies." -- Elaine Coburn * Literary Review of Canada *"If more educators and politicians had historically approached this subject area with the same deference and respect, there may not have ever been a need for a century of periodic national commissions of inquiry into the sad state of relations between Canadians and First peoples." -- Maurice Switzer * Anishinabek News *"Seen But Not Seen is an eminent historian's portrait gallery: faces of the long century in which Canada was constituted, treaties made, the West settled, residential schools established, and Indigenous peoples shunted to the margins of public awareness." -- Roger Epp, University of Alberta * Alberta Views *"The culmination of Smith's illustrious career writing on Canadian history, Seen but Not Seen vivifies that history with lively biographies of the politicians who made Canadian Indian policies, First Nations activists, scholars, and supporters of Indian rights." -- A. B. Kehoe, Marquette University * CHOICE *"There is something here for everyone: specialists will find accounts of some ‘influencers’ who are little-known today, while readers new to the field will find a balanced telling of some important stories. At a time when emotions are running high and dubious claims are being made about Canadian history, Donald Smith is a voice of informed reason. Seen but Not Seen deserves to be widely read and deeply savoured." -- Kerry Abel, Carleton University * Prairie History *"Donald B. Smith, emeritus professor of history at the University of Calgary, provides fascinating biographical portraits of sixteen non-Indigenous individuals from different professions and examines how each influenced Canadian perceptions of Indigenous peoples. Well known as the author of previous biographies of Mississauga Chief Peter Jones and the mysterious Buffalo Child Long Lance, Smith draws on knowledge gained in a half-century of archival research and field work to provide readers of Seen but Not Seen with the reasons for Ottawa’s many failures in regard to Indigenous peoples. Although geared for Canadian scholars, historians of Native Americans in the United States will find Smith’s excellent work quite illuminating, as much has parallels south of the international boundary line." -- Laurence M. Hauptman, State University of New York * American Indian Culture & Research Journal *"While most studies in the field evaluate Indigenous policy through laws and the communities impacted by them, Smith focuses on the lawmakers and activists themselves. Shifting the focus from the nation state, governmental departments, and police bureaus to individuals may inspire new conversations around settler accountability for historic wrongdoings." -- Emma Scott and Brittany Luby * Canadian Historical Review *"Seen but Not Seen represents an outstanding culmination of a lifetime of work of one of the first Canadian historians to enter the field of Indigenous history." -- Kevin Brushett * Ontario History *"Seen but Not Seen: Influential Canadians and the First Nations from the 1840s to Today offers readers unparalleled expertise on Canadian indigeneity across two centuries." -- Jan Noel, University of Toronto * Ethnohistory *"With Seen but Not Seen, Smith has taken a voluminous amount of research and distilled it into a readable, balanced account that’s packed with fascinating detail.

Book SynopsisThe supposed extinction of the Indigenous Beothuk people of Newfoundland in the early nineteenth century is a foundational moment in Canadian history. Increasingly under scrutiny, non-Indigenous perceptions of the Beothuk have had especially dire and far-reaching ramifications for contemporary Indigenous people in Newfoundland and Labrador. Tracing Ochre reassesses popular beliefs about the Beothuk. Placing the group in global context, Fiona Polack and a diverse collection of contributors juxtapose the history of the Beothuk with the experiences of other Indigenous peoples outside of Canada, including those living in former British colonies as diverse as Tasmania, South Africa, and the islands of the Caribbean. Featuring contributions of Indigenous and non-Indigenous thinkers from a wide range of scholarly and community backgrounds, Tracing Ochre aims to definitively shift established perceptions of a people who were among the first to confront European coloniaTrade Review"The mournful story of the "last of the Boethuks"" still resonates as part of Newfoundland history.

Book SynopsisNo matter where in Canada they occur, inquiries and inquests into untimely Indigenous deaths in state custody often tell the same story. Repeating details of fatty livers, mental illness, alcoholic belligerence, and a mysterious incapacity to cope with modern life, the legal proceedings declare that there are no villains here, only inevitable casualties of Indigenous life.But what about a sixty-seven-year-old man who dies in a hospital in police custody with a large, visible, purple boot print on his chest? Or a barely conscious, alcoholic older man, dropped off by police in a dark alley on a cold Vancouver night? Or Saskatoon’s infamous and lethal starlight tours, whose victims were left on the outskirts of town in sub-zero temperatures? How do we account for the repeated failure to care evident in so many cases of Indigenous deaths in custody?In Dying from Improvement, Sherene H. Razack argues that, amidst systematic state violence against Indigenous pTrade Review'This is a passionate, thought-provoking, and disconcerting book... A milestone in the study of deaths of Aboriginal people in Canada.' -- Liqun Cao The Canadian Journal of Native Studies, vol 35:02:2015 "This a difficult but important book to read. Razack balances her analysis of state violence with the agency of Indigenous family members, but she deals with a topic few Canadians want to acknowledge." -- Lianne C. Leddy Herizons, Fall 2016| Vol 30 No.2 'Dying from Improvement is a courageous, confrontational analysis into the roots of indigenous injustice and deaths.' -- Megan Siu Canadian Law Library Review vol 41:04:2016 "While Razack does not offer explicit remedies for the crisis in accountability of the Canadian police forces, the importance of this book lies in its use as a critical tool in locating colonialism in the modern Canadian narrative, especially in the upcoming inquiry into murdered and missing indigenous women. DYING FROM IMPROVEMENT is an important read for all those who will be paying close attention to the process as it unfolds, and a call-to-arms to ensure that its outcomes, conclusions and remedies are, indeed, just." -- Kimberly Wilson Canadian Dimension, Volume 50, No2, Spring 2016 'Razack's arguments are provocative.
