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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'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. Clow, Journal of American History 'Living with Strangers serves as a valuable corrective lens to the national blinkers that limit some historians' vision. It suggests the need for further studies of Native peoples divided by European-imposed boundaries in North America and on other continents.' -- William A. Dobak, American Indian Culture and Research Journal 'This [book] will work well for courses on the Northern Plains, the North American West, and Native American\/First Nations history. Especially useful for class settings will be the introductory and concluding chapters that spell out reasons to study comparative and transnational history ... [Living with Strangers] presents a deep sense of place and adds significantly to historians' growing understanding of the borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests.' -- Sterling Evans, American Historical Review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS   List of Illustrationix Prefacexi A Note on Sioux Groups and Leadersxv1.Introduction: Partitioning Sioux History12.From Contested Ground to Borderlands, 1752-186283.The Dakota Conflict of 1862 and the Migration to the Plains Borderlands174.The Migration of the Sioux to the Milk River Country315.The Sioux, the Surveyors, and the North-West Mounted Police, 1872-1874496.The Great Sioux War, 1876-1877617.The Lakotas and Metis atWood Mountain, 1876-1881768.The Failure of Peace in Canada, 1878-1881869.Overview: The Northern Borderlands103 Notes115 Bibliography145 Index159","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408347963735,"sku":"9781442609907","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442609907.jpg?v=1730502539","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/living-with-strangers-9781442609907","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
