It offers a new lens for viewing a region as it provides fresh insight into such topics as landscape change, perceptions of place, and Indigenous-white relations.The Fraser Valley has long been a scene of natural resource appropriation--furs and fish, timber and agriculture--with settlement patterns and land claims centering on the use of these materials. Oliver demonstrates how social change and cultural understanding are tied to the way that people use and remake the landscape. Drawing on ethnographic texts, archaeological evidence, cartography, and historical writing, he has created a deep history of the valley that enables us to view how human entanglements with landscape were creative of a variety of contentious issues. By capturing the multiple dynamics that were operating in the past, Oliver shows us not only how landscape transformations were implicated in constructing different perceptions of place but also how such changes influenced peoplesâ understanding of history and identity.The Fraser Valley in British Columbia has been viewed historically as a typical setting of Indigenous-white interaction. Jeff Oliver now reexamines the social history of this region from pre-contact to the violent upheavals of nineteenth and early twentieth century colonialism to argue that the dominant discourses of progress and colonialism often mask the real social and physical process of change that occurred here--change that can be more meaningfully tied to transformations in the land.WeisseidszbzIndianeridszbzSozialer WandelidszbzKulturwandelidszbzLandschaftsentwicklungidszbzSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst01919811Social archaeologyfast(OCoLC)fst01122274Material culturefast(OCoLC)fst01011739Land settlementfast(OCoLC)fst00991305Indians of North AmericaFirst contact with other peoplesfast(OCoLC)fst00969743Human ecologyfast(OCoLC)fst00962941Historical geographyfast(OCoLC)fst00958122Cultural landscapesfast(OCoLC)fst01740895ColonizationSocial aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst01352477ColonisationAspect socialHistoireColonisation interieureColombie-BritanniqueFraser, Vallee duHistoireCulture materielleColombie-BritanniqueFraser, Vallee duÉcologie humaineColombie-BritanniqueFraser, Vallee duArcheologie socialeColombie-BritanniqueFraser, Vallee duPaysages culturelsColombie-BritanniqueFraser, Vallee duIndians of North AmericaFirst contact with other peoplesBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleyColonizationSocial aspectsHistoryLand settlementBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleyHistoryMaterial cultureBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleyHuman ecologyBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleySocial archaeologyBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleyCultural landscapesBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleyFraser RiveridszbzBritish ColumbiaFraser River ValleyfastFraser River Valley (B.C.)Social conditionsFraser River Valley (B.C.)Historical geographyHistory.ArchaeologyWeisse.Indianer.Sozialer Wandel.Kulturwandel.Landschaftsentwicklung.Social conditionsSocial archaeology.Material culture.Land settlement.Indians of North AmericaFirst contact with other peoples.Human ecology.Historical geography.Cultural landscapes.ColonizationSocial aspects.ColonisationAspect socialHistoire.Colonisation interieureHistoire.Culture materielleÉcologie humaineArcheologie socialePaysages culturelsIndians of North AmericaFirst contact with other peoplesColonizationSocial aspectsHistory.Land settlementHistory.Material cultureHuman ecologySocial archaeologyCultural landscapesOliver Jeff1973-1241278MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910574867403321Landscapes and social transformations on the Northwest coast2879449UNINA
