For this edition, Robin Fisher has written a new introduction in which he surveys the literature since 1977 and comments on any new insights into these relationships. Fisher contends that the fur trade had originally brought minimal cultural change to the Indians. In 1858 it essentially came to an end, and with the beginning of white settlement, there was a fundamental change in the relationship between Indians and Europeans. What had been a reciprocal system between the two civilizations became a pattern of white dominance. He shows that while the Indians had been able to adjust gradually to the changes introduced by the traders in the contact period, they lost control of their culture under the impact of colonization.Indians of North AmericaBritish ColumbiaHistoryIndians of North AmericaCanadaGovernment relationsIndians of North AmericaHistory.Indians of North AmericaGovernment relations.971.1/004/97Fisher Robin1946-1670945MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816026103321Contact and conflict4098354UNINA
