For four decades, Jennifer S.H. Brown has examined the complex relationships that developed among the newcomers and the Algonquian communities--who hosted and tolerated the fur traders--and later, the missionaries, anthropologists, and others who found their way into Indigenous lives and territories. The eighteen essays gathered in this book explore Brown's investigations into the surprising range of interactions among Indigenous people and newcomers as they met or observed one another from a distance, and as they competed, compromised, and rejected or adapted to change. While diverse in their subject matter, the essays have thematic unity in their focus on the old HBC territory and its peoples from the 1600s to the present. More than an anthology, the chapters of An Ethnohistorian in Rupert's Land provide examples of Brown's exceptional skill in the close study of texts, including oral documents, images, artifacts, and other cultural expressions. The volume as a whole represents the scholarly evolution of one of the leading ethnohistorians in Canada and the United States."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aEthnohistory$zRupert's Land 606 $aFur trade$zRupert's Land 606 $aFur traders$zRupert's Land 606 $aIndians of North America$zRupert's Land 607 $aRupert's Land$xHistory 610 $afur trade 610 $aOjibwe 610 $aalgonquian studies 610 $aojibwa 610 $aCree 610 $amission history 615 0$aEthnohistory 615 0$aFur trade 615 0$aFur traders 615 0$aIndians of North America 676 $a971.201 700 $aBrown$b Jennifer S.
