He argues that Native people have played a major role in shaping the history of the region and determining the relationship with the immigrant population. They recognized the conflict between the material and technological advantages of an imposed economic order and the desire to maintain a harvesting existence. While they readily accepted technological innovations, they resisted the imposition of an industrial, urban environment. Contemporary land claims show their long-standing attachment to the land and demonstrate a continued, assertive response to non-Native intervention. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history ;$v11. 606 $aIndians of North America$zYukon$xHistory 607 $aYukon Territory$xRace relations 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory. 676 $a971.9/100497 700 $aCoates$b Kenneth$f1956-$0229466 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784608403321 996 $aBest left as Indians$91770731 997 $aUNINA
