Literary depictions of these men of European origin reveal the dominant culture's changing attitudes toward Amerindians and land use, exposing each period's problematic behavior vis-a?-vis different cultures and the environment and the intercultural connections and business relationships that point to the way forward. 410 0$aAfter the empire. 606 $aFrench-Canadian literature 615 0$aFrench-Canadian literature. 676 $a840 700 $aRehill$b Annie$01557500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798547803321 996 $aBackwoodsmen as ecocritical motif in French Canadian literature$93821064 997 $aUNINA
