The Smallpox Chiefs
Although there has been much writing and speculation on the deliberate use of smallpox as a tool of genocide, this article documents the use of the bluff threat of spreading smallpox as a tool of power and manipulation in the early days of European trade and settlement in the Pacific Northwest. By documenting ten cases when a bluff threat was used, the article argues that it was a common strategy of Europeans when they felt threatened or thwarted…

Mark Rifkin. Beyond Settler Time
Mark Rifkin’s Beyond Settler Time: Temporal Sovereignty and Indigenous Self-Determination is a theoretically robust and intellectually satisfying work that challenges readers to think differently not only about the past, but also about time. It makes important contributions to several dynamic fields of scholarship, not the least of which is the historiography seeking to better elucidate the multifaceted ways in which settler colonialism (and its …

Joshua L. Reid. The Sea Is My Country
In The Sea Is My Country: The Maritime World of the Makahs, an Indigenous Borderlands People, Joshua L. Reid opens with an account of the Makah community’s successful 1999 whale hunt off the northernmost shores of Washington State. In the hands of a less insightful scholar, the event might have been used to simply cap off the increasingly familiar historical narrative of Indigenous cultural resistance alongside tribal economic and political adapt…
Clash at Clayoquot
The distinction between “settler colonialism” and “conquest colonialism,” f irst articulated by Patrick Wolfe, has added nuance to the way historians have approached and understood the process of newcomer occupation of lands, displacement of indigenous people, and colonization of both. This scholarship has also opened a historiographical door inviting others to revisit the earlier fur-trade era—a time prior to full-blown settler colonialism durin…
Since Skyscrapers
It has been a quarter century since the publication of Jim Miller's Skyscrapers Hide the Heavens: A History of Indian-White Relations in Canada (Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 1989). Coming as it did in the wake of the modern Native rights movement and the Indigenous cultural renaissance of the 1970s and '80s--and informed by a series of landmark court cases that alerted Canadians to the centrality of historical questions to pressing natio…
Introduction. Special Places and Protected Spaces
In October 2010, a group of scholars representing a variety of disciplines gathered to discuss the history of non-national parks in Canada and beyond. The following introduction draws together common threads tying the articles making up this collection together and arrives at some conclusions surrounding the history of non-national parks. Specifically we contend: 1) heterogeneous jurisdictional control seems to produce heterogeneous parks; 2) par…

Peer-reviewed
Exploring Stó
Social scientists recognize a complex and iterative relationship between the built environment and social identities. Here, we explore the extent to which household and settlement remains may be used as archaeological correlates of collective identities among the Stó:lō-Coast Salish peoples of the Fraser River Valley. Using data from six recently tested archaeological sites we begin with the household and explore expressions of identity at variou…
Reflections on Indigenous History and Memory
Born Again of the People
Luis Taruc a été l'un des plus grands artisans de la révolution paysanne des Philippines du XX e siècle. Son décès, en mai 2005, à l'âge de 91 ans invite à réfléchir aux facteurs qui ont contribué à faire de lui l'une des figures les plus tragiques de l'histoire récente des Philippines en dépit de sa popularité constante auprès des paysans de Luzon. Cette étude examine les traditions orales, compare les paroles des chansons et les productions thé…
