Land of the Midnight Sun, Third Edition: A History of the Yukon
While the Klondike Gold Rush is one of the most widely known events in Canadian history, particularly outside Canada, the rest of the Yukon’s long and diverse history attracts little attention. Important developments such as Herschel Island whaling, pre-1900 fur trading, the post-Second World War resource boom, a lengthy struggle for responsible government, and the emergence of Indigenous political protest remain poorly understood. Placing well-k…

Introduction: Indigenous Peoples in the Age of Globalization
Among the many challenging aspects of understanding indigenous peoples is the fundamental difficulty of defining just who is an indigenous person. The concept has been widely used and there is no consensus as to the precise meaning of the term. The United Nations Working Group on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, for example, could not agree on a formal definition. They opted (or opted out) to leave the issue unresolved; each group could, they de…
Spiritual Contests: Missionaries, Christianity, and Indigenous Societies
Human societies devote an enormous amount of social and cultural energy attempting to understand and explain the nature and authority of the spiritual world. Highly structured and ceremonial religions like Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam have left their mark on history through prominent spiritual buildings, central religious texts, and elaborate codes of social and public conduct. Much less well-known are the hundreds, if not thousands, of spir…
Biological Changes: Ecological Imperialism and the Transformation of Tribal Worlds
For generations, understanding of the impact of colonial expansion focused on the most obvious elements of the intrusion. Writers celebrated the work of explorers and chronicled the adventures of soldiers and traders. They often memorialized the lives and times of the early settlers and spoke warmly of the efforts of missionaries and government agents to “civilize” the frontier districts. Little was said or known about an equally dramatic transfo…
Continuing the Struggle: Indigenous Protests, Legal Agendas, and Aboriginal Internationalism
Aboriginal people have protested incursions by outsiders for centuries. A 1973 confrontation between the United States government and the Sioux Indians of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota lifted the struggle to a new level. The location — Wounded Knee — was auspicious, for it was the site of a nineteenth-century massacre of the Sioux by the US army. The American Indian Movement had established itself as a strong national voice on aborig…
Uncertainties: The Future of Indigenous Societies
The indigenous struggle to survive and to adapt to continually changing worlds continues across the globe, but the battleground has shifted. From an over-heated and crowded office on the outskirts of Moscow, the staff of Riapon (the Russsian Association of Indigenous Peoples) struggle with the complexities of developing economic development training courses, seek ways to ensure indigenous participation in the expanding Russian electoral process, …
Resistance and Adaptation: Indigenous Reaction to Newcomer Occupations
The process of mutual discovery sparked a critical era in the history of newcomer-indigenous relations. Before the first outsiders happened into aboriginal territory, the original peoples lived in limited worlds. While they typically had extensive contact with neighboring and nearby indigenous populations, these localized peoples had little information on societies from distant lands. Word filtered across indigenous lands as newcomers made first …
Peoples of the Land: Spiritual and Cultural Roots of Indigenous Societies
At no time in history have human populations been static. From the earliest centuries, societies expanded, contracted, fought, cooperated, merged, conquered, collapsed, struggled, adapted, and innovated. Peoples of a variety of cultural backgrounds undertook lengthy explorations and sought to impose their will on neighbors or distant societies, often with little success. The indigenous societies of historic times (that is, typically and inaccurat…
Final Invasions: War, Resource Development, and the Occupation of Tribal Territories
The invasion of indigenous territories occurred in broad, sweeping waves, spread over hundreds of years. For sheer intensity, sweep, and impact, however, few generations in history have witnessed the dramatic transformations of the period between 1940 and 1970. In these thirty years, indigenous peoples insulated by distance, geography, and climate from outside populations faced unprecedented pressures and technological change. The combination of …
Mutual Discovery: Tribal Peoples and the First Wave of Globalization
For most of human existence, peoples had little knowledge of other societies, save those located immediately next to their territory. In the centuries before the advent of the written and printed word, long-distance travel, and telecommunications, most societies lived in isolation. Over the centuries, human curiosity, the need for food and new resources, and improvements to technology allowed individuals and groups to venture away from their terr…
Peopling the Earth: The Greatest Migration
The initial peopling of the earth is one of the most remarkable of human experiences, and yet we know very little about this expansion. Over many centuries, and in ways as yet not clearly understood, human beings found their way into virtually all of the habitable areas of the world. Indigenous peoples have clear and consistent explanations for their emergence in their homelands, ideas and explanations which often conflict with the arguments adva…
Administered Peoples: Indigenous Nations and Regulated Societies
Indigenous peoples proved to be obstacles to colonizing powers in many parts of the world. Periods of economic cooperation and military alliance often proved short-lived, particularly when the expansionist powers dispatched large numbers of settlers or economic migrants to the new lands. So long as the newcomers did not need indigenous territories or could not find a productive use for the land, they tended to leave the aboriginal peoples alone. …

Tracking the Snowbirds: Seasonal Migration from Canada to the U.S.A. and Mexico
Spread your tiny wings and fly away And take the snow back with you Where it came from on that day So, little snowbird, take me with you when you go. To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters flow --Gene MacClellan, Snowbird, sung by Anne Murray Each fall, millions of geese, ducks, hawks, and cranes start a long migration from northern North America, heading for warmer locations in the South. A few months later, large numbers of hu…
Marshall Decision and Native Rights: The Marshall Decision and Mi'kmaq Rights in the Maritimes
In The Marshall Decision and Native Rights Ken Coates explains the cross-cultural, legal, and political implications of the recent Supreme Court decision on the Donald Marshall case. He describes the events, personalities, and conflicts that brought the Maritimes to the brink of a major confrontation between Mi'kmaq and the non-Mi'kmaq fishers in the fall of 1999, detailing the bungling by federal departments and the lack of police preparedness. …
