Intangible Culture on Inland Seas, from Hudson Bay to Canadian Heritage

Several vital issues of method and approach arise in this special issue on Native women and Christianization. The foregrounding of gender, our questions about how best to conceptualize Native-Christian interactions, and the problems of hearing and adequately presenting the voices of the past involve us in a morality play that began a long time ago and still continues

Ethnohistorians: Strange Bedfellows, Kindred Spirits
For many of us, ethnohistory has personal meanings associated with our individual odysseys into this liminal domain. Perhaps a look at these meanings in a particular instance would cast some light into the rather obscure niche occupied by our field, methodology, approach, or whatever it is we do when we do ethnohistory. I'd like to subject this captive audience to a small dose of introspection about one individual's ethnohistorical peregrinations…

When the windigo phenomenon is considered from the point of view of group sociodynamics rather than from th…
The Orders of the Dreamed: George Nelson on Cree and Northern Ojibwa Religion and Myth, 1823
Among Anglo-Canadian fur traders of the early nineteenth century, George Nelson stands out for his interest in the life and ways of the native people he encountered.

During that time he kept a letter-journal, addressed to his father, in which he related his observations of Cree and Northern…

Partners in Furs: A History of the Fur Trade in Eastern James Bay, 1600-1870
The patterns and course of contact between traders from Europe and the Indian populations are described and both English and French sources are used to reveal the competition between the two groups of traders and its impact on the native people. As the Hudson's Bay Company was the one permanent European presence during the period, this ethnohistorical study makes extensive use of unpublished HBC papers. The authors also examine such issues as the…
