This article examines the factors contributing to the persistence of aboriginal populations in the face of contact with European societies. Hohenthal and McCorkle challenge the prevailing notion that aboriginal decline is inevitable, arguing that persistence is a complex process influenced by ecological, social, and cultural factors. They analyze case studies of various aboriginal groups, highlighting the importance of adaptability, resourcefulness, and social cohesion in their survival. The authors emphasize the role of aboriginal agency in shaping their own destinies and advocate for a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of cultural contact
