Scholars of indigenous studies face certain challenges when teaching about the ethnohistory of North American expansion in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Students are sometimes confused by assertions that colonialism continued after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War and the transformation of the thirteen colonies into new states. Nonetheless, for many native communities colonialism was the product of American democracy as the United States faced westward in hopes of expanding its political hegemony and geographic boundaries. In his thoughtful and provocative new study about the colonization of Oregon Country or Illahee (a Chinook term meaning land, soil, and place), Gray H. Whaley illuminates this complicated history by entwining assorted local stories of empire, colonialism, and indigenous sovereignty. This study of contact between Europeans, European Americans, and indigenous communities is multifaceted and compelling as the author weaves disparate threads together to tell the complex and contradictory story of colonialism as it was experienced by diverse peoples
