The power of place, the problem of time : Aboriginal identity and historical consciousness in the cauldron of colonialism

Carlson, Keith 1966- (Author). McHalsie, Albert Jules, 1956- (Added Author).

Summary: The Indigenous communities of the Lower Fraser River, British Columbia (a group commonly called the Stó:lõ), have historical memories and senses of identity deriving from events, cultural practices, and kinship bonds that had been continuously adapting long before a non-Native visited the area directly. In The Power of Place, the Problem of Time, Keith Thor Carlson re-thinks the history of Native-newcomer relations from the unique perspective of a classically trained historian who has spent nearly two decades living, working, and talking with the Stó:lõ peoples.
