Reading beyond words : contexts for native history / edited by Jennifer S.H. Brown & Elizabeth Vibert.

Brown, Jennifer S. H., 1940- (Added Author). Vibert, Elizabeth, 1962- (Added Author).

Summary:

"The first edition of this collection presented some of the best new efforts to examine critically the possible interpretations of Native North American history and Native-European encounters over 500 years. In so doing it has served as a model for revisiting Native History. To this thoroughly revised new edition, three new "encounter studies" have been added, presenting original and thought-provoking work not previously published: the Frobisher expeditions and their relations with the inuit in the 1570s; Thanadelthur, the remarkable Dene woman who brought her people to a peace with the Cree and to trade with the Hudson's Bay Company in the early 1700s; and the previously unexamined dynamics of Cree-Oblate missionary relations on Hudson Bay in the late 1800s to mid-1900s, as seen from both sides."
