Charts the history of Canada's Native people from first contact to current land claims
ARTHUR J. RAY is the author of, among other books, Indians and the Fur Trade. He is a professor emeritus of history at the University of British Columbia, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and co-editor of the Canadian Historical Review. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
"In keeping with Ray's standing as one of the leading historians of Canada, it is a resolutely materialist history which examines the labouring lives of Native people in the modern era as comprehensively as their pre-colonial life." University of Toronto Quarterly "Intriguing and provocative. This is not the kind of book destined to gather dust on the shelf." Canada's History "...provides the general reader with a useful introduction to many aspects of Aboriginal Canada's history ... The many well-chosen illustrations complement the text superbly." The Globe and Mail
