Description
This text provides a geographic overview of the changing demography and settlement patterns of one of British Columbia's largest native groups, the Kwakwaka'wakw, between 1775 and 1920. It also provides a reference guide to the location and use of Kwakwaka'wakw sites. Much archival data on 18th- and 19th-century British Columbia has become available in the last 20 years. Galois uses these recent sources, as they pertain to the Kwakwaka'wakw, to examine some of the consequences of the interaction of native and non-native peoples. In a place as environmentally diverse as British Columbia, such detailed regional analyses are essential in order to unravel the complexities of the contact process.
