Two centuries ago, many hundreds of Iroquois - principally from
what is now Kahnawa:ke - left home without leaving behind their
ways of life. Recruited to man the large canoes that transported
trade goods and animal pelts from and to Montreal, some Iroquois
soon returned, while others were enticed ever further west by the
rapidly expanding fur trade. Recounting stories of Indigenous
self-determination and self-sufficiency, Iroquois in the West
tracks four clusters of travellers across time, place, and
generations: a band that settled in Montana, another ranging across
the American West, others opting for British Columbia and the
Pacific Northwest, and a group in Alberta who were evicted when
their longtime home became Jasper National Park. Reclaiming slivers
of Iroquois knowledge, anecdotes, and memories from the shadows of
the past, Jean Barman draws on sources that range from descendants'
recollections to fur-trade and government records to travellers'
accounts. What becomes clear is that, no matter the places or the
circumstances, the Iroquois never abandoned their senses of self.
Opening up new ways of thinking about Indigenous peoples through
time, Iroquois in the West shares the fascinating adventures of a
people who have waited over two hundred years to be heard.
