It takes patience and dedication to recover and communicate the
experiences and perspectives of those for whom the historical
record is lacking or severely limited by the interpretation of
others--it takes reading beyond words. The first edition of this
highly praised 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
doing so it served as a model for revisiting Native history.
To this extensively 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.
