The original people of the Hudson Bay lowlands, often known as the
Lowland Cree and known to themselves as Muskekowuck Athinuwick,
were among the first Aboriginal peoples in northwestern North
America to come into contact with Europeans. This book challenges
long-held misconceptions about the Lowland Cree, and illustrates
how historians have often misunderstood the role and
resourcefulness of Aboriginal peoples during the fur-trade era.
Although their own oral histories tell that the Lowland Cree have
lived in the region for thousands of years, many historians have
portrayed the Lowland Cree as relative newcomers who were dependent
on the Hudson's Bay Company fur-traders by the 1700s. Historical
geographer Victor Lytwyn shows instead that the Lowland Cree had a
well-established traditional society that, far from being dependent
on Europeans, was instrumental in the survival of traders
throughout the network of HBC forts during the 18th and 19th
centuries.
