Excerpt from Introduction, Page 22-23:

"In conclusion, the “self-evidence” of criminalization is a trap for the unwary. Criminal law becomes all law; criminalization becomes an umbrella that covers all manner of legal forms (from liquor violations, to hunting and fishing offences, to the Indian Act, and sometimes even criminal law). In critical legal historical work on criminal law, criminal law is depicted “in one dimensional terms” – criminal law “acts against” subordinate people (women, indigenous peoples, workers, and so on).

Excerpt from Introduction, Page xvii-xviii:

"To what extent did the Hudson’s Bay Company’s Fur Trade Department undergo a metamorphosis as the industrial age advanced in Canada and the organization diversified? What kinds of business innovations did the newcomers introduce? How did changes in the industry and the company affect native peoples?

From Campbell's agency and publisher:

"This extraordinary account, written by a young Métis woman, opens the door to a little-known world that coexists alongside Canadian society. Maria Campbell shares with the reader the joys, the sorrows, the love and the tragedies of her childhood in northern Saskatchewan

One of the 'Road Allowance People,' Maria was a strong and sensitive child who lived in a community robbed of its pride and dignity by the surrounding white world.

From the Author, x, xx, xxi:

"At the signing of Treaty 6 at Fort Carlton and at Fort Pitt in 1876, there was a group of Indian people who chose not to accept and sign this Treaty. Big Bear (Mistahi-mus-kwa) was the reorganized leader of this faction. Peyasiw-awasis and his followers were part of this group. It was this period, the 1870’s, which saw the last traditional buffalo chase and the eventual passing from existence of the Buffalo.

From the Author's Abstract, Page iv:

"This book presents a general overview of Roman Catholic missionary activity within the boundaries of what is now Manitoba from 1818 until 1870, identifying the causes which led to the foundation and development of the church in the west. The establishment of eight individual mission stations is detailed, with the unique circumstances of each linked to the more general character of all Roman Catholic missions in the west.

Carlson and Labelle's review (resource attached), Page 418-419:

"The first essay in this collection, by George Colpitts, reorients our understandings of both the forms and motivations for international/tribal cooperation during the fur trade era.

From the Author's Preface:

"The purpose of this study is to present, on the basis of both written and oral sources, a new and more comprehensive insight into a Métis community in the North-West in the late 19th century.

From Foster's chapter, Page 179:

"Over the past half century the historical assessment of the nineteenth-century Plains Métis experience has altered (winterers) on the western Plains in the 1840s was, for Marvel Giraud, evidence that "primitivism" had won out over "civilization" in the lives of many of the Plains Métis. More recently, for Gerard Ens, the same evidence suggests a highly effective entrepreneurial response to an industrial market opportunity.

From the Author's Introduction, Page 5, 25:

"This book is, first and foremost, a local or “place” history. It tells the story of my hometown region north of the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, reaching back into the archaeological past and moving forward to 1940. As such, the first audience for this book is the neighbours and friends and relatives who populated my world when I was growing up and who continue to live in the area today.
