In writing this book, the author has endeavoured to provide a history of the Indi-an and Inuit peoples of northern Canada interpreted from a native standpoint. He has been motivated by two considerations: to give the original Canadians an opportunity to learn not only the broad outlines of their historical and cul-tural development, but also the details?peoples, places, and events; and to give people in southern Canada, and elsewhere, a more accurate version of northern history and ethnology. The author follows the story from prehistoric times to the emergence of the three great groups of hunting peoples, the Algonkian, Athapaskan, and Inuit, describing their lifestyles and characteristics which form an intrinsic part of the cultural heritage of the native people today. He devotes particular atten-tion to the fur trade, its effects, and the emergence of the Metis people; to the various Indian tribes and some of their outstanding leaders; to the great chan-ges which trading and whaling brought to the Arctic and the Inuit who lived there; to the Yukon Indians and the Gold Rush; to the coming of Christianity; and to the effect of government on the people and their whole way of life. Fin-ally, he describes how they have grasped the weapon of political power and provides a survey of current Indian, Inuit, and Metis leaders in many fields. Keith Crowe has spent much of his life living and working with the Indian and Inuit peoples and has been deeply involved with all aspects of northern administration and development. He has served for many years with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs.
