- Abstract
- During the 1820s, Edmonton House re-emerged as the headquarters of a much larger Saskatchewan trading District of the Hudson's Bay Company. Its fur-gathering larger hinterland extended from the southern edges of the boreal forest near present-day Westlock, Alberta, south to the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers, and from the confluence of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers west to the Rocky Mountains - in short, virtually all of what is now central and southern Alberta, and parts of Saskatchewan and Montana. [...] The Bow River Expedition, 1822-1823 Seeking to expand the fur trade more completely into what is now southern Alberta, and northern Montana, the Hudson's Bay Company dispatched an expedition of officers and men up the South Saskatchewan River in 1822, with excursions to the Red Deer, Bow, and Oldman Rivers. Through circumstances, such as hostilities by certain Aboriginal groups and the scarcity of timber, persuaded the Company not to build a permanent post during this time, the journal of the expedition contains a wealth of information about the land and the people living on it. --From back cover

- Abstract
- Iroquois principally from Caughnawaga, today's Kahnawa`:ke, were recruited now two centuries ago on a par with Whites to man the large canoes taking trade goods west from nearby Montreal, coming back with animal pelts. While some soon returned home, others stuck with the fur trade, yet others made their lives across the west so far as possible on their own terms. Their stories speak to Indigenous self-determination and self-sufficiency. The book tracks four Iroquois clusters or bands across time, place, and generations. Set down among Montana Flatheads, Iroquois responded to their host's desire for the Catholicism they brought with them from Quebec by four expeditions to St. Louis in search of a Jesuit missionary, who no sooner arrived than lost interest, leaving Iroquois once again to mentor their hosts. The fur trade's economic imbalance impelled a second group, whose words quite remarkably survive as they were spoken, to overturn the status quo to the advantage of employees, they themselves engaging the American west. A third group opted for the Pacific Northwest fur trade, those doing so on the American side of a border put in place in 1846 discovering their long service mattered for naught when they sought to settle among their White counterparts, those in British territory faring somewhat better. Repeatedly lauded in travelers' accounts, a fourth cluster was displaced on their homeland becoming Jasper National Park, again on their new locale an Alberta boom town, yet still today self-identify as Iroquois.
