Recollecting Lives of Aboriginal Women of the Canadian Northwest and Borderlands

Some essays focus on individuals—a trader, a performer, a non-human woman. Other essays examine cohorts of women—wives, midwives, seamstresses, nuns. Authors look beyond the documentary record and standard representations of women, drawing on records generated by the women themselves, including their beadwork, other material culture, and oral histories. Exploring the constraints and boundaries these women encountered, the authors engage with difficult and important questions of gender, race, and identity. Collectively these essays demonstrate the complexity of “contact zone” interactions, and they enrich and challenge dominant narratives about histories of the Canadian Northwest.
